which the crop is in the spring to he drilled cr 

 dibbled. If the former, the stitches must be of 

 the exact breadth which suits the drill machine ; if 

 the latter, of that which is adapted to the scuffle 

 and scarifier. The dung will lie safe, and the frosts 

 will pulverize the surface, a main point for drill- 

 ing, but not for dibbling. By means of effect- 

 ing this before the bad weather comes, he will be 

 able, if the weather be open, to get in the crop in 

 February, which is of much importance. Let him 

 be assured that there is no crop which will pay him 

 better for dung than this. 



PLOUGH FOR PEASE. 



On the same principle which governed the pre- 

 ceding observation in relation to beans, he must 

 now plough the lands intended for pease; laying the 

 stitches of the breadth which will suit the drill- 

 machine, or for dibbling them on layers. But the 

 manure should be applied to other crops. 



PLOUGH FOR BARLEY AND OATS. 

 Whatever lands are intended for these crops (ex- 

 cept such as are now under green winter ones), 

 should be ploughed, as remarked in the preceding 

 articles, in this season for the seed-earth, in order 

 that no ploughs may be wanted to stir on wet land 

 in the spring. Attention is to be paid very care- 

 fully to the breadth of the stitches, that the mode 

 of putting in these crops may be duly prepared for.
