The Best Root For Farmers

Among other practical questions answered at one of the State Farmers' institutes was the one, "What is the best root for farme.rs to grow?" This was answered by Mr. Curtís, of Saratoga connty, who said: The best root is the carrot, but the cheapest to produce is the turnip, and the progressive farmer must be its friend. Breeding sows can be wintered ándalo grandly on flat turnips and clover hay, nothing else. They will do better on other roots, but we can grow two crops on the same land on which the turnips are produced. For instance, one acre of good clover will furnish the hay for a score of hogs and the turnips also. People talk about a turnip flavor to mük and use milk with a mannre flavor. There is too much senseless prejadice and notion about a great many things. Let us produce the foods which we can get the cheapest, and especially if they are healthf ui.
