BEETs FOR STOCK.
NAPA, Cal, March 6, 1884

NAPA, Cal, March 6, 1884.
Editor Husbandman.
The value OF the mangel beet for feeding
stock is not yet halt appreciated among the
farmers of our country. There is no crop
that can be raised in all climates and in all
kinds of soil that is equal to the mangel
beets for fattening hogs and cattle and for
feeding to milch cows. Old cows and
horses with poor teeth can be fattened
quicker and cheaper on mangelS than on
any other food.
A farmer who has lately been feeding q
hundred hogs on rhangels, says they fatten
very rapidly, and that they are much more
profitable than corn since he can raise fifty
tons of them to the acre. A dairyman says,
My cows are very eager for mangels and
the cream is much thicker than before
commenced feeding Them" Another farm
er says, Il have lately been feeding my
plow horses on mangels once day and

ECON NoMIGAL MANAGEMENT OF HOT B En5

For the raising of plants to set out in an
Ordinary family garden, two hot-bed sashes
OF the usual size, six teet by three, will be
sufficient. One OF these should be started
at first; the proper time for this varies, of
course, according to seasons and latitudes.
In climate where Early Cabbage may be
set out by the middle OF April, the hot-bed
should be ready to receive the seed by the
7th of March.
Six boxes or trays, four inches deep,
should now be provided OF such size as will
completely fill the bed. In one of these
boxes sow beets, two varieties, and in an
other lettuce. These should be sown quite
thinly, as they will not be transplanted un-
til put outdoors. In another box SOW early
cabbage, early caulihower, and two varieties
of tomatoes, sowing the latter across the
box. with the cabbage or caulifower at
either end. Place this box across the mid
die OF the hot-bed, and the beets and lettuce

EGGS ARE CHEAP FOOD.

Eggs are usually esteemed expensive diet
in fact luxury which only the rich or
well-to-do can afford to use. But it is a
mistake when we consider their food value
their noGrshing qualities. Eggs, like
milk, contain every element necessary for
the development of the perfect animal.
This is proved by the fact that bones, mus
cles, everything in fact that make the fully
formed chicken is contained in the yolk and
white OF an egg. Indeed, there is no more
concentrating and nourishing food than
eggs. The albumen, oil and saline matter
ale just in the right proportion for sustain
ing animal life. If, therefore, we eat to OBJ
tain strength, we will find that two or three
eggs properly cooked will afford more
nourishment than piece OF meat of equal
market value. When we come to compare
the cost OF producing eggs and pork we find
its costs nearly twice as much to produce a
pound of pork as it does pound of eggs,
and taking into account the nutritive value
OF each and the comparative prices of the
two on an average, the pork is three times
as costly food as eggs, and certainly much
less wholesome.
