It helps out the stock in a dry time to be fine wonderfully, and if not needed in summer, it can be cured for winter use. Carrots may still go in, though we would rather have sown them earlier. As to the Swedes, the 20th or the 25th of the month is the best time. If sown earlier, they are liable to rot in the fall. Every farmer ought to have a full supply of roots for his stock.
