The proportional value which the grass of the 

 latter-math bears to that, at the time the seed is ripe, 

 is nearly as 9 to 1 3. 



The smallness of the produce of this grass ren- 

 ders it improper for the purpose of hay; but its early 

 growth, and the superior quantity of nutritive matter 

 which the latter-math affords, compared with the 

 quantity afforded by the grass at the time of flowering, 

 causes it to rank high as a pasture grass, on such soils 

 as are well fitted for its growth ; such are peat-bogs, 

 and lands that are deep arid moist.
