WHITE CLOVER. 



A very profitable article of cultivation, which has 

 of late years been particularly attended to in Suf- 

 folk and in Essex, is that of white clover alone for 

 seed. The first growth (contrary to the case with 

 red clover) is seeded. Some take a spring feeding 

 first. The returns depend, of course, on the price, 

 which varies much, but it has proved a very profi- 

 table article, yielding from 7!. to 15l. an acre. 

 Wheat succeeds well after it. 



GRASSES FOR ALTERNATE HUSBANDRY. 

 Upon impoverished worn-out lands, and others 

 ill-treated by bad management, and over-cropping 

 with white corn, there is no better system than 

 that of the alternate husbandry of corn, and grass 

 for sheep-feeding. Such lands are much recruited 

 by these means, and will after a term of years 

 surprize their occupier by the superior corn -crops, 

 which five or six, or even four years' sheep -feeding 

 will enable them to give. They should, however, 

 be got into clean order. The cour

will in one round improve them much. The ob- 

 ject for present consideration is the seeds to be 

 sown. The following may be recommended :
