Jf U Mg8P» iinwjiiwBBWWWMI Copyright, [S99, by Peter Henderson & C< 2** ::;;« »*s ki^PER ACRE V CARROTS. There is no more profitable root crop on the farm than Carrots, especially on deep, sandy soils. When grown as a field crop the finest and most shapely roots can be sold at a handsome profit, the balance fed to stock with the most beneficial results. Horses are particularly fond of them, and besides the nutritive value they seem to be asortof tonic to horses, keeping them in the best of condition with sleek-looking coats. They can be stored or pitted in the same way as potatoes and marketed or used during the winter. The best plan is to prepare the ground in April and harrow twice before sowing the seed the latter part of May. This will kill most of the weeds, and sown at this time the Carrots will come along quickly and be easily cultivated and kept clean. The rows should be 18 inches to 24 inches apart, and to secure large, shapely roots they should be thinned to 5 or 6 inches apart. Any farmer who once grows a good crop will appreciate their value and never be without them.
