CABBAGES. 



IF it is intended to have beans, the 

 cabbages fhould be all cleared off by Can- 

 dlemas, and the ground plowed and fown 

 as loon as the weather will permit ; but 

 if after plowing it was well harrowed, and 

 the beans planted with fetting-fticks, there 

 would be a much better crop, and a quar- 

 ter of the feed would be fufficient. 



THIS is praclifed in many places in the 

 fouth, where both labour and ground 

 are much dearer than in the north, and 

 they find it turn to good account. 



THEY plant them eighteen inches, fome- 

 times two feet, row from row, and three 

 inches in the row. Two women, with a 

 bag in their aprons to hold the beans, 

 plant them very quick. They have two 

 lines beginning at oppofite ends, each 

 planting the whole of their own line, fb 

 that they are ready at both ends to fhift 

 the lines. They make the holes with 

 the fetting-ftick, and drop a bean in each ; 

 and when the field is planted, harrow it 

 all over.
