The Carrot is one of the most wholesome and nutritious of our garden roots, and deserves to be more extensively 
used, both for culinary and stock feeding purposes. We urge our readers to give some of the early 
table sorts a trial. For feeding stock, especially horses and milch cows, the carrot cannot be surpassed, and it should be 
more largely grown by farmers for this purpose. 
Culture While a sandy loam made rich by manuring the previous year is the best soil for the carrot, any good land 
if thoroughly and deeply worked, will produce satisfactory crops. When it is possible to do so, it is advis- 
able to sow as early in the spring as the ground is fit to work, though good crops may, in this latitude, be grown from sow- 
ings as late as June 15, but one is less certain of good crops from such late planting. For table use sow the smaller kinds as 
early as practicable in rows 16 to 18 inches apart and for field culture prepare the ground thoroughly and sow in drills 18 to 24 
inches apart, using from one and one-half to three pounds to the acre, according to the distance between rows. Cover one- 
half to one inch deep and see to it that the soil is well firmed above the seed. As soon as the plants appear, use the cultiva- 
tor or wheel hoe and do not let the weeds get a start. Thin the smaller table sorts to 8 to 10 to the foot and the field varieties 
to 3 to 6 inches apart in the row. For winter use gather and store like beets or turnips.
