THE mangolds are to come in this month. The cows are fond of the tops, and they will do them good. The carrots, too, are to be got in, and the best way is to cut off the tops with a sharp spade as they stand in the ground, and then rake them up to feed once a day to the cows. Run the plough along near the rows to loosen them, when they can be taken out with a fork. It is slow and hard work to pull them by hand, and the plough saves time and work. The carrot is rather costly to raise and there is some doubt if it pays as well as the mangold to raise for stock, but it is ever so handy to have a few to feed out in cold weather. Forest leaves make fine bedding,
and it is worth while to rake them
up and get them in before the
handy and they help to build up
snow flies. A few loads will come
the manure pile, and so a few odd hours can very well be spent in this work. It is best to pick the winter apples by hand and to handle them with care. They don't bring as much as they ought to, but well put up they
add to the income of the farm and, on the whole, pay well to raise. What should we do without them?
