Ihorn, have it bound in (heaves and put in nar- 

 row (lacks, in the field, or fome convenient 

 place, as the (lalks of rape would prevent its 

 heating ; and if in an airy fituation, it would

In rcfp^<-l to the difference between cole and 

 rape; in the feed, it is fcarcely pofTible to dif- 

 tinguifh them; but when in plants you may 

 eafiiy tell one from the other* Cole in general 

 is intended to be eaten v/ith (heep, and rape to 

 (land for feed to be manufadured into oil, 

 which is ufed in fuch large quantities by the 

 clothiers, by other artifans, and likewife in 

 phyfic. Cole, however, is likewife frequently 

 fown like rape, for the purpofe of (landing for 

 {ccd, from which oil is expre(red. Cole grows 

 to a greater height when in leaf than rape; and 

 the (lalks are fo foft and pulpy, that fheep can 

 eat them very near the bottom. Rape is of a 

 hardier nature, more calculated to (land the 



winter
