CARR KV AND KUTA BACA.
The produce of tlu-se crops is not s??
large in this State ns to r*'qu re much ex
pence or pains in their preservation. An
acre of rutabaga or cnrrotts is, upon the
whole a large quantity for .i?ny one farm.
As yet our farmers in the eulivation of
roots for stock, are slowly feeling thoir
way- Wo hope they will come out right
J* ut lust and that small experiments will
"* encourage them to extend the cultivation.
Thoy will presently lonrn that for keeping
stock, there arc many much more profitable
crops than English hay at u ton or a ton
and a linlf to un acre ; nndbv turning their
attention toother (tops, by which they will
have it in tlurr t ower to keep much more
stock, tin y will increase their manure heaps
ltd in this way quadruple. and in some casus
iocrouso ten fold, the pio uctivcncss of
their farms.
An acre in enror's mny ho easily made
to yield six hundred bush' Is. In the estimate
of an excellent f-.rmer in Herksh r
county, half enrro s and half oats are as
goods as oil oats ; or rattier to us*' his own
expression, he would profisr one hundred
bushels of carrots and one hundred
bushels of oats to two hun 'red bushel ot'oais
for his horses. The experience of n dis?
ungutsncM i?rinrr in Uugtami, in the practice
of keeping eighty horses on l?w farm
and intiis colliery entirely coufinus this statement.
No* a bushel of carrots a day with
chopped straw or sail hay, would, ue have
no doubt, keep n work n horse in hi<;h eon
ditiou, though it would probably bo uiurh
better in the case to give him in lieu of so
many cm rots, some* {train or meal. Half h
bushel of eairots per d.iv, however, nt
twenty-five cents per bushel, cut off" from
the alio*anco ma le above, would pay for
ail allowance of a peck of o.vs per day to o
horse. Upon tho supposition then, of hi'
being kept in the stable six mon'lts or on
hundred andeighty,throe days in a season,
an ucre of carrots yielding six hundred
bushels to the acre, supposing one half 10 be
sold at twenty five cents per bushel sod the
money expended in oats a' thirty.seven und
a halfcen's per bushel, to eat with the car.,
rots would conai Jortdily moo* thnn furnish
throe horses w ith hud* a bushel of carrots
each per day and two bushels of outs per
week, or more than n peck of outs p? r d iy
besides the half bushel of carrots. Under
this feed n liorsu would require vrv little
long feed of any km J to keep him in good
condition.
Now on the other hand, suppose th"
horse hns English hay, nnd if he is worked
he ought to have us uiuny o ils in the forim-r
case, b< sides, one horse will consume in tint
tune,at twenty-five pounds p'*r day, not leas
than two tons and a quarter,or the thrnc, six
tonyand three quarters : and this can hanlty
bo obtained from less than seven tier -s of
land of ordinary yield. The horses wil! not,
in the next p'uee, h : hy any means in so
good condition ; and the manure made
from this feed of not half the value us ihu
nnde in the other ensn.
This is, many will s-y. a mmnrkable
statement, hut it is well founded nnd not ut
all exonerated. In other respects it deserves
girticulir consideration. Tlieie
cannot he a douht of the. advantages to our
animals, in respect to hculih and comf.rl,
which tlie use; of succulent vegetable# in
soma proportions, would have over the dry
feed which we are accustomed ill our present
mode of keeping to givo them in the
winter season.
We might go on to speak of the gr*?on
vegetables for .stock in winter; the sugar
beet, the ruta bags, the parsnip &c. dc., but

our renders will fmd some valuable extracts
from Mr. Week's book on bees. Mr.

tion in relation *o the economy of these curious
insects and tiio method of managing

Week's work last winter, Hnd we would ad.
vise every npiariun who has not one of
those hooks to obtain it, as he enn luive a
fund o! useful mutter for only 115 cents.
In tlio extracts to which we have referred,
Mr. Weeks observes thai the cement used
hy the been in plastering up cracks in hives,
is used as food tv the moth in tho tarva
state. Wo havo never been troubled witli
tho btc moth ; and us we generally in the
spring put a coat of white wash, made of
fresh staked time and a good portion of salt,

