TURNIPS* Slcckrilbe, Ger. Navet, Fr. Naho Comun, Sp. 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; as soon a-s the first leaves appear, sprinkle with soot, wood-ashes, air-slacked 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 hliick fly. For a succession, continue to sow every two weeks until June ; for a fall and winter crop, sow in July ami .-Vugiist; do not sow later than the 1st of September. The Ruta Bagas are grown for feeding stock, and are also excellent for the table.
