PARSNIPS 
1 ounce to 150 feet of drill. 
Parsnips are well known as a delicious table vegetable but their value for the purpose of feeding cattle and stock is but 
little appreciated. The parsnip is rich in saccharine food which adds greatly to the richness of the milk when fed to cows, 
while the fresh, succulent roots 
increase the flow of milk as greatly 
as does the use of fresh, green food 
in the spring. It is especially valu- 
able for the purpose from its extreme 
hardiness, as the roots can be left in 
the ground all winter and improve in 
quality by the continued freezing.
