Parsnips are well known as a delicious table vegetable, but their 
value for the purpose of feeding cattle and stock is but little ap- 
preciated. 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 tresh, 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 quality by the con- 
tinued freezing. 
_Sow as early in the spring as the weather will permit, in drills 
15 inches apart and half an inch deep in rich, well-manured ground, 
well dug. 
apart in the rows. To keep well in the ground over winter, draw 
a little earth over the tops.
