CARTING CABBAGES. 





CARTING TURNIPS. 



If a farmer occupies land which is not suitable 

 to feeding sheep with turnips where they grow, it 

 is of very material consequence so to arrange the 

 lands, stitches, or ridges, as to be able to cart off 

 the crop with as little damage to the field, that is. 

 with as little treading and poaching, as possible. To 

 avoid this evil, is a point which should be particu- 

 larly attended to when turnips are drilled or sown. 

 In the Calendar for June and July this subject will 

 be particularly treated. As the wheels of carts are 

 five feet four inches asunder from centre to centre 

 of the fellies, this demands drilled turnips to be in 

 double or treble rows on ridges of that breadth, 

 for two horses working double, or for one horse in 

 a quarter cart ; or single rows on ridges of 32 

 inch'es. In either case, the wheels and horse 

 move only in the furrows, and consequently do as 

 little damage as possible, and that only at the bot- 

 tom of the ridge-furrows. Throughout the winter, 

 especially if it be a wet one, the great use of this 

 precaution will be found. 



CARTING CABBAGES. 



Cabbages will of course be planted with an eye 

 to the same ciroum stance : the ridges so arranged, 

 as to admit carts to move, as for turnips, in the 

 ridge-furrows only. In carting both turnips and 

 cabbages, attention should be paid to the men, for 

 preventing all movements across the ridges, that 

 they turn from the gateway along the border till 

 they come to the ridges whence the load is to be 

 taken.
