Root Crops.
BY A MILL CREEK FARMER.

Messrs. Editors IL notice an article in
your last, taken from the Germantown 1ole-
graph, advocating the growing of root crops
as cheap food for animals.
Having experimental somewhat in that
line the present season, and feeling interested
in the subject, we take the liberty Of except
ing to some of its statements.
One and half tons per acre for the average
yield of hay is no boubt nearly correct, with
common cultivation. But g fifteen tons" of
carrots per acre,as an average, with no higher
manuring and cultivation that is commonly
given to an acre of grass, is too high an es-
innate 1t is true, that amount and more
can be grown on an acre, but it must be, by
extra cultivation and manuring, which, il
given in preparing an acre of grass land,- Of
like quality, would bring the yield up 10
three tons.
Carrots are capital winter food for horses,
when fed in connection with half the usual
quantity Of grain; reducing the cos, of keep
ing very considerably, as they can be grown
lor uilccn cclts per uusnei, VIII iaDOr ~
$3.50 per day. But carrots and chopped
straw with no account given of the cost Of
the straw, as an exclusive feed for horses
take it to be, rather loose statement, las wei
as loose diet, for working animal. Il
would no doubt be cheap as to cost of ma
teria, but somewhat dear for horse flesh
grew the present season, on half an acre
two hundred bushels of mangolds, which a
60 pounds per bushel would he twelve ton
per acre.
The rows were 3 feet. apart, and the beet
stood S to II inches apart in the row, an,
made a very fine growth costing l3l cent
per bushel, when gathered.
Beets are much more productive than car
rots. My experience with carrots is tina
they are more uncertain than any other roc
crop. Parsnips are more easily grown
more productive, and quite as nutritious
have grown both this season and will Civ
you some account of them at future time

More frequent intercourse on the part OF
our farmers and familiar exchange of views
and experience would doubtless do mnch to-
wards introducing newer and more enlight-
ened systems of culture amongst us. Agri-
cultural fairs have become entirely too large
to afford any opportunity for such inter-
course. They are shows at which the main
object Of the visitor is TO see all he can and
under the circumstance if any one attemp-
ted tn bore him with lengthy talk on the
best method of farming in general, or of
raising this or that particular crop the visitor
siderable Impotence and in common par
lance the words of the other would go in
one ear and out at the other.
Fairs then, useful as they are for many
purposes, are not Of much use as teachers.
What our farmers want is a small club, meet
ing at the nearest village once a month, or
oftener If necessary where there shall be
no restraint but perfect feeling of equality.
Let each give his own views and the results
of his own experience and observations.
Let the system of farming pursued on the
farms represented and those in the vicinity
be considered and discussed Such meet
ings would not be bore, they would not
be attended from a sense Of duty, but it
would be pleasure as well as profit 10 all
the members to attend and the habit of at
tendance once formed there would be no
difficulty in keeping them up.
If, however, 1t is desired to unite business
with such meetings. the plan recently adopt
ed by such a club just formed at Oxford,
Chester county, Pa, might be followed.
ed its officers, ii was resolved that a field be
obtained within the borough, in which to
hold a monthly fair and sale; to which any
members Of the club or others, upon the
payment Of small fee could bring any
stock, produce, agricultural Implements etc
which they wished to dispose Of at private
or public sale. Accordingly committee
was appointed to select and prepare Il liel,
for this purpose The Club will hold a pub
lie meeting on the evening of the day o
sale, at which its business will be transacted
and questions of practical Importance Il
farmers will be discussed, essays read an
such other exercises as will advance the il
terests of members. A small fee will be /,
quired to entitle any one TO membership.
II is not likely that this plan would NEE
with much favor amongst farmers hayin
access to so excellent Il market as that {
this city, but those down the State Nigh
make such an arrangement probably, an
find it of advantage 10 themselves. and
decided convenience TO the people Of til
town, in which they would meet Thin
about this and sec II you cannot get such
club up either with Or without Ills fair fia

Rema' kabIe Exiting uished by
smoke.

We briefly noticed 1t the time Of Its occurrence
the fire which took pace ut the cotton factory of
Puscy Brothers, on LEE lSlh ult., but we have
just learned sole ol the details connected with it,
which show lis TIRE IL have been rather remark
allie nlu
From al That can bt learned it is believed that
the fire hnA lis igll IN the spontaneous coinbIs-
tim Of some cotton waste, and that it had burned
for I NJ Ii ufs before IL was discovered. There
WIS no light in the factory that evening, but II
colJGed mnn who lived near there on going to
bed at about " O'Clock that night thought lie saw
the mill lighted up. II is supposed that the waste
was blazing at this time, and that the fire COTS
timed to burn until four o'clock, when police
man awakened Mr.. Pussy, with the announce
ment that tile factory was on fire.
On arriving Mt the factory Mr.. Pusey found il
filed with that dense and most pungent and suffo-
eating OF all smokes, cotton smoke. The heat
was SO great that the out sides of the locks were
hot when the policeman first noticed the fire and
the smoke was slowly rickting out through every
small crcvicc in the building, and rushing out ut
the only open window. When the smoke had
cleared sufficiently to allow them to enter Mr..
Puscy aud s1lnc others entered the factory and
found that the place in the floor about twenty
feet square had burned away and that for ten feet
| square the foOr and iaftcis had been completely
consumed so that there was nothing left but
ashes. Around that hole the floor and rufters
were charicd and the fire hadgoRe out. post
oytr this pait hud burned OIL nearly to the top
| and the fire here had also gone out. III fact Iy
/
the iir,. had almost entirely died out, and this In
cotton Factory full oi looms, loose thtc,d, and
manufactured goods.
Nirssrs puscy account for this remarkable and
decidedly satisfactory conclusion to what seems
to have teen an excellent beginning for n most
disastrous Are, ~ the tightncss of their factory
when closed up, aud the fact that it is a one
story building. The fire prevented sufficient
air from entering to furnish the oxygen
necessary 10 maintain combustion, and also
preventing the smoke from escaping, and this
dense volume Itself acted as n sort Of blanket
to cxtinguisl the irc to which it owned its exis.
tence. The factory, on the other hand, had a
root high enough to escape the leap of the flames
from the burning floor, and yet being but one
story building had not high enough walls to give
the f!rc any draft.
The smoAe WAS very dense and eolored every
tllisg on which 1t IN de deposit n chocolate
brown. II so dirkcned the ceiling and walls OF
lie factory that they had to be whitewashcd. 1t
made its way into the Office and settling on the
papers upon tic taliles gave them an indelible
hne, which makes them look as though they
were seorchel In fact il stained and darkencd
everything it touched.
