refufed for turneps The fame turneps are now 68. 



worth about three pounds. Good turneps are 

 fold for fifty Ihillings, tolerable ones for forty 

 {hillings. 



The reafon for this rapid fall of turneps is 

 twofold : the opcnnefs of the winter, and 

 the fcarcity of bullocks, this year ; owing 

 to their high price at Michaelmas, and to the 

 poverty of the farmers. 



A. gives forty fhillings for tolerable ones, 

 and is allowed to bring fome home ; but he 

 pulls and tends the reft himfelf {A. fays pull- 

 ing and ftraw is worth twenty fhillings). 



B. took in lean three-year-olds at two Ail- 

 lings a week, but their owner would not con- 

 tinue : B. therefore fold him the turneps at 

 fifty millings an acre (middling) ; B. to pujl 

 and tend ; but the purchafer to find ftraw 

 (B. reckons pulling, &c. worth ten fhillings an 

 acre. ) 



C. agreed (early in the feafon) with P. at 

 three pounds ; P. to pull, tend, and find ftraw ; 

 which C. reckons at fifteen millings, viz., five 

 millings the ftraw, and ten millings the attend- 

 ajace.
