nutritious than turnips. but they cost

range OF country a. the several varieties
oi iurnips. The section or group Of sorts
known under the general head of yuta-
bAgas are perhaps a little richer than the
late or fiat turnips.' as they are usually
called; sill, the latter grow 80 freely
and mature 20 quickly, that farmers Us
uAlly prefer them TO any other variety,
AMI they can also be sown upon land
from which some early crop has been
gathered.
Wheat, rye, or oat stubble may be
turucd under soon after harvest, and if
the land i not rich q slight top-drcssing
OF manure is advisable, after which tul-
nips may be sown broadcast and a good
crop secured. Ii is now time to prepare
land for 4 crop of Fall turnips. and we

in the country who has not, al this mo-
mcnt, plenty of land upon which sup
ply OF these valuable roots may be
grown before the ground freezes in the

his cattle next Winter will he made

Spring in better condition if given all
the turnips they will eat, than If they

give H. before sowing or at the time, top
dressing OF i've or six bushels OF salt per
