 all the stock by the middle of March, and to have 

 enough to last till May. 



SHEEP IN STUMBLE TURNIPS. 

 One of the resources for sheep -feed ing, at this 

 pinching season, is stubble turnips. A good ma- 

 nager, who finds a field -of warm, forward, rich 

 land, harvested early (whatever may have been the 

 crop), will sow turnips, with a view to sheep-feed 

 in March and April. If they are not sown early, 

 they will consist of little more than shoots ; but as 

 they run up very rapidly at this time of the year, 

 they afford much food, and are truly useful, at a 

 season when every blade is valuable. 



SHEEP IN ROUEN. 



As turnips are by this time done, or ought to be 

 done, the farmer will now find the immense im- 

 portance of that reserve of kept grass, called rouen 

 in Suffolk. All his ewes and lambs may now be 

 in it. 



SHEEP IN BURNET. 



The autumnal growth of burnet may now be fed 

 with sheep to great advantage, and prove of singu- 

 lar importance.
