Where cattle are to be fed on turnips, they 

 may be treated in the fame manner as fheep, 

 provided the land be dry. 



Having fo plainly demonftrated thefuperiori- 

 ty of turnip-culture by the drill, it would be

 latter method will, I hope, be exploded by every 

 farmer who can prevail upon himfelf to give 

 the former a fair trial. To render what is above 

 recommended more eafy and no lefs profitable, 

 it may be proper to plant, along with the tur- 

 nips, in the middle of the field, a proper fpace 

 (proportioned to the fize of your ftock) with 

 potatoes, which might be taken up at the pro- 

 per feafon - 3 and the vacant ground would ferve 

 fof the fheep to pafs to and fro to eat their food/
