This identical field has been turniped before, and to good account, in a favourable winter.

The Leicesters and half-breds are purchased by farmers who keep no breeding stock: they are well turniped during the winter, and clipped and fattened in the following season.

This system of turniping is found to encourage the growth and muscular development of young stock.
