GROWING PARSNIPS.

MEssRs. EDToRs-Having had some little
experience in raising parsnips, in a small
way, with very satisfactory results, both in
regard to growing and feeding them, and
having seen but very little in regard to
others experience with this root in this
country, though often favorably mentioned
in the agricultural journals. have thought
that short chapter on their management
might hot be without interest or benefit to
some Of your readers.
first commenced raising parsnips for
the table and finding that could raise
them with comparatively little trouble,
soon began to raise them to sell in the
neighboring village markets This led to
sowing them in drills, i'll the same way and
at the same distance apart that carrots and
turnips are usually sown but with this
difference they should be sown earlier
as soon as the ground is dry and warm, and
in good condition for the seed to GERM.
nate, is probably the best time | soon
found that could raise parsnips as easily
and cheaply as any other kind of roots, for
the following reasons:
They have broader leaf, and are more
easily distinguished from weeds when they
first come up, and at the first hoeing than
carrots and not being troubled by any i'll
sects, they grow and come forward much
faster than turnips and carrots, making less
trouble to tend them when small, while they
much sooner get the start of weeds They
make a much more rank and vigorous
growth, and much sooner and more com,
pletely cover the ground than carrots OF
turnips thus requiring very little atten-
tion after they have fairly got to growing
and the leaves cover the ground. The WELD
has averaged good deal larger, often from
40 to SO per cent more than carrots or tur
nips. have usually raised the large Dutch
to feed
They keep we'll in the ground through
the winter, but will commence growing
very early in the spring but then if gath
cred, they will wilt and dry up worse than
any other kind Of roots so that it is prob
ably best to dig but a few bushels at a
time to feed, until it is necessary to clear
the ground, as they will keep as well in the
ground if they do commence growing, as
they will out. If gathered in the fall, they
should be fed out fast, as other roots keep
much fresher and better
Feedjng-I find that horses, cattle and
hogs are all fond of parsnips but | have
generally fed them to cows and hogs
When feeding them to cows, we find that
We get as much milk and butter as when
We feed carols ; but though sweet and
good flavor, the butter will not be ouite so

will make as handsome butter in the win.

CLEANING RooTs BEFORE FEEDING--Roots
are usually fed to horned cattle without
cleaning, and although we cannot now
point directly to any case of disease as the
result of such feeding, yet it must be evil
dent that the dirt consumed is of no bcne
fit, but on the contrary is more or less in
furious. We would always prefer that the
roots be cleaned before feeding. and this
can be easily affected by root cleaner,
which any farmer can construct in a few
hours. The most simple device for this
purpose is an OctagOn box revolving on
gudgeons and turned with a crank, similar
to machines for cleaning castings used at
the foundries. 1t may be made to hold two
or three bushels, and is constructed by TAX
ing two pieces of plank for the ends. and
saving them into octagons two feet four
inches in diameter On these sides strips
of boards, two and a half feet long and
ten inches wide, are nailed, leaving a space
or opening at the corners of an inch or so
wide, for the dirt to drop out. One of the
sides is on hinges, and is used as a place
for introducing the roots. 1t is then hung
upon gudgeons, Oh one of which is fitted a
crank. Two bushels of roots may be
thrown i'll at time when they are cleansed
by slowly revolving the box, few turns
being sufficient to wear off the dirt, leaving
the roots clean as if they had been wash
ed. 1t is simple affair." which any farmer
can make in few hours, and to those who
grow roots for stock feeding, will save
many days of disagreeable work, while the
health of stock must be promoted by its
use Utica Herald
