Keeping Root Crops.

In storing potatoes, the first consid-
Grafton is TO keep them in perfect
darkness; the next is that the bins
should not be too deep, not over three
feet, else it produces warmth and
causes them to sprout.
Roots of all kinds, except onions,
says the New York Herald, keep best
in pits out of doors. The roots should
not be put in pit too early, November
1st TO 10th being the usual time. They
will not then be subject to heating, as
they would be earlier in the season.
Those who have grown sound pota-
toes, should be careful in harvesting,
saving and disposing of them, so as to
make the most of these circumstances.
At all events, the careful grower will
not throw his potato crop away this
year, or-what is about the same-sell
it for mere song.
A writer in the Country Gentleman
advocates building root houses for
storing all kinds of roots in. He says
that the labor attached to pitting an
nually would more than pay the in
terest of capital invested. lie does not
fear cold, but does heat. Those who
use large bins are advised to put brush
between each layer of two feet, as
they ill in, and to ventilate to 20 deg.
if possible.
Where it is necessary to store roots
in cellar, they should be either
covered with earth to prevent drying
up, or else barreled up tight. Many
farmers who sell washed turnips in
winter are in the habit of washing
them in the fall, and asserting them in
barrels, where they will keep we'll in
a cool cellar, but by no means in a
cellar where there is q furnace. This
latter will keep squashes well, how
ever.
The best way to feed mangolds, says
Prof. Stewart, isto run them through
pulper, and then mix this pulp with
the ration of grain or ground feed and
cut hay. This beet pulp will not only
give a relish to the feed, but it con.
tains poetic acid, which is a digester
of other food. Four quarts of this
pulp, given twice per day, is sufficient
to accomplish the great benefit for
which roots should be fed--to cleanse
the stomach, prevent constipation and
act as digester for other food. This
mixing in with other food is the true
way to feed roots. When fed alone,
and in large quantity, roots are a poor
food, but as small part of the ration
they have an important office.
