MAY. 



pletely turn clown and bury whatever remnants of a 

 great crop there may be, which becoming dry and 

 fuzzy, are apt to impede the common plough, and 

 stick out between the furrows : in this situation it 

 does not rot, is unsightly, and injurious to the 

 work of any implement that follows, which should 

 be the scufHer and harrows. A little attention 

 thus given, will save much trouble and expence 

 afterwards. There are many operations on a farm, 

 .which can be effectively done only by means of 

 that coulter: a farmer should, at all events, possess 

 it ; on many occasions, he will not have a more 



useful implement on his farm.

MOW LUCERN. 



. 



If the lucern was well manured, there will be 

 a cutting, as already observed, towards the end of 

 this month ; however, this will necessarily depend 

 on the season ; if there are late frosts it will be 

 much impeded, and this woik not take place till 

 June. Whenever it is fit to cut, the attentive 

 liusbandman should order his men always to 

 mow longitudinally of the rows if drilled, or of 

 the field if broad-cast. Left to themselves, it is 

 twenty to one but they cut out a square, and en- 

 large it in such a manner, that however he might 

 -wish to give a scarifying, he will be precluded till 

 the young growth is too forward, and will be da- 

 maged. 



FOGGING.
