This wholesome vegetable should be one of our main farm productions, for family use as well as for cattle and sheep. 



It delights in a light, rich, sandy loam, which has been well manured. 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, or sow broadcast. As 

 soon as the first leaves appear, sprinkle with soot, wood-ashes, air-slaked 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. 



As Turnips are grown for consumption during the winter, a few brief hints for their preservation are necessary. 

 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 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 

 dampness ; leave a vent or air-hole, by placing a bunch of straw in the top. Put away in this manner they will be 

 found in good condition in the spring.
