In consequence of the Avet Aveather the clover could not be 
made into hay, and so Avas all Aveighed green. 
The results obtained here point to a very marked increase in 
the yield of clover on the plots manured for barley as against 
the unmanured. This increase Avas very noticeable in the case 
of the preceding barley crop also. 
FUKTHER ExPEKlMENTS ON THE CoMPAEATltE MaNURIAL VaLUES 
OF Decorticated Cotton-cake and Maize-meal, conducted 
IN Lansome Field. 
188-5, barley (manured) ; 188G, broad clover; 1887, Avheat; 
1888, SAvedes. 
In this experiment the manures are only applied once in 
the four-course rotation. The SAvedes vrere accordingly not 
manured. The seed— 3 lbs. per acre — Avas soAvn on May 26. 
The roots Avere very necky on all the plots, and OAviug to the 
Avet summer there Avas a great quantity of tops. The SAvedes 
Avere pulled, topped, and tailed, and afterAvards Aveighed December 
1 and 3. The results are given in Table VII., page 308. 
Here for the fourth year in succession the best result has 
been obtained from the use of decorticated cotton-meal, applied 
direct as manure. Considering that this Avas put on as far back 
as 1885, the increase noAV shoAvn is the more remarkable. As 
Avas obsei-A'ed in previous years, there is an evident disparity 
betAveen the plots 1 and 1— the latter being better land in
