TO make more. You cannot grow a hig
crop of mangolds without thorough cult.

But when you have got the mangola.. the
land is not only left in splendid condition
for future crops, but the consumption of
the mangolds. besides being of great benefit
to stock, leaves splendid lot of rich ma
nure. We can raise just as good mangolds
here as they can in England-in fact, |
think better, as our hotter climate natures
them more perfectly, and renders them
more nutritious. We can easily grow

Canada Farmer, among other remarks,
makes the following: I'VE have lately
observed many head OF stock dropping,
rough in skin and apparently sufferiag from
some loss Of appetite. We had thought
that 1t was entirely owing to the constant
irritation from dies and the long contin ued
dry weather. Upon questioning the own

odical sailing has been neglected. While

wHITEwAsHING TREES.


An old farmer, in the Germantown Tel.
graph. says 1.-THE practice Of coating the
bark OF fruit aud ornamental trees with
whltewash. Is one that cannot be too Sc
verely deprecated. The obstruction OF re-
splratory organs and orifices, whether et-
fected by the application Of whitewash or
any other adhesive material, ALWAYS act as
fruitful source OF disease, and in time
proves fatal TO the tree. When the bark
becomes rough OF incrusted with moss. il
should be cleaned by scraping and washing
down thoroughly with 4 solution Of potash
or soda in water, affordn. smoothness to
the surface without obstructing the pores.

When turnips and rutabagas are Ted 10

prevented by feeding the cows only imIne-
