CULTURE.— The following varieties are extensively grown for feed- 

 ing stock and are excellent food to increase the flow of milk. As they 

 grow much larger than the varieties cultivated for table use, they re- 

 quire more room, and should be sown in drills about 2 feet apart. The 

 seeds should be dropped about 2 inches apart in the drills, and when 

 strong enough thinned out to 12 to 15 inches in the row. The long 

 varieties are best suited to a deep soil, and the globe sorts succeed 

 better than the long sorts on sandy soil.
