this vegetable, unlefs in the inftance of ewes and 
lambs.—As in the fr? volume of theSociety’s Tranf- 
actions it is mentioned, that although the flefh of its 
bulb had been confidered as firm and nutritive, its 
juices were not, however, with the ewe, thought to 
be fufficiently produétive of milk, and that the lamb 
in confequence fuftained injury;—and as before the 
publication of their /econd, an account had been 
given in of a very reconcileable mode having been 
difcovered, in fuffering the lambs to run out, through 
hurdles properly made, to feed on the herbage of the 
field at large, and that thereby they at leaft kept 
pace with their dams;—it may now be proper to 
adduce, that fince that time we have had frequent 
inftances of the lambs having, when fo fed, grown 
fat, and even fit for the butcher. What further has 
been afcertained of the properties of the plant, is 
here given in detail; and, unlefs fomething better 
may be found, it is hoped it may in its turn, 
where breeding flocks are kept, and particularly on 
upland farms and of congenial foil, be univerfally 
adopted, 
That the plant will fucceed in all fituations alike, 
even where foil and clime, feparately or conjunttively 
confidered, may be thought apparently fimilar, the 
writer has had too much experience to affert, That 
all foils have certain local invifible peculiarities, 
every Obferving experienced farmer is well apprifed 
of;
