This fact, in itself, will not only suggest the immense amount of labor applied, but also the quality and condition of 3,000 acres of land that can be surfaced to the scythe in this manner.
The _seeds_ or grasses sown by Mr.Jonas for pasturage and hay are chiefly white and red clover and trefoil.

His rule of seeding is the following:-- Wheat, from 8 to 10 pecks per acre Barley, from 12 to 14 " " " Oats, from 18 to 22 " " " Winter Beans, 8 " " " Red Clover, 20 lbs " " White Clover, 16 lbs " " Trefoil, 30 to 35 lbs.

" " This, in New England, would be called very heavy seeding, especially in regard to oats and the grasses.

I believe that twelve pecks of oats to the acre, rather exceed our average rule.

Good clover seed should weigh two pounds to the quart, and eight quarts, or sixteen pounds, are the usual seeding with us.
As labor of horse and man must be economised to the best advantage on such an estate, it may be interesting to know the expense of the principal operations.
