CUIiTURE. — Boot crops are higrhly valnalile and worthy of more 
general cultivation In the United States. The feedingr value of roots 
Is directly proportional to the dry matter content. This dry matter, 
pound for pound, Is equal to any grain; when fed to cattle is more 
eagrerly eaten and more digestible. This dry matter runs trom 10 
to 14 per cent of total weight. Thus a low yield of 20 tons would 
g'ive over 2 tons of dry matter, equal to 65 bushels of com. A sup- 
plementary ration of cereal is good. 
1 lb. Carrot seed, for $1.00, will 
BOW one-half acre, sufficient to pro- 
duce, on good soil, 12 tons of car- 
rots, egnal In feeding value for 
horses or cattle to 150 bushels of 
oats.

A BIG MONEY MAKER 
This is the heaviest cropping carrot 
grown, yielding more tons to the acre 
than any other sort. The flesh is 
white, solid, crisp and very. sweet; the 
roots are short and very heavy at the 
shoulder, which allows them to be 
harvested very easily. They do not 
break easily in pulling or storing, 
owing to their solidity and shape. 
This is not a carrot for gardeners, but 
is for farmers and cattle men. The 
roots frequently measure 13 to 25 
inches in circumference, and 15 to 25 
tons is not an uncommon yield. A 
few of these carrots should be grown 
by everyone, even if they only have 
one cow. Packet, 5c; ounce, 12c; 
14 pound, 35c; pound, 65c; pound, 
$1.10, postpaid.
