On Vegetable Culture.
the turnip.
St a garden vegetable no very sitrava
cant word of praise is due tb turnip—such
as may bo epplted to the tomato or net or po
tato or celery or some others,nut at the same
an it is entitled to considerable oonmien
dauoo. In the gardens of the poor it is not
to be despised, aud even where persons of
moderate means are aot so situated as to
make a garden for themselves the turnip,
od account of it* easy culture. Is always to
he bad in market at lower prices than most
Other vegetables.
When prepared in the nicest way possible,
young turnips make a dish that is relished
by a goodly number who are not to be
classed among the poor, in fact, we have
had several wealthy friends to say that
there was no dish that they cared more for
than one made of young turnips, about the
sire of a hickory nut. cooked along with
their tops with a cube of good old home
made bacon with "a streak of leap aud a
streak of fat."
There is no question ahout it, tho Bvsrage
mortal with unimpaired digestion may be
pardoned the indulgence in such as this,
especially if he has little else to eat. Y es,
Indeed, if ho is called to sit down to table
where there is uothing else than a dish of
nicely prepared turnips and bacon with Its
c implement of corn broad let him not get up
fueling any of the qualms of hunger. If,
however, there bo tomatoes and potatoes
and green corn and lamb be may, if he
chooses, pass the turnips and still tie grate
ful. If you are dyspeptic we advise you to
let them entirely alone on all occasions.
If not grown for table use an abundance
of them should be grown for s.ock. There
Is no succulent crop that can be had more
readily and cheaply than turnips. On soil
that is naturally very rich,and consequently
no need for expending any thiug for manure,
it is quite possible to grow turuips at a cost
of rot more than 3 or 4 cents a bushel, and
the cost per bushel may range from this up
to 20 coins.
For table use turnips oftentimes com
mand in our markets 50 to 75 cents per
bushel, but one could not afford to pay any
inch prices as these for the purpose of feed
ing to stock. Outstdo of their intrinsic
value based upon the nutritive elements
that thoy contain turnips possess a value
that Is not readily reckoned. With stock, as
with human beings, there are numerous
substances that, while affording little in the
wav of nutriment, possess an alterative or
medical quality that is to be esteemed
highly. There are few who are not av.are
i f the splendid effect upon the system of a
raw tomato, or lettuce or celery tor beyond
or outside of any nutritious quality (which,
of course, ts very low) that either of them
may possess.
In like manner the turnips have an altera
tive effect upon stock, keeping them
healthy when they would be liable to dis
ease if confined strickly to heavy and con
centrated food. Under certain circum
stances turnips might well be worth to the
dairy man j; „ bushel in the entire abseuce
of some succulent food.
Deny a human being for any length of
time ail vegetable food and vegetable acids
and the likelihood is be would be effected
with scurvy or be subjected to soma other
disorder as the result of the steady use of
strong foods.
Up to a certain amount, at nDy rate, tur
ni ;is may be reckoned as worth 35 cents a
bush*! (of 60 pouudsl.
Borne weeks ago we quoted in these col
umns an article by the well-kuown farmer,
John M. Btohl, on the feeding value of tur
nips. He spoko of having grown twenty
five tons per acre, which he valued at tho
price of $3 50 per ton. He commended tho
same variety of turnips that we have been
recommending to our southern farmers for
lhe past fifteen years, to wit—the Sootch
Aberdeen.
The southern gardener or farmer has a
decided advantage over the northern far
mer in respect to the turnip crop las he has
with many other things). There are not
mauy winters where we cannot preserve
one crop through the winter just where
they are grown by simply turning the soil
toward the rows, and then with a hoe, draw
ing it closely around tho roots and covering
them to a depth of several inches. The
turuips must be used before the soil begins
to warm up, else the turnips will take on a
second growth and become worthless. Iu
this latitude we have to use them by March
1. Turnips can be preserved in banks, just
as we rut up sweet potatoes, but the most
economical pilan is tu preserve them right
where they grow.
