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. The roots can be left in the ground all 

 winter and improve in quality by the continued freezing.
