The RutabaQa Crop.

The Germantown Telegraph says: Some
of our best farmers annually put in an acre
or two of rutabagas, and then lay up Tor
winter supply of good succulent food
that comes into use when they are obliged
in great measure to depend upon dry
food only. When the bagas are chopped
up with little corn meal or bran, they are
eaten eagerly by COWS and steers, and are
not only fattening and milk producing, but
extremely wholesome. They are raised as
easily as a crop of ordinary turnips in
drills. The ground must be we'll prepared
and MANFRED deeply, the rows struck about
thirty inches apart and the seed drilled in.
When up two or three inches, the plants
should be thinned out, removing the weak
est to four or five inches apart, and thor.
oughly cleared of weed. The cultivation
SHOULD be passed through once or twice
carefully. In three or four weeks more
another thinning out should take place al
lowing the plants to stand from eight tC
ten inches apart.
The hoe should be freely used between
the plants and the cultivator between thu
rows. Frequent stirring of the ground il
indispensable in the production Of a large
crop. They are not removed from thu
ground before November We have know
eight hundred bushels to be raised to thu
acre, and have heard of twelve hundred
bushels.
The seed should be put in the groun'
from the 18th to the 2Sth of June. A so'
broken up the previous autumn is perhap
the best for this crop.
