THE FINEST MARKET AND FAMILY VARIETIES.

 One ounce of seed for 250 feet of drill. Two to three pounds in drills for an acre. 

 This wholesome and agreeable veg'etable is most easily affected in its form and flavor by soil. < limate and mode of culture. There 

 are a sreat many varieties, but I have selected the following as best for the garden or farm. Sow in drills fourteen Inches apart and 

 one-quarter inch deep, or sow broadcast, but in either case be sure and have ground rich and freshly dug. Be careful to weed and thin 

 out, so the young plants will not be checked and injured. Any overcrowding will result in rough and poor flavored fruit. For spring 

 and summer crops it is important to get them started very early so they may have time to grow sufiBcient size before hot weather, 

 when they soon become tough and strong. For fall and main crop, sow in the Middle and "Western states from the middle of July to 

 the last of August, as directed for spring sowing. In the field, turnips are generally sown broadcast, though largercrops are obtained 

 by drill cu'ture. To preserve Turnips in good order for winter use, store them in barrels placed along side the wall of a cool cellar, 

 and cover them with sand or turf to keep them fresh. Another method is to put them in a cellar or dry pit. cover with straw and earth 

 to the depth of eight or ten inches. Thus protected they will keep very well until spring. For feeding stock in fall and winter there 

 is nothing superior to Turnips and Ruta Bagas, and they will yield a larger amount of food than almost anything else, on the same 

 space of around, I cannot to earnestly commend farmers to increase their sowings largely, for no crop will prove more renumerative.
