THE CARROT CROP.

Root crops are now attracting so
much general attention, that all facts
in relation to their culture, &C., are
1weloomely received. 1t is now an adj
Knitted fact by intelligent cultiyators,
{ that they may be proftably grown for
feeding purposes. Any person who
doubts this statement, can satisfy him
self by a calculation Of the amount Of
tnutritive matter that can be obtained
'on a given quantity Of soil, as COM
pared with that Of cereals ordinarily
cultivated. 1t is taken for granted,
of course, that a good system Of cul-
ture is the most profitable, and that
crops cannot be grown to the best adj
vantage on any soil that is not replete
with the necessary elements, and in
the right relative proportions that are
required as food for the plants intend
ed to be grown.
Taking these facts into considera-
ton, and chemical analysis as the ba-
sis in making Investigations, we claim
that the value of root crops for feed
ing purposes can be fully established.
The livery stable keepers Of New
York, purchase carrots largely for
their horses, and many of them are OF
the opinion that a busbel of carrots
and bushel Of oats are, in most in
stances, worth more for feeding pur-
poses than two bushels of oats, and
that any measure of carrots would
contain as much nutriment as the same
bulk of oats, but because of theil
presence in the animal system causing
a fuller appropriation Of the oats thar
would otherwise take place. A horse
fed partly on carrots will have a sleel
coat, and will not be liable to that un
pleasant disease known as heaves
Their use as food for mich COWS is 81
well known as to need but little com
ment. The milk and butter of ami
Anals fed partly on carrots, will be ricl
and of high flavor. This will be self
evident from practical experience
aside from the chemical rationale @
the subject which also goes to prov
it. Their use as food for sheep, pigs
geese, ETC., is now justly claiming at
tention.

LARGE AND SMALL FOWLS AS
LAYERS.

I begin to suspect that big hens
have not all the superiority over small
ones that we sometimes claim for them.
The smaller breeds of fowl are, ! in
cline to think, more frequent layers.
Big fowls have large frames, and a
tendency to lay on flesh. They con-
sumo a great deal of food, and, like
our pigs, the more we feed them the
more hzy do they become. If we
wish large-sized egg, then only the
larger fowl can give it to us. like
the large breeds So well, they are so
easily restrained, they have so docile
position, they show up 80 well on
the platter as well as when following
the grasshoper on the mowings, and
their eggs are so large and inviting,
that do not feel like describing them.
Their merits are of a substantial sort.
! can not forget, however, that during
this cold season my fowls are taking a
rest from laying, that my hens are
eating their fill every day, and are
like people who are fresh from thanks
giving dinner, quite content to do
nothing, while my neighbours Leg
horns are giving him eggs in exchange
for food and care. He gets small
eggs,-I get large ones; but he has
more than l per hen, and has perhaps
two eggs to my one in the season when
they bring the largest price. Hearty
feeding in his case seems to start his
hens to laying. If they rest over a
few days of cold spell, they are soon
at it again on the return Of the warm
sunshine, and their intervals of nom
laying seem not so prolonged. The
smaller breeds are endowed with a
higher vitality, and the expenditure of
it is seen in their more nervous move
ment and in egg production, rather
than in laying on Of flesh. l am not
sure but that the laying hen is some
thing skin in her temperament to the
deep milking COW. She is of a nerv-
GUS makeup, can find out neighbours
garden, knows how to get into it, and
can run right smartly when the small
boy appears on the scene TO rem0n-

HUMOROUS,

Years ago Charles NJ. Lee was
great lawyer in Rochester, n. I. On
one occasion he was defending an old
veteran for passing forged promisso-

evidence as well as he could, under

distinguished himself, and closed his
speech as follows:
"Gentlemen Of the jury, will you

old hero Of threescore and ten, who in
his youth cheered the heart of his
country in tie darkest hour of the

about two hours, when the clerk went

tone, that they must find an uncondi

Don Piatt gives a description of a

the fatal effects of the ice-water, and
knew that ere long groans, and per-

CULTIVATION IN SEASON.
The truth Of the following cannot
be too strongly enforced:

The truth of the following cannot
be too strongly enforced:
..With a press Of work often the
cultivation Of hoed crops is put of
until the weeds have attained a con-
siderable size, even so as TO Oyershad-
oE the crop. This is a mistake. Ev-
cry weed not destroyed is sapping the
ground Of the nutriment that is just
in the best condition for the growing
plant, but if the weed is destroyed as
il comes out Of the ground it has as
yet only taken its nutrition from its
own seed. Again, a single motion,
when weeds arc tiny, will destroy hun
dreds, where, if allowed to remain
some time longer, each individual
specimen will require the same effort.
Here is where the stroke in time saves
ninety-nine or more. This is the most
emphatically true in the growth of on
ions, beets, and other crops closely
sown, which require hand work entire
ly. In case of potatoes, the plan Of
narrowing after planting and before
they are far advanced is growing in
favor. This allows the the crop to
have a good start of the weeds, and
the potatoes are not in the least in
jured by the harrow."-DetroH Free
