France Warner of Wright county,
Iowa, clears $1,000 year from his &C.
acre farm. This would not be hard if
1t were a truck or dairy farm near
some big city, where the produce
could be sold for special prices; but
his is simply general farm farmed
on the intensive order.
The farm consists of IS acres Of
rolling farm land, with the remaining
81 acres fiat river bottom with
enough of a rise at one place for the
farmstead. The 45 acres are used for
crops on which three-year rotation

toned. Every fall the stubble ground
and new clover is covered with a
coating of manure. This helps to pro.
tect the clover during the winter and
at the same time gets the use of the
manure on the clover ground and the
corn. BY doing this there is but very
little extra fertility saved over for the
oat crop, and therefore 1t does not
lodge under ordinary climatic condi-
lions.
OF course, with as small a place as
that everything receives the very best
of care, both in the field and in the
stable. Only the very best is saved
for reproduction. The crops that his
three 15-acre fields produce on the
average are:
Fifteen acres corn at 70 bushels
equals 1,050 bushels
Fifteen acres oats at 60 bushels
equals 900 bushels.
Fifteen acres clover equals 40 to As

This is utilized right on the farm

CULTURE OF ROOT CROPS
May Be Grown Successfully on EitheI
Light or Heavy SoiI-Best on
Loan Soils.

The growing of root crops deserves
more attention by farmers who do
not have silos in which to store succu-
lent feed for their stock.
Roots of various kinds have al
ways been held in high esteem by
farmers and stockmen. In England
and other European countries, they
are generally raised for feeding to
all classes of live stock, where, owing
to the cool summers, corn does not
do well. Roots are depended upon to
supply succulent feed for the winter
months. To quite an extent the same
is true of Canada.
One pound Of dry matter in man
gels has been found TO be equivalent
in feeding value to ono pound of
dry matter in mill feeds, and little
more than one pound of dry matter
mangels may profitably replace one
half of the grain ration under condi-
lions where the roots can be pro-
duced for 81 per ton. In those expert
ments the roots were fed to dairy ami
mails. In many sections, the silo has
not yet come into general use On
such farms root crops are of double
value for they may be used to supply
succulence as we'll as feeding value.
In fact where winter dalrying is prac-
ticed they become almost indispensa-
BILE for best results.
Aside from the value for feeding
purposes, there are other good rea-
sons for raising root crops With good
care and preparation of the soil a
large amount of feeding material can
be grown upon an acre. Twenty tons
per acre is not an uncommonly large
yield under good conditions of soil
and weather; yields of over twice that
amount have been reported For such
enormous yields 1t is necessary to
have a rich soil
Another advantage is that grain
crops of all kinds do well after roots,
for the latter not only necessitate
clean cultivation, but open up the soil
by means Of their long roots. Guilt
waited crops should come regularly in

labor problem for extra help during

so that he Is not out any cash, but
simply little labor.
His pasture also deserves special
mention. AS stated at the beginning,
it is bottom fiat and starts very
early in the spring. Early In the
spring it is disked where it appears
soddy and is seeded on the barren
spots. The entire lot is covered with
light coating of manure and the way
it responds is amazing. However.
part of July it gets little dry and
| barren At this time he feeds little
extra by cutting some rape from his
hog lot which is, as rule, quite heavy
| at this time, and quite frequently gets
too coarse and heavy for the pigs to
handle. This is done only for short
time until he gets his grain stacked
! and the new clover comes on. This
year he is going to solve the problem
| by putting up silo. BY this method
he will have supply for the summer
and at the same time nave better win
ter feed for his stock, in the form OF
! succulence.

the rotation, and roots should be in
cluded in the list of such crops on
all stock farms
Root crops are valuable for stock
feeding, both for their content of d.
gestible nutriments and in supplying
succulent feed for the winter months.
This is true in all parts Of the coun-
try, but more especially in the states
where winters are long and severe
Under good conditions large
amount of feed per acre can be
grown from roots, and for this reason
they are useful on small farms where
the amount of land under cultivation
is small.
Roots do best on loan soils, but
may be grown successfully on either
light or heavy soil, providing the
ground is properly fortified and pre-
pared. Thorough preparation Of the
soil and an abundant supply of avail
able plant food are necessary for
good returns.
Mangels give the heaviest yield per
acre, with rutabagas and turnips a
close second, and carrots third. Tur-
nips 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.
