 harveft. 



By the end of October^ they will be fit 

 to dig up. Carrots are ufed two ways ; 

 they are dug up, toped, dried and cleaned,

 in the field to be fed there by cattle : Both 

 methods have advantages, in the firft, the

 they grew is greatly improved: I fhould, 

 however, (unlefs upon a great breadth of 

 ground) prefer the former ; for beiides the 

 peculiar advantages attending it, that of 

 raifing manure may be added, as large
