May.'} SOWING OUT OF COPSES, &c, 41* 



SOWING OUT OF COPSES, FOUR OR FIVE YEARS 

 OLD, WITH CLOVER AND RYEGRASS SEEDS. 



This is now a proper feafon for lowing down 

 copfes of this age with grafs feeds. It will be 

 found the bed method to plough for this purpofe, 

 leaving the furrow in the middle of the fpace be- 

 tween the rows of copfes : Becaufe, in this way? 

 the ground may be kept more perfectly clear of 

 furface water, than by any other method of pre- 

 paration for the grafs feeds. Under this article 

 for laft month, it was noticed, that it is much 

 better to fill the ground with clover, than to al- 

 low it to be filled perhaps with much worfe kinds 

 of herbage, which might be far more fcourging 

 to the ground, as well as lefs ufeful to the owners. 

 It may be proper to obferve here, that it will 

 be dangerous to ufe the harrow for covering in 

 the grafs feeds : that work muft therefore be per- 

 formed by a rake pretty wide between the teeth.
