S s.l 10802 10808 10811 10813 10816 10820 10821 History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 10822 The quantity of seed varies from eight to fourteen pounds per acre, according to the intention of the crop, the quantity of grass-seeds sown, &c. The after culture of clover and rye-grass consists chiefly of picking off any stones or rather hard bodies which may appear on the surface in the spring succeeding that in which it was sown, and cutting out by the roots any thistles, docks, or other large grown weeds. After this, the surface should be rolled once to smooth it for the scythe. This operation is best performed in the first dry weather of March. Some give a top-dressing of soot, gypsum, common lime, peat, or wood-ashes, at this time or earlier; gypsum has been particularly recommended as a top-dressing for clovers and the other herbage legumes, because as their ashes afford that substance in considerable quantities, it appears to be a necessary ingredient of their food.

The taking of the clover, or clover and rye-glass crop, is either by cutting green for soiling, by making into hay, or by pasturing. It is observed in The Code of Agriculture, that it is a most important point to ascertain, in what cases cutting or feeding is most beneficial. If fed, the land has the advantage of the dung and urine of the pasturing stock; but the dung being dropt in irregular quantities, and in the heat of summer, when it is devoured by insects, loses much of its utility. If the dung arising from the herbage, whether consumed in soiling, or as hay, were applied to the land in one body and at the proper season, the operation would be more effectual. The smother of a thick crop, continued for any time upon the ground, greatly tends to promote its fertility; and it has been pretty uniformly found, after repeated trials, upon soils of , upon soils of almost every description, that oats taken after clover that has been cut, either for soiling or hay, is superior to the crop taken after clover pastured by sheep.

The produce of clover-hay, without any mixture of rye-grass, on the best soils, is from two to three tons per acre, and in this state in the London market it generally sells twenty per cent. higher than meadow-hay, or ORDER IV.

The weight of hay from clover and rye-grass varies according to the soil and the season, from one to three tons per English acre, as it is taken from the tramp-ricks; but after being stacked, and kept till spring, the weight is found to be diminished twenty-five or thirty per cent. The value of clover and rye-grass hay, in comparison with the straw of beans or pease, may be in the proportion of three to two; and with the finest straw of corn crops, in the proportion of two to one. One acre of red or broad clover will go as far in feeding horses or black cattle, as three or four of natural grass. And when it is cut occasionally, and given to them fresh, it will probably go still much farther, as no part of it is lost by being trod down.

The saving of clover seed is attended by considerable labor and difficulty. Clover will not perfect its seeds, if saved for that purpose early in the year; therefore it is necessary to take off the first growth either by feeding or with the scythe, and to depend for the seed on those heads that are produced in the autumn. The produce in seed may generally be from three to four or five bushels per acre, when perfectly clean, weighing from two to three hundred weight. But there is great uncertainty in the produce of clover-seed, from the lateness of the season at which it becomes ripe; and the fertility of the soil is considerably impaired by such a crop. Yet the high value of the seed is a great inducement to the saving of it, in favorable situations.

T. incarnatum is sometimes sown as a border flower. 1601. Lotus. Λωτoς, in Greek. There were three sorts of Lotus distinguished by the ancients; viz. their tree lotus, which was our Zizyphus lotus; the marsh lotus, which was our Nymphæa lotus; and the herbaceous lotus, which appears to have been the present genus. The pods of L. edulis are still eaten in Candia, by the poorer inhabitants.
