II has been often and well said, care
natures care" The is, perhaps, no
class OF the vegetable world so little un-
dcrstood as this. "Grssses," says Pro-
fessor Martyr, "vulgarly forms one single
idea, and o husbandman, when he is
looking over his enclosure, does not
dream that there are upwards of 300
species of glass, of which 80 or 40 may
be at present under his eye. They have
ucarcely had name besides the general
one till within these 20 years; and the
few particular names which have been
given them are far from having obtained
general use, so that we may fairly as
sert that the knowledge Of this most
common and useful tribe of plants is yet
in lis infancy"
Having heretofore noticed Clover,
Timothy, Orchard Grass, bliliet Bucket
Wheat, &C., we shall now notice briefly
some other kinds that have not yet come
into very general use with many Of our
farmers.
/. Rye Grdss-Appears tohave been cul-
tivated previous to the year 1877, be-
sides which, red clover, spurrcy, trefoil,
&c., were the only plants then culti-
vated as grasses and it is only of late
wears that any other species Of the nat
ural grasses has been tried as substi-
tute for it, in forming artificial pastures.
There has been much difference Of
opinion respecting the merits and COM
parative value Of frye-grass. 1t ltproduces
an abundance OF seed which is easily
collected and readily vegetables on most
kinds of soil, under circumstances of dit
ferent management. 1t soon arrives at
perfection, and produces in its first year
Of growth a COED supply of early herb
age, which is much liked by cattle.
Ii may be sown either with or with
out clover or other grasses in July and
August, or in the spring, at the rate OF
one and half to two bushels per acre,
or when sown with clover about half a
this quantity will suffice. 1t is thought
that rye-grass will stand long and severe
droughts, longer and better than most
any other grass in this country.
1t is one OF the most prolific grasses
now used; often branching or stooling out
as high as 80 to 100 stalks or straws
from single seed when and where it
has an opportunity to do so. =. 1t is very
applicable to the middle States, and is
grown as far north northern N. Y, where
i has become quite favorite with many
farmers.
Herds Grass.--This grass is set down
in the Warburn table of experiments. on
the respective value of grass at very
low figure; much loo low we think under
favorable circumstances. We would
not advise any farmer TO use this grass
on his cultivated land, as it is too tena-
cious in its hold, but in low springy, and
wet lands we believe it TO be one of the
