The weight of nutritive matter afforded by the produce of the T. 

 macrorhizum, exceeding that of the T.pnitense, in proportion, 

 nearly as 7 to 15 - - - - T*- - - 2297 



The proportional value of the grass of T. protense 

 to that of T. macrorhizum, is 10 to 11. 



The weight of nutritive matter afforded by the T. macrorhizum, 

 exceeding that of the Medicago satira, in proportion nearly as 

 13 to 33 2552 



The proportional value of the grass is as 11 to 6. 



The weight of nutritive matter which is afforded by the produce of 

 the 2". macrorhizum, exceeding that of the ffedysarum onobrychis 

 in proportion nearly as 5 to 67 - - - - - - 3897 



The proportional value of the grass, like that of 

 the T. pratense, is as 11 to 10. 



The produce of each of the above mentioned 

 species, was taken from a similar soil, and in the same 

 situation the conclusions must therefore be considered 

 positive, with respect to such soils only. It is evident 

 that more than twice the quantity of nutritive matter 

 is afforded by the produce of one acre of the T. ma- 

 crorhizum, than from the produce of an equal space 

 covered by the T. prat erne. Its short duration in the 

 soil (for if sown early in the autumn, on a rich light 

 soil, it is only an annual plant) it nders it fit only for 

 green-food or hay; this in some measure lessens its 

 value, when compared with the T. pratense. It pos- 

 sesses the essential property of affording abundance of 

 good seed; and if the ground be kept clear of weeds, 

 It sows itself, vegetates, and grows rapidly, without 

 covering-in, or any operation whatever. For four
