" THECARROT'S PROGRESS 2 ‘Yankee prejudice against the carrot as ow fodder and the idea that only a 1 muskrat which will travel for miles [overiand to get caught in a trap bated y a carrot can get very enthusiastic over this vegetable has been so thorough- 1y dissipated that carrots are now a rég- lar staple in all markets and an almost dispensable artigje of cookery. | They now even put them in Irish stews ite the hostility of their complexions. The delicacy of young carrots is fully appreciated and the flavor bf the mature )vegetable in soups and stews is regard- n-d as almost indispensable with present- ay cooks. New varietles of carrots are rl:elng introduced from time to time -and there is now glmost as great a variety in the size and shape as there is in the rad- ish. Barly, late and mid-season varieties in short stumpy roots, and intermediate |shapes and sizes all with some quality or ‘other to recommend them are found in ,eatalogues. < Sow carrot seed and radish seed ‘to- b ) [ Jare 36 hours old or more, when gether by way of experiment, if you have never tried it. The radishes will be up a long time ahead of the carrots, which are slow germinators, and the more ambiticus radish will have the soil broken up to ease the way of the infant carrots to the surface. By the time the carrots need space the radishes will have been pulled and eaten. If you garden has light sand ysoil, the carrot has an “ideal situation provided there is plenty of fertility in the soil. It delights in light, warm soil, but it will grow anywhere else very well provided the soil is well drained and culitivated. For the finest and tenderest carrots, it & necessary to irrigate in the hot dry weather. The extra tenderness due to this care 'will be very noticeable. Carrot seed mway be sown as soon as the ground can be worked and at inter- vals ‘until into July for succession crops of young carrots. In May sow for the main ‘erop of fully matured roots. Give a foot and a half between rows with the plants from 3 to 6 inches apart in the rows, according to the size wanted. A heavy growth of weeds is sure death to the carrot when it is just getting a start. As a rule, short thick-rooted carrots are best for the early crop with the long and half long varieties for the mature root crops. YOUNG GOSLINGS Goslings do not need feed until they they should be given stale bread. soaked milk or water, to which. finely ch boiled eggs may be added.

After two or three weeks, if the gos- lings have a good grass range tbey will fheed only one light feed daily cf a mash made up of two parts shorts and ‘one part of corn meal ,or ground ats or ground barley. After they are six old, if they still need extra feed, change the mash to equal parts, shorts, corn- meal and ground oats, with § per cent. meat scrap. When the pasture is goo many goslings are raised from the time they are two or three weeks old to fat- tening time without any grain feed, byt the addition of a mash as described above is an advantage at all time. Whole grains are not ushally fed until the gos- lings are well fed. COWPEAS EXCELLENT - AFTER IT 18 onm It cut at the right stage of growth and properly handled, cowpeas make excel- lent hay of high-feeding value.

Spinach growe quickly and . requires fir’ little cultivation except to loosan the soil a trifle between e rows and keep weeds from getting a start. If the plants are too thick—that is, crowd each nther—they can be thinned out and those removed in thinning cooked for greens. The plants left will then have room to gro wlarger. Spinach is very desirable as an early spring .green, as it contains plenty of iron and other mineral matter. It should always be used while young and tender. GIVE THE DAIRY COW SALT.

In a general sense, productive farm land is land that is used to produce crops, to pasture animals, or furnish a supply of fuel, timber, maple sugar, or other -profitable forest products. Nonproductive land is that portion of a farm which is taken up by the farm buildings, by lanes and roads that are unnecessary, fence rows that' are too wide, open ditches, headlands, swamps, rocks, ravines, sloughs and streams, or pasture land that does not economically support live stock. she | Griffin for labor | bills.
