CULTURE. Sow six pounds to the acre in rows three 
feet apart, and thin to nine inches in the row. Seed 
should not be sown until the ground is warm and the 
weather fully settled. Shallow planting is desirable be- 
cause the seed germinates more quickly and a larger pro- 
portion will make more vigorous plants than when planted 
deeply. Deeper planting will be required on sand lands or 
when the soil is dry. Cultivation should begin within a 
day or two from planting. Sow one inch deep. Mangels, 
when fed in combination with grain, are worth almost 
as much, pound for pound, as the grain. Experience has 
proved that mangels so aid digestion and assimilation, 
by keeping the animals in a healthy condition, that they 
increase the feeding value of other feeds consumed be- 
sides the nutrients the roots contain. Mangels, when fed 
to cows, materially increase the flow of milk.

CULTURE FOR EARLY CABBAGE. Seed of the early 
varieties should be sown % of an inch deep in a green- 
house, hotbed, or in boxes in the house, about 6 weeks

plants should be removed to the open field and set in 
rows 2 feet apart each way.

in rows one foot apart or broadcast in the garden, about 
the middle of May, and the plants set in the field in June.
