Carrot seed, if sown when the soil is cold, germinates slowly, so that it is best 
to allow the warm spring weather to have set in before sowing. When sowing be 
careful to roll the drills, or in some way " firm " the soU round the seed. Four 
pounds of seed will sow an acre.

While strongly advocating the growiug of Corn and the Silo system, it is a"" fact] that 
many sections of the Dominion are better adapted lor growing roots than Corn, and even 
where Corn can be successfully grown we advise the sowing of roots as well. Both are best. 
The sowing of the BEST QUALITY of seeds is of tne utmost importance, but the farmer has 
to do his part also, and success with root crops need not be expected unless the land be thoroughly and deeply cultivated and from twenty 
to thirty loads of stable manure applied the previous fall (or its equivalent in artificial manures) per acre.
