It was formerly in great repute in England, from 

 vrhence it found its way to America, where, I am told, 

 it is confidered as one of the moft valuable grafles in

 ing horfes it makes excellent food, but I find it is not 

 over favourable to the dairy.

EXCEPT red and white clover, I cannot find, that 

 any artificial grafles have been attempted in this 

 County. White clover is fometimes fown feparate, but 

 moft commonly mixed with red clover j but very little 

 of either is raifed in the county, by way of artificial 

 grafles ; the former foon covers the furfac* without 

 being at the trouble of fowing, and the latter we 

 commonly find in patches, in dry, wholefome foils, 

 and fometimes mixed with the perennial red clover, or 

 cow-grafs, and frequently accompanied with the com- 

 mon trefoil ; fo that there are four fpecies of clo- 

 ver, generally ranked as artificial grafles, frequently 

 found growing fpontaneoufly together, perhaps within 

 the compafs of one fquare yard ; nor is it uncommon to 

 find more kinds of clover within the fame fpace. 



Mr. William Rofs, of Strabane, defervedly merits 

 great applanfe, for his flcilful management of red and 

 white clovers on a deep bog, which had been cut out.
