RaisiDg Turnips.
Mr l'ditor: —I commonly p'ow for
lltin (Sri p us soon after mowing ns
1 can— suv by the first of July. 1
prefer a clover sod. as t is inu"h j
easier pulverized : I harrow and roll j
well, i then mark out about twenty (
inches apart, for the manure; hen;
tnnnure I prefer, and if I have not
sufficient of it I mix with guano ; 1
spread the manure in tho furrow,
double a furro v on this, and I have a
sm ill ridge ; I then take a hand-rake
and drag along to remove grass, roots
or small stones that may interfere
with the driM. My reason for ridg
ing i«, I can take a horse and culti
vator into t'lein full two wee -'8 soon
er than if putin a level, and there'jy
save at least one hand in hoing.
Last seasjn I used salt, in addition
to my prepared hen manure, and the
result was that my iuta - bagas were
nit lit to cat Whether the salt was
ihe cause of it 1 atu not prepared to
say, but .they were all bad at heart,
aid would not boil soft. 1 wa« in
iluced to use salt after reading an ar
ticle on fhti • culture, from yourcor
rc.«po»dent J. •
Snd. I wm careful to get seed
from the person that raised it; I then
know what I am drilling, One
pound of seed is sufficient for an acre
grjund. My time putting is about
the4loth of July. As soon as they
are large enough, I thin them to
about nine inches apart, always leav
ing the strongest stand.
Cultivating. I like a horse to
work slow, and move close, and a cul
tivator that will c'ose up for this crop.
I go three or four times through
before the lea ves cover the ground,
when they are left to take care of j
themselves.
I pull then just before the ground
freezes, and they are common'y bur
ied in the ground. I thihk they keep
much better in the cellar.
Feeding. After I uni done feeding
pumpins and sugar beets, 1 commence to
teed ruta-bagas to my cows ; I think they
are preferable to any othet feed, when
cows are coming in profit. I try to raise
enough to last until grass grows.
Purple top turnip. I sow broad ast
nbout tlie first of August, and mix seed
with pewter sand, in order to get them
evenly over the ground. I spread ashes,
• hip dirt or other short manure before
harrowing. ]f sowed just before a show
<r, they will be covered deep enough
■Should it be dry, I drag a h,iiid«nk
over them. 1 think best to put ■<!
fifty bushels in aheap, as they willmv.
and if in large heaps with no veritii-:
i hey will rot.

HOEING'CORN
Corn, where it is incliped to be weedy,
sltould be hoed three times—the first hoe
ing as soon as the corn is large enough
Many (armors in my judgment commence
hoeing corn when too small, and pile up
the dirt ar:)und it so that becoming stran
gled, as it were, it seems to stint the corn,
and it docs not get over it for somo time.
The principal object in hoeing the first
time should be to stir the ground and
•lestroy the weeds, which should be com
plctely exterminated, if possible, by hoc
ing them up and leaving them between
the rows exposed to the sun, which will
cause them to wither and die. Many
farmers hoe their corn in cloudy as well
ns fair weather. This is poor policy, as
the work, if done ever so thoroughly, docs
not result in the good that will follow a
warm dry day ; and a great many run
<>ver tl ci • hoeing as though all depended
on the quickest possible time it could be
passed over. Hence with a crew of iuen
and boys farmer ' Slack" goes aver his
cornfields, and the next day it lo iks a.*
though it wauted another good hoeing,
but it does not get it, and the result is seen
in a field crowded with noxious weeds
and the corn poorly filled out and green
when it should be ncar'y ripe, as well as
:ibout halt the crop raised that might have
been obtained if carefully cultivitcd. Corn
frhould be hoed the second time within
ten days of the first, and the ground thor
oughly stirred. Ido not think it to be
good policy to drive a horse and cultiva
tor betweeu the rows, as it is apt to cut
and tear up the roots of the corn, especi
ally when large. Do not make little con
ical hills as though«to shed the rain, but
hills broad and shallow. If your corn
comes tip to weeds after two good lioe
ings, take a hand or two from your hay
ing and go thlough ii and cut down the
weed*. The corn will ripen earlier and
get beyond the danger of early frosts,
and the weeds will not fall their ripening
■Mds tnto the earth to choke up youT
crop of wheat or o:ito another year. A
good farmer will Ixk to the future state
of lis land as well as the present.— Ger

A MOMENT OF HORROR.
