Tu -MAsviLLF, July 20, 1877.
M. 8 Kkitf, Dear Sir;
Rich loamy land, a itt ! e sandy, is
best for (iU ro. t crops. My garden
j haa a deep red clay foundation, sligM
j ly sandy, gray si ii about nnef-'ot deep,
; free of pebbles. Pure PetU'.ian gu
no and Mope-’nitrogenise 1 euper-phos
i phate I consider the best ntanures for
fleets and turnips.
It should be applie broadcast,
very evenly scattered, and plowed in
ai nut three inches deep with a turn
plow; and should be plowed about
eveiy ten days, with along three inch
scooter, at leasi twice, (three plowings
w uid 1 e better;) at ach pb'wi; g go
ing actots the last plowing Put on
tbe manures at tbe rate of a thousand
pm mis per acre. Lay of in rows,
slightly elevi'ed, (to prevent wat r
settling on the seed and young plant;)
two feet apart and sow the seed thick
enough to insure a stand promptly. —
When the leaf forms the size of a
stiver quafter of a dollar, immediately
thin out to about three inches apart;
, as the leaf con tin u< - fj get lai get,
thin again to six inches, and, as they
grow, thin again, which will leave
them twelve inches asunder. Work
them very carefully and lightly, at
each thinning, and these three work
ings are enough. D n’t wotk them
while the dew is on the leaf. Work
them late in 'he evenit g, is the best,
and, don’t cover the feavos with dirt;
let it be clean, and well bone. 1 giv
nine the last working with a gtub
tme, of and g'jg ng too doB6 to the tut
nips; this leaves the ground ioose and
meilov, for the roots ic spread.
The turnips I exhibited at the fair,
were manured with well totted stable
manure. One do£eb weighed 131 J
pounds, the largest 23 and the sma 1-
esl 6 pounds.
For fall and winter, I prefer “Car
t i’s purple top” Ruta Baga for win
ter use, and purple top Sirip Leaf for
early, quo k growth.
For spring, purplue top Strap Leaf,
and whi'e Aberdeen or Yel’ow Abei
deem; They do best here s. wad ftoin
tly? 20th of August to the 20th of Sep
tember. I would prefer September
sowing, it seasonable, regardless of
the moor. I sow when I get ready,
and have seasons, and never pay any
attention to the moon. I know some
do regard the moot, and are success
ful, and the hio.jn may have sotee
thing to do with it. But, if you will
make the groUud rich and prepare it
by thorough pulveri-i g, as I state/and
have good seasons, it will heat 999
n.oon plattings, when the ground has
been half prepared and manured.
Very RvspfCtlul y,
Ii 11. Hardaway.

Writing on the same subject the
editor of the Florida Agriculturist says;
Watermelons make as most excel

not eatiact the juice from the sweet

Inonoof the hotly-contested fights ih
Virginia, during the wur, a Federal
officer fell in front of the Confederate
htec.s'vvorks. While lying there
wounded and crying for water, a cun
federate soldier (Jsines Moore, cl
Burke county, N. C.,) declared his in
tention of supplying him with drink.
The bullets were flying thick from
both sides, and Moore’s fiiends en
deavored to dissuale h>m from such a
hazudous enterprise. Despite remon
strance and danger, however, Moore
leaned the breastworks, canteen in
hand, reach; Ins wftJindd rnemy and
gave him drink. The Federal, under
a sense of gratitude for the timely
service, took out his go and watch and
| offered it to his henofator, but it was
refu-ed. Tlie other then asked the
name of tlie man who bad braved
such danger to secure him. The name
was given, ahd Mrore returned un
hurt to position behind the ombank
ment. They saw nothing more of
each other. Moore was subsequently
wounded mill lost a limb in one ol ti e
engagi merits in Virginia, and return

few days ago he received a communi

whom be liad given the “cup of cold

“Theio is a method which I have
adopted in my own house to coo! the
temperature of any room during hot

or a Hauket down autside windows
upon which tlie sun may fie shining.
This sheet is wet, and the evaporation
of tho water produces a delieously
cool Upliftmont. The slleof is kept
damp by .having a vessel with water
above tho top of it outside, and a
piece o! fl innel arrange 1 to form a
siphon, and touching several portions
of the sheet. The water gradually
empties out of the vessel, and mty fie
