JULT. 



The seed, indeed, is too valuable to be put to 

 that use at present; though it multiplies s so fast, 

 that I doubt not but m a few years the hrfrses will 

 be fed with it. 



It will bear pasturing with sheep. 



It makes good butter. 



It never blows or hoves cattle. 



It will flourish upon poor light, sandy, stony, 

 shaltery, or chalky land. 



Burnet, after the first year, will weed itself, and 

 be kept clean at little or no expence. 



The cultivation of burnet is neither hazardous 

 nor expensive : if the land be prepared, as is gene- 

 rally done for a crop of turnips, there is no danger 

 of any miscarriage, and any person may be sup- 

 plied with the best seed at 6d. per pound. 



I make no doubt but that burnet might be 

 sown late in the spring with oats or barley. A 

 gentleman in my neighbourhood did so last sum- 

 mer, and it succeeded very well. I should think a 

 buck- wheat season, which is sown the last of all 

 corn, would suit it very well; but of this I have 

 no experience, and could wish to have the experi- 

 ment tried. A pea field drilled, in rows, and kept 

 clean, would make an excellent season for burnet, 

 as the pea crop would come off soon enough to 

 prepare the land with two ploughings by the mid- 

 dle of August, after which time I should not choose 

 to sow it. 



It very frequently happens, that every farmer 

 \\ho sows many acres with turnips, has several 



worth
