he will be able, if the weather be open, to get in the 

 crop in February, which is of much importance. Let 

 him be assured that there is no crop which will pay 

 him better for dung than this.- 



PLOUGH FOR PEASE. 



On the same principle which governed the pre- 

 ceding observation in relation to beans, he must now 

 plough the lands intended for pease ; laying the 

 stitches of the breadth which will suit the drill- 

 machine, or for dibbling them on layers. But the 

 manure should be applied to other crops. 



PLOUGH FOR BARLEY AND OATS. 



Whatever lands are intended for these crops 

 cept such as are now under green winter ones), should 

 be ploughed, as remarked in the preceding articles, 

 in this season for the seed- earth, in order that no 

 ploughs may be wanted to stir on wet land in the 

 spring. Attention is to be paid very carefully to the 

 breadth of the stitches, that the mode of putting in 

 these crops may be duly prepared for. See the Ca- 

 lendar for March. No reasonable man, who has scon 

 the effect of this system, can value the modern im- 

 provement at less than the rent of the land. 



PLOUGH FOR MADDER. 



This is the right time to give the first stirring to 

 the land designed for madder. It requires great 

 depth of ploughing. Loams, that in common con- 

 versation are called clays, will, with a proper quan- 

 tity of dung, do for madder. The article of ma- 

 nuring is the soul of this culture ; the plant delights 

 to grow in a dunghill, so that you need not fear over- 

 doing it.
