 CROP over the turnep-ground. This be- 

 ing only in ufe where a large flock of flieep is 

 kept and few bullocks are fatted, it is feldom 

 practifed in Eaft-Norfolk. It differs from the 

 ordinary method of hurdling off turnens, in 

 that the fheep, inftead of being put upon the 

 plants as they {land, are kept back upon the 

 cleared ground, upon which the turneps are 

 thrown. But as, in this cafe, the turneps 

 mufl either be thrown in part over the 

 ground already fouled by the fheep ; or be 

 confirled to a fpace iimilar to that off which 

 they are drawn ; — by which means the princi- 

 pal intention of drawing is fruftrated ;— a 

 third method of harveiling has been invenied : 

 namely,

 of modern invention ; and is now chiefly prac- 

 tifed by a few capital farmers, who lat large 

 quantities both of cattle and flicep.
