Roots For Dairy Stock.

By care in preparing the soil and
growing the crop. from fifteen to TWEEN
ty-tive tons of roots. like mangels, ruta-
bagas or stock carrots. can be grown
per acre. They can be stored under the
feeding alley or in a pit outside of the
barn at very little expense. Twenty
tons of roots win supply ten cows
twenty pounds per day each for 200
DAYS and can be grown and harvested
at a cost of less than $40. The nutri-
ents contained in twenty tons OF roots
are worth $50 when bran Is worth $50
per ton. so the feeding value OF the
roots is sufficient TO pay for the cost Of
production. besides the additional adj
vantage of their supplying the succu-
lence needed by the animal.-Home and

ADVICE en- SUGAR BEETS.
Cultivation Points Found Good by the
Ohio Department of Agriculture.

Have good loan land, That which
raises the best corn is the best to raise
beets.
Land must be deeply plowed. We
are after a root crop. not something
that grows above the ground
Use plenty OF seed. II you do not get
a good stand you will not get good
crop OF beets.
Seed is cheap and is furnished by the
factories at cost price.
Roll the beets well Roll again.
Watch the hand labor at the time
they are thinning and blocking the
beets This is important.
Cultivate thoroughly. Do not stop at
any time. You cannot fire beets as you
can corn.
1t is the cultivation that puts the
sugar in the beets.
The German farmer says, "You have
to hoe In the sugar"
The land must be thoroughly titled
not because beets will not stand more
water than corn. but because the hand
labor costs so much that the farmer
should not run any risk on land that is
not well tiled.
Beets take little more of the fertil-
ity from the land than corn. Accord
ing to Professor Hopkins, 1t takes 100
pounds of nitrogen. Is pounds of phos-
phorus and 100 pounds of potassium
for n twenty Ton crop of beets. The
fertility can be returned to the land by
blowing under the tops and feeding
the pulp to cows and putting the ma
nure back on the land.
Sugar itself is twelve parts OF carbon
to one part of water chemically united.
Beets get the water from the rain
that falls upon the ground; get the car
bon from the air through the leaves.
Beets raised on clover sod, the land
Of which has been thoroughly tiled,
could make easily twenty tons to the
acre.
Sugar companies now pay $3.50 for
beets testing 13 per cent and 3315
cents for every per cent additional.
The farmer should endeavor to In
crease the yield of sugar in the beet.
This they can do by thorough cultiva-
ton.

GARDEN SEED SOWING.
Hard to Find Man Who Can Perform
Operations Properly.

Among the different gardening opera
tons there is none more difficult than
seed sowing. To get a man who can
properly, SOW both broadcast and with
hand drill all the various seeds is al
most a hopeless task. The subject
needs close study to avoid heavy loss
es, which may come either way by over
or understanding or by entire failure
| Some operators would make US believe
that the time for broadcast sowing is
past absolutely. Such is not the case.
| There are times and subjects when
broadcast seeding is very successful.
The reason for this is very plain upon
investigation. Broadcasted seed Is Gov
cred at varying depths, so that under
almost all conditions a stand is obtain
ed. IL the weather turns wet after
seeding those seeds nearest the surface
will sprout; If dry the deeply buried
ones will have their chance. while by
the drill method they are all uniformly
covered; hence IL the weather turns I'M
favorable for the depth at which they
were sown the whole lot may be fail
ure. Old market gardeners know from
experience that it is easier 10 get
stand of lettuce, spinach, radish or tur-
nip by broadcasting than by drilling;
hence the method is still in use We
do not like broadcasting. but admit its
uses, says Gardening
To operate seed drills successfully
requires close attention. Where very
thin stand is desired and a drill set
very close 1t will be found that after
some time the machine has actually
sifted the seeds by allowing the small
ones to pass and rejecting the large
ones and thereby reducing the stand
for the last one-half. Some machines
will not stand close regulation at all.
as they choke up unless the flow Is lib
eral When this is the case the only
way out 10 to proceed rapidly, thereby
reducing the time for the seed TO roll
out Where land is too rough for nice
work such machines as have two
piece coverer can often be made to
work by removing one side Of the Gov
ering device, thus allowing clods to
pass. Another way to handle rough |
land Is TO precede the drill with sin
gle wheel hoe, using one slim cultiva-
tor tooth TO open a mark and roll the |
clods aside This can be made to work |
where nothing else will. Soils that |
bake readily can be handled similarly |
by opening a slight furrow. removing |
the covering device entirely and de-
pending upon the roller to firm the seed 1
without covering. This permits the
weak seedlings to come up through the
crevices There can be no greater mis- /
take made than preparing land too fine
If it Is liable TO puddle and bake. A
certain amount OF roughness is abso-
lutely necessary to keep such soils
open. .s1l.Sssf tl-,s sgx.s..y..z.gs

Almost everyone has read this fine
book, but for the benefit of the few that
have not. a slight sketch OF the story
may serve. Frederick Norman" is a
brilliant young corporation lawyer, who
has practically put himself at the head
of his profession, despite his youth.
Equally successful in social way, he
is engaged to pre-eminently the catch of
the season." Josephine Burroughs the
beautiful daughter of a fabulously
wealthy captain of finance Every
thing Is running smoothly until Norman
suddenly discovers hidden and msus-
pected charms in quiet little blonde
typewriter, Dorothy Hallowell, who
works in his office. From this point on,
the story is simple enough, and its
strength and interest depend rather on
the way in which the plot is unfoded
than in the plot itself Suffice it to say
that in the end Norman marries the
typewriter, having broken off his fash
ionable engagement As character
study the figure of Norman is sinrpl
enormous and equal force and art are
displayed by the author in the portrayal
of the girl 1t is beyond cayil a great
book and Mr. Shipman has successfully
transformed it into a great play, where
as glance above certainly indicates
that it will be presented by great com
pany.
