OF NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. OF

Rolling Seeds—is found a great improvement on light

land, as I have myself experienced, using a stone roller. Sowing Barley under Furrow—was tried last year by Mr.

Jones of Arnold, who had a much better crop from it than when sowed at top; and found it stand the dry weather at least a fortnight longer. He ploughs his land as soon as possible after the turnips are off, beginning at one end of the field whilst the sheep are at the other. He thinks about the fifteenth of April the best time to sow his barley, which he does broad-cast, then ploughs it in. If he wishes to lay down with seeds, he then sows his seeds, and harrows. If he does not want seeds, he never harrows. Mr. Green of Bankwood, has tried the same experiment with the hike success. For the kind of stock and manures, vide the general articles.

Potatoes are a good deal grown in the villages near Nottingham,(seldom above an acre together) for that market and home use.

Winter Tares—have been lately introduced. They are sown in September or October, November being rather too late, two strikes to the acre; and are an excellent food, cut green, for horses or other cattle.

PARTICULAR ARTICLES IN THIS DISTRICT,

W cld—or dyers weed, the reseda lutcola of Linnzus, used for dying yellow, is grown a good deal about Scrooby, Ranskill, and Torworth; but the quantity varies much, according to the demand. It is sown with the barley and clover, half a peck to the acre; is pulled up from amongst the clover the next year, when the latter is coming in blossom, tied in bundles and dried. A good crop is half a ton an acre, a tolerable one six hundred weight. The price varies exceedingly, sometimes rising to 3s. a stone of fourteen pounds, or 241. a ton; often 2s. 6d. and sometimes falling as low as$d. a stone, or 5]. 6s. 8d. a ton.
