THE VALUE OF CARROTS.

The following article was read BY
DR.. Morse at late meeting of the
Meramec Horticultural Society:
AT a recent meeting of this Socie-
ty, during discussion of the subject of
the proper cultivation of the young
orchard, | mentioned the carrot as be-
ing an excellent crop for that purpose,
and very valuable as food for horses.
&c. To the latter opinion, especially.
members dissented. As there was no
opportunity at that time for discussing
the point, | offer here few ideas and
facts in regard to it.
"The carrot is valuable crop TO
cultivate in the young orchard, because.
if properly done, it secures deep work.

son frequent stirring Of the surface

weeds, and break up the crust which
forms after rains very important .cul-
tiyation for young orchard.
Gas the season becomes advanced,
the carrot tops nearly cover the ground,
thus acting favorably, as a sort of
mulch, protecting the ground from the
scorching rays Of the sun, and better
than a mulch Of straw or litter, because

of a cooler nature, the better preserving
the dew, and condensing the moisture
Of the atmosphere at night. The roots
of the carrot penetrate to great depth,
loosening, deepening, and rendering
more porous the soil. A vast amount
Of the small fbrous roots are left to de-
cay in the soil, thus enriching it. At
the period Or gathering in the Fall, a
furrow should be plowed close along one
side Of each row, when the carrots may
be readily pulled by hand and the tops
cut off to remain on the ground This
secures a valuable and necessary Fall
working for the orchard, and leaves to
decay not inconsiderable amount of
green, vegetable manure.
"The carrot readily yields from 500
to 600 bushels per acre, and often as
high as 1000 bushels. In nutritive
matter which it actually contains, it is
unequalled by any other vegetable ex-
cept the potato; and in consequence of
poetic acid which it contains, and by
which it assists in the more perfect
digestion and assimilation Of other arti-
cles Of food, it is, doubtless, much more
valuable Cor stock feeding than any
other vegetable. Such is the opinion,
l believe, without exception, Of farmers
who have tried them extensively, con-
sidering them more hearty and nutri-
tious, without producing the laxative
effects which are often perceived in the
potato. When used as horse feed, they
communicate to the animal a looseness
of skin, and a rich, beautiful glossiness
to the hair. The american Farm
Book says: Horses thrive remarkably
on them, and some judicious farmers
feed them as a substitute for oats.
From their medicinal properties, and
the healthful effects resulting from their
regular but moderate use, they would be
advantageously purchased at the same
price as oats, or even corn, if they
could be procured no cheaper. They
are good for working cattle, and unsur-
passed for mich COWS, producing a
great flow Of milk and rich yellow cream.
Sheep and swine greedily devour them,
and soon fatten, if plentifully supplied.
