Field Carrots are of high nutritive value; also a great tonic, keep- 
ing the stock in good condition. Horses are especially fond of 
them and in many stables are fed carrots once a day. The wise 
dairyman knows the value of carrots for cows, as they will not 
only increase the flow of milk and improve the quality, but will 
give a rich, golden color to the butter. The roots are smooth, 8 to — 
10 inches in length, about 3 inches broad at the shoulder. The 
flesh js crisp, solid, sweet, white and very nutritious. Pkt., 15 cts.;
