was taken for hay. On the ted Grass land, consisting of 
Staeres of Italian Rye- , RV. apre of er meadow

кн шн; owever, enables me to state that the result I 
have obtained is not maximum result, even in our cold 
climate, where it may be estimated that we have two months 
less of growing weather than in the south of land. 
“ Undou! y the system will tend to the high cultivation 
of small areas of га и of my neighbouring farme

which my reply s that. 1 м have done better if.I bag, 
half the quantity, or 60 acres instead р; 120, and had I bee:
