last gets the upper hand in its turn, as the former fails.. Both red and white clover, equal quanti- ties, might be advantageously sown. The average produce for ten years, upon good land, may be stated at a load and half of hay per acre. Yor drilling this grass, see Index. It is usually broad- cast upon any corn-crop, or, by itself in the spring, or even in the autumn. Quantity of seed, from four to eight bushels the acre, with, or without, six or eight pounds of clover. When kept for seed, quantity, a quarter and half, to two quar- ters and half per acre, the present worth of which is about two guineas to fifty shillings per quar- ter; and the straw is good cattle-fodder. It ought to be remembered that saintfoin-hay soon dries, and requires only one turning of the swathes. The right preparation for this valuable grass, is a perfectly clean and fine garden tilth.

Burner succeeds on almost any, but strong clayey soils, and may be sowed, like other seeds, with corn, and covered with three turns of the harrows. Quantity, a bushel toan acre. I think it advantageous to mix Burnet with ray-grass and white clover, or with the latter alone, not only with the view of securing a good bottom, but to render the herbage more palatable to cattle in ge- neral, which I have been convinced by ocular proof(much more satisfactory than the argumen- tative) have no great relish for Burnet: they, how- ever, become accustomed to its cucumber flavour in time, and contented with it; no small induce- ment undoubtedly is, that they are commonly fed with it when no other grass is to be obtained.
