160 Kaimrig Experiments. 



APPENDIX III. 



Inner Kaimeig Experiment. — The Inner Kaimrig 

 field of 25 acres of very poor soil at an elevation of about 

 750 feet has afforded one of the most useful and instruc- 

 tive lessons in grass growing on the Clifton Park 

 System. Full particulars of the cropping of this field 

 and its successful results are given on page 29 et seq., to 

 which the reader is referred. 



Outer Kaimrig Experiment. — The experiment with 

 the Outer Kaimrig field began in 1890, and the par- 



Note. — It may be remarked here that there are several species of grasses 

 and other deep rooting forage plants that are well suited for mixtures laid 

 down on my system, but that are not generally used by me, and corres- 

 pondents have asked me why I do not use them. Tlie species I refer to 

 are especially Meadow Foxtail, Meadow Fescue, and Timothy grasses, 

 Lucerne, and Sainfoin. On soils that are suitable for them these are 

 most valuable, but on light dry Cheviot hill land the three grasses named 

 suffer from drought, while the Lucerne and Sainfoin, so valuable on the 

 chalk soils of England, do not succeed with me.
