Thofe who look for an immediate profit, will 

 undoubtedly cultivate rape for feed, but it may 

 anfwer perhaps better in the end to feed it with 

 fheep; the fat ones might cull it over firft, and 

 afterwards the lean or (lore fheep might follow 

 them, and be folded thereon; if this be done in the 

 autumn feafon, the land will be in good heart to 

 carry a crop of wheat ; or where the rape is fed off 

 in the fpring, a crop of barley might follow; in 

 either cafe rape is valuable to the cultivator.; and 

 ■when it is planted and well earthed round the (terns, 

 it will endure the fevered winter ; but the fame can- 

 not be advanced in favour of that which is fown 

 broadcaft. 



I flatter myfelf the foregoing obfervations will 

 prove acceptable to the fociety, and ufeful to gen - 

 tlcmen farmers in general, who may wifh to culti- 

 vate rape either for feed or fodder. 



I am, Gentlemen, 

 Your very humble fervant,