The best varieties are the Yellow Aber
been and the Sweet German, the latter be
ing a Swede. For table use the Cowhorn
and Flat Dutch do very well when used
young, but they soon got pithy.
It is getting rather late now to secure the
best resuits with turnips, but still very good
crops can be made, sowed any time this
month One should always take advantage
of the August rains to get up a crop of tur
nips, as September weather is usually dry.
and the seeds may lie In the ground several
weeks before sprouting or else be spoiled.
Strawberry Culture.
It is never out of place to have a small
plat, of strawberries for home use, whether
any are sold or not.
A couple of hundred plants even well
tended will supply a very nice quantity of
berries for a good-sized family. Two rows
of too plants each (or four rows of fifty or
eight rows of twenty-five) in a side or oor
ner of the garden (or off in the field event
will go a long ways in supplying this whole
some, yea medicinal fruit, that may be the
means of warding off a serious attack of
disease from some member of tbs family

may do this very thing
This ts a good season to set out the plants.
eo can probably get a few plants from
leur neighbors if you inquire arouDd
If not you can send off to those who ad
vertise them for sale. The plants caD be
tent a thousand miles or more with perfect
safety.
You can get berry plants from New York
state, if you cannot get them nearer, that
w > I grow us readily as these scoured in your
own county If packed by an experienced
packer.
Make the effort to get seme plants if only
a couple of hundred for this season, and set
teem out carefully and cultivate likewise,
F ou will be glad next spring that you
'i , Fr9tD this start you can enlarge the
prat next fall to the extent that you may
see nt. Remember, though, that just for
home use a oouple of hundred or so of
plants well attended to will give better sat
isfaction than a thousand left to them
selves or poorly attended to. You can well
afford to mulch and manure properlv, and
even water if necessary a few hundred
pl ints where you might not be ebla to so
care for a thousand or more. And a plant or
1 *ll of strawberries given intensive care
can be made to yield anywhere from a pint
to two quarts of berries where the best va
rieties are used.
For borne use there are several well
known varieties, especially suited to our
climate that you can plant with the utmost
confidence that they will fully repay you
for all the trouble and expense involved.
You need uot attempt the new and untried
kinds. The Wilsons, Albany, the Stiarpless
or the Crtscent will answer your purpose’
fully. In planting the latter remember
i that it is a pistillate variety, aud some other
’’perfect" kind most be mixed in with it.
W hen jirnperly •‘fertilized” it produces
enormously. To two or three plants of
Crescent there should be one plant of the
Albany or Hhorpless.
There are a good many new varieties of
strawberries that have given satisfaction at
the north and west that have not been suf
ficiently tested in southern latitudes. Seme
of these may prove highly adapted to our
section.
Those mentioned above will nearly al
ways give satisfaction if properly attended.
With any variety it requires care and good
work at the proper time to get best results.
We should always use a mulch of pine
straw for strawberries.
Cut Your Hay Early.
Having reoently made a considerable
tour through East Tennessee, says P. F. Iv.,
in tbe Country Gentleman,l was surprised to
find so many of our farmers who still allow
their grass to become over-ripa before cut
ting. This was not caused from lack of
baying weather, because the weather has
been propitious. Neither was it caused
from press of other work, for iu many In
stances tbe owners were found to be already
plowing for wheat. It simply arises from a
mistaken idea of economy. Bettor judgment
Is usually exercised in cutting olover, espe
cially where it is desired to save the second
crop for seed. Here experience will soon
teach tbe farmer to seize tho first op
portunity to take off his hay after the clover
comes into full bloom. But with red-top,
tbe hay grass of this country, tbe Import
ance of prompt action os soon as the grass
comes into full bloom, is not so immediately
apparent aud is often understimatea. Did
yqu ever notice how the cattle refuse red
top in the pasture after it bad gone to seed ;
or with what lack of relish tbe mules accept
the dry, stalky buy which you sometimes
oiler to them? A meadow of any of our
cultivated grasses contains its greatest
weight of crop at, or very near, the time of
full bloom. True, the decrease after this
date is wholly in the water of vegetation.
