week, though where they are plenty &
still better plan is to feed some every
day with oats or other grain, the ration
of which may be proportionately dimin
ished. To buy them they are general,
as dear al oats, but may be grown fo
much less cost, a good crop of carrot
yielding two hundred to six hundred o
eight hundred bushels per acre, accord

The raising of turnip and cabbag

sidiary to these crops, but it has prove
so profitable that many farmers hav
gone into it largely.-froy Times.
