 four fliillings an acre. About ten days 

 after the firll hoeing, or a fortnight at 

 fartheft, the ground mufl be hoed a fe- 

 cond time, fo as to ftir the mould effec- 

 tually between the plants, and to check 

 any riling weeds. This fecond hoeing is 

 as beneficial as the firft. The expence 

 is from two fhillings to half-a-crown an 

 acre. About a fortnight or three weeks 

 after Michaelmas, the turnips will be fit 

 for confumption ; and may be ufed from 

 that time to April, unlefs the froft 

 fhould injure them. The almoft inva- 

 riable pradiice in Norfolk is, to draw the 

 whole of the crop from wet land, and 

 give them to cattle in cribs in the yard, 

 or flrew them before their cattle on fome 

 dry pafture or clean flubble-land. The 

 advantage derived from this is very great.
