grade. He now has a patch of
rye and sand or harry vetch that
is the most luxurious crop we
hare seen this spring. It is ,
about the height of a man. , The !

its own weight and
must be j
sowed with oats or rye to hold it :

A cow goes for it on all

chewing this as her choice suc

butter, decidedly better in flavor
than the clover butler.
