and a half feet long and commencing three |
inches at one end, bore an inch and half |
hole once in two feet, which will give five |
holes. Now hew out some pieces two to |
three inches wide and drive into the holes |
leaving them to project six to eightlnches. |
These are the markers. Put some hand
les in the opposite side to hold 1t by. Now
take pair of shafts and lash the crOssbar
to the stick in the right position and your
marker is ready for operation. This will
make five rows at once and make them the
right distance apart, and will make mark
sufficiently deep for the use OF any OF the
commercial fertilizers in the hill And
here | would say that good superphos-
phate applied at the rate of a large tea
spoonful to the hill, (which would be from
three to four hundred pounds to the acre)
is the best fertilizer for the turnip that
have ever used, and has never failed with
me to much more than pay its cost upon
this crop. This should be dropped iii the
rows fifteen inches apart, and covered with
dirt. Don't put them less than twelve on
any account, then drop the seed and cover
half an inch deep with fine soil. When L
have used superphosphate l have never
been troubled with the fly; whether on ac
count of the disagreeable oder, or from the
fact that it gives the turnips a very quick
and vigorous start am unable to say but
II: IL, l. - :. -, 7 1
not know but the fly sometimes troubles
turnips where superphosphate is used, but
only give my own experience and would
recommend the application Of dry ashes
spoken of by Mr.. Leverett as before quot
ed. A word about seed. This should be
Of some of the best varieties, among which
is 'Skirving's improved rutabagas," 10
rings improved" 'Sweet German" lin
den Swede," &c, any of which may be pro-
cured by enclosing at the rate Of one dol
lar pound to Jas. II. Gregory OF Marble
head, Mass, or any other seed man prob
ably, when the seed will be returned by
next mail. About pound of seed to the
acre is necessary. A very convenient meth
cd of dropping the seed, is to take a large
mouthed vial, "a pepper box or mustard
cup makes good one, and having piece
Of thick paper, burn with a hot wire some
five or six holes large enough to admit Of
the passage of the seed. Then after filling
the bottle with seed, tie the paper over it,
having the holes come over the mouth Of
the bottle Of course This NAV be taken
