7i the Eighth, — Lucerne is cultivated by vtvf 

 few, and thofe more for fancy than profit, as it will 

 bear no rival, but mull be kept hand- weeded, or 

 it will foon decay; nor will it fucceed even with 

 fuch care on lands of a cold or moid underftratum. 



Sainfoin is cultivated on dry, gravelly, and flone-^ 

 bralh land, when the underftratum is not of a clofe 

 compad: texture, but of a loofe open ftoney nature, 

 or chalky. It anfwers well in the broadcaft me- 

 thod. The caufe of its often failing is owing to 

 the nature of the land, rather than to the mode of 

 cultivation. 



Burnet (the Pimpernella Sylvejlris of Ray, Pim^ 

 fernella Sangujorha major of C. B. i6o, and Sangu^ 

 Jorha of Linnaeus) grows naturally in moift clay 

 meadows, in this county ; but the cattle will prefer 

 almoft all other common plants found in thofe paf- 

 turcs to it. The lefler Burnet {or Pimpernella San- 

 gujorha minor herjuta of C. B. B. and Poterium of 

 Linnaeus) delights in a gravelly dry foil, and is fre- 

 quent in healthy fheep-paftures, and eaten greedily 

 by thole animals. 



To th€ Ninth. — Turnips are generally fown as a 

 fallow crop, after the land (of any fort) is well tilled, 

 clcanfcd from weeds, and dreflcd with yard-dung, 



lime^
