REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
ROOTS.
To the Members Of the Windsor County
AgriculiNraL SocietN.

To the Members ofth Windsor County
Agricultural Society.
Your Committee on Roots regret TO re-
port the very small number of Vegetables
that were presented for the soclely's pre-
MUM. They regret this the more, because
they regard this department as very i'm
porlant one in this county.
When they take into consideration tina,
we have more than 100000 sheep, and
10000 cattle that range on our hills and
through our Wales, and that all these must
be fed as much as five months in year
on dry fodder, it is to your committee
a subject of much regret, that our indus
lrious farmers do not appreciate the I'M
portance of the cultivation of roots, as u
change of fodder, when nature has deprlv-
ed our hocks of all green substance. To
us it seems iadispensibly necessary, in Or
der TO insure their health and strength dur
ing winter 10 supply them well with roots.
No good farmer should neglect the culli-
vation of roots, when a reasonable pros
pee, ola fair return offers itself TO the
mind. Roots as change of fodder for
stock, in winter, cannot willingly be dis
pensed with by the farmer who has expert
ence in the matter. We hope yet TO see
Windsor County become famous for the
cultivation of roots, its soil and climate are
highly adapted for their growth.
The committee awarded the socie'y's
frs, premium on Ruta Bagas to Nathan
Gushing of oodstock. In his commu-
nication he gives an expose of the man
ner of cultivation, soil, product, sc. He
says the land cultivated contained 1913
square rods of loan soil, it had been
moved a years in succession, and his last
crop of hay was less than one ton per a.
ere. The first of May he spread from 20
to IS cart loads of manure, and plowed
the same under. Previous to sowing the
seed, spread 10 loads OF compost, and vel
