AT FEBRUARY a. It is a general obfervation, 



TURNEPS. .'...' 11, r> i 



that in this remarkably warm open winter, Ihed- 

 bullocks have done very badly ; while bullocks 

 abroad have done extremely well. A perfon 

 who is a competent judge in this matter in- 

 itances fome bullocks, which he faw the other 

 day, that have fcarcely got any thing during 

 feveral weeks they have been at turneps : 

 his remark was, tint they fweat out as much 

 as they lay on ; that their coats are continually 

 wet ; tbeir backs being covered with drops of 

 fweat. 



In cold winters, bullocks are obferved to 

 do beft in (heds ; but they do not travel fo 

 yvell to market as bullocks fatted abroad or in 

 the open yard. 



This being an interefting fubjedt, and of 

 great importance to this and every other light 

 land Diflrict, I have collected the particular 

 praclice of fuch individuals as bufmefs, or 

 other circumftance, has thrown in my way. 



Mr. Barber, at Baftwick, (a fomewhat tender 

 foil) gives his bullocks turneps in bins in the 

 open yard. AtStanninghall,(a dry firm foil) he 

 keeps them wholly abroad, fhifting them every 

 day, or every two or three days, giving them 

 draw in a moveable four-wheeled ftraw-rack.
