til the feeds of weeds have been feparated 

 with the utmoft care. 



But from clover seed, the feeds of docks 

 cannot eafily be feparated : they are nearly 

 of the hmt/ize and the fame weight ; neither 

 the lieve nor the fan can part them. Singular 

 caution, therefore, ought to be had in the 

 purchaling of this feed. 



If every man would be cautious in this 

 matter, the grower of that article would be 

 affiduous in weeding their feed clover from 

 this pernicious and difgraceful weed. To 

 fuffer one dock which has matured its feed to 

 be thrajhed with feed-clover is a crime which 

 ought, among farmers, to be deemed unpar- 

 donable.

 fidered as one of the worfl weeds which 

 WHEAT can be infefted with ; not more 

 from the method of its growth than from the 

 evil efFcfts of its feeds, which are allied to 

 the grains of wheat, as the feeds of the dock 

 arc to thofe of clover. They are very dif- 

 ficult to feparatc -, and when ground with 

 wheat, are hurtful to the flour.
