Thill to eight or ten inches, and then pull out each alternate root 

 for use, when half grown. Rutabagas or Swedes do best sown 

 from the 10th to the 20th of July, in the same manner, though a 

 few may be sown in April for early use. Like the carrot, if more 

 are raised than wanted in the kitchen, they will find a ready 

 market at the barn. Use plenty of seed to feed the little black 

 beetles and still have plants enough left. Make the soil rich and 

 light.

 invaluable to the farmer, or to any person who cultivates the
