GROWING FEED-ROOTS,

GROWING FEED-ROOTS.
An acre Of ground we'll
MANFRED and well cultivated will
produce from Is to 20 tons of
roots, either mangles, stock car
rots or ruta begas. The total
labor expense from blowing the
ground to getting the roots in the
cellar need not exceed $40, and
taking an average yield of Is tons
to the acre, the cost of producing
this feed would be less than zoe
a ton. You need a garden drill
for planting (the Planet Junior
has been found most satisfactory
and a wheel hoe for cultivating
close to the row when the plants
are small. The cost of both i'm
plements is less that $40.
The uantity of seed required
per acre is 5 pounds for mangles,
3 pounds for stock carrots and J
pounds for rutabagas. Grew the
stock carrot for dairy cows,
mangles for hogs and the ruta-
baga for sheep or young stock.
Sandy soil IS preferable to
clay. Manure and plow deep.
Harrow the ground till perfectly
smooth. Plant in rows two feet
apart. AS soon as the plants are
we'll up start cultivation, using
the wheel hoe to run over the
row and the horse between the
rows. When the plants are about
two inches high thin out with the
hand hoe, leaving the stock car
rots six inches apart, the rutaba-
gas ten inches and tie mangles
from II to Is inches, owing to the
richness of the soil. In this way
you need practically no hand
wedding and the yield will be
greater than if the plants grew
closer together. Cultivate once a
week all summer. The amount
of hand hoeing necessary will be
determined fy the number Of
weeds in the land. The cultiva-
ton must be thorough and the
weeds kept out to geta good
crop.
In pulling the roots lay them
across the row with the tops
even. They can then be topped
with corn knife almost as fast
as man can walk.
a man can pillow, harrow and
plant an acre Of roots in a day.
Three. hours a week will keep
them cultivated and free from
weeds. Two men can pull, top
