with eight pounds of clean trefoil (ex- 

 empt from the hdfk). It comes earlier 

 than moft other gralTes, and all cattle arc 

 particularly fond of it in the fpring of 

 the year ; but towards Midfummer the 

 flalks become dry, and cattle then refufe 

 them ; therefore, in all paftures, this 

 grafs fhould be kept down, by being 

 conftantly fed. When mixed with clo- 

 ver and mowed for hay, it may be fpring- 

 fed notwithftanding, and is even the 

 better for it ,• becaufe it would otherwife 

 be ripe before the clover. When fown 

 with clover its greateft advantage is ex- 

 perienced in the fecond and third years, 

 for as the clover declines, this increafes 

 in proportion. When mixed with tre- 

 foil, it is a very good grafs upon light 

 land, defigned to continue feveral years 

 in (heep -paftures.
