 were raised is wet, with a clay sub-soil. The crop of 

 1856-7 was English turnips, with two and a half loads 

 cow manure and muck each year. It was j)lowed 

 June 29th, nine inches deep, and smoothed with a culti- 

 vator ; manured with 200 lbs. horn shavings, and sowed 

 July 19, with i lb. blue top turnip seed; broad cast.
