The artificial manures wero sown by hand on the ] 1 th of 
April; the clover was cut on the 12th of June for the first time, 
and a second cutting was obtained August 21th, 18G7. The pro- 
duce of each plot was carefully weighed on the same day, and as 
soon as cut, when the results incorporated in the following table 
were obtained : —

Mr. Hull kindly furnished me with the following notes, which 
lie took on the field during the progress of the experiments : — 
The manures were sown on the 11th of April, and no per- 
ceptible change was produced by any one of them until the 23rd 
of April, when the clover-seeds on plot 1 and plot 9 could readil}'" 
be distinguished from those on all the other plots by their darker 
green colour and more vigorous growth. 
Plot 1 was dressed with nitrate of soda alone, and plot 9 with 
a mixture of nitrate of soda and superphosphate. Both plots had 
a darker green colour than the rest throughout the experiment. 
The nitrate of soda on plot 1 encouraged the growth of the 
rye-grass to such an extent that it quite smothered the growth of 
the clover-plant. 
Plot 2. Sulphate of Ammonia. — The rye-grass grew vigorously 
but was not so long and coarse as the rye-grass on the plot dressed 
■with nitrate of soda, while it was superior in quality in com- 
parison with the latter. The clover on plot grew fairly, but was 
weak. 
Plot 3. Mineral Super j^liosp hate. — Rye-grass good, but clover 
thin, very weak, and much blighted. 
Plot 4. Common Salt. — Rye-grass and clover fair, but short.
