?s the other Sort : but if the Seafon 

 proves wet, it is apt to run much to 

 Straw ; and the Grain is generally 

 lighter than the other ; fo the only 

 Ufe of this Sort is to low upon fuch 

 Lands, where the Autumnal Crop 

 may have mifcarried. 



The general Ufe of Rye is fcr 

 Bread, ekher aione, or mixed with 

 Wheat ; but (as was before observ- 

 ed) it is only fit for fuch Perfons 

 who have a ! ways been ufed to rhis 

 Food, few other Per ions caring to 

 cat of it : nor have I ever heard of 

 its having been exported; fo can ne- 

 ver be worth cultivating in gene- 

 ral ; tho I have been informed it 

 will yield aiirong Spirit, whic v, - 

 haps may occaiion its being more 

 cultivated, fince the pernicious 

 Ule of Spirituous Liquors is now 

 tolerated. 



Rye is alfo fown in Autumn to 

 afford green £eed for Ewes and 

 Lambs in the Spring, before there is 

 plenty of Grafs : when this is in- 

 tended, the Rye mould be fown 

 early in Autumn, that it may have 

 Strength to furniih early Feed : the 

 great Ufe of this is, to fuppiy the 

 want of Turneps, in thole Places 

 where they have faikd ; as aifo af- 

 ter the Turneps are over, and before 

 the Grafs is grown enough, to fup- 

 piy green Feed fcr the Ewes : fo 

 that in thofe Seafcns, when theTur- 

 r.f ps in general fail, it is very good 

 Hufbandry to fow the Land with 

 j ye, efpecially where there are 

 blocks of Sheep, which cannot be 

 well fuppcrted, where green Feed is 

 wanting early in the v pr.ng : there- 

 fore thofe Farmers, who have large 

 live S ocks, mould have feveral Ivie- 

 thecs f fupplying themfelves with 

 fu r cier.t Feed, left fome mould fail j 

 for as Turneps are a very precari- 

 o s Crop % fome Land mould be 

 ibwi. with 'Cole- feed,which will fup-

ply the Want of Turneps in Win- 

 ter : and if fome of the Ground, 

 which was fown late with Turneps, 

 which had failed, was fown in Au- 

 tumn with Rye, that would be pro- 

 per to fuppiy the want of Cole-feed 

 afterward. 



SECURIDACA, Hatchet- vetch.

 out of nvhofe Empahmr.nt rifts the 

 Painful, uubicb afterword becomes an 

 upright, plain, articulated Pod, con- 

 taining in carh Joint a rhomboid 

 . Seed, having a A otch on the inner 

 Side. 



We have but one Species of this 

 Plant is Mi/gland ; viz. 



Securidaca lutea major. C. B, 

 P. The greater yellow Hatchet- 

 vetch. 



This Plant grows among the 

 Corn in Spain, Italy, and other warm 

 Countries ; but in England it is pre- 

 ferv'd in Botanic Gardens, for the 

 fake of Variety : this may be pro- 

 pagated Jay fowing the Seeds in 

 Borders of frefli light Earth in the 

 Spring, in the Places where they are 

 to abide ; for they feldom fucceed 

 well, if they are tranfplanted : they 

 mould be allowed at h aft two Feet 

 Dillance, becaufe their Branches 

 trail upon the Ground. Jn June 

 thefe Plants will flower, and in Au- 

 gufl .their Seeds will ripen, when 

 they mould be gathered, and pre- 

 ferved for Ufe. A few of thefe 

 Plants may be admitted into every 

 good Garden for Variety ; tho* 

 there is no great Beauty in their 

 Flowers.
