 Excefs of weight in favour of the common barley, 42 pounds. 



A few particularities attended the growth of the

 and had a much broader blade, than the common 

 barley; after that time the difference gradually

2. The Siberian was in all its ftages a fortnight 

 forwarder than the common barley. It was mowed 

 and houfed accordingly.

 five to nine grains in length; whereas the ears of 

 the common barley were from nine to thirteen.
