FARM AND GARDEN.
Grow Root CrOps.

Three and "A half tons of sugar beels and
two and half of carrots will go MS far in
sustaining life as IA ton of good hay. An
acre Of good land will produce 1000 bushels
of beets and 700 bushels of carrots, or from
fifteen to twenty eight tons each. This is
very small yield compared with crops IN
England, where rootgrowlng is carried on
scientifically. Some cases are reported OF
ninety tons of beels being grown to the acre
IN that country. Carrots afford the most nu'
triment, and are decidedly the best roots Tor
mich cows. Beets should be sown from
May 18th to June 1st, in drills about eighteen
inches apart. Carrots may be grown IN
drills from fifteen to eighteen inches apart
in field culture. 1t requires considerable la
Dor to weed carrots and thin them out; but
with rich soil and not sowed till the
ground is warm, it will always pay to grow
\ few hundred bushels, even if one has to
bury a portion OF the crop for winter preser.

A great deal of fun has been poked at the
class of men known as HanCy" farmers
persons with large fortunes who farm for
pleasure All their mistakes and shortcom-
ings are aeld up to ridlcule by the opposing
class who call themselves practical farmers.
We are glad to find the Chicago Times say
ing good word for the ma.igned amateurs,
as follows: "What we want to develop the
agriculture and horticulture of The country
10 their fullest extent is a large number Of
fancy farmers, men who work for pleasure
rather than private gain. These are the men
who will perform experiments and give the
world the benefit Of them These are the
men who will carry on Investigations for the
sake Of investigating. These are the men
who will bring in new grams, new fruits,
vegetables, and new varieties of animals.
These are the men who will devote their
time and money to the Improvement of old
varieties and the creation of new ones. The
country is sadly ia need Of more fancy far.

A correspondent of the CHtir0tor says:
1t seems 10 be the common belief that there
is no limit TO the natural age of apple trees
But this is certainly a mistake. We all know
that the peach tree usually fails to be proilta.
bic at twelve to fifteen years of age, and Tie
cherry and plum average only twenty TO THU
ty years; the pear, in favorable clrcum-
stances, forty to fifty years-in rare cases a
much longer time; So also, the apple tree
has Its natural limit, and, although like
mans life, the duration of the period OF
health and vigor varies greatly, according to
constitution, nurture, climate, &c, It's ap-
proaching termination is clearly indicated
by signs Of debility and disease. On very
deep and favorable soils, and where the trees
are not damaged by severity Of climate apple
orchards are occasionally found bearing fair
crops of fruit at eighty TO one hundred years
Of age, but these are nearly as rare as for
their owners TO live so long. Very few lis
are of the best kind for an orchard, and
everywhere our climate is either too warm or
at times too cold for the best health OF TIE
trees. Injury by severe cold blackening all
the wood, | am convinced is q very common
cause Of the failure of orchards; but s,arva.
ton, in consequence OF exhaustion Of The
soil. is still more common, and this is a more
difficult matter 20 remedy than most people
suppose. especially when trees have attained

A correspondent of an English journal
writes: During the last twenty-six years l
have found the toes OF chickens, including
young turkeys, pheasants and poultry, often
completely eaten off, some crumpled up with
sores, others with toes turned unuer the feet,
and oil course many deaths. | made the
most careful inquiries as to the food given
them, and il every case found large guam
tity of animal food was being used, such as
hard boiled eggs, mutton and boiled rabbit.
A man in my employ once tried some NUT.
ton for young pheasants. desired him to
use it very sparingly, but my caution was
unheeded, and in few days numbers of the
birds became lame, their feet and legs ap-
pearing as if dipped in hot water, the feet of
many breaking out in sores the toes turning
up or completely ro,ting of, and only very
few recovering, No bird fell with the dis
ease that had not been fed with the meat.
My opinion is, that it also is caused by a too
bounuful supply of animal food and net by
wet ground"

The Western AdrewiSer says: 1--WE have
often urged the wisdom of having grove al
;he rear of the farmhouse to shelter the back
premises and protect the outbuildingS from
storms. The other day we saw our ideal 10
this respect realized. A farmer in Massage

an acre of woodland, mostly second growth,
at the rear of his dwelling house. 1t con.

plete protection afforded from the northwest

beings on the place will feel the good OF this

Preserving Corn.

The result of the remarkably open winter
and the frequent rains and thaws Is, that
throughout the State there are millions of
acres of Corn-fields from which las. years
crop has not yet been gathered, because it
has been and is almost impossible to drive
wagons through the fields to haul 1t off.
Most of the corn is down In the mud and
water, and, with the present wet weather,
there is danger that millions of bushels vii!
rot before the ground will be in such condl-
ton that the corn can be hauled from the
fields, In this condition of affairs it is high
~ important that some means be devised to
save it. The most feasible plan yet suggest,
ed is that of Mr. W. #. Stackpole, of Far
bury, Ill.,, which is, at the most convenient
and easy.reaching points in each field, to col,
lect corn-stacks and pile them crosswlse
loosely in squares until the whole is or ~
inches above the mud, and gather and pile
upon this the corn that it is impossible, be.
cause OF the mIre, to haul away. This would
leave the corn with sufficient circulation OF
air to keep it dry while the rain sits through
and there would be no danger of the grain
ro,tins This plan is certainly worth trying.
