If it be fhut up for HAY, it ought to be 

 mown as fcon as the feed-ftems are fully 

 formed ; before the flowers come out.

 firs will prove hay. Who ever expedl'ed bay 

 from oats or barley, which flood to mature th$ 

 feed? 



As a fpring food, RYE- GRASS is indifputa- 

 bly preferable to every other grafs ; and in

 property, added to its produftivcnefs, and 

 to the facility with which its feeds may be 

 collected in quantity, give it a decided pre- 

 eminence to. every other blade-grafs at pre- 

 fcnt known in thefe kingdoms, 



But rye-grafs, like other early graffes, re. 

 mains, in a great rneafure unproductive du-.

 Jammer herbage, is fequifite to be cultivated 

 with it.

 tivating perennial leys as nearly perfect as 



common
