Parsnip 



1 oz. 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 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 continued 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. Cultivate similar to 

 Carrots, and thin out to 6 Inches apart in the rows. To 

 keep well in the ground over winter, draw a little earth 

 over the tops.
