at all. A lean porker was fatted by car- 

 rots in ten days time; eat nothing elfe, and 

 the fat when killed was very fine, white and 

 firm, nor did it boil away in the dreffing : 

 The quantity of carrots eat, 1 4 ftone ; for 

 all were weighed. Hogs in general feed 

 upon them with great eagernefs. 



In 1766, Mr. Heivett cultivated another 

 acre, which he managed in the fame man- 

 ner, and applied to the fame ufes, with the 

 fame fuccefs; the crop nearly as before. 



In 1767, a third acre cultivated, cleaned, 

 and ufed as before ; the crop equally 

 good. 



In 1768, he fowed two acres, but one 

 of them has failed, and are ploughed up 

 again ; nor is the remaining one equal to 

 former crops. 



This ingenious cultivator is in general 

 of opinion, that carrots may prove of very 

 great ufe ; for turnips being fubject to the 

 fly, and cabbages to rotting, thefe roots 

 being liable to neither, may be much bet- 

 ter depended upon. But he thinks the 

 care and expence of cultivation too great to 

 be profitable to a common farmer. To this 

 opinion, however, I can by no means fub- 

 fcribe ; I have found by experiment, that 

 carrots applied to any ufe, are well worth 

 more than 1 s. a bufhel.
