most 



Sow in rows 1 foot apart and 1 inch apart in the row. 

 seed is slow to germinate, and should be given the 

 favorable conditions. A deep, rich, loamy soil is required. 

 For winter use a few plants placed in a box in the cellar 

 will give a supply.

PARSNIPS 



I 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.
