Carrots.

wish to say a word about carrots for all
kinds of stock. l raised at the rate of 900
bushels per acre the last season. have fed
them regularly to my cows twice day, and
| never had them look so we'll as they do
this winter. My horses have had them about
twice week, and they seem to do better
than usual; my calves, colts and hogs eat
them as readily as oats and corn. There are
several reasons why we should grow them
besides their value as food. They can BE-
raised for five cents per bushel. They leave
the ground for next years crop in superior
condition, and finally, in localities where wa,
ter is scarce, the stock fed on carrots do no,
require as much water. IF carrots freeze
they are not injured like potatoes. used a
sub-soil lifting pillow, and my ground is a
sandy loan, and never has been highly ma
nured. I believe 500 bushels can be raised
from an acre.-Ger. Telegraph.

Fruits with quick Returns.

All Americans are noted for being in
hurry. They want things which will surel,
pay, and pay quickly. This excessive haste
is not commendable. But there are cases in
which expedition may be justified. An ole
man, or an invalid, or the tenant of hired
house may properly plant something of which
he may reasonably hope to gather the fruit
Can such people be gratified? Doubtless
Let them plant:
l. Standardization good vines vel
planted, a little fruit may be gathered thu
first Summer, and an abundant crop the
second. Of course, they will need proper
care, if much is expected from them.
Q. Raspberries.-Se these out in Spring
or Fall, in proper soil, cut them down to thu
second bud at planting, they will throw ur
strong canes the first season, from which
berries can be gathered the second Tn,
white and red Antwerps and the Brinkle's
Orange are to our palate the best sorts, but
they need bending to the ground every Win.
ter, and covered with an inch or two of soil
The common black and the Allen raspberry
require no protection. All kinds yield full
crops the second and third years.
8. Currants and Gooseberries. These may
w AoiSSu AoAA GU AIUul any
good neighbors garden, or from young plants
bought at the nurseries. 1t is wonder to
US that the currant is SO underated. If it
were new thing, and slightly tender, so as
to need a little pctting, wouldn't it be great
affair? But the lamentable fact is, that it is
an old customer, is hardy as burdock, an
early and constant bearer, is subject to almost
no disease, and fits fruit is wholesome and
answers many useful purposes. Alas for it 4!
4. Grapes.-These sometimes bear the
second or third year from the cutting. From
strong layers, quite number of clusters may
be gathered the second year. We douot the
wisdom however, of cropping the vine much
before the third or fourth year. A little
patient delay will insure healthier vines and
larger crops afterward.
s. D@arf Cherries, Pears, Apples, etc.
These often yield fruit the first or second
year after planting. As in the case of grapes
it is doubtless wiser to allow no fruit grow
until the third or fourth year.
Need we extend this enumeration? With
a well stocked garden Of vegetables maturing
the first season, and with fruits coming for
ward and bearing crops in succession the
second, third, and fourth years, any reasona-
BILE man will be contcnt.--American Agricuy-
alist.

Water on Stock Farms.

Mr.. Strawn the great Illinois farmer, gives
the following method in the Farmers 44dro-
cate for keeping water on stock farms: "Dig
basin five or ten rods square and ten feet
deep, upon high knoll. Feed corn in the
es::sin to your hogs and cattle until it is well
puddled by the tramping Of their feet, which
will make it water ugh; He says the rains
of single winter suffice to accommodate.