But this water of vegetation holds in solu
tion, as it were, the digestible materials of
tho plant, rendering it fresh, juicy end
palatable, as well as absolutely more diges
tible. When the crop is harvested at tbe
proper time, tbe juices are preserved very
much as those in the peach or apple when
they are dried. But iu the process of ripen
ing, much of tbe soluble sugar, starch, dex
trin, fibrin, etc., is changed into compara
tively inßoluble and indigestible substances,
and the plant is rendered much less nutri
tious. This is the point our farmers need to
watch—whether by letting the grass ripen
some seed in order to thicken up the stand,
they do not lose more in feed value of hay
than it would cost to buy and sow down the
seed necessary to accomplish this. Take a
minimum yield of one ton per acre, at 60
cents per 100 pounds, or ?12 per ton, and a
decrease of 10 percent., which will cccur iu
a very few days, would amount to $1 20, or
tnlly enough to reseed tbe whole with red
top every yeur. Now red-top, having a
creeping root, does not by soy means re
quire to be reseeded every year. It is a good
plan, however, to sow down a peck or half
bushel of seed per acre every fall, or thor
oughly scratch it in with a good sharp
tooth harrow. A little dressing of manure
at this time will not be amiss, and the
scratching up of the sedge and brushing
aside of tee lower leaves which protect its
roots in winter is not supposed to be espe
cially conducive to tbe growth of that
plant, Tho agricultural experimental station
has an eye ou this point.
Finally, it has been abundantly proved
that the proper time to harvest almost any
kiud of a hay crop is when, or very soon
after, it comes into full bloom, la the case
of timothy bay for market an exception
may sometimes be made, as tho consumers
in some markets have not ‘ 'caught on” to
the superior value of bright, soft-green
timothy hay, aud demand the common,
bright-yellow hay, such as they usually get
from the west. There, it is often impossi
ble to save the large crop just at the right
time, and as mauy bale directly from the
field, it is necessary that the grass be riper,
if my customer demanded over-ripe cay, I
would furnish it, but to my owu stock
never, when it can be avoided. On account
of the partial failure of the clover crop last
spring, mauy farmers have been compelled
to sow millet. This should bo cut as soon
as a majority of the heads appear. You
may lose a little in w eight on this crop, but
depend upon it, your horses will gather more
strength from the small quantity than from
the mass of coarse, woody fiber which
would result by delaying the harvest.
Watering Plants in Pots.
“How often should 1 water plants ?” This
question is very frequently asked, says the
Western Rural, and it is a rather perplex
ing one to answer definitely; a general an
swer would be according to Secretary Rusk:
Never apply water to a plant until it re
quires it, that is until it is dry, aud then
apply a sufficient quantity to saturate the
soil, which will be indicated by the surplus
passing through the drainage.
Novices in plant culture usually make the
mlstuke of merely sprinkling the surface of
tbe soil, perhaps daily, without any time
applying enough water to saturate the mass.
Plants cannot flourish under such condi
tions, the surface will appear wet, while
the main body of tbe soil is hard and dry.
One drawback to properly watering plants
in parlor and window gardening (to which
these remarks are more particularly
directed! arises from the inconvenience at
tending tbe use of water in sufficient quan
tities, another evil is tbe dryness of the air.
Both of these obstacles to success can be
greatly modified by the use of a table prop
erly fitted for the reception of the flower
pots or small vases in which the plants are
kept. This table may be of any required
size—a surface of two by three feet would
be suitable for most windows; it should be
made tight and neatly fitted. A ledge is
made by fasteuing a strip tbree inches wide
around tbe edge; then fill with two inches
of clean, white sand, upon which the plants
are placed; lining tbe table with zino would
completely guard against drip. The table
6bould be fitted with rollers to facilitate the
operation of watering and cleaning the
plants With a table of this kind the plants
cbd be watered freely, and occasionally
sprinkled, without any injury to surround
ing objects. The sand should be kept con
stantly wet, so that moisture will be evapo
rated from it, and thus 1 overcome. Id some
degree, one of the chief obstacles tc tbe suc
cessful culture of plauts in dwelling rooms
—a dry atmosphere.
