cabbages, arc unexceptionable; they come clearly 

 within the firft definition, introducing into your 

 counties practices that fucceed very well in com- 

 mon management elfcwhere. But why give three 

 guineas for the winter vetch, and fix for the fum- 

 mer one? The winter vetch is an object of the 

 firft confequence, the fummer one of very little. 

 Premium 15 does not fay whether the rape is for 

 feeding cattle or fox feed; the former excellent 

 hufbandry; the latter has alone ruined many 



farms. But the object: of fainfoin (ri) is of 



yet greater importance ; you deferve the greatefl 



praife for attending to that noble grafs. But 



as to Hops, (44) the fame obfervation is by no 

 means applicable. It is a culture only fit for na- 

 tural dunghills, or the vicinity of great cities. 

 The greateft improvement that could be intro- 

 duced into SufTex would be to grub up all the 

 hops; five or fix acres, on a farm of 100 or 150, 

 nearly ruin it, by receiving all the dung. If you 

 fucceed, and make this a common huibandry in 

 your counties, think no more of turnips, cabbages, 

 or any other plant that demands the dunghill. 



Zealand barley, compofts, potatoe feed, parfley, 

 yellow vetch, the curl, and graffes ; they are all 

 cither refinements, or dubious, and confequently 

 come under that head which demands much con- 



fideration.
