tanned so bales of cotton. one loaded
with merchandise. and the other two
eulDties. is now estimated by the off,
Gals of the West Point Route at ap-
proximately $4,000.
The origin OF the fire remains mys-
terry. some claim that II started in one
OF the cars loaded with cotton. others
that IL caught from spark from pass
ing engine. ani incendiarism is init
mated. Just how ii started may ever
remain a mystery. In the yards OF the

what amount the damages would have

THE STORAGE OF ROOT CROPS

Root crops are valuable for stock feed
Ing. both for their content of digestible
nutrients and in supplying succulent feed
for the winter months. Under good con-
ditions a large amount of feed per acre
can be grown from roots; for this rea-
son they are useful on small farms
where the amount of land under cult
walton is small.
Roots can probably be grown for less
than 81 per ton under favorable condi-
tons The cost of production per acre
is approximately s35 per acre.
Mangels give the heaviest yield per
acre, with rutabagas and -turnips a close
second, and carrots third
Carrots and rutabagas are about equal
in percentage of digestible nutrients, and
are higher in this respect than either
mangels or turnips.
Turnips and rutabagas do not keep so
we'll as some other roots They should
be fed in the fall and early winter in
the order named.
Mangels and carrots keep we'll over
winter when properly stored.
The best place to store roots is in a
root cellar near where they are to be
fed. Such a cellar may be a part of
barn. basement. or it may be built con-
veniently near to the stock barn. In
most places the root house can be built
narily cement is the only material that
has to be purchased. The gravel and
sand are usually available at no great
distance on most farms While the tenn
perature in root house should never
fall to the freezing point, it should be
at low point for best results in keep
ing roots. EI
When no cellar is available. roots may
be stored in pits. For fall, and early
winter feeding, they nesd not be covered
to any great depth The roots are put
I'm a conlcal pile about four feet IN diam
eter on a bed Of clean straw. then COW
cred with a layer of two inches IF ioug
straw Clean rye straw is preferred for
this purpose. The straw at the apex IF
the pile is made to form chimney five
or six inches IN diameter for ventila-
ton. Dirt is thrown on the pile to
depth Of six inches. The roots are piled
as high as possible so as to shed water.
