BULLOCKS. 

 ABROAD. 



acres of turneps upon his Stanninghall farm, 57, 

 have carried thirty-five fatting bullocks, fol- 

 lowed by forty-five cows, Highlanders, and 

 other lean (lock, together with fourfcore fat- 

 ting fheep, five weeks and three days ; that is, 

 reckoning eight fticep to one bullock, forty- 

 five fatting, and forty-five lean bullocks j from 

 forty to fifty (lone each. 



In fix months thefe bullocks would not eat, 

 at this rate, quite fixty acres : but the turneps 

 are very " thight" and very good. 



Mr. Barber attributes the good proof of his TURNEPS. 

 turneps this year on his Stanninghall farm chiefly 

 to their " thightnefs." He fays he never minds 

 how clofe the hoers leave the plants, fo that they 

 draw their hoes between them. He fays he has 

 fuffercd fome pounds this year, on his Baflwick 

 farm, through the hoers, in his abfence, being 

 fuffered to hack them out too thin *. 



The fame judicious hulbandman fays,he treats 

 his Stanninghall farm (a light dry fqilj for tur- 

 neps, and for olland barley, in this manner : 

 thefirft plowings, whether they be two. or three, 



* Mr. Baker of Southrcps, whofe opinioa in this cafe 

 is equally valuable, holds out the fame ideas ; faying-, 

 that he is always attentive to his hoers, to fee that they 

 do not fee out the plants too thin.
