Only one reason presents itself, namely, that turnips have a very short season and may be raised in a corn field by sowing the seed lmmed- jately after the last working. insiead Ducks may be made more profitable than any other kind of poultry by good management.

Tne most useful man on a dairy farm is a good milker, one who not only likes cows but whom the cows like in return, and if you ever get hold of sueh a man do not let go of him so long as he can with reason be retained, Probably women make the best milkers, but they are not strong enough to per- form this work profitable 1n a dairy, We have always found the little man far as na.ionalty is a guide. Ameri- caus, as a rule, are not patient enough, while some nationalities are patient to the borders of laziness, We can state in what situation lime has been most useful. From its power to decompose it has been found useful on poor granite solls, From Its caustic nature it corrects Injurious matter, sach as sulphate of iron in soil. Lime breaks up and pulverizes suff clays, improving their texture. It decomposes inert vegetable matter, peat, roots, ele, It hastens the decay of stable manure and dead carcasses, putrescent matter, etc., but in all such cases if the manurial qualities are to be made use- ful they must be covered with earth during the action of the lime to absorb the ammonia, Tur plough will do better service killing weeds, if they be of heavy growth, than will the cultivator, If the weeds be turned under they will aff rd excellent green manure, especial ly if they be very thick, FACETIA.
