that eight drills to the nal acres is quite
enough. Some are Le opinion that tut -
nips should be given sale seven drills to
the rod. while others clam that eight is
better. In our opinion depends upon
soil and cultivation, but generally
ing, we would incline to 7; to 8 o ri to
the rod for turnips, aria mangolds and
carrots; with the proviso that thorough
cultivation be always understood. as well
as manuring an ting. nen these
matters are not y followed seven
drills to the rod would certainly be
enough for turnips. (1f course if you
can get for soil a dark lam from black
ash, ploughed deep and salted, nine
drills might be given toter withad-
vantage for mango/cis, an carrots especi-
al) but takingour generalrun ofsoils
andwith the proviso thatdeep cultiva-
tion and heavymanuring is given, eight
drills to the rd willgive the t results
all round. In a number of instances both
man olds and carrots had evidently been
thinned out Gm much; carrots require
but little thinning compared with turnips
and mangolds. Soil for note should be
well drained and deep ploughed. In

liberal dressing of salt on muck or sandy

Salt is not desirable on a heavy clay as
it helps to bake the land but on other
