Roots For Stock.

The majority of western farmers have
vet to learn that roots, such as carrots,
parsnips, beets and turnips can be raised
much cheaper than corn and oats, andwill
yield larger crop per acre, and will
furnish large amount of excellent stock
feed at the lowest price, Corn, oats
and hay are the principal dependence
of the western farmers, and they make
the best of stock feed, whether fed alone
or in connection with other material,
hut they are also high priced when com
pared with roots.
| do not think | misstate the facts
when | say fifty bushels OF either corn or
oats is considered very fine crop, III
fact, | believe taking one year with an
other the majority of crops will fall UNI
der rather than go over this, while i'll
the same soil and with the same cultiva-
tion three OF four times this amount can
be raised of roots. and with artichokes
or turnips five or six times the number
of bushels can be raised and with even
less cultivation.
The trouble of putting away may be
something over the expense of shocking
and cribbing corn, but i'll the increased
number of bushels that can be raised
per acre viii doubly pay for this, but
the larger number of bushels that can
be raised per acre is not the only adj
vantage. Every farmer knows that too
much corn is unhealthy. Stock, to keep
in the best thriving condition, require a
change, and roots furnish this at very
low expense In fact, Eastern farmers
find it more profitable to feed largely of
roots. saving their corn as a change or
supplemental feed and to finish offtheir
stock for market. For growing stock
roots are much better and much cheap
or than corn or oats, and by feeding
largely of them the cost of the stock at
maturity is much less than if fed upon
corn alone. besides giving thriftier and
healthier stock and giving the farmers
more corn to spare to finish off hogs for
market.
Try small plat this year. Keep an
account of the cost of raising and the
value as feed, and i'll this way determine
for yourself if it is not more profitable
to raise roots for stock feed.
