L n. LeBarOn. A year ago lac, SUN,
!. uier | plorei half an acre as for corn
4 narrowed and furroWed, manured with
!. compost at the rate Of 80 one-hOrss loads
to the acre, half muck, half stable manure
= and ] bbl. phosphate added for the hall
! acre. The land was 50 poor that the year
/, before only got one load of oats on one
g aud One-half acres; harvested $50 bushels
Of turnips.
This year had an acre part of which
4 hoea when il should have been done,
and the crop on that part was as good as
last year, and the rest was not hoed for
some time after and did not do well at all
crop from the acre, $50 bushels. |
had as lief have 100 bushels Of turnips as
a ton Of hay, and l think tons Of hay
and 10 bushels of turnips are better than
tons Of hay; they develop the feeding
qualities Of stock and improve their health.
Don't think carrots are as profitable crop
to raise as turnips or mangel wurtzels, they
are so slow TO weed. '..
began to feed in the fall last year to
cows and fed till spring, and never had
any one sharp enough to tell BY smell or
taste of the butter that turnips were fed. |
The kind | raised was York Sweet, and |
fed at noon. aa. Fia
Land which will yield 40 bushels of
shelled corn 70 the acre will raise 500
bushels Of turnips. had as lief prepare
the ground and put in the seed for turnips
as potatoes,-thc hoeing on the J acre
was ) days more work, the harvesting
about the same had a man tell me if he
lived within mile he would harvest NV
turnip and put them in the cellar for the
tops, and l think they arc valuable as |
feed. | believe in feeding potatoes as {
well as other roots. ,
f. o. Hodge. From some experience 9
with both l think wurtzels are are more t
profitable than turnips, and as to soil any 5
land fit for turnips will produce them.- e
Mangels are not as good to feed before t
about Jan. list, as after, go other crops a
must be raised to feed till then, and |
have had good success with the white b
cow horn" turnip. d
Wurtzels and turnips are considered b
worth half their weight of good hay; SO 7
'ay those who have thoroughly tested ii
hem, and thirty tons are often raised on
IN acre. Root crops are constantly in
reasing, and those who raise most sneak m
'cst Of them. SO
G. B. Small. fed cows on what
traw they would eat aud one bushcl of po-
ntoes per day, and they did well. Pota. ~,
oes are good to raise and feed on the :,
