AND NORTH-CAROIilNA GAZETTE; Oar lire the plan of fair, dUf btful Peace, Uawarp'dby party rage, to lTClik brother." FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 1818 Vol. XIX. No. 978 FOR THE REGISTER. GRASSES continued. "Let us cnU'vAtetheground.thatthepoor, as well as the rich, may be filled ; and happi ness and peace be established throughout our .-. borders." He rds Grass. This grass is best a dapted to well reclaimed meadow Ifind vet it succeeds well on all land that is low, flat and rather wet ; it mats and consolidates the surface, so as to render it firm and dry, which was before wet and miry It will also grow well on level stiff high land. It make excellent hay, and i better for this purpose than fur jrrazi nr; ; y et al 1 stocks are extremely fond of it and it a!", rds excellent late and early pas ture. Horses and cattle prefer henls grass hay to that made either of clover or Timothy. It is more succulent tUa n Timothy, theugh not so coarse. The same bulk of herds grass hay, will weiuh one third more than the same bulk of Timothy hay. Four tons is a common (crop from one acre. As it yields no second crop of hay in the same season, it may airer it is cut ue J severely-grazed until Christmas." There is no other artificial low land grass that continues longer in the soil, I or is more tenacious of its hold than i this ; it may be sowed in the fall i (v. hich is the best season) either upon wheat immediately sown, or amonjr 1 corn, the ground being first put in fine finn. in uuiii cases, it is netter to cover it as slightly as possible or in both it may be left uncovered to the guardianship of the weather with f uc cess. Sown mixed with Timothy, a better crop may be expected the "first veari bat it will gradually eat out the Timothy ; and it has been good and thick for eight years after every stalk of the Timothy has disappeared. In the New England states, farmers more commonly mix red clover with herds gists.- when they stock land. It makes tle crop stand up better and cattle seem to like the mixture better The proportions commonly are six poutuis ot clover and two quarts of herds grass. Herds grass makes both good seed and hay at the same cutting, so that an abu ndance of the former can be saved with little ex pei'se. Hence the quantity sown on an acre, is not important, because grass seed cannot be sown too thick. Could it be cleaned of the chatf, a peck would amply suffice for an acre, but as this is difficult, a bushel would no I te too much. If the seed is ho w -ever cleaned of the chaff, from six to tight quarts will be sufficient for an acre from four to six will do well in a good soil. The seed of this grass is cheap and easily produced. Every farmer can raise his own, by letting a piece of it get - ripe and reaping off the tops as directed in the case of tall ineaclow oat grass. Herds grass claims the particular attention of all farmers who have low. fiat or moist. lands : there is no other that would prove of so much value o n such land, and it is one that should be cultivated by all those who aim at suc cess in agricultural pursuits. Bed Tup. The red top j. a varietv f herds grass and they are in many places called the same. Red top, like herds grasses peculiarly calculated for low, net, swamp land it will grow sod the first year and will give stabi lity or firmness to the most miry soil, as it grows so "thick as completely to ! otnri the- soil. Hence it is best adapt I d to such land as is not fit for the I plough, and on such it will be found a j rich and durable grass. It is sown &, : managed like herds grass. t ht Allowing remarks will close our i observations on sri asses. c;... 1 1 1 . . . 11 si. jlmiiiu .snow im ndr ho nil down to grass, until it be put in fine tilth and be well cleaned of weeds bv a proper course of crops. Sucli crop's should be adopted r this I require thesoil to he constantlv stirred, 1 . J "o uie piougu : unless this rule be attended to, grass fields will , bscome foul and overrun with weeds, before the grass can become well set or root.H Tf :a .i:n;.,..i .keep an o,d weedy farm Ion-in .mis. and the plonirh miut h . 1 t C7 - - uncial U9CU than a clean farm requires. If land is Well r Pftfiori i, .i 1 1 - uj auopung a proper I (course of trnns lnMl,ft ;J c eeds and other pests and tori dregs- tfijrs of manure be applied totherns, it will flourish for many years if it be of the permanent kind, and yield fine hay and pasture. Second. Land should not be kept too long in crass. No grounds shmd continue in grass until the become L l t. i -. f MA-iA -..,1 i nam, uniinii, anu cnnsuimaicn, aim th e roots become old and matted : for pood crops of grass can be no longer obtained, than while the soil continues free and open, and the roots remain unimpaired. AYhen the old sod is broken tip. time, as well as good husbandry with proper courses of crops, must be afford ed. No kind of small or winter grain should be sown, the first season of breaking up old grass grounds. The slirring and culture of that and the enuing year, are -necessary to ensure the complete destruction of weeds and other unprofitable vegetation. Third. The practice of cutting arti ficial grasses in the growing season for stock, instead of being grazed, is attended with many advantages. One acre of grass cut green ami given to working beasts and cattle, will go as far as three acres grazed : because in the former case the grass is less in-j jured when cut, than when torn or J jajrged witii the teeth of the cattle and j none is wasted by be in 2: trodden down. They are likewise in the former case obi iged to feci! wi thou f maki rg selec - j tion, and in consequent the whole 1 1 1 food is consumed. It is rrmarked by ! i I the most celebrated writers on ari- culture, that experience only caii teach ! or warrant the belie i , o? h o w few a c res of jrround, under the culture of cial grasses when cut and dail v ;iven to working horses and cattle, will suf fice to their nourishment. Fourth. Not only fled Clovrr, but every species of hav, should be" wel I j salted. All kind of stock will prefer j i n fcrior food tJjus treated, to the li ne-t hay in its raw state : for the sal t as i similating with the juices of the hav, I ! prevents too great a fermentation, and i . !iuuui. r at iiir, the salting of hay effectually secures it from becoming overheated or mil dewed in stacks : so that the hav may be put together, without the least dan- a m a4a eti tmni M ' . .1 1. g r of firing, in a much reener state than would otherwise b af. But oversaltiog diiiiiniHrs the nu triment. More than a perk to a ton is i nj ti ri ou s. Half th at q ?an it v is o f ten sufficient.
