Produce and Gathering. It produces in ordin- 

 ary seasons on rich alluvial, or other deep friable 

 soils, from forty to seventy bushels of seeds, de- 

 termined in quantity, very much, by the accuracy 

 of tillige and the condition and nature of the land. 

 Great care and precision are necessary in harvest- 

 !n;j the seeds in June or .luly, of the year succeed- 

 ing that in which they are sown. When the pnds 

 assume a brownish cast, and some of the seeds 

 become black, the crop is reaped with sickles —

when carried too green, they are liable to be 

 heated. At the proper time they must be thresh- 

 ed in the field upon old sails or cloths, to which 

 the crop should be carried on sledges, prepared 

 with cloths, or by similar means. The seeds must 

 bo carefully spread in small quantities in grana- 

 ries or on barn floors, and be occasionally moved. 



Use. Sheep and neat cattle are extravagantly 

 fond of It — but of all plants, perhaps it is the most 

 likely to cause them to be blown. 



There is much difTercnce of opinion as to its 

 nutritive properties in the green state. I believe 

 that it quite equals Ihe common cabbage, and very 

 far e.voeeds turnips of all kinds in the quantity of 

 nutrition it contains — in tlie value of the oil for 

 various manufacturing purposes, and the excel- 

 lence of the cake after it has been expressed, for 

 cattle food and the manure of drill crops, no ques- 

 tion can be entertained. 



It is not a certain crop — as if is exposed to all 

 the enemies which attack turnips and cabbages — 

 and is liable to be injured at the season of blos- 

 soming by mildew, and sometimes by frosts. 



INSECTS. 

 It is now time to be on the alert to guard your 

 garden vegetables against bngs, flies and other in- 

 sects without name or number. There have been 

 recipes for the purpose published in this, and oth- 

 er agricultural works, such as decoction of elder, 

 of aloc.o, of tobacco, snufT, quick lime, lime water, 

 biimstone, unleached ashes, tar water, water im- 

 pregnated with turpentine, plaster of Paris finely 



if desirerl, at a reasonable charge.