There are a few general rules with regard
to watering plants which may be noted.
Watering should be preferably applied
during tbe early part of the day, especially
so iu the winter season. Plants in pots well
supplied with roots will require much more
water than those which are newly potted or
have a quantity of soil with few roots.
Plants with narrow or small foliage will
oot use so much water as those with large
spreading leaves. Plants in the shade will
not need as much water as will those in the
Nun: a damp atmosphere will also reduce
tbe necessity of w ater at tbe roots Plants
that are growing freely will require a regu
lar supply, as they are sensible of a check
at this period, on tbe other band, plants
which are comparatively resting will Deed
but little, and the supply gradually dltmn-

I tilled as growth is being completed. But in
cases wheu water is applied it should lie
done copiously, and when gradually with
held the watering should be less frequent,
not less in quautity, when it is necessary to
make the application.
Agr'cultural Experimental Stations.
There are over fifty experimental stations
In the United Btutes that issue bulletins of
the work accomplished by them from time
to time.
Many of these bulletins possess value to
the student of agriculture, and, doubtless,
there are mauy of our farmers who would
like to obtain o-opies of some of them.
Any bulletin noticed in this column can
be ob.aitied by our readers by addressing
the director of the statiou as given here—

Very Essential.
The Amerii'an, Cultivator says : Expe
rience bas fully demonstrated in the first
place that the farmers are not careful
enough in cutting their hay at the proper
time to bring about paying results, both as
to value of its feeding qualities and for mar
ket, and in this ocnnectiou we offer the fol
lowing hints: Cut hay early; if you cannpt
do this yourself, you tatter give someone
two prices to harvest it early for you; it will
pay you. Do uot delay cutting on account
of bloom. Hay put up for market should
be sorted. Clover is the worst weed tho
dealer has to contend with. Keep fence
corners out of market hay. Hay may be
put In quite green, but hay, no matter how
free from sap, putin with dew or rain upon
it, will mow-burn and turn red. Color
makes all the difference in the world with
the sale of hay. To make money is the
great atm of all in business, whether pro
ducer, buyer, or seller, and to do so it is
necessary that all should strive to produce
the best article. Every one knows that it
costs as much to grow and market an article
of inferior quality as it does one that will
command the best price.
We would like to impress upon tbe pro
ducers of hay tbe value of protecting tboir
crops, and we would advocate use of covers
during a rainy season for their hay while
curing. Last year we had, at times, during
the having season several days of steady
rain, and what hay was put up in the fields
at such times was comparatively worthless,
whereas, had it been protected by covers,
it would, in all probability, have sold for
several dollars more per ton than it did.
While the outlay at the beginning may
seem large to growers, they should take
into consideration that good covers are
made waterproof, and will last with proper
care for mauy years
Italian Onions.
Mr. E. T. B. sends us tbe following note
on two varieties of Italian onions, which
we have bad occasion to commend to south
ern gardeners many times in the past
eighteen years. We have grown many
bushels of tbe Rooca and Tripoli from the
seed, that would average twenty ounces
to certe nil 1 1!.
About fifteen years ago, the late Maj. L.