For 23 yearj, old .Jake Willard has
cultivated thesoil of lialdwin couuly, and
drtwn therefrom support for himself and
wife. He is childless. Not long since
•Jake went in search of a cow. II is
course was through an old worn out patch
; of clay land, of about fix acres iu cx-
I tent, in the centre of wh eh wa« a well
: 25 or 30 feet deep, that at some lime.
| probably, had served the inmntesof a dili
apidated house neir by with water. In
passing by this spct an ill wind drifted
Jake's 1 tile" from his heal, aud mil -
ciously'waf'led it to the edge of the well,
and iu it tumbled.
Now, the old gentleman had always
practiced the virtue of economy, a.id he
immediately set about recovering the lost
hat. lie ran to the well, and finding it
was dry at the bottom, he uncoiled the
rope which he had brought for capfuring
lite truant cow, and alter several attempts
to catch the hat with a noose, lie conclu
ded to save time by getting down into
the well himself. To accomplish this, he
made fast one end ot the rope to a stump
hard by, and was soon on his way down
the well. It wits a fact, of which Jake
was no less obvious than the reader hrr2-
of, that Ned Willis was in the dilapida
ted old building aforesaid, and that an oil
blind horse, with a bell on bis neck, who
had been turned out to die. was laz ly
grazing within n short distance of the
well. The devil himself, or some other
wicked spirit, put it into Ned's cranium
to have a little fun ; so ho quietly slipped
up to the old horse, and unbueklciug the
strap approached with a slow and steady
"ting a-ling" to the edge of the well.
" Dang the old blind horse 1" said the
man at the bottom of the well; ''he's
coming fliis way sure, and ain't got any
more sense than to fall in hero. Whoa,
Hill!" .
Jiut the continued approach of a "ting
a-ling" said just as plainly as words that
lii 11 wouldn't whoa. Besides, .Jake was
at the bottom, resting before trying to
shin it up the rope.
" Great .Jerusalem !"'said he,"the old
cuss will be a-cop of nic before I can siy
.Jack Robinson. Whoa, dang it. Whoa!
Just tlieu Ned drew up to the edge o'
the well, and with his foot kicked a little
dirt into it.
" Ob, Lord !" exclaimed Jake, fallirg
on his knees at the Jottom. "I'm gone !
now—whoa! Now I lay me down to sleep '
—w ho a ! I pray the I.ohd iny soul to nli
nli , in ! Oh! Loud have uicrcy
'ip 11 me !"
Ned could hold in no longer, and fear
ing Juke might /ufl'er from bis fright, he 1
revealed himself. Probably Ned didn't
mako tracks from that well. Maybe Jake
wasn't up to the top of it in short order,
and you might think ho didn't try every
night for two weeks to get a shot with his
rifle at Ned. Maybe not, I don't know.
Hut I do know that if Jake finds out who
sent you this, it will be the last squib you
will get.
THE PEDDLER'S STORY.
Rev. Mr. Harris well known a< a Meth
odist itinerant of Indiana, as much dis
tinguisliel for his facetiousncss as he is
for his fine abilities as a preacher. lie
tells the following 011 himself:
In 1830 I was traveling on the C
Circuit. I had twenty-four appointments
to fill every four weeks, and of course had
a great many long horseback rides. On
one occasion I fell in company with rh
intelligent gentleman froui Kentucky ou
the lunnstite road, and we traveled sev- ;
1 ral miles together, when a rain ftirm I
drove us into a calin by theA-oadude.— j
The family had dinner on the table whi 11
we entered, and we wire kindly asked"to
sit up and eat a bite with them " w lich
of course we did, thinking at the same j
time the family was very clever to total !
strangers. Hut afler a little, when the
ice was broken and each one at the table
seemed to be doing full justice, to the oc- !
casioo, the ge itleuie i of tho cabio re
marked, with a smile, that he had never j
heard W. llairii preach hut three timn.
and if Mr. Harris wnuldn t be offen led
at him he would tell the whole story.
"Go ahead ! Go ahead !" said Mr. !
Harris.
w Well," said the landlord of the cabin,
"the first .ime was at Sou Sunday
afternom, and his text wa 'For their
rock is not as our Rock, even our euemies
themselves being judges.' The seeond
was at Camp Creek, one night and his
text was, 'For their Rock is not as our !
Rock, even our enemies themselves being
judges. The third time I heard him
was in M 1 had gone in for a new
recruit of clock* —for you must, know I'm
a clock peddler—and going to the Meth
odist church on Sunday n ght, who should
get up to preach but Mr. Harris, who
took for his text 'For their Rock is not
Mo ir Rock, but even cur enemies them
selves being judges.'"
As the clock peddler fiuished, the table
was convulsed ; and I, addatf Mr. Harris?
knowing well be was jdking on facts, was
