The Legislature.
Land newly cleared and burnt
over, old pasture ground plowed
two or three times during the sum
mer,once manured with thorough
ly decomposed manure or guano,
and treated to a dressing of ashes
at the time of sowing,will produce
a orop of clear, sweet turnips.
*Wheat stubble, burned off and
made mellow with cultivating and
harrowing the surface, is also ex
cellent for this crop, as is land
from which has been taken a crop
of potatoes, provided the same be
top-dressed with a compost of wood
ashes and well rotted manure.
While the soil needs to be only
moderately rich, it must be fairly
furnished with potash and phos
phates. Analysis proves that the*
turnip, like the potato, is a potash
plant, its ash being nearly halt
potash. Salt enters largely into
its composition as do sulphuric and
phosphoric aoids.
The seeds of all varieties of tur
nips may be sown broadcast alone,
or with corn; but when the tur
nips have the exclusive use of the
ground, if plauted in drills, much
larger crops are obtained, as hoe
ing and thinning can be done
without injury to the crop,and the
roots will be largo and the size
even. The drill for most varieties
should he fourteen inches apart
and the plants thinned to five or
six inches apart. The Swedes and
other large varieties r« quire moTe
room each way, and ought to he
about three feet apart if on ridges,
or two feet ou a level, and the
plants thinned to ten inches apart.
Iu the field turnips are generally
sown broadcast. The amount of
seed bowu per acre varies from half
a pound to two pounds. It is
generally conceded, where the
roots are designed for stock and
size is a esnsideration, that thin
seeding is the best. The seed be
fore sowing is sometimes mixed
with ashes or dry dirt; again it
in put in the ground clean, A
very good plan is to make a sue
cession of sowings,and in tbis^way
kesp up a succession of roots for
late summer and fall feeding.
The Swedish or Russian trunip
(ruta-haga) requires dry, rich
ground and more time to reach
maturity than other varieties
therefore it should be sown early
—in this vic nity, from the middle
ol June to the last of August,
Purple-top Swede is of strong
growth and of large sizo, therefore
specially adapted to field culture
and cattle feeding, Improved
American ruta-baga is a favoiite
with market gardeners aud is also
grown tor family u>*e. Carter’s im
perial hardy 8weed—nrt Dnglish
varieiy—produces large crops.
The Sweedesure generally prefer
red fur winter iisa, a* they will keep
either buried or stored in a cold cellar
witkour becoming pithy.
It should be borne in mind at time
of storing turnips that they are impa
tient of heat. While this root will bear
u little frost, it is readily injured by
too much heat.—Home uud Farm.
Buttermilk Puddino.—Two esgs,
two cups of sugar, half a cup of butler
one teaspoonttd of soda, three cups of
buttermilk; stir the flour in lightly and
pour into a greased tin. Bake one hour.
It can be turned out.—Farmer’s
Monthly.
So many newspapers having died in Atlan

tne geueral opinion was that in a few months
it would go like the rest; but not so. Very
