 days after ; for barley, the month of April ; peas and vetches, 

 the latter end of February and March, as the feafon may be. 



tEbirtJ. The expcnce of dibbling, in our county, is from 

 8s. 6d. to 10s. per acre, for wheat and barley ; and 7s. 6d. to

 which have the lower end of a conical form, for making the 

 holes.
