nures anfwer very well. One fmall part of 

 the field where the cabbages were planted, was 

 broke from the lay laft March, got fix plough- 

 ings and five harrowings; another part four 

 ploughings and three harrowings. 



The quantity of ground under turnips is 8 a. ir. 10 p. 

 Under cabbages 2 a. i r. 10 p. 



The turnip ground got no manure of any 

 kind, nor was it burned. 



The foregoing improvements were conduct- 

 ed under the immediate care and manage- 

 ment of 



MAURICE MURRAY." 



After thefe turnips he fowed barley, and with 

 the barley, grafs feeds ; before this improve- 

 ment the land was worth los. an acre, but after 

 it would let for 255. the grafs having fucceed- 

 ed perfectly. Cabbages Mr. Oliver has alfo 

 cultivated thefe four years, and with fuccefs, 

 but does not find, upon the whole, they fuc- 

 ceed fo well as turnips, except Reynolds' tur- 

 nip-rooted cabbage, which is of very great ufe 

 late in the fpring, after other forts are gone. 

 Beans Mr. Oliver has alfo tried in fmall quan- 

 tities, and feem to do pretty well ; I faw his 

 crop this year drilled and well managed, and a 

 good produce, enough to give him the expecta- 

 tion of their being an advantageous article. 

 Lucerne he has alfo tried, but found the trouble 

 of keeping it clean too great to anfwer the cul- 

 tivation.
