 The carrying of the cabbages of the land to 

 the cattle, as they are wanted, I will fup- 

 pofe,'on fuch a fcale of fc( Jing as mine, 

 to require a man, 2 horfes, and a cart,

 is about - - - - -0176 



Total expence. per acre • ^,1 14 1 



The aforefaid man in my farm carries the cab- 

 bage to 45 oxen, and upwards of 60 fheepj and 

 throws them out of the cart over the fields without 

 cutting them. My 1 1 acres of cabbage will feed the 

 above number of flock for three months, and I am 

 very well aflured that they prove as faft as they do 

 in the prime months of the feafon, May, June, and 

 July. I am, and would wifh to be, the practical 

 farmer ; at the fame time I am open to informa- 

 tion, or the candid opinion of any manj remain- 

 ing, dear Sir, 



Your much obliged friend and fervant,

 to recommend to Mr. Vagg fome future attention to the 

 poflible advantage of cutting the cabbages before they are 



eaten ;
