The 30th of November^ they were began 

 to be cut for continuing the fatting of live 

 beafts then taken from grafs, and i o fheep ; 

 three of the beafts weighed looftone i^lb, 

 each, and the fheep fold at 38/. a fcore. 

 One of the beads was killed the 2 2d of 

 December., the other four were kept till the 

 firft of March., and likewife the fheep. 



The cabbages were cut regularly as they 

 flood (not picked), and given to the cattle 

 upon a dry grafs-field : Nothing could thrive 

 better; two of the fheep were killed for 

 trial, the mutton excellent, and perfectly 

 well tafled. The beef alfo was extremely 

 line, and had no particular tafle. It appeared 

 very plain to Mr. Scroops and all his huf- 

 bandmen, that the cabbages were a much 

 fuperior food to turnips; as he had 20 other 

 fheep, of the fame age and breed, at turnips, 

 while the abovementioned 10 were at cab- 

 bages ; and the latter evidently came on 

 much fafler than the former. The keeping 

 the fheep at cabbages reckoned worth 8 </, 

 a head per week, the oxen 3 j. 6 ^. a week,
