I think you further wifhed to know the manure 

 I made ufe of for my cabbage. It was a compoft 

 of lime, weeds, and earth, that lay under the hedges 

 round the field, and a layer of dung, all mixed and 

 turned together. I fpread about 25 cart-loads on 

 an acre, with the ufual ploughing given to a com- 

 mon fummer fallow. This is not to be reckoned 

 with expences attending a cabbage crop ; for admit- 

 ting fuch crop to exhaufl the manure in fome de- 

 gree by its growth, an ample refloration will be 

 made by its refufe ploughed in, and by the ftirring 



and cleaning the ground. 1 will give you, as 



nearly as I can, a full account of the expences of 

 the crop of cabbages per acre.
