No. 2. 

 Report of an Experiment made with the under-mentioned 



Manures on an acre of pasture land in Stover Park, in the 



year 1849:— 



The manures, when mixed with a small quantity of fine earth, 

 were applied broadcast on March 29th, and during the rainy 

 weather which prevailed at the time. 



The land is of a fair average quality, and was formerly used as 

 tillage land, but has been in pasture for many years. 



The crops were mown on 22nd June, and the herbage pro- 

 duced by the different manures was of a superior quality. 



Stover, near Newton Abbot, Devon, 

 September 22, 1849.
