“ Experience teacheth wiedom" says the proverb; I have at least gained experience fiom the Jate esSay, and to avoid Jast year's. error, 1 have this Season pursued a different COUTSE which promises to answer better, and which I now Submit to, ihe consideration of your readers. In the month of March last, 1 5owed the common purple bore-cole of the garden, on beds well manured for that purpose, and in April I planted them out, as belorte, in my turnip field, having previously* dunged the land intended for their reception. I last week. disposed of the produce, which quite equalled my expectations„A in this manner I first laid a mall incJosyre, now a Pease stubble,(and intended for turnips next year,) into six-furrow.- ridges, thus giving it the usual autumn ploughing, varying however the customary flat Surface into a ridged form. Into tbe alternate mould-fürrows, 1. e. at about eight feet distance between the rows, I carried the plants, Jaying them down im regular order, about two feet azunder, and then Ploughed one or two deep furrows over their roots, their erowns resting; ypon the tops of the adjoining ridges.

The advantages 1 propoge to reap from this method, are briefßfy these

1. 1 have here a fund of excellent food in store, for Sheep or any cattle, wel] Secured.'

2, 1 have no incumbrance remaining on the land where it grew, to hinder it from being cultivated in due.time, nor is it exhausted by the extraordinary demand of nutriment which all kind of vegetables require at that particular time.

3. My ewes and lambs will have füll leizure to browse upon the sprouts, as long as tbey will last, and the- intermediate: Space may be in cultivation mean while for zurnips, without he least inconvenience.

4. By thus placing the plants in an inclosed pozition all winter, their crowns will run less hazard, of ipjury.from frost; 88 they will in a great measure be covered with snow. Ofthe utility of this plan every gardener is aware, when be lays his brocoli down ſor the Same purpose« 1 shall,in the Same man« ner alter the danger is over, gently raise the tems upright, and plough another furrow on the otber Side, to keep them in that position, that they may have full room to Sprout and branch forth on eAher Side.

And, 5thly, My grass will thus receive no check by being turn ed to, in tov early a Stage, and wil] become Sufficiently forward by the time the brocoli is all consumed. Nay 1 bad last year
