plants, the next at hand from the feed-bed; and thus 
regularly proceeding, all muft be removed that re- 
quire it. This checks their growth, and renders 
them lefs liable to injury when removed to the field. 
_ The operation, however, if the foil and manure be 
both tolerably free from other feeds, will be very 
feldom found neceflary. The plot, intended for their 
reception at Midfummer, ought to lie in the moft 
fertile part of the turnip-field, but by no means on 
a clay foil; as, although they may be better able to 
contend with its tenacity than the common turnip, 
fhould wet weather come at the time of their being 
confumed, it will be found very inconvenient in the 
feeding of them on the fpot, and the land, in all 
probability, would be thrown out of its feafon for 
barley; while to haul them away, if the foil fhould 
be at all poachy, would be ftill more troublefome. 
The reafon for giving it elfewhere the beft part of | 
the field, is under the view of making the lefs land 
fuffice for the purpofe; as the fubfequent barley- 
fowing muft neceffarily be retarded longer than 
might otherwife be thought eligible. ‘The plot de- 
- termined on ought to be well fallowed and pulve- 
rized, and eight waggon, or a proportionate number 
of cart loads of dung or compoft dragged in on an 
acre. It muft then, and immediately, be thrown 
into one-bout ridges with the common plough, un- 
lefs the double-mould board one may be obtained, 
which would be by far better. |
