The importance of a fpring food for all 

 forts of cattle, at a time when all other food 

 exxept hay is gone, muft be evident to every 

 one; and greater ftill when we confider the 

 quantity of the produce, as well as the dura- 

 tion of it. This grand point of fpring food 

 for cattle, is that which has received fo much 

 attention from all fuperior farmers in this 

 age ; and which the Society for the en- 

 couragement of arts, manufactures, and 

 commerce, have fo much promoted : The 

 Scotch cabbage, from this continued regifter 

 of numerous experiments, is proved to an- 

 fwer every purpofe of fpring feed, and that 

 in a degree very uncommon with all the ve- 

 getables I ever heard of. 



In refpect of produtt, I have already con- 

 fidered it as to weight of crop; but it mull: 

 here be examined in other points of view, 

 particularly the cattle fed, that you may be 

 convinced, that when I talk of all 'forts of 

 cattle, I do not much exaggerate.
