Beets and Carrots.

THOSE farmers who raise these crops
for winter feed for stock, if they have
continued the practice for number OF
years, need no arguments to convince
them Of the economy and value of root
crops. The yield per acre Of either beets
or carrots when put in at the proper sea-
son on ground rightly prepared and suit
ed to their wait ;, is enormous, when COM
pared with most other crops. AS fed
for farm houses in winter-a season when
they are comparatively idle, we would
purfer to feed on half carrots, to all oats
or corn, and as with proper culture 500
to 1000 bushels per acre of carrots can
be raised on any soil that is rich, deep
and light. the saving to the farmers will
be at once perceived. We speak from
long experience when we urge upon farm
ers the importance of paying more atten-
ton to this crop, every where else more
highly valued than at the West. Ami
mails are as much benefited by eating
such vegetables in winter as are human
beings their health is always improved
by change and variety in their daily diet
The great reason why SO many farmers
are dissatisfied with their attempts to raise
these and like crops, is mainly the result
of careless culture. To raise fine crops
of beets or carrots they should be careful
" thinned out and the cultivator run
through the rows once fortnight at least,
from tie time the rows can be seen until
frost comes. In a season of drouth it will
pay to double the dose. Let us hear from
the few farmers who do grow these crops
successfully.

Plant White Turnips.

We repeat our advice to you, farmers,
to plant turnips. You will need all your
spare corn-you that have any to spare
to feed your hogs and horses for the oat
crop will amount to nothing. A vast
amount of hay has been damaged your
straw will be of an inferior quality, and
what substitute have you, except turnips :?
By all means plant in drills, and we would
recommend the white varieties. Broad
cast sowing does not pay. Halfa pound
will seed an acre. Those who have not
already planted their turnips, should
choose piece of mellow ground harrow
it thoroughly, make burrows from twenty
to thirty inches apart, and cover with a
brush-letting the horse walk between
the rows. Shortly after turnips come up
they are liable to be attacked by flies and
bugs. Ashes sprinkled upon the plants
is pretty good protection. Light prairie
soil, especially if new, is excellent for
turnips. AS corn is generally thin, it
would be well, when there is no other
vacant ground, to drill turnips between
the rows. They may easily be covered
with garden rake. In gathering the
crop. let one person go ahead with sharp
hoe and cut eff the tops, and another fol-
low with good spade and dig them out.
Gather and lay them away the same as
potatoes. They will stand considerable
frost; but should be gathered when you
gather winter apples.-Prairie Farmer

CUsTARD IN CUps.-Boil one pint Of
