ON RIPPLE GRASS.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Sir--Permit me to recommend to the attention of the Society, a small grass growing spontaneously all over our distict, and which has the important advantages of being a native of our clime and soil, and retaining its verdure and jaices throughout the winter. I allude to the narrow-leaved plantain, or ripple grass, (plantago.) My sheep have never thriven well in winter, notwithstanding they have a dry fold; a good shelter, with racks and troughs, and are tolerably well supplied with dry food and pea hay; but last winter they suffered so much from the want of pasture, and brought me so few lambs, that my attention was naturally turned to the best mode of procuring them green food, occasionaliy during the winter, and very early in the spring.
