The general pradtice is to begin with the 

 wheat-ilubbles, on which turneps are ufually 

 thrown until they be broketi up for fallow for 

 barley. The next throwing-ground is fre- 

 quently the barley-ftubbles, which receive 

 the bullocks as the wheat-ftubbles are fcaled 

 in ; and retain them until they, in their turn, 

 are broken up for turnep-fallow. Frdm 

 about Chriflmas until the beginning of Aprilj 

 the clover-lays, only, are thrown upon : and 

 after thefe are fliut up, (in order to acquire a 

 bite of rye-grafs for the unfinifhed bullocks,) 

 the turnep-fallows, fometimes, become the fcene 

 of throwing. 



Thefe rules, however, are not always ftridly 

 obferved : fome farmers objediing to throw 

 turneps on land intended for turneps the en-

 being kept open until the turnep-crop be 

 finifhcd in the fpring. Young clovers are
