As every thing depends on the fuccefs of turnips, 

 their fuccefs depends on good hoeing. They arc 

 the only fallow in our ufual courfe: nor can we 

 change them for a mere fallow, becaufe the fheep, 

 kept to fold, and to feed off the clover and ray- 

 grafs, would then ftarve. We give four plough- 

 ings for turnips, and hoe them well twice. They 

 often, with this culture, prove worth ^vt guineas 

 an acre. The principal part of the crop is drawn 

 and carried into farm -yards for fattening beaftsj th^ 

 remainder we feed off with fheep and lambs, which 

 clear the land of every part of them. 



We generally mow the firft and fecond growth 

 of clover i not merely on account of the hay, but 

 becaufe, by repeated experience, we are convinced 

 the wheat which follows is far better than it would 

 be after feeding. 



Soaper's alhes are laid on ftrong wet lands with 

 great fuccefs; and alfo on paflures as a top-drefling 



in the beginning of April. Malt-duft and foot 



are ufed on meadows, and anfwer well; the latter 

 is purchafed at high prices from Norwich. 



The winter food of cows is chiefly turnips and 

 flraw, in the farm-yards, which are kept well lit- 

 tered with chopt ftubble and ftraw.
