TURNIPS 
CULTURE.\The value of Turnips and Ruta Bagas for feeding stock in Fall and 
Winter is not fully appreciated as they are much liked by all kinds of stock and serve 
to keep them in good condition. They should not be fed, however, in large quantities 
to milch cows, or the flavor of the mill will be disagreeably affected. We recommend 
that farmers increase their sowings largely, for we are sure the crop will prove re- 
munerative for stock feeding as well as for table use when the roots are comparatively 
small. 
Both of these wholesome vegetables are very easily affected in their form and flavor 
by soil, climate and mode of culture. The Turnip plant is distinguished from the Ruta 
Baga by its rougher leaves: the root usually matures earlier and is smoother. 
For Summer use, sow early in Spring in light, rich or new soil, in drills one and 
one half to two feet apart according to the size of the variety and cover one half inch 
deep, or sow broadcast, but in either case be sure to have the ground rich and freshly 
stirred. Thin out early and keep free from weeds so that young plants will not be 
checked in growth. Any over-crowding will result in rough and poorly flavored roots. 
It is important to get the Spring and Summer crop started very early so that the 
turnips may have time to grow to sufficient size before hot weather causes them to
