The Cultivation Of Roots.

The Western Rural says it has fire.
quetly remarked in answer to cores
pondents with reference to feeding an
imals, "feed roots if you have them"
We have felt the necessity of adding,
''if you have them" for we know to
what a large extent the culture of
roots is neglected. Indeed, in the vast
majority of cases we feel that it is use
less to make the recommendation for
we are very sure that the farmer has
no roots. 1t is a neglect which should
not be SO prevalent. The demand in
stock feeding to-day is more for roots
than any other one thing. Almost ev-
cry farm has all that it needs of other
kinds of food but while the flesh
forming foods contain more moisture
than the fat-forming, and therefore are
more like roots in character, they fall
far short. There is nothing to take
the place of roots except ensilage, and
we are not quite ready to believe that
even that can. At all events ensilage
costs the most, and if we allow it all
the advantages over roots that its war
NEST admirer would claim, the differ
ence in the cost would still, we think,
make roots preferable. Why cannot
we inaugurate reform in this matter,
and those of us who have never given
attention to root crops begin now tc
do so? The mangel wurtzel is moi
difficult of cultivation, and yields enor
mously, though there are those who
believe that the sugar beet is most de
sirable. However, mangels are goo6
enough. 1t would be well if we grew
root crops just as we grow other crops
with the object of raising the larges
quantity that could be produced con
sistent with quality. That is the wa,
to grow anything. 1t does not pay t
grow half crop. If thing is wort
cultivating at all, il is worth cultiva
ting well. But it is better to gro,
half crop of roots than none. 1t is
very careless operation to cultivat
roots upon badly prepared or poor lane
for it costs just as much to grow a
acre Of roots on poor land as it doe
upon rich, and it costs no more t
grow them on land that is in prope
condition than it does on land that
lumpy, trashy, etc, If the planting

are made to stand ia line in the row

AT home, fellow citizens, you best
know whether we have done well or i'll.
The suppression Of unnecessary offices,
of useless establishments and expenses,
enabled us to discontinue our internal
taxes. These, covering our land with
officers, and opening our doors to their
intrusions, had already begun that pro-
cess of domiciliary vexation which, ,once
entered, is scarcely to be restrained
from reaching, successively, every arti-
Gle of property and produce. If, among
these taxes, some minor ones fall, which
had not been inconvenient, it was be-
cause their amount would not have
paid the officers who collected them,
aud because, If they had any merit, tue
State authorities might adopt them in.
stead of others less approved.
The remaining revenue, on consump'
tion of foreign articles, is paid chiefly
by those who can afford to add foreign
luxuries to domestic comforts. Being
collected on our seaboard and frontiers
only, and incorporated with the trans
actions of our mercantile citizens, il
may be the pleasure and pride of al
American to ask: What farmer, wha
mechanic, what laborer ever sees ia,
gatherer of the United States? Thes'
contributions enable us to support thu
current expenses of the Government
to fulfill contracts with foreign nations
to extinguish the native right of sol
within our limits; to extend thos
limits; and to apply such a surplus t.
our public debts as places at shor
day their final redemption.

How Watch Cases are Made.

Imitation always follows successful

proofs of real honest merit; and thus it is
that the james Boss Gold Watch Case has
its imitators Buyers can always tell the

scales are stamped in the cap of the watch
case, Jewellers are very cautious about en-

that it is good but that the character of
the manufacturers is such that the quality
of the goods will bekep, fully up to standard.

RANGE FOR PouLrRY.- The Poultry
World saws that whether fowls form a
part of the farm stock or are raised for
pleasure or pecuniary interest, they can
pick up good share of their living if
they have free range. Liberty and
contentn,ent r8 far towards making
fowls more profitable to their owners.
They like to eujoy ample range among
bushes, trees and fields, scratching here
and there among leaves, half burying
themselves 10, sand and loan, and chas-
lug insects an day long. Thus they
are kept growing right slong, always
looking lively and enjoying ( Mat healthy
exercise which alone gives stamina and
hardness and increases their fertility.

A Large Eel Pond.

The greatest eel pond in the country
is on the farm of Mr.. Wells, of River
had, L. l. The pond covers FIVE acres.
Two years ago Mr.. Wells put into the
pond two thousand dozen eels, with no
intention of disturbing them tor five
years. They have increased wonder
fully, millions being in the pond, and
it is thought there will be quadrillions
before Mr.. Wells gets ready to market
them, and that he has a fortune in them.
The eels are fed regularly every three
days on what is known as "horse feet,
q sea product, with meat inside shell
which takes the shape Of a horses hoof,
and it is doubtless from that that it de-
rives its name. The eels seem to know
when they are to be fed, for when Mr..
Wells beats upon the side of his wagon
with the butt-end of his whip, they
swarm towards him. Any other per.
son may beat and bang for hours with.
out causing the slightest commotion
among them. Hundreds of people 60
to see them fed. Mr.. Wells, to satisfy
the visitors curiosity, will hold "horse
foot" in the water for minute or two
and then withdraw it with numerous
eels clinging to the contents, or the
shell. The largest eel ever taken from
the pond in this way weighed five and
three-quarter pounds, but there are, il
is thought, still larger ones. They con
sumo seven hundred and fifty ''hors,
feet" in three days. 1t would seem i'm
possible to furnish so many, but til,
number does not begin to detail the ex
tent of the catch. Millions of them arr
annually fed to swine and poultry, ant
some make a business of catching them
On June Is, after a storm, Captain
Downs, with trap of his own inven
