THE TURNIP AND ITS CULTIVATION.
BY J. C. sSELI., EDMONTON, C. W.
1 am going to give you my experience in
turnip culture during the last ten years, on
my father's farm. 1 shall not attempt to
give positive proof that it is a profitable or
paying crop, but I cannot understand how
any one that keeps good stock, and pays
attention to pushing forward young ani
mals, can well do without them. It is true
that if all the labor that must be expended
in its cultivation be taken into account, it
is one of the most expensive crops we
raise, if not the most exjiensive, but it leaves
the land in first rate condition for growing
future crops of any kind. For it must be
well manured to produce a good crop of
turnips, and it must be so well cultivated
that all grasses and weeds are effectually
killed. We can do more injury to Canada
thistles by cultivating turnips than by any
other course. We get a larger amount of
good, succulent feed for stock from the
same quantity of land than we can of any
other crop. We make an immense pile of
excellent manure to keep up the farm, and
our stock is healthier and better for a lib-1
oral supply of roots, besides all this there j
is more real pleasure in working among j
and watching the growth and progress of
a field of turnips than can be derived from
any other crop ; it is really fascinating,and
we consider it by no means an uncertain
crop ; in ten years we have never failed to
get an average crop. This year, 18(54,
in spite of the most severe drouth that the
" oldest inhabitants" has ever experienced,
we have cultivated twenty-six acres, and
never had a better crop. lam quite cer
tain they will average 900 bushels per
acre. This is considered a good crop, but
as high as 1,200 bushels have been grown
in Canada. In this, as in the cultivation of
any crop, a great deal has to be learned by
observation and experience—sometimes
dear bought experience.
A good crop of turnips may be obtained
without the use of artificial or expensive i
manures, by using only good barnyard ma- '
nure ; by this Ido not mean the kind of
manure generally used by our farmers,
such as rotten straw and the droppings of
animals that have been fed on straw, but
manure made from animals that have been
well ted. I think the best time to apply
the manure is in the fall, spread and plowed
under. In this way it keeps the soil open
and loose during the winter, aud becomes
thoroughly mixed with it. But if it is lot
convenient to apply it in the fall, manure
that has been composted during the win
ter, and is well rotted, can be applied in
the same way in the spring. But perhaps
a better way to get immediate benefit from
the manure is to open out drills and spread
the manure in the drills ; then close them
and sow upon the top. This mode requires
more labor, but will perhaps pay for it in
the crop, as the manure is directly under
the plants, and must have a good effect.—
If the land ha£ been plowed in the fall, as
it certa nly should be, it need not be moved
again till most of the spring work is
through, about the last of May, when it
should be plowed, harrowed and rolled,
then let lie for a week or two, so that any
seeds of noxious weeds that may be pres
ent will have time to sprout ; the land
should then be thoroughly worked with the
plow, harrow, cultivator and roller, till it
is fine and loose ; a fine seed bed is of the
greatest importance- If the land is of a
character that will break, it should never
be worked while wet.
The best way to prep tie the land for
sowing is to make it out in drills from 26
to 30 inches apart. ' I think the latter dis
tance preferable, and for this purpose a
double mould-board plow is a great advan
tage. A roller should be passed over the
drills, lengthwise before sowing ; this flat
tens the drills and makes them more solid,
to prevent the seed being deposited to deep.
You may get quite as good a crop by sow
ing and cultivating on the level, but they
are much easier to work in raised drills,
and the horse-hoe can be used sooner with
out injury to the plants. The drill we have
used for sow ing is one of the kind used in
Yorkshire, England, a cumberous machine
drawn by two horses, (sows three drills at
a time,) and has an arrangement for sow
ing dry manure with the seed, which can
be used or not at pleasure. We have sown
a mixture of coal -dust, ashes, bone-dust
and dry swamp muck with very satisfac
tory results. It is certainly a good princi
ple to sow manure with the seed, but it is
rather troublesome. We have never tried
superphosphate, but have no doubt it is a
good thing.
