tipon land totally improper for turnips, 

 ftrong clays ; in foils that oblige the farmer 

 to depend totally upon hay and young grafs 

 for the winter and fpring provifion ot his 

 cattle ; that confine him to the common 

 fallows, without the extraordinary profit of 

 fallow crops. 



'Thirdly^ That cabbages are a very certain 

 crop, that may in the largeft concern be 

 fully depended on for the moft numerous 

 flocks of cattle ; turnips not being of near 

 the certainty, from the attacks oi" the fly, 

 £ind the accidental failing of the feed. 



Fourthly^ That cabbages are of very great 

 confequence even upon turnip-farms ; for 

 the expence of providing a nurfery-bed of 

 plants, ready to prick into the turnip-fidlows, 

 in cafe cf a fiilure of that crop, is fo very 

 inconfiderable, and the profit fo imm.enfe, 

 in cafe of fuch failure, that no fenfible and 

 unprejudiced farmer, once acquainted with 

 the culture, would ever be without fuch a 

 fiiccedancum to anfwer unforefeen calls. 



Fifthly, That cabbages, for all forts of 

 cattle, both lean and fat, are fuperior to 

 turnips ; go much farther, yielding a fourth 

 more in weight, and both feed and fatten 

 them better. 



Sixthly, That cabbages, he has found by 

 conftant experience, prepare the land for 

 fpring-corn, much better than turnips, or 

 even a fallow.
