 feven acres of turnips, going over nine acres of 

 grafs ; the benefit to the latter did not near 

 equal that of the rape, except in the deftruc- 

 tion of mofs, which was deftroyed by both 

 methods. 



CLOVER. 



Mr. Holmes has ufed this grafs thefe fix 

 years ; he began with fix acres, and has ex- 

 tended it as far as feventeen acres laft year : 

 he fows 24lb. of feed per acre. The crops as 

 good as he has feen in England ; has mown it 

 twice, but now feeds the fecond growth. He 

 has tried it on dry lime-ftone hills, which are 

 flow in coming to grafs, but anfvver well in 

 clover. For his fheep he finds it of great ufe. 

 Ewes Iamb here about the i/th of March, and 

 when turnips are done, want the clover very 

 much: alfo in keeping fat fheep for a late 

 market. Courfe of crops,
