 ,was reqiufite for the barley completely 

 covered the feed, and the crops of fainfoiu 

 have ever fince been good, 'viz. a tun per 

 acre. The clovers have been but little ad- 

 dition to the hay crop, but have afforded 

 a plentiful and fweet feed for fheep, both 

 before and after mowing. 



In ikf^^yandy?^;?^ 1765, and 1766, 13 acres 

 of the fame kind of land well pulverized and 

 folded, were fown broadcaft with rib grafs 

 and trefoil mixed, 1 2 Ih. per acre : The 

 feed grew well, and produced ever fmce a 

 middling crop, 'vi'z. half a tun per acre. 



In April and May 1766, and 1767, 12 

 acres were fown with burnet feed, 12 lb, 

 per acre, on land well prepared, foil and 

 fituation the fame as above, the feed fown 

 by hand and without corn. The firft year's 

 crops were good, njiz, a tun ^^r acre; the 

 next year better, but the third much infe- 

 rior, and greatly refembling the wild un- 

 cultivated fort, with which fome places in 

 this country abound. The produce of feed 

 is very great, it makes a coarfe hay, but 

 which however cattle vv^ill eat : Cows and 

 horfes in general eat it green very readily, 

 fome horfes diflike it at firft ■ I imagine it 

 might be fown with advantage along with 

 barley, mowed a year or two, and then the 

 land ploughed up for wheat, as is pradifed 

 with clover : three acres yielded 14 bufhels 

 of burnet feed in 1767, one bufliel of which 

 feed weighed 2^ lb.
