SEPTEMBER. 



esteemecl by many of the most intelligent farmers 

 as unrivalled, when well performed. At present, it 

 is thought in those counties the mark of a bad 

 farmer, to sow broad-cast wheat on clover. 



The land having been ploughed a fortnight or 

 three weeks * 3 it is to be well rolled down with a 

 heavy roller, and then dibbled : here, as in all other 

 cases, the chief attention is to be paid to the dib- 

 blers making the holes deep enough, and to the 

 children dropping equally without scattering. It 

 s is then bush-harrowed. Six pecks of seed is 

 enough for two rows on a flag in this month* 

 But if only one row, still I would recommend as 

 much seed to be put in. And another observation 

 it is necessary to make, that if the land is known 

 to be given to the mildew, an increase of seed on 

 that account is right, whatever the soil or season ; 

 by reason of the well-known fact, that all thin 

 crops suffer more from that distemper than such as 

 are thicker. 



In regard to drilling, the various directions 

 given in tiie spring Calendars, relative to accurately 

 ploughing the lands either for one stroke of the 

 drill-machine, or for a bout of it, are equally ap- 

 plicable to drilling wheat. The operations are the 

 same, and therefore to dwell on them needless ; 

 but it should be remembered, that in ploughing 



all lays, the use of the skirn -coulter is very great,

 practiced in the field.
