Experiments on Clovers. 
These experiments on the duration of the life of clovers have 
been continued in both the Stackyard and Warren fields. The 
white clovers (English and Dutch) from the previous set of 
experiments * have been allowed to remain ; but the other 
clovers having practically disappeared were re-sown in 1886. 
Specimen plots of different varieties of grasses are also grown 
as before in both fields, these plots having been entirely re-sown 
in 1886 with pure seeds. 
Experiments with Permanent Pastures. 
In Great Hill Bottom Field 4^ acres have been set apart 
for experiments in connection with the laying down of per- 
manent pasture. Three plots of an acre each have been laid 
down with the same seeds — foxtail, cocksfoot, meadow fescue, 
tall fescue, timothy, rough-stalked meadow grass, smooth- 
stalked meadow grass, white clover, alsike, and cow-grass, in 
different quantities, so that on plot 1a, 11,577,000 germinating 
seeds, costing IZ. Is. bhd. per acre, have been sown ; on plot 2 A, 
15,959,000 germinating seeds, costing IZ. lOs. Id. per acre, have 
been sown; and on plot 3 A, 20,577,000 germinating seeds,-
