 by a plain plowing. The general practice, if 

 time will permit, is tq plow three times ; the 

 firfl fleet the fccond fulUpitch ; the laft a mean 

 depth ; with which lad the feed is plowed in. 



But when it is late before the turneps are 

 got off, different ways of management are fol- 

 lowed, according to the Hate of the foil, and the
