Rutabagas for Fodder.

1t Is gratifying to see so many Amer
lean farmers putting their waste places
or spare pieces of land into rutabagas
and turnips for early fall or long VIM
ter feeding. They are getting the Eu-
ropean idea OF root crops. There the tar-
nips and ruta bagas are sown broadcast
as are almost all grains, and II not de-
sired as roots. the foliage then Is '.sed
for green food. Just imagine the results
OF twenty-acre oatpatch treated IN
this way! Think OF the tremendous
amount of green fodder, magnificent
fodder too coming into full play dur
ing hot August and September. why
a field CT rutabagas and turnips, there.
fer cattle food is worth almost as much
as the oats gathered therefrom! An
other good plan is to SOW rutaDaga
seed, especially the variety known Of
Salzer's Lacrosse, Wis, Mammoth Rus'
sian variety, or his Milk Globe turnlI
sort, at the rate of one-half pound pei
acre. into the cornfield, just before tnt
last cultivation. This will give yot
two good crops--one of corn, the ,thel
of roots from the same land! One ad
vantage of the rutabaga is that 1t car
be sown at any time of the summer 10

them, and but little hand Work Is re-
quired. The crop should be gathereu
and stored before a hard 1reeze'

and If large quantities are storeu
together the bins should have siatteu
floors raised few inches, and ventila-
tor put in every ten feet to admit inc

ventilators can be made with two strips

inches apart and strips of plasterers

them together. Set them on the noor
over crack, and let them eXtend 10
the top of the bin. Beets are worth
more for feeding late in the winter ana
early in spring, than in the fall, 1or
two reasons. First, beets, like winter
apples, go through a curing or ripen-
ing process which improves them; and,
second, after being fed for months on
| dry feed the stock need more ana re-
lish better a change to succulent food,
| and beets are a grateful food to them.

The imports OF rice into the United
States for the eight months ending
March were 4S,043 short tons, as
against 64,0S7 tons during the same
time the previous year. Included in
this were 22,255 tons Of clean rice.
against 3S,792 tons during the same
time the year before. There were a.
600 tons of rice -four, rice meal and
broken rice imported, as against 23.141
tons the year before. The notable fea-
ture of these imports Is the falling on
in the imports of cleaned rice from u.s.
1872 tons in 1S94-95 to 22,255 tons during
the same period in 1885. The low
prices at which homegrown rice has
been selling seem to have hsd the effect
OF diminishing the imports Of compel
ing rice to the extent Of some $4,000
tons. Our annual consumtion Of rice.
domestic and foreign. is estimated at
about 100 600 to 10000 tons. These
reduced imports would seem to indi-
cate a comparatively bare rice market
this summer and better prices than last
year when the new crop shall begin to
come in.

there is no waste. They are wonderful
yielders, easily producing 1000 bushels

and In this year Of unparalleled drouth
they yielded over 500 bushels to the

apart SO as to do most OF the cultiva-

little more than two feet apart is better
than closer. The seed should be sown
quite thickly, and the plants thinned to
