 is broken up, a good winter and fummer fallow muft 

 follow; it muft then be planted with rye, and this 

 will bring a furer turnip feafon than tares, when 

 worms or grubs do not feed on the rye, which they 

 are apt to do when the land is firfl; broken up, m<ore 

 than upon tares, which are bitter: the rye mull be 

 fpring fed with flieep; and the land, after two or 

 three ploughings, as occafion may require, fown
