This grass came from St. Ann and does not compare with e'tlier of 

 the two preceding species as a source of large crops of luxuriant growth. 

 It is, however, a valuable common grass. This sample appears to be 

 slightly inferior in f- eding quality to the common grass of the same 

 species from Westmoreland of which Mr. Cradwick speaks so highly. 



Miscellaneous Pasture Grasses from Westmoreland. 



With reference to the Common grass of which he sent two samples 

 Mr. Cradwick writes : 



"This is the best permanent pasture probably in the world. I have 

 a filly which gets five quarts of corn or oats a day, and the tenth share 

 of about three acn s of this pasture and is as fat as a mole ; she works 

 as a rule three or four day a week and is always in sliow condition. 

 Common around Knockalva is equal to Guinea grass if kept clean, 

 which very few are, I am sorry to say, always, of course, excepting 

 Knockalva." 



And with reference to * Corn grass.' 



" A very fine feeding for > oung brood, and out-of- condition stock ; 

 nearly as good as Spanish needle "
