carrot should be sown in prefer.
ence to mangles, owing to it's
greater hardness. In yield and
feeding value it is equal to the
mangle, it's feeding value, per.
haps, being little higher. For
dairy cows either the stock
carrot or mangle should be
grown. Rutabagas are all right
for young stock or sheep, but
when fed to..dairy COWS they tend
to impart disagreeable flavor to
the milk. Rutabagas make
splendid feed for hogs when
boiled, but not raw. Mangles
may be fed to hogs raw with very
good results.
Animals fed roots are always
in healthier and better condi-
ton. With roots there is no need
OF expensive stock foods. Roots
are a valuable feed, both in milk
and meat production. No farmer.
should think of getting along
without roots for his stock,
especially in this.section of the
state. Plan on making a start at
least next spring.
The best system Of growing
roots will be taken up in another
bulletin before the planting
season.

Experiment Station, Bulletin 81.

ROOTS AS A FEED FORLI STOCK.
In producing cheap feed fer
the wintering of live stock there
is another very important crop
aside from fodder corn. Thisis
the root crop. The importance
Of this crop is very far indeed
from being appreciated to It's full
extent, and especially in this
section of the state where grain
feed is so expensive. From IL to
20 tons of roots can be grown on
an acre of ground and at cost
not exceeding $40, including the
blowing of the ground, seed,
cultivation Of the crop, harvest
ing and getting them in the
cellar. Twelve tons Of roots,
which is only a very ordinary
yield and which may be prod uced
at the above stated expense, is
equal in feeding value to either
three tons of bran or shorts for
dairy cows, pigs or sheep. The
cost of the latter feed at the
present time is over five times
the expense of producing the
roots.
In 1904 two acres of roots Zone
of rutabagas and one of mangles)
were grown on the Experiment
Farm. The rutabagas yielded at
the rate of Is tons per acre, the
mangles 1875 per acre. A small
plot Of mangles near the Darn
yard, on very rich soil, yielded
at the rate of "a tons per acre.
/ The field roots were on soil
rather low in fertility. A rich
soil is necessary for very large
yield, and a sandy loan more
favorable than clay soil.
/ Duringithe winter the mangles
we're fed to the dairy cows, the
rutabagas to steers, young stock
and sheep, all giving very salts
l factory results.
In 1905 an experiment was
conducted with different kinds
of roots rutabagas, mangles
stock carrots and sugar beets
i being planted in separate plots
in the same field. At planting
time, June I, the ground was
very wet, and both the seed o:
the sugar beets and mangles
we're drowned out, producing NJ
i crop. Thelrutabagas and stocl
carrots came on. and produced /
lEgood crop, the stock carrots
yielding at the rate of 16 tons
per acre, the rutabagas Il tons

things that an American citizen
has to do is to vote and it is a de-
plorable fact that the majority of
the voters within this United
States will not vote without being
asked, persuaded or taken to the
polls by some one interested.
This state of affairs is very dis
couraging, especially in cases
like our coming bond election.
Should there be 500 votes cast on
the bonds and 400 against bond
ing the city it would please your
Hon. Mayor and city council far
better than though we have 100
votes cast and SO were in favor of
bonding the city. The reason
for this is plain. We are servants
of the city of Bemidji and have
decided that improvements are
needed and have taken it upon
ourselves to devise means where
by these improvements can be
made at once, and now we have
an opportunity and desire to get
the wish of the people and to do
this it will pe necessary for every
one to vote. Those WHO do not
think well of the proposition from
business standpoint should
vote. and those in favor of max
ing improvements and sspaying
for them by bonding the city
should also vote. The council
desires every body to come and
express themselves, but should
we receive but 100 votes and SO
in favor of bonding the city we
would be much disappointed, as
it would not be an expression of
the majority of the people.
The city council has been doing
some hard work in starting the
new machinery going and it
would be a great stimulant and
an incentive to continue along
the same lines if every voter
would go to the polls next Tues
day and express his opinion.
Our great desire is that you vote.
Don't kick after it is over but go
and vote. Don't blame the coun.
Gil, for we shall do the best we
can, but come and show us what
you want by your vote. Don't
expect us to go through the year
without making mistakes as we
are not infallible, but vote and
help us to keep from making
mistakes.
Don't think we want to spend
our time looking after the estab-
lishment Of a sewer system and
the extension of the water mains
of our city unless you want them,
but please vote and let US know
what you do want.
Respectfully,
