WORK For TILE MONTH.

and that, II theV were TO turn their at.
tention to their cultivation they would
thereby greatly promote their interest
besides adding much to the comfort Of
their stock. If grown IS cattle feed il
would be well to cultivate the more
hardy kinds among these stands pre-
eminent the Ratabagas, but unless they
be sown in the beginning Of this month,
it will be too late TO grow them with any
prospect OF succee ding in making a
heavy crop--neXt to this variety, may,
perhaps, be ranked Doir'& Uglrid, and
Yellow Aberdeen, and Yellow Stone.
They are hardy and keep we'll till spring.
For table use, the Red-top is our favor
ite,-the Norfolk, will however yield
more. New ground, It is generally
conceded, is bet adaped to the growth of
turnips, probably because Of the abun-
dant supply of potash it finds therein:
the best crop We every grew was upon
an old pasture, which had been used as
such for the space Of - years,--The
soil was a deep sandy loan, and had at
the time pretty fair sward of grass
upon it, which after broadcasting over
it liberal dressing of manure, we
ploughed in fully S inches IN depth,
narrowed and rolled, then applied a
lighter dressing Of well rotted barn and
stable manure, then ploughed 1t in 4 in
ches deep, narrowed, and cross.harrow-
ed, rolled, sowed the seed, top-dressed
with mixture of 10 bushels of ashes,
of plaster and : Of salt per acre, harrow
ed the seed in lightly with light one
horse harrow, and completed the work
by rolling. When the plants first came
up we sprlnklrd them over with fish oil,
each morning, early, until they got into
the rough leaf strewed a bushel of plas-
ter and ) bushels OF salt per acre, over
them when they got INTO rough leaf.
When they had joHlcd, as the phrase is,
and the roots had got to be about the
size Of a walnut, We ran the cultivator
through them, with the double purpose
of working and thinning them. In "A
week or 10 days, We worked them with
the hoe, thinning them out, so as to
stand from $ to ~ inches, and in about
the same length of time, gave them a fl
