 made from trefoil only is a pretty hay, but not

 tity of land, by fowing rye-grafs amongft it 

 than without ; for, as before obferved, trefoil, 

 like the vine and pea, wants fupport from fome 

 ftronger fubftance it may cling to. For this 

 reafon it will alfo profper well with red-clover, 

 around which its tendrils will twine like wood- 

 bines in a thorn hedge. I alfo do believe 

 that the crop of clover will be very little lefs 

 in quantity or weight from the trefoil growing 

 amongft it. 



The after-grafs of trefoil is worth very little ; 

 for which reafon fome people recommend it 

 to be followed by wheat. But I can afTert 

 from continued experience, that land intended 

 for wheat cannot poflibly be too much fmo- 

 thered with crops of every fort. 



White clover is thought to be an herb that 

 fheep are very fond of: I believe they may ; 

 but I do not efteem it much* It is a tardy 

 plant, and yields but a fmall quantity of hay

 it is of a fattening nature (which may partly
