ON THE MANAGEMENT OF SHEEP. To the Editor of the Agricultural! Magazine. SiR, Norfolk, Aug. 4, 1804. Y Some mistake of my bookseller, your Number 59, was not received till yesterday, or 1 would sooner have noticed the remarks which“ A Novice" is pleased to address to my fellow countrymen,“ Agricola Norfolciensis," and me. With respect to the necessary quantity of Seed, I car give him no certain information, as it must depend upon the quality and state of the land, and also the Season at which the Sowing takes place. In autumn, less for the early Ssowing, aud more ſor the late, as in this it is probable that more Seed may perish in the ground, and be destroyed by vermin, than in that of the early Sowing. Inthe spring Sowing, this rule will of course be reversed, as then the Seed 5own early will be most Hable to injury and destruction. Though, as I Say, 1 can give him vo information as to the exact quantity of Seed which ought to be Sown, 1 can from experience Speak to this general rule, that land of good quality and iD good condition, will require a less portion of Seed, than that wbich is lighter and weaker, the plants on the former will branch out and fill up- the intervals, and the crop will be of better quality and more abundant than it would have been, had the plants been tos fbick; but on the latter, the plants will branch but little, per- haps uot at all, and consequently it is necesSary to put in& Jarger portion of Seed, to ensure a Suficient number of Stems. to cover the land,

As to rotation of crops, I must advise him to make use of his own experienze, but shall nevertheless be happy to give him what information I can. The land which 1 cultivate (and which, from bis description, 5eems to be pretty Similar to his own) is a light mixed Soil, and the rotation which I prefer 35, turnips, barley, layer mowed or fed, layer fed, pease, wheat. N t bat I invariably adbere to this course, but act 25 from ex s ing eircumstances 1 think fit, but 1 like it for these reason;. The quantity of layer enables me to keep a Iarge stock of S"eep, the wheat after pease is better than that
