SEPTEMBER. 



be more particularly attended to in the cultivation 

 of the tare ; for this pulse, like pease, never grows 

 away with freedom, till the tendrils begin to mefct, 

 and they come (as the farmers express it) to shake

 Norfolk r wherever he improves poor meadows or

 nuring, and, if wanted, grass-seeds or white clover. 

 And it is a curious fact, which I have witnessed on

 new, extremely interesting, and much deserves-

LAYING TO GRASS WITH WHEAT. 

 Next to laying down upon a clean fallow and 

 sowing the grass- seeds in August, I believe as good;
