LUCERN.

HIS foreign grass, the native of a warmér

clime, succeeds extremely well in this coun- try, upon deep soils which are both light and of natural fertility; on such, no other grass is sa abundant, nor any other crop so profitable: but, as wellas the best land, it requires the most per- fect garden-culture, and a full share of the best manure upon the farm. As Lucern will be in- jured by any mixture of other grass, as much as by weeds, it ever ought to be drilled; sometimes it is transplanted. It is perennial, and may be cut several times in the season. The bulk of hay made from this grass is very great, and said to be a restorative for worn-down horses. Lucern is well relished by cattle of all kinds, and by hogs as much as clover. As green herbage for horses in the stable, it is not only esteemed the most wholesome, but the most heartening and sub-

stantial.
