as may not underftand the manner of 

 treating turnips for feed, it may not be 

 amifs to remark, that if the feed be ga- 

 thered from turnips which are fown for 

 three or four years fuccellively, the roots 

 will be numerous and long; and the 

 necks, or part between the turnips and 

 the leaves, wdll be very coarfe and big; 

 and if they be tranfplanted every year, 

 thefe parts will be too fine, and the tap- 

 roots will diminifh too much. The belt 

 way is, to gather the feed from the tur- 

 nips which are tranfplanted one year, 

 and fown the other ; or, if they be tranf- 

 planted once in three years, it will 

 keep the ftock in very good condition. 

 The method of tranfplanting is, to 

 take up the turnips chofen for feed 

 about Chriftmas, to cut off their tops, 

 and to plant them as near the houie 

 as poflible, that the birds may be kept
