SEPTEMBER. 



a system as can be pursued is, to sow the seeds 

 with wheat very early in September, provided the 

 weather be favourable for patting in the wheat. I 

 have had very good success in this method. The 

 land must be cither a fallow, or sown early with 

 winter tares, and these mown for soiling, after 

 which there is plenty of time through the heat of 

 the summer for fallowing the land. The seeds are 

 detailed in the Calendars for April and August. 



FAILURE OF NEW LAYS. 



If the recommendations given in this work be 

 closely attended to, there is little reason to appre- 

 hend this; however, as it is possible, from ex- 

 tremely unfavourable seasons, something should be 

 said on it. Such a failure can scarcely happen to 

 more than one or two of the seeds; in this, or in- 

 deed in any case of failure, fresh seed should be 

 sown in a moist time in the spring, and if a flock of 

 sheep can be driven over the land, it will be a good 

 way to cover them ; if not, it should take its chance, 

 for a roller will not so well effect it, and a harrow; 

 cannot enter without mischief. Jf a very large^ 

 fold (five or six yards to a sheep) be run over the 

 field once in a place, and the seeds sown before 

 the sheep enter, success is almost certain. At least 

 I have found the benefit of thus thickening new- 

 lays in seasons not peculiarly favourable. 



Should, however, a total failure, from any un- 

 foreseen cause, take place, the better conduct will 

 be, in fields that were sown in the spring, to clear
