Carrots and parsnips are not grown
extensively in this country, partly be-
cause they do not grow such heavy
crops as turnips and mangels ana
partly because their cultivation is more
troublesome.
When we consider that these roots
are so much less watery than turnlps
the question of light cropping may De
dismissed. for an acre of either of them
will yield about as much real feeding
matter as an acre of the heavier crop
ping turnips.
These two crops have almost the
same food value. the difference be-
tween them being that the carbohy-
drates of carrots are principally sugar.
while in parsnips they are largely
starch. They may be used to advan-
tage for any kind of stock.
Carrots are particularly useful to
tempt the appetite Of sick animals
when off their feed. A few of them
added to the feeding of horses are well
known to have a good effect on the
skin and coat. There is noggreen feed
ing better than carrot leaves for dairy
cows.
a few drills of one or other of these
crops should be sown with the green
crop each year. Carrots are the heavier
troopers of the two, but they require
rather light SOIL Where the soil is
strong parsnips are more likely to sue
coed than carrots.
Cabbage deserves to be used in any
dairy country more extensively than it
is. 1t has about the same nutritive
value as swedes and is heavier crop
per. It has the further advantage
of not causing an Objectionable flavor
in milk, such as follows the use of tur-
nips.
Still, in feeding cabbage to dairy
COWS great care must be taken to be
sure that no unsound leaves are used
as unsound cabbage leaves cause q

TELL NG THE AGE OF EGGS

/. In the Paris markets they have a
certain way of deciding the age of eggs
which seems practical.
About six ounces of common cooking
salt is put in a large glass, which is
filled with water. When the salt is in
solution the egg is dropped in the
glass.
If the egg is only one day old it i'm
mediately sinks to the bottom of the
glass.
If three days old it sinks only just
below the surface.
From five days upward it floats. The
older it is the more it protrudes out of
water.

greater the number of sheep which
can be dipped in day. There is con-
siderable variation as to the width Of
watts found on different farms. and as
a usual thing they are wider than
necessary. Then, too, the narrower the
vat the less the dip required to fill it.
A vat twenty inches wide at the top
and eight inches wide at the bottom is
a fair average as regards width. al
though some very practical sheep men
construct their watts as narrow as six
teen inches at the top and six inches
at the bottom when the vat is four feet

NOTES OF THE HOG LOT

Glover is our cheapest hog food and
every farmer should plan to use all he
can of 1t.
Better send the pigs to bed hungry
than to send them into wet nest with
full stomachs. The results are the
same and the cost less.
While the hog is considered the most
filthy of animals, yet no kind of ami
NAL appreciates pure water more than
do hogs.
Overlooking is worse than UNDER
feeding, because you not only retard
the growth of your stock but waste
your feed.
