Growing Horse.Rad,sh.

III we look through our markets and see the
chunky stuff sold for h0rse-radish, 1t Is clear
that lot one in a hundred knows how to grow
it. Horse-radiSh Wen grown is as profitable as
any garden crop, but we think there is not much
profit In the scrubby stuff referred to. To have
good horse radish, a rather heavy soil should be
chosen. but by no means wet, though one which
gardeners would call damp and cool will be by
10 means objected to. 1t cannot very well be
made too rich, and If subsoiling the ground is
10 find favor 1t will surely be In favor with this
crop.
Now the object in raising good horse -radish IS
to have long, clean, straight roots, and good
culture is to get these. In raising horse radish
every piece Of the root which has little OF the
crown grows. Generally pieces an inch or SO
long are set just beneath the soil, and one or
more buds start up to make crowns with leaves,
and others go down to make root or roots.
These are then forky or twisted and give the
wretched roots we see. The proper way is to
so as to LET the small pieces which are to make
plants go down foot or more Then fill In the
holes and wait. The result is that In a couple
OF months sprout will start upwards to the
surface and this sprout In time becomes the
straight, clean root we have spoken about. The
esconu season after planting they will be in
marketable condition. and should be all taken
up and marketed that season and new plan
IatiOn made in like manner On the same ground.
From the pieces left In the ground by the dig
giDg OF the Old roots many will come up, aud
these are generally relied on to form the sue
ceeding crop; but these sprouts should be hoed
OF as they come and be regarded as nothing but
weeds, which everything that comes up where
= IL is OF wanted is.
In seuipg out, the rows must be made about
eighteen or twenty inches apart, and the pieces
to form roots be planted about four or six inches
apart. The distance, how ever, between the row
IS to be regulated by the method OF culture
Where the pillow Is used to clear out between the
rows, they must be wider than when grown as
garden crop. The richness Of the ground viii
also regulate the distance to put the sets apart.
The richer the ground the closer the sets may
be put.
II these simple hints are followed, one need
never be without a good relish for fish, roast
beei, Or any OF the multitudinous dishes where
little pungency Is not to be despised. But
few have even horse radish enough to supply
FAMILY needs? In trucking, however, it can be
raised with ether things for the market, and as
anything they can take to market, when the
amount of labor and profit is reckoned. Ger
