CARROTS FOR STOCK. 
Carrots make excellent feed for livestock. They may 
be substituted for grain or other concentrates to the ex¬ 
tent of replacing one-half of the dry matter. When 
thus used 8 to 10 pounds of roots will replace 1 pound 
of concentrates. Roots can be produced for from $4 to $5 
per ton while other concentrates cost about $30 per ton.
