An increase of several Tons of Hay per acre has been 

 thus effected on many Meadows and Upland Pastures.

 Members of the Royal Agricultural Society.

 GRASSES FOR PERMANENT PASTURE.— Saving bun 

 among the first to recommend the use of the Natural Grassi 

 tn the format ion of Permanent Pasture, the subject has occupied 

 a large share of our attention. We have carefully noted the species 

 composing the best Natural Pastures, and the results of combina- 

 tions in culture under varied cumstances of soil and situation ; 

 and, as the result of our observations, as well as from the great 

 | satisfaction our selections hare given, toe feel warranted in recom- 

 mending, in addition to the Grasses usually sown, a variety of such 

 vperies os are known, not only to yield the greatest bulk of herbage, 

 but the largest amount of milking and feeding properties, varyii 

 those species, arid the proportions of each, according to the nature 

 of the land to be laid down. From the increased demand, we are 

 enabled to charge a lower price than formerly. An excellent 

 assortment, and allowing a liberal supply of Seeds, may be had 

 at from 2-is. to 26s. per statute acre.

The discussion on Italian Rye-grass Cultiva-

 however true in itself, was not, we agree with a 

 writer in ihe Mart Lane Express, borne out by the

a portion of land
