ranged in two general divisions. The first
division comprises all the true grasses or

the base which

which the stem appears to pass.
The

they do not properly belong to that family.
The clovers of all varieties; the alfalfa, etc.,
belong to this latter class.
In general, grasses ought to be cut not
long after the time of flowering, foraltbough
there is a great deal of nourishment in the
ripe seed, it is hardly enough to make up
for the loss in the stalks and leaven, which
are most . valuable before the soluble

understood him and would not try to break
