FIELD BEETS FOR STOCK FEEDING 



Grown for stock feeding, they form very wholesome and nutritious food. Of special 

 value for feeding to cows, as they greatly increase the flow of milk. The seed should be dropped 

 about 2 inches apart, in drills 2 feet apart, and the plants thinned so that there will be 12 to 

 IG inches between them. From tive to eight pounds of seed are required to sow an acre.

 and white flesh, Hud grow partly above ground.

CABBAGE SEED 



Seed sown in hotbed or greenhouse about February 15 will give plants large enough to 

 transplant into hotbeds about March 10. Set 

 them 2 to 3 inches apart each way, and as 

 soon as they become well established remove 

 the glass for part of the day, to harden them 

 for final transplanting into 



Swiss Chard, Lucullus (see page 



the open ground, increasing 

 the exposure daily until 

 April 10 or 20, when the final 

 transplanting may be made. 

 Plants for this early crop 

 need not stand further apart 

 than 114 X 2 feet. For late 

 crops sow tbe seed in April 

 or May, and transplant to 

 the open around when large 

 enough, setting the plants 

 up to file first leaf, and 2x3 

 feet apart. It is important 

 that the plants should not 

 stand thick in the seed-beds, 

 as this would induce weak, 

 slender plants. To insure 

 large, solid heads of Cab- 

 bage, the soil must be plowed 

 deep and made very rich. 

 The insects which molest 

 them should be kept in check 

 with remedies which seem 

 most efficacious in the local- 

 ity. Crops of Cabbage should 

 not be grown on the same 

 ground for a number of 

 years on account of tendency 

 to club-root.
