 Brurti Turnips on light foils fur Spring-feeding Ewes and Lambs. 



The crops of Seed clover have been harverted and well fecured ; they appear to be well- 

 leaded, and of a good quality. Potitoes are found to be every where a large crop, found, and 

 good of their kind. Turnips have lately thriven very much ; and the Pallures never looked 

 better at this feafon of the year: but Fat Cattle, from the coolnefs of the fummer, are 

 found not to oie fo well inllJe as they do in warmer feal'ons.
