Are Roots Worth Growing?

We have not yet been able to deter
mine to our entire satisfaction, whether
there is any profit in growing beets,
mangolds and the like for stock-feeding
puposes in our dry, hot climate, although
we have grown and fed more or less
each year for five years back. The pros
and cons seem evenly balanced. Let ey-
cry enterprising farmer cultivate and
feed a small lot, carefully observing cost
and results, and then determine, wheth-
er or not to make them one of the regu-
lar crops. A correspondent of the Maine
Farmer says his say as follows:
For the past few years | have fed sew
eral hundreds of bushels of mangolds
to swine and they always thrive on
them. Last winter | fed over six hun
dred bushels to swine with good results,
keeping my breeding sows on mangolds
alone, fed raw, they not having one dol
lars worth of any other food for the
winter, and in the spring they brought
me from $50 to $50 worth of pigs each.
If the roots are so nearly worthless what
makes the pigs grow? If any one that
don't think roots are good for anything
to feed has pair of nicely matched
steers and a plenty of these worthless
roots, / would like to have him give one
steer nothing but dry hay, and the other
four fifths as much hay, together with as
many pounds of roots as he gives the
other in hay, and see if when spring
comes he don't think the watery things
are worth something.

The Massachusetts Plouglman very
seasonably says: TOO many farmers
neglect to supply their own tables with
any suitable variety of vegetables and
fruit. BY small outlay of money and
labor everv farmer can keep his table
supplied with succession of fresh veg
etables through the whole season. Spin
ach planted as soon as the weather is
suitable will furnish the finest greens be-
fore other vegetables come on, but if it
had been planted in the fall it would
have come into use in April, under ordi-
nary conditions Then radishes, lettuce,
cucumbers, tomatoes, peas, beans, sweet
corn, summer squashes, beets, melons
and turban squashes will furnish wei
come and wholesome addition to the
farmers fare throughout the season. If,
in addition to these, there are a few
roots of rhubarb, bed of asparagus, a
bed of strawberries, and small collec
ton of small fruits, farmer may live in
luxury and health, such as his occupation
ought to afford, instead of the tiresome
monotouy and scarcity of good things of
the farm that many farmers put up with
from sheer thoughtlessness, carelessness
or laziness."

Insects.

An increase of insects will come with
the warm growing weather. The eggs of
the tent caterpillar will be among the
first to produce worms, which, If left to
themselves, will soon begin their rava-
ges upon the foliage. Their coming is
easily recognized by their tents, and
these should be destroyed at once. The
best time TO take them is early in the
morning before they have left their nests
or tents, when the whole family may be
removed and crushed The bare hand is
the best for all within reach; for those
upon high branches use pole with u
swab dipped in lyc or petroleum. If n
newly set tree is found infested with oys-
tcrshel bark lice, it is the shortest way
TO pull it up and burn it. An old tree
with this pest should be painted over
with some non-dryirg oil, as lard oil;
crude petroleum has been used with
some success. The presence of the bor-
ers is known by the sawdust which they
make. The best cure is u knife and a
wire or whalebone probe. Cut only
enough to allow the entrance of the
plooc' never SIulc Ilt ucc III VIC ildNC
seen some do who were hunting for bor-
ers. The cTculio of the plum stings
the fruit when it is quite small Jar the
trees when the fruit is set in the early
morning, and so long as insects are
caught. The sluggish beetles are caught
upon sheets spread beneath the trees OF
arranged with poles to be held by two
persons; put the insects into the fire oil
otherwise destroy them. Plant lice, that
sometimes crowd upon the growing tips
of cherry and other fruit trees, can be
removed by Swinging them with tobacco
water; those within reach may be bent
down and dipped in the same liquid.

REMEDY FOR CABBAGE WoRMs.-Of
all the many remedies that have been
tried for the imported cabbage worm
since it first began to spread over the
country and to play havoc with our cab
bage fields, few, if any, have given en-
tire satisfaction. 1t is safe to say that
the most satisfactory remedy so far dis
covered is the use of pyrethrum. We
were the first to apply this in 1879, but
did not care to recommend it until fur
ther experiments had been made. These
we have made the present year, and
caused to be made by number of our
agents and correspondents. The gener-
al experience is most favorable, and we
unhesitatingly recommend it for all the
different worms affecting the leaves of
our cabbage plants.-Germonto'on Tel
egrd2Dh.

Squashes are of tropical origin, and
therefore, when spring opens it is useless
to plant them until the soil is quite warm.
Again, as they make very rapid
growth, there is no necessity of haste in
getting the seeds into the ground.
Squashes are good feeders, liking rich
soil. 1t is best to manure in the hill, land
when danger from the bugs is over, pull
up all but three or four. A mellow,
warm soil is the best. For bush sorts,
make hills three or four feet apart, and
for running kinds twice that distance.
All winter squashes should be ripened
thoroughly or they are watery, lacking
sweetness and richness, also lacking
keeping properties

TIE HEIGHT OF FOLLY,

To wait until you are down on your
bed with disease you may not get over
for months, is the height of folly, when
you might be easily cured during the
early symptoms by using Parker's Gin
ger Tonic. 1t costs only a trife, can
never do any harm, and possesses cura-
tive properties in the highest degree.
We have known the palest, sicklest
looking men, women and children be-
come the rosiest and healthiest, from the
timely use of this pure family medicine.

A CURE AT LAsr.-Spccitics without
