 for a cabbage will not be fine, where a white 

 Turnip will; but as the quantity of land, 

 wanted for this purpose, is comparatively

 The after-culture of cabbages is trifling. No 

 weeds to plague us with hand-work. Two 

 good ploughings, at most, will suffice. But 

 ploughing after planting out is necessary ; and, 

 besides, it leaves the ground in so fine a state. 

 The trial may be on a small scale, if the farmer 

 please. Perhaps it were best to be such. But, 

 on whatever scale, let the trial be &fair trial.

 bages, when I come to speak of Hogs and 

 Cows.
