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 close contact, the plants 

 receive immediate benefit, and obtain that quick 

 growth in their early state, which enables them 

 best to escape 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 

 fccuilled and fresh sown. 



CABBAGES. 



Upon your cabbage- lands you should pursue the 

 same maxims as above laid down for turnips, only 

 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 royvs, 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 yon have 

 proof that they should not be planted nearer ; but, 

 if they no more than join on three-feet rows, then 

 you would lose in the crop if ycu g av e a greater 

 distance : two feet from plant to plant, is the pro- 

 per distance.
