STORAGE OF THE ROOT CROPS
Concrete Cellar 10 Economical and
Easy of Construction-Pit Also
Found Satisfactory.

(By E. ]. DELWICHE, wisconsin,
Root crops are valuable for stock
feeding, both for their content of d.
gestible nutrients ana in supplying
succulent feed for the winter months.
Under good conditions a large alnoJct
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
close second, and carrots third.
Carrots and rutabagas are about
equal in per cent of digestible 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 a cellar may be part OF a
barn, basement, or it 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 nc
great distance on most farms. While
the temperature in a root house should
never fall to the freezing point, 1t
should be at 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 a conical pile, about four
feet in diameter on a bed of clean
straw, then covered with 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

To Help With Fireiess Cooker.

Many people do not seem to realize,
In using a freless cooker, that all
sorts of utensils besides the ones com
ing with the cooker may be used with
the heat radiators. For rice or Indian
pudding, or scalloped potatoes, for in
stance, prepare the mixture in an
earthenware or fireproof china baking
dish, which may go direct to the ia
BILE. Heat the radiator over a strong
fire Or gas flame until it is thorough
ly hot. Then place 1t in the cooker
and carefully lower the baking dish
down on it. If the food is of nature
to require very hot fire, second
radiator can be placed over 1t on the
rack. In this case 1t will be done in
two or three hours with a good firm
and slightly brown crust-Good

Chop fine any bits of meat, chicken,

which have been left over. When the
whole is chopped fine and thoroughly
mixed, add one or two beaten eggs.
The eggs can be dispensed with If nee

METAL COLLAR FOR A HORSE
Meets Much Favor With Horsemen
Because 1t Hardens Flesh and

1t is a mistake to use a very soft
collar on horse. The collar should
be as firm as it can possibly be made,
and If of leather, the surface should
be smooth, hard, and the collar itself
evenly stuffed with the best of hair,

ing material, such as protein and ash
Indeed there is no class of farm ami
mails to which some linseed meal
cannot be fed to advantage, especial
ly when the animals are deprived for
long periods of green or succulent
feeds. Linseed meal takes the place
of the high-price patent tonic stock
feeds and costs on an average only
about one-tenth as much. Every we'll
regulated stock farm should always
be provided with linseed meal.

way Of little dinner or supper. 1t is

which she has heard without inter

A quick and easy vegetable"
course for such meal is Welsh rare

paste Is boiled as usual in sailed wa
ter until tender, then drained and
stirred into thin, smooth paste. To
make the "rarebit," CRATE the cheese

into the cold milk, which heat slowly
until the cheese has melted. Stir
together and serve at once

menu is ham patties made of about
two kitchen cups Of cold cooked ham

is chicken salad served in a ring Of

is made IN this way: Whip stiff a
