PLANTING. 



They should be set in every other furrow, which 

 will make them come up in rows at 18 inches asun- 

 der. I plant in the same way when a stubble is 

 dunged for the crop, or previous tillage given. I 

 have had great crops by ridging the land in bout 

 ridges of 26 to 30 inches, dunging the furrows, 

 laying the sets on the dung, and reversing the 

 ridge by a bout of the plough. All these ways 

 will give good crops ; and probably the II ford me- 

 thod of dibbling in the sets may be as good, or 

 better than any other, but it is much more ex- 

 pensive. 



SEED. 



It takes from 25 to 30 bushels, according to the 

 size of the sets, to plant an acre promiscuously 

 dibbled at ten inches, and from eight to ten to 

 plant every other furrow, at one foot from set to 

 set. 



CARROTS. 



If the carrot-seed was sown very -early (earlier 

 than they ought to have been) the crop will be 

 ready for the first hand-hoeing by the end of this 

 month. The rule is, to give it as soon as the 

 young carrots can be distinguished from the sur- 

 rounding weeds, and it should never be done in wet 

 weather. The men must us6 four-inch hoes.
