Soil, Shallow light loam on lime- 



ftone, at 8j-. 

 Culture. Sowed five acres in 1767 



with barley, zolb. per acre. 

 Product. Fed down the firft fpring by 

 forty meep three weeks in April, 

 after which it ftood for hay, and 

 yielded a large cart load per acre ; 

 very good, and eat freely by the 

 cattle. 

 From thefe trials it appears clearly, that 

 burnet will certainly abide the winter's froft,

 the fpring, that cows will feed on it, and 

 that the milk is fine. 



That horfes feed on it botb green and in 

 Jiay. 



Thefe conclufions are relative to certain 

 foils, for on others it feems to appear that 

 no cattle will touch it : This muft arife ei- 

 ther from a diverfity of foil, or fome unre- 

 lated circumftances. This point, of cattle 

 not feeding on burnet, is not fo clear as I
