SOMETHING FOR THE MASSES LOW PRICED DAILY AT COST. 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.
