PARSNIPS
I ounce to 150 feet of drill.
Parsnips are well known as a delicious table vegetable, but
their value for the purpose of feeding cattle and stock is but
little appreciated. The parsnip is rich in saccharine food,
which adds greatly to the richness of the milk -nhen fed to
cows, while the fresh, succulent roots
increase the flow of milk as greatly
as does the use of fresh, green food
in the spring. It is especially valu-
able for the purpose from its extreme
hardiness, as the roots can be left in
the ground all winter and improve in
quality by the continued freezing.
