I propos to aoswert he enquiries refer. - Ued to accordiug to my own experiencefand, ob- I ( .1. -r 1 seryjition. 1 Fjrst, then, as to the character ' of the soil. 'Red Clover; like other grasses, grows best: soi, but Will flourish ! better in poor . . i. i 1 . '. i 1 : on soil than most other varieties. Anv soil that tro- duces wheat well will produce clover, but it, like everything e!se in the' vegetable ki lgdo'ui, 'does' bestdotliose soils which are peculiiirly adapted iojits growth! f I . have found it to su jceed better "orij strong upland clay "soils than any ( ther. Low .'marshy or wet lands do tiot, suit it. t The proper time lor sowing the seed in this el mate is the latter part jof 'February or the e; rly pirt of March though it will do very well any time in March, and should invariably be sov n with pats or some other protecting crop. 1 aung clover, wlien it first emerges from the soil, is exceedingly tender and requires sameflijing to protect it! for a 'ew months from the effects of the Suinrrter's sufi . If it is designed for uiowing it wilrteqiuire :tushel of seed for "about eight acres of ground, bjJit if intended for pastura'gje alone, a bushel will soiv ten aeres thick euouhThe ground shduld bsj well prepared as thoroughly pulverized 'and fri5 from" clods a3 possible! J! The riajls must first he sown and either plowed, in with narrow plows or harrowed iti as may be 'thought pest -so that ihjej surface is j left comparatively smooth. . 'The eloyer seed 'should then be jsown and brushed in with a tolerably heavy brush, well "selected for t hp 'purpose, and prepa red sb that it will not drag the! seed up intojuiups or bunches. The mode ofjsowinir is somewhat various, but ihat which I j have used for many Vears. and which I esteem ithjJ best, Ii obtained from; an cssajj of ' thellato 'iiiund KufSn, jd Virginia,! who waff, perhaps. unsurpassed' itl ie -UnitediStates as a practical agriculturalist, j It is as follows : Flak-e any num ber of small paddles ru-idt? that may be desired. according t the number of sowers.
