Mr. Living/ion's Experiments on Lucerne, ^x 



lofs, except that the expence of gypfum fhould be deduced 

 from the account, as it produced a very noble crop of white 

 clover, on ground on which I fhould otherwife have had little 

 pallure. 



It is however to be remarked, that the red clover feed fown 

 over the wheat at the fame time, in the manner mentioned 

 in the experiment, fucceeded no better than the lucerne ; this 

 mull be attributed in part to the feafon — and the experiment 

 of lucerne upon wheat fhould again be tried, but only on a 

 fmall fcale, as I am inclined upon the whole to think it will 

 feldom fucceed. 



The lucerne fown with the oats, as I mentioned, was fo 

 choaked by it as to promife nothing ; that fown with buck- 

 wheat very little for the fame reafon, and both were ploughed 

 up. The remaining experiments are thofe in which the lucerne 

 was put in with barley and with turnips. The firit of thefe I 

 mufl divide into two clalfes — ift. That fown on light-loam — 

 2d, That fown on clay. 



Produ^and expence^per acre^ of two acres of lucerne, fown with 



barley and clover, Aprily 1 793.
