 but not equal to the other. 



Lucerne he alfo tried. In 1765, hq 

 fowed a piece in equally diftant drills, fix 

 inches afunder, on a {hallow limeftone ; he 

 mowed it three times that year, the growths 

 high, but not thick. In 1766, he alfo cut 

 it three times; and again the fame in 1767, 

 when he manured it, half with afhes and 

 half With dung, but it proved much the 

 beft after the afhes : It has fince continued 

 good, but upon the whole, not comparable 

 to fainfoine, nor equal to clover. 



Burnet he fowed in 1767, with five acres 

 of barley, 20 lb, of feed fer acre. The barley 

 yielded four quarters fer acre. The burnet 

 Was fed down by 40 Iheep, for more than 

 three weeks in ^^r//laft, after which it flood 

 for hay ; and yielded a large cart load per 

 acre ; the hay very good, and eat freely by 

 the cattle. I viewed the field, and had no 

 doubt of its proving a very profitable crop \ 

 and that it will be a mofl excellent pafturage 

 for fheep in the fpring. 



Mr. t>alton\ method of laying land down 

 to grafs is (contrary to common manage-^ 

 ment) to lay the ground quite fmooth, and 

 ^hen fow upon every acre, 

 6 bufhels of hay feeds. 

 12 lb. of rib grafs. 

 ^ lb. white clover. 

 5 lb. burnet,