1 on the lower part of the hivo on the insid ,
and whitewash ?ur hives on tho outsido, w
have thought that it wns a preven'ivc of in.
jury from the moth, but it may not he tho
case. We have used th whitewash for the
purpose of cieansiiig the board after the
d?-ad boos are romoved in tho spring, and
rendering the air pins and tho b"es heal htul,
and we hovo found it valuable for this
purpose.
A few years since we had seven or eight
hives of bees severely uttarked wi ll sick 1
noss so that no work was done, many bees 1
were dying and nil were dull iind idle,
made an experiment by tekiugsome* from 1
tho ground that were so far gone that we 1
took them up in our hands und they could 1
be just move, 90 or SO were put into a '
e glass and n g >od dose of salt white wash '
given thorn, uu i tlioy soon became acive, .
and appeared t > be res'ored to good henlih. 1
Wo then whitewashed the board oc-which '
tb<' hives act, and each hive on the inside sip '
to the comb. In a ft>w minutes the -bee*
wero scon busily sucking the liquid white. 41
wash, and they seemed to take Urge doses, 1
und the next day they were wi ll and about ?
their work. J1
We bought a hive of Ik?os last spring thnt l<
had nut been properly managed ; there u
were several nuiirt* of eomh hrolfMt, ftnm? "
and with a few thousand dead bees In id in n "
muss at tho bottom of thu hive, which with "
the perspiration of ih<' boo* hud rendered 1
the air damp and unwholesome ; we cleared u
lllia from the board, hut the bee* were dull *
and slow. Wo then whitewashed the board
nive, and tlioy soon bocurao active and industrious.
,(
It is bi Ht to take out the bot'om board "
and wash it clean, when the weather b?*- I1
?*oine* warm ill'he spring, and then white "
wash n nnd the luve. But bc.icr late tlinn "
never, and now the bees have begun their "
labor, they may not like an interruption in c
line weather, so this operation can he atten "
ded to in ti cold stormy day, or on n cold n
morning. n.
We do not suy that this method will pr<-vent
tlie depredation* from the moth, hui '
as we have practised it, and Iihvo ? v.*r M
been troubled with the moth, we have some *
euson to suppose that the lime and the stilt *'
have been a proven ivo ; from tho generul
nature of these two subsnncca it is reason 8
uble to llif? r they Woul I be offensive to the *
moth ; for though stilt and lime rnn\ bo a j'

upon which a bod was thrown by the

and slightly covered. Not morn 'lian one
lourih of the seed cum** up ; hut tint whie
did vsgetute, came up in a vigorous plant
and grow finely.
Ahout the first week in May, I shaved h
do* n, unit immediately after gave it a close
and deep ploughing. following with the ho**,
and dressed it up. Every three we* k* there
?ft> r, I gnvo it a tutp< rfi^i'd plo clung, with

giving it more bed. About the noddin
of August 1 Inid it by, by giving it as
superficial pl->ug:nng us p mible, then draw
at! up'o it Willi the hoe us heuvy a bed us
ti?t? sod woul I admit of.
On lue 10ii? of Juno it commenced
blooming. Ii prow up generally in one

It is from ten days ton fortnight earlier
in maturing than tin* Pout Gulf cotton, nod
: is ii h ?rdier plant and tougher wood ; it has
also n longer tup root than other cotton, and
thereby bears drought better, its staple is
inu:-h finer than the Petit Gulf, and I should
say, ut least 20 per cent, difference in their
| value. 1 have already gathered 24.H00

picking now in my field.
It must be observed, I hud but 3.4tht of

a.une laud capable of yielding 3000 lbs.
per acre, if planted at three feet, or in double

Tnere can be but one objection to thin
co ton ; it bonds to tlie ground by the weight
of its frui* ; but this, I believe can be^obvi.
