question yet made of the propriety of delivering 

 them at the same time as the seed. This is the 

 case with hone-dust, soot, coal and wood-ashes, 

 dried and threshed pigeons' dung, powdered night- 

 soil, and many others. Soot must, however, he 

 mixed with some rougher powder, to prevent the 

 cups smoothing their way in it, and by pressure 

 preventing the delivery. These are all cheap ways 

 of manuring for turnips ; and, as the seed and the 

 manure are deposited in elose contact, the plants 

 receive immediate benefit, and obtain that quick 

 growth, in their early state, which enables them 

 best to eseape the fly. 



SWEDISH TURNIP. 



A second, or perhaps a third sowing of this very 

 valuable plant, should take place in this month : 

 see the directions in May. And if the former 

 sowing was eaten up by the fly, the land should be 

 well scuffled and fresh sown. 



CABBAGES. 



Upon your cabbage-lands you should pursue the 

 same maxims as above laid down for turnips, only 1 

 in ploughing the manure in, always throw the land 

 on to the ridge, and set the plants in a single row 

 on the top of each : so the dung is covered up in 

 the ridges, and the plants in a proper situation for 

 profiting by it to the utmost. As to the distance 

 of the rows, you must be guided absolutely by the 

 richness of the soil : if you find the plants join 

 from row to row, when at four feet, then you have 

 proof that they should not be planted nearer ; but,
