But it was unquestionably introduced by the first settlers from southern Europe, where it has been culti- vated as an indispensable forage crop since the days of the Romans. Although it succeeds well in the moist climate of Eng- land, it is evidently peculiarly adapted to the exigencies of drier climates, and more arid soils. When these are deep enough they need not be very rich in order to produce good crops of Lucerne, which may be kept good for many years by occasional top-dress- ings. A wri...ter in one of our agricultural periodicals says, that from his experience he is convinced no other crop can at all compare with Lucerne for abundance and quality, and for cutting green and feeding in the yard to farm stock, or for making hay of the most fattening properties. Hogs fed or pastured upon lucerne require no other food, being often slaughtered in fine condition after feeding on it alone. He recommends sowing broadcast instead of in drill rows, as usually advised, the seed to be scattered thickly on clean and and well pulverized land, either in spring, summer or autumn, and without any other crop.
