1 Englnnil a large portion of ihe Hirnip crop is con- 

 ed on tlie land where il grows. The sheep are fed 

 doors all winter; and he saw many large flocks, 

 isands and nilllioiis of sheep, which were never 

 sed. This was matter ofsur|irise especially consider 

 the ivelness ot the climate ; and these sheep were o(- 

 Rxposed in fields where «dry spot could not he found 

 hem to ho down upon. Sheep were ..ricn folded in 

 land by wattled f.-nces or hurdles teniporarilr crect- 

 1 diOerent parts of the field and removed from place 

 nee as the poriions of the crop were consumed In 

 ? cases they were lidded and the turnips dug and 

 ed to them. In such case they wjire always fed 



lands which were intended the next year to be 

 ght under cultivalion. In one case he saw a man 

 "yed in the field in raising turnips with a crow bar 

 ieep, who was expected to be occupied exclusively 

 ;s business the whole winter. It is deemed by many 

 ?rs much the preferable mode to dig all ihe turnips 

 ic sheep as they aie wanted. In this case they are 



completely consumed. The Swedish turnip does 

 tiffer even by being frozen in the winter, but is 

 I when thawed in the spring uninjured. In the 



o( tnglaud turnips are ,rencrally housed : or they 

 ivered with straw on the land which is to be brouoht 

 • the plough Land is often designated by way of Ix- 

 ice, as "laud that will carry sheep ; " th'at is, land on 

 1 crops ot turnips are raised for feeding the sheep ; 

 uch lands are grearly ■enriched by their bein» fed 

 It. In the Lothians of Scotland, where the culii- 

 i IS as fine as in any part of Great Britain, turnips 

 rgely cuUivatad. Here they are generally covered 

 isei. f he bweedish turnips are particularly suit- 

 a cold climate.

JOaEPH BRECK & CO. at the New England Agricul- 

 tural Warehouse and .Seed Store, Nos.51 and 62 N-orth Mar- 

 ket .'-ireet, have for sale, Green's Patent Straw, Hay and 

 otalk Cutler, operating on a mechanical principle not before 

 applied to any implement for this purpose. The most prom- 

 inent effects of this application, and some of the consequent 

 peculiarities of the machine are: 



1. So great a reduction of the quantum of power rcquisifc 

 to use It, that the strength of a half grown boy is sufficient 



' work It very efficiently. 



2. With even this moderate power, it easily cuts two bush- 

 els a minute, which is full twice as fast as has been claimed 

 liy any other max;hine even when Worked by horse or steam 

 power. 



3. The knives, owing to the peculiar manner in which they 

 cut, require sharpening less «lten than those of any other 

 straw cutter. 



4. The machine is simple in its construction, made and 

 put together very strongly. It is therefore not so liable as 

 the complicated machines in general use to get out of order.
