by which means the whipple is raised, that if it 

 does brush the beans, it is so high in the stalk, 

 that they bend easily to it without suffering da- 

 mage ; but the higher it is thus raised the better. 

 I have seen them work in Kent, when men from 

 other counties thought it impossible. In this state 

 of the crops, the block of the shim is in a position 

 longitudinal with the rows, otherwise the ends may 

 break the stalks. In common, however, the only 

 horse work wanting this month is earthing up. 

 Weeds are never to be left, the hands and hand- 

 hoes are ever to attack them. 



LUCERNE. 



The lucerne will be ready to cut again this 

 month : if it was drilled for horse-hoeing, the in- 

 tervals must be directly horse-hoed the contrary 

 way to the last. In respect to hand -hoeing, the 

 best rule will be to do it according to the growth 

 of weeds : there is no necessity for it while the 

 rows continue clean : the weeds that arise among 

 the plants in the rows, should be plucked out, and 

 particularly all grasses, which are the I ene- 



mies to this crop. 



But if the lucerne was sown according to the 

 directions given iu this Calendar, that is, either 

 broad-cast, or in drills at nine inches, probably 

 nothing need be done in cleaning this month ; as 

 one or two scarify ings in the year, will keep it 

 iciently clean. 



BURNET.
