Has "clover sickness" been cured since 1911? Ortolan88
I think the bird's foot trefoil image is misplaced. If I'm looking at the same species it is Lotus corniculatus not a Trifolium. Can anyone confirm? -- sannse (talk) 18:58, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I've removed the image for now (with an incomplete edit summary - sorry) -- sannse (talk) 19:10, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I removed the following cut&paste from http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/1/4/0/11407/11407-h/11407-h.htm I assume this is no longer applicable to modern agriculture. Samw 00:03, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- One of the most recent of useful discoveries in agriculture is to mix layers of green or new cut clover with layers of straw in ricks or stacks; thus the strength of the clover is absorbed by the straw, which, thus impregnated, both horses and cattle eat greedily, and the clover is dried and prevented from heating. This practice is particularly calculated for second crops of clover and rye-grass.
