CTJIiTUBZ:. — This delicious and nutritious vegetable is not appreciated as it should 

 be. Properly cooked, it is a great delicacy. Tts feeding- qualities for stock are excellent. 

 A sandy soil is best, but any good rich soil will produce good crops. Sow in early spring 

 and fall in rows fifteen to eighteen inches apart and thin to three to four inches, accord- 

 ing to size or variety. Cover the seed only half an inch and give careful cultivation 

 throug-hout the season. They may be eaten either when a half inch or so in diameter or 

 when fully grown. 2% lbs. to the acre.
