Culture Of Carrots.

| For the last xix years have raised more
or less carrots or feeding to my stock in
winter and early spring. when Grt
planted them in the fields, some OF my neigh
bors shook their heads, and graycly told mo
that my time and labor would be thrown
away. As the season proved wctand favor
able 10 the growth Of weeds, found it din
cult to kccpthc "wcc hits " Of carrots 'nii.
cicnty ahead to give them fair chance,
and began 70 think my venerable friends
correct in their opinions. Imagine my sur.
prise at finding my crop yielding at the rate
Of six hundred bushels Per acrr, and not
half attended 20 at that.
Sometime after the above trial, saw in
the Cultiyator, an account of their being
raised on inverted green sward, with much
less trouble aud expense. Being little in.
clIuci to ab1r-saying, ! tried the plan not,
however. until last summer. The sol was

ery farmer should have q house for keeping
his farm implements. 1t should be tish,
ana dry and adapted for repairing, alter
ing, cleaning and sharpening them. Every
implement, when not required for use, should
have ITS proper place, and before it Is laid
past f1r winter. all the bright metal belong
ius to il, should be carefully dried and well
CREASED, to prevent rusting. Rustisavipcr
which poisons the farmers purse many
farmers allow their rlows, harrows, and
cultiyatorsso rus. and rot in thc corners Of
orcn, damp sheds, during six months of the
year, and they seem surprised that ,hcir
implements do not last longer. Al farm
implements, after having been used during
the spring, summer aud fall, should have
their wood work painted, also their coarse

About the middle Of April is a good time to
sow, and at least three bushels Of seed
should be used. In England as much as
four, sometimes five bushels, are sovn. The
crop should be harvested quite green, both
to prevent the grain from shedding IN the
