The Production of Successive Green Crops. 
the second cutting of Italian rye-grass come in. All the young 
cattle are out at grass ; what is not required of the rye-grass and 
clover is made into hay. 
Juli/. — Spring tares from No. 2 now come into use ; and a 
strong heavy crop requires cutting into chaff. To these are 
added rye-grass and clover from the 16 acres, and in the first week 
a second cutting of Italian rye-grass off No. 3. The six horses 
are out at pasture during the night, the cows are partly at grass, 
and the young cattle entirely. 
^?</7MS^.— Spring tares are obtained from No. 5, first sowing 
Italian rye-grass, a third cutting from No. 3, and clover from 
the 16 acres if required. Six of the horses are at pasture during 
the night, all the others receiving green food ; all the cows 
are at pasture on aftermath, and the young cattle are also at 
grass, 
September. — Italian rye-grass from No, 3, spring tares from 
No, 5, (second sowing), a strong crop being passed through the 
cutting-machine, and clover from the 16 acres are got this 
month. All the horses receive a supply, but all the cows and 
young cattle are at pasture, 
October. — Ox-cabbage leaves from No, l,and turnip-tops from 
the 16 acres, are used this month ; the horses receiving a small 
quantity of turnips from the 16 acres, and the cows a cart-load 
per day of the cabbage-leaves or turnip-tops, carted out into the 
meadows and spread there, so that all can be consumed. The 
young cattle are at grass. 
November. — Ox-cabbages are got from No. 1, viz., two feeds 
per day for the cows, and one feed per day for young cattle (or 
turnip-tops) ; the cabbages are cut as near to the ground as pos- 
sible with a strons: hedg:in2:-bill : each cabbage is cut in four 
quarters, taking care to cleave the stalk up the middle, as there 
is some valuable eating in it. The horses have a small quan- 
tity of steamed turnips the last week. 
December. — Ox-cabbages continue to be obtained from No, 1, 
viz., two feeds per day for the cows, one feed per day for the 
young cattle. A week's supplv is always kept cut beforehand, 
in case frost should set in, as the cabbage breaks like glass in 
frost. If the weather seems settled for frost, another week or ten 
days' stock is got in ; and if the storm should last longer, turnips 
are substituted ; the sheep receive a few cabbages this month, 
and the horses get a small quantity of steamed turnips, as in 
November, 
January. — Savoy cabbages from No. 4 are now commenced ; 
and a supply is kept cut beforehand as in December. The cows 
obtain two feeds per day, and the young cattle one ; the sheep also 
get a few, and the horses are kept the same as during last month.
