May's Best Root Crops — For Stock Feeding 
E 
MAY'S Field Carrots 
KRY FARMER sltould plant a jew acres of carrots. They are 
very productive, less liable to disease than many of ths 
crops, and being sown earlier do not interfere so much with 
ibor in the busy time, neither is it necessary to store them 
lie in the year. They do not, like the potato, require 
IS before feeding out. Try a small patch of car- 
, farmer, and see if they don't pay. Most 
rs feed too much grain through the winter. 
away half the grain and feed chopped up i 
ts in its place, and the horse will keep just ^ 
cU and be better prepared for the spring

To KEEP CARROTS 
Carrots are easily kept over winter in cellars, 
^ providing they are in a temperature near 
he freezing point and are not too ripe when 
lug. Seed planted too early will ripen too 
oon and cease to grow, and many of the leaves 
n\\ turn yellow. Such roots do not keep well, 
lut sprout long before spring, even if kept cold, 
n dry cellars, it may be necessary to cover with 
aam or sand to prevent the carrots f(;om wilting.

1,000 bushels have been grown to one acre. They need 
not be dug in the fall; the hogs should be turned 
out on them and they will help themselves by 
rooting for them. They are also said to be a perventative of hog cholera and other diseases, 
\ They are highly recommended for milk cows. as they greatly increase the yield of milk, 
x Three to five bushels will plant an acre. They will frequently remain in the land many 
years even if not cultivated. They are easily injured by frost when not covered with 
earth but in the ground they are perfectly hardy, for the best results they require rich 
soil. Artichokes rnay be grown from the seed, but this is seldom attempted; it is 
customary to grow them by cutting the large tubers and planting the same as potatoes 
Plant them in April or May, in rows 3 feet apart, and 2 feet apart in the row, and cover 
about 2 inches deep. Pound 35c., 3 pounds $1 00, by mail, postpaid; by express 01
