(;i'L'ruRK.âI'iirsnips succeed best in a deep, free, rich soil, and as the apjilication of fresh manure tends to the production of forked and badly formed roots, ground in higli condition from liaving been heavily manured lor the previous crop .should be selecteil, and if manure must be ap- lilied for this crop let it l)e well decomposed, or use guano. The ground should be trenched two feet ; inches, ami ridged up in the Kail before sowing. Sow in lines tifleen to eighteen indies apart, as in Spring as the ground can be found in fair working condition, scattering the .seeds tliinly, and covering half an inch to one inch with the tinest of the soil. When the [ilantji are about two or three inches higli. thin them out, leaving si.\ or eight inches between them. Keep the grounil free from weeds, and tlie surface open by freiiuent deep stirrings with the hoe. The roots are hardy, and improve by leaving in llie ground through the Winter, taking only enough in the cellar to last during cold weatJier. They are very valuable for feeding cattle, as well as for the table. One ounce will sow two hundred i'eel of row; tive pounds to the acre. JVcl. Oz. iiLb. Lb.