C. a ryun received from the late James
Vick of Rochester, N. Y., a package of
various kinds of seed, which Mr. Vick hud
brought from Europe. Among them, three
kinds of onions—“ Giant Rocker,” “Red,”
and the “White Tripoli.” The three varie
ties wei e planted the latter part of Decem
ber. Great care was taken in preparing
tbe soil—well rotted compost, wood ashes,
with a small quautity of commercial fer
tilizer. White sand was sprinkled over the
rows,one-quarter of an iuclt deep, after the
seed was planted. The seed had been
soaked twelve hours before planting. The
young plants were sheltered from the sun
and watered when necessary. No weeds
were allowed to grow near them. 1 think,
about once a wee--, they had a watering of
liquid manure. No one that did not see the
result, could believe it possible that onions
could be raised from seed, and in five
months from planting bo three to four
inches in diameter. I state what I saw; and
I believe onions can be raised profitably for
the spring and early summer market, but
tho warm weather being so long, I think it
would be difficult to beep them for winter
use in Southern Georgia.
BIRDS WITH BIG NEST3.
Australian Fowls Which Build Gigantic
ones and Use Them In Common.
From the Washington Star,
One of the most interesting men among
the scientists who have been visiting Wash
ington is Prof. Henry A. Ward, the great
natural science oollector of Rochester, N.
Y. He has spent his life in traveling all
over the world for tho purpose of gathering
material for museums. The adventures he
has met with while in pursuit of curiosities
in one far corner of the earth or another
would fill mauy delightful books, la con
versation the other day he referrei to an
expedition he once made in search of an
extraordinary Australian bird which has a
communal oe3t, a whole flock uniting their
efforts in its construction, and sharing its
conveniences for the purpose of laying their
aggs.
PAYING WITH BISCUITS.
“It was in tbe neighborhood of Fdrt
Darwin, on Torres straits,” said the profes -
sor to a representative of the Star. “I bad
some native black fellows with me and a
lot of biscuits to pay them with. Biscuits
go with them for wages as well as money,
because they care for nothing in life but
eating. If you give them coins they carry
them in their ears, and they are more apt
than not to wear no clothes at all, save a
band around the left arm to bold a tobacco
pi[>e that is stuck in it wben uot in use. One
must take care not to let them have any
‘bixit,’ as they call them, until their work
is doua Otherwise, having gobbled them,
thay are likely to lie down at any moment
and go to sleep, though it be in tbe middle
of the road and the occasion one of serious
exigency.
BRUSH TURKEYS.
•‘These particular black fellows had
promised to guide me to a nest of the ‘brush
turkeys.' I had never seen one and was
very anxious to do so. On our journey my
companions seemed inecessantly to be look
ing for something to eat. When opportun
ity served they climbed tall trees for oys
ters- The rise and fall of the tides In Torres
is enormous, and the ovsters, which are
under wuter when it is high, being at
tached to the trunks of trees, are left ten
tc twelve feet out of water when
it is at .its lowest, I saw
two gigantic kangaroes on that trip, and
measured the leaps if one of them Thirty
two feet the tape lice Bbowed for each jump,
taking it from toe mark to toe mark, as tbe
animal left them in the sand. It is marvel
ous tersee one of those great marsupials
streaking acr s the country in immense
bounds, literally throwing itself through
the air with its mighty bind limbs and
hardly seeming to touch the earth to its
flight. Ti e beast really looks as if it was
flying, and I am surprised that Capt.
Cook’s naturalist should have mistaken the
first kangaroo he saw for a bird.
A FLYING DRAGON.
“On our way to tb and the nest 1 came
across a beautiful steciuien of a rare kind
of lizard, commonly called the ’flying
dragon,’ because it sometimes appears to
fly, supporting itself in the air to some ex
tent as does a flying squirrel. This one,
which had an especially large and lira
rutile around its neck, crawled into a hol
low log to escape. I Ap-ended the log, -1 on
it fell out, and I told one of the black fel
lows to pick it np. Ho did <’. and imme
diately carrying it to Ids mouth bit off its
head. I was very angry to iose
such a treasure in that way; hut
when I scolded the man simply
looked astonished rubbed his eyes and said
‘Good, good!’ Soon afterward my attention
was ealied to a sort of ‘Jack-in-the-pulp.t’
that grew in a little dell. Its leaves were
somewhat withered, which fact was ac
counted for when another of mv aboriginal
companions plucked the pi i#t up by tbe
roots and showed me hanging from them a
bright green caterpillar quite a foot in
length. This latter he coolly held up bv
one end, dropped it down his throat, closed '
his eyes in an ecstasy of gustatory appreoi- i
atiou and nibbed bis stomach also.
