tumn. Thin out the young plants to 
about 6 inches apart, and keep the sur- 
face of the ground open and free from 
weeds. Aside fromits merits as a table * 
vegetable, the Parsnip is one of the} 
best and most economical roots for 
field culture, as it not only produces _ _ 
an abundant and almost certain crop, “= 
but furnishes the most nutritious food 
for cattle, particularly adapted for and 
relished by dairy stock. Itis perfectly 
hardy, and may remain in the ground # 
through the winter; indeed, the fine 
sugary flavor is only perfected by a 
severe frost.

PEAS.

Peas luxuriate in a free, light, rather 
rich soil, abounding with vegetable mat- 
ter, The ground should be manured, if 
possible, the previous autumn; well de- 
composed manure is most suitable, and 
if applied at the time of planting, it 
should be thoroughly mixed with the 
soil, especially in the bottom of the drill. 
Plant the early varieties as soon as the 
ground can be worked, the others in suc- 
cession from April to June. For private 
use they are generally sown in double or 
single rows, in drills about 2 feet apart 
and 3 inches deep, for the dwarf vari- 
eties, and 3 to 4 feet apart and 4 inches 
deep, for the taller varieties. Those 
growing over 2% feet in height should 
be bushed.
