P PARSNIP —Pastinake 
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 fiow of milk as greatly as does the use of 
fresh, green food in the spring. It is especially valuable 
for the purpose from its extreme hardiness, as the roots 
can be left in the ground all winter and improve in qual- 
ity by the continued freezing. . 
1 oz. to 150 feet of drill. 
Sow as early in the spring as the 
weather will permit, in drills fifteen 
inches apart and half an inch deep; 
in rich, well-manured ground, well 
dug. Cultivate similar to Carrots, 
and thin out to six inches apart in 
the rows. To keep well in the 
ground over winter, draw a little 
earth over the tops.
