Culture.— Sow in drills or broadcast. Ttie naain sowing is usually in July or 

 August, as a second crop. The seeds should be about half an inch under the sur- 

 ■ face of the soil. Thin to 4 or 5 inches in the row. Well cultivated crops in drills 

 will be far larger than broadcasted crops. Ruta Bagas or Swedish turnips or Swedes should be 

 planted a mouth earlier than common turnips, and thinned to 6 or 8 inches in the row. Store in 

 heaps covered first with straw and then with earth in the open field during winter. Use -l pounds of 

 ■.seed to acre in drills or 2>^ pounds broadcast.