For covering the seed I think a brush is
the best thing ; it may be made of green
branches or boughs drawn through a light
frame of poles ; a roller packs the ground,
and when a shower of rain comes it is apt
to form a crust on the surface, which pre
vents the plants from coming up. 1 think
it better to sow after a shower if possible,
while the ground is damp and the crust
does not form on the surface as it would if
they were sown before a shower, besides
the ground is better for being a little solid,
as the seed does not need to be so deep.
The best time to sow is about the 20th of
.Tune; any time between the 15th and 25th
will do very well, but if the weather, or
other things, are unfavorable to sowing at
that time, I would not be in a hurry. I
have seen a good crop of turnips that were
sown on the 12th of July. We usually
sow about 2 pounds of seed per acre; some
persons sow or 3 pounds. Of course a
much less quantity would be sufficient if it
all grew, but it may not all germinate, or
the fly may come in for a share, and it is
well to have enough, as the additional ex
pense is trifling, besides you have a better
choice of plants in the operation of hoeing
and thinning.
As soon as the plants are large enough,
they must be thinned by striking the hoe
across the drill, cutting out the width of
the hoe, and leaving only one plant in a
place. After a little practice it will never
be necessary to use the hand in separating
the plants, and a good hand can hoe three
quarters of an acre a day. The hoes
should be from 7 to 9 inches wide and
straight in the head, so as* to be used in
pushing from you as well as pulling tow
ards you.
Persons unacquainted with turnip culture
are very apt to fall into the error of leav
ing the plants to thick, but experience
teaches us that under no circumstances
should they be less than nine inches apart,
and 1 think that 12 inches is decidedly pre
ferable. It will be seen in harvesting
that where they are thin they are
much larger, and there is less expense in
harvesting large turnips than small ones.
In the operation of thinning there is room
for the exercise of some good judgment;
care should be taken to select the largest
and healthiest looking plants, and in order
to do this it is better to cut out several
small ones even if it makes a much wider
blank than usual. The soil should be well
moved around every plant so that it will
fall over ; they will hear a good deal of
rough usage, and be better for it. The
crop will pay for being twice handled. The
horse-hoe should be freely used from the
time the plants are large enough for hoeing
till they are too large to admit of its pass
age between the drills lam so well sat
isfied of the benefit of horse-hoeing that I
believe it would pay to run that implement
through them once a week.
The quickest and easiest mode of har
vesting that I know of is to cut the tops off
with hoes ; the hoes should be ground
pretty sharp ; then plow them out, taking
the mould-board off an iron plow for the
purpose ; the plowshare cuts off most of
the roots, and pushes the turnips out of the
ground.
For storing, nothing is better than a eel
lar. A cellar under a drieing house or
barn, with trap doors in the flobr, is very
convenient, and here we use an arrange
ment to prevent the earth from going into
the cellar with the turnips. It is a sort of
grete or riddle made of two pieces of scant
ling or plank ten feet long and two feet
wide, with bars of iron put in crosswise
about 2 inches apart, and two legs bolted
on to one end to elevate it to a slanting po
sition. The turnips are thrown on to this
and roll into# the cellar, while the earth
falls through upon the floor. It is very im
portant to keep the earth from going into
the cellar, as it prevents the circulation of
air among them, and causes them to heat
and rot. Whenever the weather is mild all
the doors and windows should be left open,
as there is more danger from heating than
from freezing where they are stored in such
large masses. If they should heat, it can
be detected by the smell, and in that case
they must be picked over, and the injured
ones removed. If the floors of cellars and
root houses could be constructed of scant
ling or narrow planks placed a couple of
inches apart, so that a current of air could
pass under and up through them, it would
be a great improvement.
When sufficient room in cellars cannot be
provided, they may be kept tolerably safe
in pits. Dig a trench 4 feet wide, and Bor
10 inches deep ; fill in and shape up to a
point ; cover with straw 8 inches deep,and
then about 7 inches of earth, leaving the
top open 6 inches wide, and cover with wide
boards, to throw off" the rain. They should
be taken out of the pits early in the spring
and put in the barn.
