 which various Gentlemen, whofe honour 

 and veracity cannot be doubted, were 

 pleafed to give me : But as objections have 

 been ftated to the method taken in regifter- 

 ing their experiments, I beg leave to requeft 

 thofe of my readers, who have tried Cab- 

 bages, to form an experiment on them in a 

 different method, viz. Cultivate a given 

 number of acres, and keep an exact ac- 

 count of the expence. In the application 

 of the crop, (which is the great point) do 

 not turn your own cattle to them, nor ufe 

 the Cabbages in the common mifcellane- 

 ous manner; but purchafe a number of 

 oxen of a fmall fize, (for inftance, from 

 thirty to fifty flone, 141b.) and fatten 

 them on the Cabbages, (giving certain 

 quantities of hay at the fame time ;) when 

 fat, or the crop fmifhed, fell the beafts 

 directly; and the difference between the 

 buying and felling price will clearly decide 

 the value of the Cabbares. Valuing hearts 

 of your own, or reckoning the price per 

 week, is by no means equally fatisfactory.
