 cattle. The curonilla raria is a common plant 

 here, and of sucli luxuriance, that it is hardly to be 

 destroyed. Th<-' fic<(i/sarum coronarium does well 

 here." From this hint (which I extract from my 

 own Travels), I introduced the culture of the me- 

 lilot in my experiment-ground, and found it an 

 object much deserving attention. 



WELD. 



In Norfolk this plant is sown with barley, in 

 April, from one quarter to half a peck per acre of 

 seed, in the manner of clover, and often with clo- 

 ver at the same time, which is fed or mown, after 

 the weld is palled in the following year. This 

 being a product sold to manufacturers, the price is 

 hot fixed in any manner very satisfactory to the 

 farmer, and therefore I merely name it, that the 

 feader may have it in his mind, for trial, should he 

 be so disposed. In other parts of the kingdom it 

 is sown with turnips, which are fed off in the 

 spring, and the weld left for a crop.

Very early in this month, and in some seasons, 

 m March, the young clovers should be carefully 

 fexamined, for if the land has had this crop too 

 often repeated, it is very apt to be what the far- 

 mer's call sick of it. A full plant in autumn often 

 dies away in winter and spring, so that by this 

 month, the farmer, perhaps, is in doubt whether 

 he shall let it stand, or plough it up. In this case, 

 it is highly advisable to dibble into all the vacant
