on the benefits of the advantageous cab- 

 bage culture. 



Beiides this vegetable, Mr. L.yjler has 

 cultivated carrots ; laft year he had a fmali 

 piece which was of incomparable life in 

 feeding a large quantity of fwine ; this 

 year he has ibme acres which I viewed, 

 I found one field juft weeded and the other 

 weeding; the crop exceedingly fine in 

 point of regularity and growth but in- 

 finitely too thick ; in weeding, the weeds 

 alone were pulled out by hand, but the 

 carrots not thinned, infomuch that every 

 foot fquare prefented knots of three or 

 four, and often more within an inch or 

 two of one another ; no hoeing given

 would they net do if hoed three times as 

 in Suffolk ? 



Beiides thefe experiments Mr. Lyjlcr has 

 an acre of lucerne fown five years ago 

 in drills two feet aiundcr. It is upon the 

 fame fandy foil ; he has generally cut it 

 thrice a year, and finds it of ufe in foiling 

 horfes ; but the clerk informed me, that it 

 by no means anfwered natural paftures or 

 clover in real value. It is however vigo-

 what is here called ribbed grafs, which I
