V. I. P. 167. Mr. Ayer Steward to Mr. Ellerker near Hull has cultivated Cabbages these four years, he sows the large Scotch Cabbages the latter end of February, pricks them out once before they are set in the field. He never gives a whole years fallow for them, only from November till the beginning of June which is the time of planting them; he manures for them with 10 loads of yard dung. The large strong plants he sets directly from the Seed bed in the field. His rows are three feet asunder and the plants two feet in the rows; he never waters them but once. One Man plants an Acre in three days. He horse hoes them once, twice or thrice, according as the weeds rise; begins to cut the end of November, and has found them last to the end of April. He generally uses them for fattening of Oxen; both for finishing the large ones of 70, 80, and 90. Stone (14 lb) that have been fatting through the Summer, and also for the total fatting of others of 36 and 40 Stone taken lean from work in November, put directly to Cabbages and made fit for the Butcher by the middle of April; and he prids them to carry the beasts forward in an excellent manner. They are stalled in an house, and have a little hay every day. Doubting whether this food was sufficient for finishing a large Ox I repeated my enquiries, and he assured Me, he had sold Oxen from Cabbages at 23 £. each. An Acre of Good plants has compleatly fatted two beasts of 36. Stone each.
