and express wagons. Most of the gates on the farm were rehung to enable 
them to swing clear of the ground. The pumping boiler and that of the 
ortable engine were opened and cleaned and put in thorough order. At the 
blacksmith's shop, in addition to the usual horseshoeing, scrapers were made for 
cleaning out the boilers, and ploughs, harrows, mowing machines, and other 
implements were repaired.

SWEDES AT WESTBROOK. 
Our illustration gives a very good idea of the crop of swedes harvested 
during August at the Westbrook State Farm. The particulars of the crop and 
its cultivation have been supplied to us by the manager, Mr. C. Ross. ‘The 
yariety is Anderson’s Purple Top. The soil in which they were grown isa 
loose, volcanic, brown loam, overlying rotten rock, which had previously been 
under lucerne. ‘The seed was sown on 16th March to the amount of 13 lb. 
per acre, which was the least quantity which could be distributed owing to the 
want of a turnip drill. ; 
The drills were 3 feet apart, and the plants were subsequently thinned out 
to 16 inches in the rows. The only manure used was 4 ewt. of bonemeal sown 
with the seed—not with the idea of increasing the weight of roots by any 
eee cable amount, but simply to give the seedlings a fillip into the rough 
eat.* 
When the seedlings were quite small, they were thinned out with the hand 
hoe, and afterwards, when well into the rough leat, the crop was singled out by 
hand. 
The cultivation consisted in horse-hoeing three times between the drills. 
* The previous crops of lucerne doubtless enriched the land to some extent.—Ed. Q.A.J.
