162 Oi Carrois,[March the weather be favourable, to have them up by the first oy Second week in October. He employs women to take them up with forks, which costs 101. The crop yielded 829 Win- chester bushels, equal to 4143 stone(of 14 pounds). Esti- mating the carrots at Gd. per stone(the price of oats at that time) they were worth to him 1031.

Each working horse in his employ is allowed 8ib. of oats per day. One half was taken away, and Supplied by an equal weight of carrots, and this was continued while they Jasted."The general opinion was, that the horses improved in their condition upon this food.

In 1805 he had three acres and three roods of a similar Soil Sown with carrots, which had previously borne a crop of oats. The first part of the Season was uncommanly cold, and afterwards unugally wet, which checked the growth of ihe tops, So that they never got to any Size, and were eaten off by Sheep. In order to facilitate the work, and at the Same time to Save eypense, he made a trial of the plough to take off the earth from the carrots, and then Setting in and turning them up.

The injury was trißing, and the expense not a tenth part what it had been. There were 108 carts of 80 stone each, or 2246 Stone per acre, which, at 6d. per Stone, would amount 10 60l. and upwards per acre. He has made use of them as in the preceding year, with the most complete Success, and Saved 60 bushiels of oats per week, and Shall be able to con- tinue to do 50 for a fortnight or three weeks longer.

In the first tial an acre of carrots was equal in food ta 23 of oats, allowing 60 Winchester bushels of oats per acre, and at three stone the bushel. On taking up the carrots, a Small piece was cut from the top of each, to prevent it from vegetating, and these were iinmediately uSed. The remain- der were piled in rows two feet thick, and five feet high, Jeaving a Space between each row for a free circulation of air. He does3 not doubt but thatthey would keep in this way for a length of time. He has always made immediate use of them, as old oats are more valuable than new, and, more- over, the Saying of oats is in itself a matter of much im-

ort.

The Success of these trials has determined him to extend the cultivation of carrots, and he has prepared ten acres for the ensuing Season.

Mr. Young recommends carrots as a substitute for hay: when they can be procured with little or no expense, this may answer; but he Says, when the ground is to be prepared for ihem at a considerabie expense, cheaper Substitutes may be
