For early use, sow as soon as the ground opens in the spring, in drills from 12 to 15 inches apart ; thin out to 6 or 

 9 inches in the rows; as soon as the first leaves appear, sprinkle with soot, wood-ashes, air-slacked lime, or Slug Shot, to 

 destroy the little black fly, which will devour the plants if not attended to in time. Slug Shot is a certain remedy for 

 the black fly. For a succession, continue to sow every two weeks until June ; for a fall and winter crop, sow in July 

 and August ; do not sow later than the 1st of September. 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 the tops within an inch of the 

 crown, store in a cool cellar or pit, or pile u|) 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 the spring.
