CULTURE. — For early use, sow as soon as ground opens in spring, in drills fron 12 to 15 inches apart; thin out to 6 or 9 

 inches in the rows. For succession, continue lo sow every two weeks until June ; for fall and winter crop, sow in July and August. 

 The Ruta Bagas are grown for feeding stock, and are also excellent for the table. Take up the roots in November or before severe 

 frosts; cut off tops within an inch ot the crown, store in cool cellar or pit, or pile up in a conical form, out of doors in diy 

 ground; cover carefully with long straw, and finish by eaithing up, covering them with about 12 or 15 inches of earth, leaving a 

 trench aronnd the heap to carry off the water. Put away in this manner they will be found in good condition in spring.