A MAMMOTH NEST.
“We reached the nest at last, and it was
well worth seeing. It was a circular mound
eight feet in diameter. The birds begin tbe
construction of such a one bv getting to
gether a big heap of leaves. On top of and
around this heap they gather earth by
scratching it backward toward the pile,
and it was in this way wholly that the
great mound X describe was built up. All
tho surface soil had been scraped away for
a long dis’anoe around for adding to the
accumulation. When the brush turkeys
nave thus made their earth heap ready for
the season’s hiving, they cut a cylindrical
hole down into the middle of it. Into this
they get, one by one, and lay their eggs.
HOW THE EGGS ARE HATCHED.
“As.soon as all are through they fill up
the bole, leaving a cavity shaped like a
wash basin ou the top of the monad. Rains
come, and the water retained in this hollow
filters through to the deposit uf leaves,
which are thus made to decompose.
heat of decomposition batobos the eggs, aiW
the young fowls burrow their way out of
the mound, not upward, but tt rough the
sides. It is a wise brush turkeythat knows
its own mother, for the parent birds give no
thought nor care to their offspring after de
positing their eggs. You can imagine what
a vast amount of material is put mlo one of
these nests when I tell you that a friend of
mine in Australia made bis whole ga rdeu
patch from one of the mounds."
EPICS OF THE EPITAPH.
“The Lay Graved on the Stone ’
Above the Poet’s Tomb.
From the Pnll Mall Gazette.
Inscriptions in Bavariau mountain com
munes in the earlier part of our century
record tho possession of tbe mere rudiments
of schooling as a distinction of tbe de
ceased, For instance, “Here rests the
worthy N. N. He was very accomplished
in reading, writing and reckoning Craiten,’
tho local dialect for ’rechneu'i ” The tomb
of Franz Amtnann records that ho was
“mighty in three languages, the French.tho
Italian and the English.” The inscriptions
upon the sites of accidents (the so-called
“ Marterln,”) which are frequent in Alpine
countries, are sometimes very original. The
author gives a few specimens from the
Oberinnthal. Ona is quite Carlylean:
"Here fill Jacob Hosenknopf from the
roof of this house into eternity.”
Another, with characteristic undervalua
tion of the gypsies’ records: “In the cold
year 1653 two men and two Bohemians
were drowned on this spot.” A verse over
two graves with o :e common tombstone is
worthy of tbe English old socialist priest,
John Ball, and of Bishop! tiatUner and
Fiikington:
Righteous and true Is the Lord (led.
Here lies the master and here lies ois man.
Now. you world-wise ones who go by,
Say which is the Herr aud which is ihe Knecht!
Ti e “involuntary humor” which is so
frequent a characteristic of English
epitaphs upon tombstones occurs as often,
it would seem, in the churchyards of our
Teutonic cousins. A second edition of
Ludwig von Hormann’s “Grabsebriften,”
just published at Munich contains a rich
collection of oddities. The inscription on
the churchyard cross In the commuu of
Obersteiermark runs as follows;
This cross is erected
To the honor of the Lord Jesus Christ
XV ho was crucifiea for us
By the peasants of this parish.
The absurdity in this case, as tbe editor
notes, is solely due to the absence of any
punctuation. But another in tbe same
churchyard deserves to be quoted by Sir
William Lawson. It is in memory of a
brewer:
Since the drink which he brewed
Has brought many to an early grave,
Hare at last lies he, the 'Bieverhuuzer. ’’
O, Christian, say for him flve “Our Fathers.’
A faulty singer id the choir of the same
oommune is thus commemorated:
Here rests Johannes Hesserer,
He was but a bad tenor;
But up there in Heaven he laughs at u,
Because he can now sing so perfectly.
