SEED OATS. 



- 



Mr. Walker, near Belvoir Castle, Lincolnshire, 

 sows eight bushels of oats per acre, and finds the 

 crop much better, and the sample more equal thar* 

 with less seed : the oats are less tatty, no tillers to 

 give different degrees of ripeness, and the crop 

 ready to cut four or five days sooner than with, 

 thinner sowing. Mr. Ducket is of the same opi- 

 nion, and holds no idea cheaper than that of re- 

 commending the drill husbandry as saving seed : he 

 drills five bushels of oats per acre*
