Place, where the Sheep will eat them up clean, both 

 Leaf and Root : This is done when there is Land 

 not far off, which has more Need of Dung, than 

 that where the Turneps grow, which perhaps is alfo 

 too wet for Sheep in the Winter •, and then the Tur- 

 neps will, by the too great Moifture and Dirt of the 

 Soil, fpoil the Sheep, and in Tome Soils give them 

 the Rot, yet fuch Ground will bring forth more and 

 larger Turneps than dry Land ; and when they are 

 carry'd off, and eaten on plow'd Ground in dry 

 Weather, and on Green- fwerd in wet Weather, the 

 Sheep will thrive much better-, and that moid Soil, 

 not being trodden by the Sheep, will be in much the 

 better Order for a Crop of Corn. And generally 

 the Expence of Hurdles, and removing them, being 

 laved, will more than countervail the Labour of 

 carrying off the Turneps. 



Thefe Three Ways of fpending Turneps with 

 Sheep are common to.thofe drill'd, and to thofe fown 

 in the random Manner ; but they muft always be 

 carry 'd off for Cows and Oxen ; both which will be 

 well fatted by them, and fome Hay in the Winter : 

 The Management of thefe is the Bufinefs of a 

 Grazier.
