OCT.] MAXUJiE AND PLOUGH FOR BEANS. 501 



SOW WHEAT. 



All the cases of sowing this grain in September, arc 

 equally applicable to October, if the. weather was too 

 dry in that month. October is the principal month 

 in the year for putting in wheat throughout the king- 

 dom, and it is every where partly performed in this 

 month, though some like to postpone it to Novem- 

 ber. The management is however bad, should the 

 season suit in October. 



SOW WINTER TARES. 



There should be two sowings of tares in this 

 month, as it is a material object to have a succession 

 for soiling. 



MANURE AND PLOUGH FOR BEANS. 

 A successful bean husbandry upon har^h and diffi- 

 cult soils, depends upon the exertions which are made 

 in this month, or, in favourable weather, in Novem- 

 ber. As soon as the farmer has finished his wheat 

 sowing (and before, if he has been delayed by drought), 

 he should cart on the manure, all that is possible for 

 beans. It is the wheat, barley, or oat stubbles, or 

 layers which will come in course to receive it : if the 

 wheat, the stubble must be mown and carted first ; 

 the manure then carted and spread, and the land 

 carefully ploughed into that form on which the crop 

 is in the spring to be drilled or dibbled. If the former, 

 the stitches must be'of the exact breadth which suits 

 the drill-machine ; if the latter, of that which is 

 adapted to the scuffle and scarifier. The dung will 

 lie safe, and the frosts will pulverize the surface, a 

 main point for drilling, but not for dibbling. By 

 nieans of effecting this before the bad weather comes,
