KEEPING ROOT CROPS THROUGH THE
WINTER.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
AS the season for putting up par
snips, carrots, beets and turnips for
winter use is coming on, it is we'll to
plan in time.
The best way to keep the above
roots is to hill them without any
shelter, and as the cold increases in
crease the earth over them deep
enough for no freeze to reach them
in January. This has been my plan
for years, not putting more than ten
bushels to the hill or bank. Let no
standing water be allowed near the
hill. They keep we'll for me put up
in this manner.
Ny neighbor, to make a complete
success, had his beets put in barrels
in dry sand in cellar and lost all with
dry rot.
We break off all the leaves or tops
to prevent heat by being too COM
pact. Parsnips and carrots will
keep where grown without being
taken up, if a good ridge is thrown
to them. Large turnips and beets
are rarely ever kept safely during a
very cold winter on the land where
grown. For good spring salad, SOW
late crop of what is known as winter
turnip. All the above roots should
be prepared for winter before they
are hurt by freezes.
Most people had to learn to be
fond of tomatoes; so with many
other vegetables. When we'll served
by a good cook, properly seasoned,
we all can take a small portion at a
time until more is wanted. Begin
with but little when we have a
healthy relish.
Am we'll pleased with The Pro
gressive Farmer. It seems to grow
better and more interesting You
have some strong, sensible writer's,
and but for one thing it would be a
shame for my articles to go in your
paper-that is, some readers are
young and need the plain, simple
statements in hOmely language.
Your paper should go into ten thou
sand homes. 1t would be money
we'll spent to any farmer.

CONSIDERATION OF TILE COW IN SUM
NER,
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
By all means the dairy COW de-
mands good shade in hot weather
just as much as she does good food.
Where trees do not afford this nat
urally in the pasture field, provide
sheds for them. These sheds need
not be much more than poles with
tops on them, with protection on one
side. In hot weather the animals
will resort to these sheds aud rest
there in the middle Of the day. It is
a good practice to distribute enough
hay or light fodder under the sheds
for the midday meal for the COWS to
eat up without filing them toOmuch.
Do not give them this food until
nearly noon, or they will desert the
pasture field for it as soon as the sun
begins to get warm. They need the
exercise in the morning in the open
fields. But when the sun gets very
hot it is not good for man or animal
to be out in it without some protec-
tion. Yet in many cases the dairy
COWS on which we depend for liv-
ing are forced to stand or lie in the
broiling sun simply because no shell
ter is provided for them.
This necessity of shade in the pas
ture field might induce some farmers
to consider the question of planting
shade trees along the hedges of fields.
There is no better practice, and in
the end no more. profitable work. I
advocate selection of such trees that
will yield a profit either in their fruit
or timber. I have found nut trees
to be the most profitable. They are
slow growers, but when they are a
few, years old they begin to furnish
a fair amount of shade for the COWS,
which lie down under them every
day in summer. When the nuts are
ripe the crop is harvested with a
fair surety of some profit. It will
not pay to raise choice fruit trees
along the hedges, but apple trees that
produce cider apples will generally
prove satisfactory. Cherry trees are
also good if the fruits can be pro-
tected from the birds by mosquito
netting If trees are planted for
their timber, new paintings must be
put out every two or three years be-
tween the first trees, and then when
the first crop of timber trees is cut
down the others will furnish suff-
cient shade and be ready for another
reasons cutting Timber trees
planted around the pasture fields
furnish good windbreaks, and they
will sometimes save a crop from
damage by frost.
The dairy COWS need protection in
summer from the heavy rain storms
as well as from the sun s rays, and a

CORN HARVESTING.
". M. MARTIN

The use of corn harvesters here is
fast becoming universal and those
who own them consider them almost
as Indispensable as the grain binder.
The machines are successful and do
all they pretend to do, reducing the
cost of caring for the crop, besides
getting it done in season and max
ing the task picric compared to the
old laborious hand cutting. Having
the corn bound in bundles is a won
derful advantage. 1t stands up bet
ter in the shock and in drawing is
handled with fork almost as easily
as bundles of small grain. If the
corn is to be husked from shock, a
light, portable platform is placed be-
side the shock, a bundle laid on it
and the ears husked out without re-
moving the band, thus saving the
labor of re-tying, writes S. G. Arnold,
of Minnesota in the Breeders Ga
zette.
Much of the shock corn here is
run through the feed cutter without
husking, some farmers using an at
tachment which separates the pieces
of ears and shelled corn from the
fodder. The combined husker and
shredder travels around the country
n the fall like a threshing outfit,
husking the corn and putting the
shredder fodder in the NOW. This
machine is employed by those who
have no cutting machinery of their
own.
Last year the hay crop OF the State
of New York was worth $37, ,0OO,0 900
in round numbers, about eight times
as much as in any Southern State.

Crops around here are
looking we'll since rain. Old corn
was injured, but has somewhat re-
vived, while young corn is looking
fine and with seasons will make a
good crop. Tobacco was badly in

be much good, though young tobacco
may do fairly we'll. Peanuts and

PAY CAsH-CRED1T A DETR1MENT.

The motto, "Pay as you 60, is a
good one to follow and has been the
means of bringing prosperity to
many. Buying on credit tends to
lead people into extravaganza. Many
often buy things they do not need
and, in justice to themselves and
their merchant, really cannot afford,
just because they can buy ION time. -"
When the debt becomes due they
are often unable to pay it-as much
so as when they made it. This fire.
quently causes trouble between
debtor and creditor. Many mer-
chants will sell goods more cheaply
to a customer who pays cash than
they will to one who buys on time.
They can well afford to do SO. Credit
has made slaves of thousands of our
citizens. 1 have witnessed so many
evil results from the system Cor
rather lack of system) of buying on
credit that intend to make as few

The August Southern Planter says
We again say, do not pull fodder y
Let the corn alone until the grains
are glazed, and then cut the crop
down at the root, and set up in good
sized shocks to cure. In this way
the whole crop can be saved, instead
of wasting a large part of that which
has cost money and labor to prOduce.
Fodder pulling is wasteful of time,
of grain, and of feed.
