Ladies who wear gloves of medium

as they will seriously blacken the inside
of the glove, and it is quite impossible
to remove the stain.
Theater bonnets in white are rarely

close bonnets without strings and those

ROOT
Their Value ~ Food for Horses, Cattle
and Sheep.

Their Value as Food for Horses, Cattle
and Sheep.
During the past few years considera.
BILE interest has been shown in some
parts of the West in raising root crops
to feed to farm animals. A variety Of
causes have prevented much attention
being paid to them till recently. In
many places there was more grass than
the animals could eat. Most of the ter.
ritory occupied by settlers had a soil
and climate well adapted to the pro.
duction of Indian corn. The climate
of those regions was not well adapted
to the production of turnips, which are
more generally raised in Great Britain
for stock purposes than any other veg
etable. The reasons generally Vera
too dry and hot to admit of their max
ing a good growth. The yield was
often small, and the roots were likely
to be hard and tough. But. q small
number Of laborers are kept on most
Western farms, and as a rule it has
been difficult to obtain help to plant,
weed and thin root crops. The winters
in parts of the West north of the great
corn belt'' are severe, and the Difficult.
ties in preserving roots to feed during
cold weather somewhat great. Large
cellars are scarce, and the majority Of
farmers do not know how to preserve
roots in pits. Besides, our agricultural
chemists, who claim that the feeding
value of every kind of food a be de.
termined by analysis, have placed roots
among the poorest kinds of stock food.
Various reasons, however, have re.
Gently caused farmers to look favorably
on the production Of roots. A large
amount of land north of the region
where corn can be protitably raised
has been settled. Cattle, horses and
sheep have increased in numbers till
in many places feed is comparatively
scarce. The seasons have been more
favorable to the production of roots,
being comparatively cool and moist.
Those who have planted beets and
for stock food have generally
raised large crops. The roots raised
been of good quality. Drills fol-
