March. There is fomething fo rational 

 in this mode of cultivating turnips, and 

 the benefit refulting from it is fo obvi- 

 ous, and confiderable, that it is a matter 

 of wonder hov^^ any farmer can hefitate 

 in adopting the pradlice : yet I have ne- 

 ver found that perfualion alone will pre- 

 vail with men, accuftomed to a different 

 method of culture j and am inclined to 

 believe, that nothing will be a fufficient 

 inducement but example, which fhould 

 be fet by gentlemen of landed property, 

 as well for their own advantage, as that 

 of the public. 



If this method of raifing turnips fliould 

 be thought too expenfive, to anfwer in 

 general pradlice, it fhould be confidered, 

 that when the crop is good, twenty acres 

 vvill fatten at leafl fifteen bullocks, and 

 fupport ten followers, or flore-cattle, 

 for twenty-five weeks ; or fheep, in the 



proportion
