Root crops are a great necessity for all kinds of stock, also chickens. Root feeding gives tissue 
building substance to the body, and acts as a tonic, keeping the digestive organs in a healthy condi¬

creased weight, and will enrich and increase the milk. The ground should be thoroughly prepared and 
made firm and mellow. Sow in April and May in drills 2 to 3 feet apart. When 4 to 5 inches ’high
