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.
