170 AGRICULTURAL SURVEY

grass; I catinot say how the seeds are treated in thatcountry; but can say the less they are eat, the earlier they will be upon all sorts of soil that they are sowed upon. To have seeds in the forwardest perfection, they should not be eat at all after the harvest crop is taken, except a little time after harvest, if the ground be dry; and as soon as wet comes, or winter approaches, should be entirely cleared of stock for the winter season. If it is convenient to the occupjer of that landto lay a part of dung upon the seeds, while laying dormant, it would be of infinite use, and likewise for- ward the seeds in the spring.—_It_ is to be considered, that in the North of Scotland, they are much colder than we are in Nottinghamshire; but in this county I have tried the above-mentioned upon very cold woodland soil, and fre- quently have had the succession of seeds immediately to follow the winter-keeping. I have reason to think the backwarder the land, the less the seeds should be eat; and upon very late land, I think should not be eat at all till in the spring pasturage.
