Crops for Fodder
♦ Green fodder crops may be sown as extensivel}' as required. Under the favoring 1 influences of heat and moisture they will advance rapidly if tbe land is in a proper condition ot i fertility. We may remark here that \ it will never pay to starve any kind ot j crop. If Nature is treated liberally j she will give handsome returns, but j not otherwise. The largest profits ! eau only be realised by the most lib- ' eral outlay. Jerusalem artichokes are a most excellent food for stock, especially swine. A planting may now be made, setting the tubers fully three feet apart each way. Cabbage and kale for stock feeding are too much neglected. They are excellent both for the nutriment they yield as well as their health preserving properties. They should be planted out largely for autumn and wiuter use.
