Stock Carrots 
Carrots make excellent feed for livestock. 
They may be substituted for grain or other con- 
centrates to the extent 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 $6 to $8 per 
ton. Improved Long Orange is used for stock 
and table. See page 28 for other root crops. 
111, LONG ORANGE BELGIAN. (90 
days.) While most of our other varieties of car- 
rots also can be profitably grown for stock, Long 
Orange Belgian, on account of its great produc- 
tiveness, is especially desirable for that purpose. 
The roots are mammoth in size, about 14 inches 
long, yielding often as high as 10 tons per acre
