PASTURE GRASSES. 893 5691. A number of other species of tall grasses, well adapted for meadows and hay- making, might be here enumerated; but we have deemed it better to treat only of the most popular sorts, of which seeds may be purchased; all the others of any consequence will be found in a tabular view (Sect. TIL), accompanied by a summary statement of their products in hay and aftermath, nutritive matter, and general character. 5692. The preparation of the soil, and the solving, of the usual nieadoiv grasses, differ in nothing from those of clover and rye-grass already given. The after-treatment of dry meadows, including the making of natural hay, will be found in the succeeding Chapter on the management of grass-lands; that of watered meadows was naturally given when treating of their formation. (4431.) Sect. II. Grasses chiefly adapted for Pasturage. 5693. In treating of pasturage grasses we shall make a selection of such as have been tried to some extent, and of which the seeds are in the course of commerce. On soils in good condition, and naturally well constituted, no better grasses can be sown for pasturage than those we have described as tall grasses for hay-meadows; but for early and late pasturage, and secondary soils, there are others much more suitable. .')694. The pasture grasses for early pasturage on all soils are the Anthoxinthum odor^tum, H6\caa odorSitus, v^vfena pubescens, and P6a annua. 5ii95. The pastur
