PARSNIP — Pastinake 



Parsnips are well know 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. 



1 oz. to 150 feet of drill. 



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.
