COST OF ROOTS.

We have often published articles which show
that roots are very cheap food for stock L."
n communication IN our last IL Is stated tnat
crop of ruta baga cost only six cents busheb
the cost of another crop was eight, us slatea III
the proceeding article. Col. Meachams crop
of carrots at $50 for thousand bushels, cost
only 3 cents per bushe A correspondent of
she Yankee Farmer, in previous volume states
that his English Flat Turneps cost him only a
cents per bushel. .'.
Ia some cases turneps may be raised among
corn at very small expense. If the corn grows
stout, and continues growing till late, the crop
of turneps would be light; but if the corn he
very early it might be cut up, or the stalks mig Int
he cut in season to let in the sun and give
good growth to the lurneps and even the large
late corn will in long warm season ripen early
enough to allow turneps sown among it 10 at
tain good growth.
On the expense of root crop we can make
no estimate that will he suited to all parts Of the
country and 10 every kind of soil. In some
sections of the country manure and the rent OF
land are valued twice rs high as they nre in
others. In different places there is difference
in the price of labor. Some pieces Of land may
be worked with half the labor that will he ne
cessary on others, and some lots will produce
twice as much as Others
Roots will not probably cost on an average
more than 8 cents per bushel. An acre fground
in good condition and well cultivated will pro
,luce GOO bushels, mt cents per bushel they will
pay AZ dollars for raising. This would allow q
good price for the rent of land and for manure,
and pay well for labor .f
The Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1837-1867, 1839-05-28

The above estimate is surely high enough, take
one part OF the country with another. 1.-THE
land he not rich, and more manure be applied, it
will he sufficiently improved by the liberal dress
ing to pay all the cost over ten dollars excepting
where manure is high. The leaves from ruta
baga and beets are of considerable value, and
even the tops OF carrots good for sheep and
hogs Yankee Farmer.
The Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1837-1867, 1839-05-28

SHEEP. The English require vast amount
of wool for their manufactures, and much of
the finest sort; yet their finest wool is all import
ed from Germany and Spain. There are few
Merino or Saxony sheep in England, and the
reason why they are not introduced is because
their mutton is not good A very large
proportion OF the meat consumed in England is
muiton; and the best kinds of sheep for this are
the Bakewell, or Dishley, or Leicester breed,
one breed being known by all these names; and
the Soulli Downs said TO be the native sheep OF
Britain. The South Downs is the common
sheep first brought to America from England,
and may be known by their smooth faces and
legs, covered with black or grey hairs.
The Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1837-1867, 1839-05-28

Extraordinary Coacs Great efforts are made
in some sections OF the country TO improve the
breed ofhorned cattle and horses, bnt too little
attention is paid to mich cows.-Why farmer
or any other person should he willing Ito keep
an unproductive ANIMAL when a far more pro-
ductive one would cost no more for its support,
is wretched species OF political economy. The
value OF piece of ground is in proportion to its
products, and the actual worth ola COW is predi-
Gated upon the quality and goodness of the milk
she yields. Therefore it is the worst folly 10
feed a poor animal at the same expense required
to support a good cow. The original outlay
may be more, but in the end the increased yield
will greatly augment the owners profits. Mr..
Colman's Second Report mentions some superb
or cows in Berkshire, some of which can be e.
gualed in Hampshire
Mr. s. ID. Colt of Pitts6eld has COW whose
milk yielded 1913 pounds of butter in 14S days.
MIR Merrill, has one which gives 80 beer quarts
daily. Mr. Fem Of Stockbrde has COW eight
years old, which has produced in one week IL
