TRI FOLI U M. 
Readers of Carters’ “ Essay upon Grasses and Grass Lands” will remember we state that Trifolium may be 
safely sown south of the Yorkshire Wolds. 
As a stubble-plant, sown either alone or with Rye Grass, after the corn crop is removed. Trifolium has no 
equal. It will produce an enormous crop very early in the following Spring, suitable either for consumption as 
green food or for hay. All kinds of stock eat it freely. 
Upon imperfect clover-leys and other crops intended to produce green Spring food, but that may be deficient in 
plant, the Trifolium is invaluable, by reason of its remarkably rapid Spring growth and abundant productiveness. 
The Trifolium was originally introduced from Italy, and for some years it was only known as a cultivated 
garden-plant, the bright crimson flower being exceedingly pretty. 
N.B.— There are also other Varieties of later Introduction— ;.c., Late Red Trlfollum and Late White 
Trlfollum, both of which are useful to sow In smaller proportions to produce succeeslonal crops 
after the first-named has been consumed. 
Sow 24 to 36 lbs. per acre (alone), or 18 to 20 lbs. if with Italian Rye Grass Seeds.

lE^IB A-SOHSTS 
Every Farmer should grow a few Acres of 
ITALIAN RYE CRASS. 
It will give an earlier and more certain Spring Green Crop than anything else we 
know of. 
In the early Spring it produces magnificent swarths of rich nutritious Green Food 
during the bitterly cold north-east winds of April and May, and when the growth of 
other Crops is more or less cheeked. 
Italian Rye Grass is very nutritious, is eaten greedily by all kinds of slock, and, although very succulent, has 
the advantage of not scouring them. By its use a large number of stock may be kept upon a comparatively limited 
space of ground. 
It is especially suitable for dairying, as securing through about nine months of the year a constant supply of 
succulent food. 
Cows will generally consume about lOO lbs. a day, with more or less corn or cake ; fattening beasts requite 
about the same quantity, with rather more corn or cake ; sheep will eat from to lbs. to 15 lbs. a day. 
Italian Rye Grass may be sown until late in Autumn at the rate of 4 bushels per statute acre. If sown early 
in Autumn it will often give a cut before Winter, whilst as a change of food for early Spring feeding by ewes and 
lambs it is invaluable. 
Italian Rye Grass may also be sown with Trifolium incarnatum (Crimson Clover) at the rate of 2 bushels of 
the former and 18 to 20 lbs. of the latter per acre. 
The ground should be well prepared by the application of as much farmyard manure as the plough will turn 
under.
