By raising roots th$. farme -* 'will have the best and cheapest. jfhodfor hi stock, he can kdej> more stock and keep i in better condition, and as ho increases hi means of keeping stock he wiy have an in creased quantity .of manure with which h< can enrich his farm. \ >} ? ~ * i? i f t Though there are severe* am is oj root cultivated, and some may-he aimed to on kmd of soil, and-.a pother to other kinds ; sni some animals may prefer one kind,, whili another race of anim ds may preler a differ ent variety, A sjthis business progress** there will be exudi experiments and a nici discrimination in these respects.

Mhny ex periments show that roots are a good fa stock', as it tends to keep them in. a growmj state, a healthy condi ion, for fattening heel mutton and pork, and for producing a brgi : quantity of milk, during the season tha - " .cows (snnof get green herbage.

They may have gooc bay and good attention, but such dry food u not favorable-to their growth, and a large a. v . mount is expended-in keeping fhe annua ? from fill to spring, and what has the farmei for all this?for his summer's labor and winter's attention 1 - He has merely -pgasctj ' his creature from fall to spring; retaining his s'z?rand now ready to build upon by the use of proper food. But let the farmer have an abundance o ~ roots %r bis stock, and in alargo expenditun - he will add something more than u transmi of his animals from one season to another :n c-<* kn..o rlol, in mnrrow. muscle: ne win nuu ... , lender, and fat the most delieious, as the re suit of the superior keeping. If growth bt the object he will find an incrense that wil pay welTfor the expense Roots are not only a good food to kcq animals i t a growing condition, but it is on? of the best for fattening ?he'm. Cattle sheep, and hogs may be made remarkabh fat on roots, and in a short time u>Qr it erpe ditton be en object. Milch cows, fed liberally ojf roots, wil give as much mHk in the wrpfer as in thi summer, and the milk is generally .rich. Bj experiments that have been 'made, i * moderate quantity of roots given to cowi in the winter has caused a double quantity of milk. hi order for animals to thrive in winter . and for cows to give a good quantity o * milk, they need somo succulent food simdai to that on which they feed in summer, am roots supply this deficiency admirably well With roots, nnd any coarse cheap fo Jder cattle, horses, and sheep have been kept ii a good thriving condition through the winte efen better than they could have been kep ^ On good hay alone. ** As linimals require somo good sUcculen (bod to ke**p them in a growing state, at they require it for their health, and if the] ftto confined to dry fodder, disease will of ten be the consequence; as is evident fi-otj animals being more liable to disease in th< winter and spring, when they have beei kept long' from their natural food. * Roots are not only a good and chcaj food, for fattening animals, for their health growth and the Secretion of milk, but tHej constitute a good food for laboring animals Hor -es and catlle have worked hard wheuYei on roots instead Of grain, andthpy have en - dared their dabor well and continued in j good and heaitby condition. Roots a Cheap Food for Stock. As i general thing we get 12 times as mam bushels of roots to the acre, as wo do o grain. The same land that wiH yi?M SOkbush els of com to the a?re will generally yi*4 600 busbols of roots. As to the correctness c this remark we would observe that farmer usually reckon 40 or 50 bushels of corn a average crop, and 5 or 600 bushels of root an agerage crop. If we take .the lurgej crops that have been produced, we find bu few instances of 100 bushels of corn to th acre in New England, while the cases c 1200 buahete of roots tire-more commoi 4 ARM ^ J .1 A* DCI ' ; * *7~ - t* ? ? ?> % ' .

It may "be more lahorto cultivate oil ncrt in roots than an acre in Corn, but the diff'r ence io cultivation is not probably ^reatei *? that) the difference in the two crops in exhausting the soH, /Grain crop6 extiuost, while root crops ameliorate tne soil. It will here be observed by some farmers that besides the grain from corn there will 10 be a considerable value in fodder. True 10 there will; but the fodder from con> will not, wethink.be worth more than the f?. ? liage of beets, which is excellent food for milch cows, and generally amount to three s? or four tons, green, to the acre. Y If we compare a crop of roots with that ^ of aqy of the small grainsi we shall find that e the grain is raised with less expense fb the 11 acrejhat^orn, and that 4ho crop dsdess, ao that on deducting enough from a crop of u roots to pay for tlie difference between the ' cultivation of the roal crop, and the grain s crop, and then, we believe, there would be 12 bushels of roo s to one of grain; We may mistake, but we wish for farmers to make their estimate andcorrcct any error s which they may .discover." * 3 Wo would not say any thing against the ? raising of corn anck the small grains in ahundmoe, but only recommend that a good - share of attention shoiild be gi ven to raising f: roots, as they are Cheaper and better ^food ? for stock, apd iend>more to the general hn 8 proivement oj the ftfttn.*" * Root Crops Improve, the Soil. By *lhe B cultivation of roo:s the eoH becomes. vefy * finely puvcrixed, and cleansed of weeds; s and as a large surf ice hfleaves is presented j to the atmosphere,they imbibe the rich gas. es and obtain from the air the principal nu. B triment for the crop. Imhis way a lergu Crop is raised without injury to the soil, and 8 that crop is converted ipto manure and pro. B duces a large qunntity-from the acrq, which * applied to the sqil enncn*** it more man me * produce from any other crop. * 80 as ihe roet crop fakes less from the richness-of the * soil and returns more than arty pther crop, ii-b eyi'J^nt that ibissySi^m'irnproves a faun Very .fast. " . " As the root crops areincrea?e<f?thr? mean* r of keeping stock are Increased, nnd of j? course, the qonntily of manure is increased.; ] so the foot crops aod manure increase each /other* with a corresponding increase and 1 profit in the stock, and. improv<'mont in the farm, till the profit of the farm nn i its value 1 are doubled. Tin's is no wffm, no f?Ue 1 theory, but a sob r calculation founded on ' .facts, as wo at all show before we leave the r subject. j The leaves of roots serve as a medium fot^ouveriing th* richness of the atmos' ph.cre into a valuable and abundant crop,and j thai crop is consumed and makes mnnore ; tor enrich the land ; so liiat the rkh^v vegetable productions, which abound in the j atmosphere during the warm season, are conveyed to the ^nrjh for ibe production of | various crops-and the permanent improve. ? merit of the soil; wrth the-great advantrge, a in ihe consumption of tne roots, furn'shing the farm?T with fat beef, mu*ton, and pork ; increased dai!) products, and food for the . support, growth and increase of all his do' mestic animals. > ' ~ . * .? . .' k As rootsdo not exhaust ihe soil Hke " ;oth*r crops, ami yet ybld twice or three ^ tirri^r as rmicli food for stock*, nnd manure ; in proporHop-, it is evident that they afe pro. tituble both for food, and in the general imyJ proyement of the land ; and combining these very important advantages, nofarnuT who ' -knows their value will neglect to raise th?yn ; ' and those whohaye oot experience in this busippes should depend upon the ninny n.U' j. tljorr.i -san its favor, so far as to make a fmj . experiment* Kinds of Roots Cultivated for Stock.

There m ?y be som* seasons in which *ow,* wing cannot be commenced so early as we j lr?ve named, but several kinds of turnips f yield good crops when sown >n July, so ibat j there is generally over three months in which some kinds of seed for root crops rn.^y be t soWn in a favorable time. This gives a great advantage, compared with the cuhivu\ tion of crops that must be sown ar at very near a particular pdint of time ; and its af ^ tbrJsa great codVonr nee to farmers to enter R largely into root culture.
