Broad -cast pease are to be utterly rejected in 

 every case. The only question that can arise in 

 their culture, is between drilling and dibbling. If 

 the former is determined on, the land should have 

 been ploughed late in autumn, with Ducket's skim- 

 cotilter, into lands adapted to the drill machine 

 and scarifiers. The surface being then worked 

 shallow, in this month drilling should directly fol* 

 low. If dibbling is determined on, the land should 

 not be ploughed till the time of planting, an,d a 

 heavy roller follow the plough. On lighter soils, if 

 the frost has worked the surface after ploughing, 

 the ground will be in too friable a state, the holes 

 will moulder in, and the seed will be laid loo shal- 

 low. Dibbling pease on a layer cannot be too 

 much commended. It is an excellent practice. 



There is a remarkable circumstance observed by 

 that excellent husbandman, Mr. Overman, of Nor- 

 folk, relative to.peaee, which should be in the mind 

 of every farmer fond of a pea crop. It is, that 

 they do not succeed well, if sown oftener than 

 once in 10 or 11 years ; and I have heard it more 

 generally observed by others, that pease should not 

 4ae sown too often.
