There are but few tillable areas in
the United States where some one or
more Of the various kinds of root
crops cannot be grown, and there are
few men engaged in mixed farming
on small scale, but what could use
them to good advantage, but, gener-
ally speaking, when the word roots is
mentioned the imagination presents to
the minds eye a ten-acre field sug-
gestive of severe and prolonged back
ache We do not suggest the growing
of large areas of roots, considering
the way in which we propose to use
them, but rather from one to three
acres for the size of farm under con-
sideration. This small area if suitable
and properly handled, can be made to
produce large TONNAGE. The aver
age yield of the several root crops
computed from six consecutive years
trials, by Zavitz Of Ontario, resulted
in the following tonnages per acre,
viz: Carrots, 20 tons per acre man
Colds, "a; turnips, %; rutabagas, 20
and sugar beets, II tons. The area
of roots, mostly mangolds, grown an
nually at the Michigan Agricultural
College, does not exceed three acres,
and yet sufficient is produced from
this area to furnish the moderate
amount needed for our cattle, sheep

Poultry House Construction

Poultry houses may be built more
open and consequently less expens-
lively in our Southern States than in
the North according to investigators
of the department. However, a house
which gives satisfaction in Maine will
also give good results in Texas or
California. The best site for a poul-
try house in any location is one where
good water and air drainage are
available. The floor and yards will
then be dry. The house should not
occupy low hollow in which cold air
settles. Wherever possible, a south
ern or southeastern exposure should
be selected, although this is not es-
sential if there is any good reason for
facing the house in different direc-
ton.
Poultry House Construction" is
the title of the departments new Far
mer's Bulletin (No. 574), in which are
explained the main features that
should be considered, and in which
pictures and plans of satisfactory
houses are shown. Every poultryman
who contemplates erecting new poul-
try buildings is urged to write to the
department for this bulletin. which
will be sent him free on application,
as long as the Departments supply
lasts.
The "Intensive System" and the
COLONY System"
There are two popular ways in
which to raise poultry, the intensive
system" and the colony system" The
first of these aims to save steps, and
accomplishes this purpose. Long sta
tionary houses are used. It is easier,
however, to keep the birds healthy
and to reproduce the stock under the
second system.
Under the colony system, the birds
are allowed free range, the houses,
which hold about 100 hens each, be-
ing placed from 200 to $50 feet apart,
so that the stock will not kill the
grass. This system may be adapted
to severe winter conditions by draw
inc the colony houses together in a
convenient place at the beginning of
winter, thus reducing the labor during
the cold months. The first system is
more suited for hens used solely for
the production of market eggs than
for those used to breed stock.
As Few Fences as Possible.
Fences mean an outlay of money,
and this outlay is more or less con-

Roots for Swine.

Roots for Swine.
Mangolds, carrots and sugar beets
can be used in the raw state for swine,
but turnips and rutabagas cannot
without cooking unless the hogs are
starved to it. We have come to feel
that we cannot handle brood sows,
young growing pigs, and even feeders,
without at least one mangold, carrot,
or sugar beet per head per day dur
ing the winter season when the green
food is not available Cooking is UNI
necessary unless it is desired to mix
grain with roots. Frozen roots should
not be fed to pigs as they will produce
acours nor should they be fed in any
except the smallest quantity, to the
brood SOW directly after narrowing.
Those who have used roots in this way
for winter feeding seldom give up the
practice. At M. A. c. beets and man
Colds are being grown and harvested
by hogs which are turned in and per-
mitted to forage on them during the
entire fall; a partial grain ration is
supplied at the same time. In 1908,
roots utilized in this way gave re-
turn in pounds Of pork per acre val
ued at $37.77 and in 1904 at $3.50.

What Mexican Peon Can Do With Ae'
quired Land 10 a Matter to 30
a,ar. ar Settled by Time. t,,

The Mexican peon never had .
chance to, become a landowner. so no
one can say whether or not he Will
become a successful small farnaers
But the experiment has got to be tried.
The wants Of the peon are so simple
that some persons believe that, when
he once gets his land, hecwill not cultt
vate it to, the extent to which tt should,
be cultivated. Corn and beans are
chief crops. Ninety.dve per cent OF
the total OF. the whole Mexican popu.
lation may be said to rely: on corn as
the staf Of life. Cultivating g corn in
the primitive way is . very simple
matter, but II does not secure any
thing like the full productiveness OF
the land. The Mexican pson still
clings to the old.fashioned wooden.
pronged pillow, which merely scratches
the surface Of the soil. II requires
the use Of only one hand. Progressive
landowners have foundfdt extremely
difficult to get poems to use q two

Perhaps, when he has land for himself.
the ,peon will become more progress
sive. Anyhow, he. must be given the
chance to try what. he can do with
the lands-Christian Herald. .;

SHOW GRATITUDE FOR RELIEF
Elephants Cured, Of T~oothaehs Give
Every Demonstration Of Thank
fuiness to the Dentist. %

IL is not easy to ellfwhen an ele
plant has got the toothache, but 1t ID
best to keep out Of his way when you
do know it. A London surgeon, who
had been for many years II, India, says
he would ooner risk q railway acct.
dent than meet an elephant with tooth
ache. ts
It appears, that toothache affects an
elephant in q more severe. manner than
1t does any other animal. Elephants
have very sensitive nerves, and q
touch Of toothache often brings on
madness. =,
Providing you are able to chain
down an, elephant and draw out the
offending tooth, the brute is certain
TO- be- afectionate to you afterward.
Here is an, instance. ,
An elephant in Bengal, India, became
affected with toothache, but the keep,
ers managed to secure 1t while a:den;
tist drew q decayed tooth-the cause
Of the trouble. After a time the ele,
plant seemed to understand that the
dentist was trying to do something fol
his pain, and he gave every evidence
of %appreciating the attention. When
the operation was owe he frisked
round the dentist like a young lamb.