For young animals turnips must be
sliced, but cattle and sheep from two years
old aud upwards will eat them very well
without being cut, and are not any more
liable to get choaked. Young sheep, or
sheep that are being fattened, may with
safety be fed all the turnips they can eat,
but it is not good to give a very large sup
ply to breeding ewes. Cows will eat a
bushel and a half a day, but a man must
have plenty to feed at that rate. Hogs
will winter very well on turnips.
The above remarks apply only to Swed

NEGLIGENCE IN AGRICULTURE.
1 think a subject of this kind a very
proper one for your journal, and by point
ing out some of the respects in which so
many of our farmers are negligent, may
prove of more or less use to a large class
of them. I believe farmers lose more by
neglect than by bad cultivation. Let me
notice some of the most common. When
ever I hear a man complain that his land is
overrun with thistles, oxeye daisy, wild
carrot, mustard, narrow leaf dock, Ac., Ac.,
I at once say to hiin that there was a time
when he might have destroyed all of these
noxious weeds by a few minutes labor, but
your neglecting them and passing them by
has proved the old saying that a stitch in
time saves nine. When he first saw that
villainous plant on his land, there was but
one or a dozen of them, and he might have
destroyed them with his hand or hoe or
weed-hook, in a few minutes; but he passed
on, thinking a few of no consequence, un
til at last he found their name was legion.
The next year their seeds are scattered by
the wind over his neat and tidy neighbor's
fields, as well as his own, when once he
might by a few minutes exertion have de
stroyed the whole army
His more tidy neighbor, on whose land a
vicious weed was never allowed to grow,is
out with his weed-hook, trying to extract
the weeds, but finds springing up in all
parts of bis land, weeds that have grown
from seeds blown from your land, and won
ders whence they came. Such a farmer
would to justice to himself and neighbor,
if in his walks over his fields he should
carry in his hand a weed-hook, which is
simple and easily constructed by any one,
by taking a staff the size and shape of a
hoe handle,and putting an old chiseil in one
end and a hook with two or three prongs in
the other, which will enable one to extract
all kinds of noxious weeds; and never allow
one noxious weed to grow a moment after
your discovery of it, and not do as many of
our negligent farmers do when they see a
weed of this kind, say—" I will destroy it
on my return home, or when I get more
time." This is not the way to do. I know
this by experience. If you neglect to de
stroy the weed at once, you will surely not
destroy it at all ; you may not see it again;
you may not return that way ; you will
wait until you have nothing else to do, and
that time will never come ; consequently
your weeds will never be destroyed, and
what will be the result ? They go to seed
—each seed producing its kind and yield
ing 500 seeds ; they grow and go to seed,
and are scattered over the fields, and each
500 seeds produces 500 more in their turn,
and so on until you have millions of weeds
growing on your land. In your walks over
your farm let the staff in your hand be a
well constructed weed-hook ; you can pro
tect yourself as well with such a cane or
staff, as with any other.
This is the true and sure way to rid
yourself of all noxious weeds as soon
as they make their first appearance.
Take them from the beginning and you
will conquor. Farmers are apt to let the
roadside bordering on their land get seeded
down with all kinds of noxious weeds, and
this often accounts for their land first get
ting seeded with weeds. Keep your road
as free from weeds as you would your farm.
ll' taken in time it requires but short time
and little labor, and with an old scythe you
can destroy them or prevent their going to
seed. If a large quantity should be cut,
save them, as they make an excellent litter
for barnyards.
Farmers be particular in draining your
land. A thorough system of draining is
one of the essentials of good farming.—
You lose much valuable time aud land by
allowing water to stand on your land.
Draining thoroughly lengthens the season
for crops Moisture is absolutely necessary
for the growth of plants, but an excess is
injurious.
The subject before me opens such a vast
field for thought, 1 know not where to stop;
but for fear 1 have already taxed your
journal too much, I will bring my remarks
to a close. E. 0. KF.I.SEY. |
