all feeds may fprout : you will probably 

 have a full crop of them j then turn them in 

 by a frcfli earth, and proceed with your til- 

 lage through the months of 'June and 'July* 

 I Ihall not decide between the advocates 

 for a fpring or an autumnal fowing of 



grafs feeds but in the prefent cafe, the 



autumnal one is much to be preferred, not 

 becaufe it is beft, but becaufe the work 

 will be done within the year of improve- 

 ment. The land mufl be very fine and 

 perfeSlly level by the firft week in Augujl^ 

 then let the grafs feeds be fown, and the 

 land harrowed and rolled. 



As to the feeds, you cannot have your 

 choice, for thofe which have been fepa- 

 rated by hand are undoubtedly to be pre- 

 ferred, but they are not yet to be had in 

 fufficient quantities. By all means reje6l 



the chance medley of hay-lofts and I 



would alfo advife you to rejedl ray-grafs. 

 White clover is cheap and excellent 

 burnet is to be recommended for a mix- 

 ture alfo the narrow-leaved plantaine, 



called in the north, rib grafs. I fliould 

 think \^lb. of white clover, ic//^. of burnet, 

 and I olb, of rib grafs j a good portion for 

 an acre of land, and the price would not 



exceed
