STORAGE OF THE ROOT CROPS
Concrete Cellar Is Economical and
Easy of Construction-Pit Also
Found Satisfactory.
lBy E. J. pELw1cHE wisconsin.l

Thy E. J. DELWICHE. Wisconsin)
Root crops are valuable for stock
feeding, both for their content OF dt
gestible nutrients ano in supplying
succulent feed for the winter months
Under good conditions a large amount
OF feed per acre can be grown from
roots, for this reason-they are use
full on small farms. where the amount
OF land under cultivation is small
Roots can probably be grown for
less than 81 per ton under favorable
conditions. The cost of production
per acre is approximately $35 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 per cent. OF digestibIe nutri-
ents, and are higher in this respect
than either mangels or turnips.
Turnips and rutabagas do not keep
so well as some other roots. They
should be fed in the fall and early
winter in the order named
Mangels and carrots keep well over
winter when properly stored
The best place to store roots is in a
root cellar near where they are to be
fed. Such cellar may be a part of a
barn, basement, or 1t may be built
conveniently near to the stock barn
In most places the root house can be
built most economically Of concrete.
Ordinarily 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 temperature in a root house should
never fall to the freezing point, it
should be at a low point for best re-
suits in keeping roots.
When no cellar is available, roots
may be stored in pits For fall and
early winter feeding. they need not be
covered to any great depth. The roots
are put in conical pile, about four
feet in diameter on bed of clean
straw, then covered with a layer of
two inches of long straw Clean rye
straw is preferred for this purpose
The straw at the apex of the pile is
made to form chimney five or six
inches in diameter for ventilation.

NOTES

Corn silage is not considered very
good feed for hogs nor horses
Poorly fed sheep will not produce
very good wool, nor good mutton
In the feeding of live stock there is
chance for large leak and yet

A runaway horse is only safe in the
stable with good halter and the
stable door latched.
Skimp your sheep on good pasture
and they will skimp you on mutton
Works both ways.
BY the time the pigs are eight
weeks old they will be ready to wean
without any check in their growth.

You will be getting your male sheep

1t.

Cross Section of Pit.

Dirt is thrown on the pile to depth
of six inches. The roots are piled as
high as possible so as to shed water.
For early winter feeding the layer
of dirt should be thicker, and in ad.
dition a covering of straw or horse
manure should be placed over the
whole pile
A concrete root house which is &C
cessible at all times is much more
satisfactory and more economical in
the long run.
