rough cock's-foot. Timothy is always to be had 

 from America, and Yorkshire-white is in common 

 sale. But for the farmer's own use, it is not so 

 necessary to be so very nice, in which case, broad- 

 cast crops may be trusted to, for a mixture is no 

 formidable circumstance. I have had the cock's- 

 foot and the tall oat-grass gathered at 4s. a bushel, 

 in large quantities; and the crested dog's-tail at 

 3s. a pound, and have thus laid down many scores 

 of acres. At these prices I have found them 

 cheaper than when raised in drills with great atten- 

 tion.

" The Melilotus alba Sibyrica, from Mons. 

 Thouin, at the King's Garden, at Paris, makes, in 

 the garden of Mons. Faujas de St. Fond, a most 

 superb figure. Nobody can view its prodigious lux- 

 uriance, without commending the thought of culti- 

 vating it for cattle. The coronilla varia is a common 

 plant here, and of such luxuriance, that it is hardly 

 to be destroyed. The hedysarum corouarium does

 my own Travels), I introduced the culture of the 

 inelilot in my experiment-ground, and found it an 

 object much deserving attention.
