CULTURE. -The soil for Turnips should be rich and mellow. Sow In drills from 12 to 18 inches apart, 

 and half an inch deep, or sow broadcast, although much larger crops are obtained by drill culture. When 

 the plants are a few inches In height, and strong enough to resist the attacks of insects, thin them out to 

 some 5 or 6 inches apart in the drills. In this climate we sow from the first of July to September 1. Swede 

 or Ruta Baga Turnips should be sown the first of June, the rows being about 18 inches apart, and the 

 plants In the rows not less than 10 inches. Ruta Bagas are excellent for all kinds of stock, and are re- 

 lished by all. One ounce of seed will sow 200 feet of row.
