96 Field Experiments on Clover-Sccds 
especially on the plots dressed witli cominon salt and with crude 
potash-salts. 
The manures wore sown towards the end of March and the 
grass mown only once on the 25th of June, when the results 
embodied in the subjoined Table were obtained : —

It will be seen that the mixture of Peruvian guano and super- 
phosphate, and next to it Peruvian guano, gave the best result. 
Bone-dust followed next in point of efficacy, and then super- 
phosphate and potash-salts. 
The fact of the unmanurcd portion of the pasture in the dry 
season of 1868 yielding a miserable crop, affords the best proof 
of the exhausted condition of the meadow land, and explains the 
fact, that notwithstanding the adverse season, all the manures 
told more or less upon the yield of the grass-crop. Further 
observation in succeeding seasons on the after-effects of the several 
applications are required before any legitimate conclusions cart 
be drawn with regard to the economy of the several dressings. 
In conclusion I have to report another series of experiments 
with the same fertilisers which were employed at Escricic, and 
Avhich were made in 18G8 on permanent pasture by Mr. J. Sidney 
Davey, of St. Agnes, Redruth. 
Experiments on Permanent Pasture at Tyru-arnhaite Farm, in the. 
Parish of St. Agnes, Redrutli, in 1868. 
The manures were sown on the 23rd of March and the grass 
cut and weighed on the 27th of June, 18G8, when the following 
results were obtained : —
