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

 in the rows. For succession, continue to so- • every two weeks until June; for fall and winter crop, sow in July and August. The 

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

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

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

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