FEBRUARY. 8Q 



the following clover and wheat equal in both, ac- 

 cording to soil, still there remains a superiority in 

 the article of manure ; for all that is raised by the 

 consumption of the turnip crop is so much superio- 

 rity to the dry soil. But reverse the medal. Sup- 

 pose cabbages to be introduced on the clay, and the 

 scene is changed. That crop will exceed the tur- 

 nips, yield more profit, and enable the fanner to 

 make more manure. For these reasons, the re- 

 commendation of cabbages appears to be extremely 

 well-founded ; and consequently, those farmers who 

 possess the proper soils, cannot determine too soon 

 to enter on the cultivation of them. 



But there is another circumstance attending so: ,e 

 sorts of cabbages, which make them highly eligible 

 on all farms, which is their Listing for sheep-feed 

 longer in the spring. Ruta baga, turnip cabbage, 

 cabbage turnip, and green boorcole, are in per- 

 fection in April, and last even to May, the most 

 pinching period in the year. Turnips will do no 

 such thing ; consequently those farmers who pos- 

 sess turnip soils, should, on no account, slight the 

 culture of cabbages for this purpose. 



WATER- FURROW ING, 



Care must be taken to cut water -fur rows through 

 all new ploughed lands, as soou as the fields are 

 finished. Saving a trifle of money in the omission 

 of such a necessary work, often hazards a crop, and 

 is sure greatly to damage it. In making them, the 

 descents arid variations of the surface are to be kept 



in
