Young turnip* stewed In milk, properly seasoned, served hot, la a dish not to be despised by a king or queen, with an appetite. But there are people end people, and there are vegetablea and vegetables. Some like one kind; some like another.

In Ihe next two months the soil should have a preliminary preparation In the way of plowing and manuring The following season's success will be Influenced by the work thut Is to done or left undone In the Autumn. Whatever vegetable matter la now on the surface should he turned under so that It can become decomposed before planting lime In the Rprlng After turning the land ahould be laid off lmo J-foot fur rows and from time to time all organic manure that can be made use of should lie applied lo the furrows and the furrows listed upon. It la well wherever the land Is nt all stltr to make the lists with a turn plow, making the ridges as high as possible The winter freexe* will have the effect of thoioughly pulverising the sur face of sui-h soil and It will be easier to cultivate next year If care I, taken that II Is never plowed when loa wet. Some lowlugs In Order. If for any reason sowing* of turnips have not been minis, or If mode, failed, otvlng to Insects or drougth. there !s plenty of time yet to make the beet of crop*. Sowings be made all through Set tember. Even rutabagas can be sown for several weeks yet. While some few value the turnip crop as tt should be valued, there are a good many thnt <k> not appear to appreciate how valuable It t*. Young turnips are a good table vegetable as all know, but It seems that many farmers do not know that they are good, for all kinds of stoca and poultry. A peck of turnips fed daily to the mulew nnd horse*, will tend to keep them well anil sleek. Turnips boiled wltn notion seed and little bran Is about os line a milk producer as anything that can be had They should be fed lo the poultry, both raw and cooked, and It will cause the hens to lAy at a season, when. If fed only grain, they would not possibly bay. (Our dog* are fond of boiled turnip*, too ) The sulphur that l* In iurni|>* nae a marked effect In keeping the blood pure In everythin* that eats them. Graalag rotehea. For the poultry and for the milk cows and calves. It I* desirable to sow grain early as possible during this month and next. Single grains, like oais or rye. or barley can be sown, but It I* advisable for this purpose to sow mixed grain—two pecks each of barley and oats, ami one or rye. mixed well together and sown evenly, is about the proper proportion. With the soil well plowed as soon ns It can be. after the next rain, the grain should be harrowed In and the land given a good rolling If will come up promptly then, and make good grasing fop the young cattle sometime before Christmas Such patches should be highly manured. Never let stock run on such pasture when the ground le ai all wet. There are sev eral Important crop* to be started In Oc tober on.l these will be discussed In fol lowing Issues. In the meantime, turn un der all the stuhble land possibly Of course, there Is much land where there will be no crop* of this kind to be turned under until later In the season In an far an poeslble. we believe strongly |n the principle of letting crops die on the land before turning under, but sometimes It I* the ease when one cannot wait for thla— the time ha* arrived for sowing or plant ing. and It must be plowed and prepared for the purpose whether or no • ••••••# The August drougth ha* damaged quite a number of crop* over a large section of the South Sweet potatoes, peas, sor ghum. sugar cane, peanuts and pasture have been damage.! to a greater or less extent. Up to the 2Mh of August, there hsd been no saturating rain or shower of fealf an Inch alnce the heavy rains of July I nnd t. The drought destroyed entirely. In some sections, all the late plantings of vegetables. A wet autumn Is more than probable. H>e for stock. Perhaps no other grain possesses more desirable qualities of usefulness for the farmer than rye. says Ihe Live Slock Journal. Rye should be sown as early after harvest aa poastble. It Is not par ticularly partial to any one kind of soil, although light rather than heavy land la best for It. It makes good and rapid growth and can be pastured quite late In tha fall. In fact, until winter sets In. As soon as the snow Is off the ground In spring. It can again be pastured. It grows rapidly and will usually keep ahead of atock unless 100 many head per acre are turned Into It. It la an Ideal place In which to keep hogs of any age. the rye flekl. Nothing afford* such abundance of pasture In the eastern or ml-ldle stales. It quickly recover* after close cropping and requires but little moisture lo ke-|i It growing. As It heads out considerably earlier than other grain. It may be cut for hay If desired, and the land then put In potato**, bear.* or torn; or the pas turing may be coultnued while the grain ripens. Hogs will run In a rye field all aum mtr. requiting no other fund, and be fat enuugh lo kill In the fall, although usu ally a few weeks feeding on corn la thought desirable. I have known o drove of twenty hugs to be kept all auirs mer In an orchard suited lo rye. with no other food, and sold to the bun her without a day'# extra feed. The rye thus treated self seed# and cornea up again green and thh-k aa a mat in Ihe fall. By some. ry I* allowed to mature It* Seed, and the crop la threshed, but the writer prefer* to cut while green and make Inlo bay. or turn under for manure, rather than to have Ihe rye springing up In other crop. Ho the seed I* bought from year to year. To those who have never tried It. I would say. sow a held of rye this yeir. How It early and do not be afraid 10 pas ture It title It will come up nicely In Ihe spring, affording pasturage long before Ihe grass Is hlg enough lo turn Info. Keep It fed down as long as possible, but when It begins to Joint keep out the slock. If you want It for hay or lo perfect the grain for threshing. In cutting for hay. cut before it begin* to turn yellow ai the roots, so that II will be green and nlc" when cured. If It can be uaod for hog*, let them remain In It all summer, and you will find It the eaatest way of fatten ing them you ever tried.

The lew Japan Plums. Among the first which were Introduced were Abundance. Burbank, Sweet lioLan and Sntsuma. and these are the best known, writes l.uther Burbank In Agri culturist. Abundance and Burbank thrive almost even where, resisting light frosts while In bloom. Burbank ! now grown extensively In every country where plums are grown and in some places where no other plum will thrive. Abundance, though not of as high quality, gives uni versal and unbounded satisfaction. Sweet Hotan. though not as well adapted to general culture In all countries, yet Is grown for home use nnd nearby markets far and wide. Sntsuma though nearly or quite a failure In some place*.

Dried sweet ! potatoes from Japan were exhibited among the produ.ta from Japan at the World's I-air Their method of preparing them ts described as follows; Cleanly washed potatoes are placed | n a suitable hasket and Immersed In boding water for a short time; when taken out of the basket they are cut Into thin slice* and spread over mat* and exposed to the sun for three or four days.
