About tbe middle of August I *1 mr- onghiy broke a piece of land, half of which I had used as a garden the first paYt of this year, and the other I had cow-penned. On the garden part I put cotton seed meal at the rate ol 400 po tnds to the acre, and sowed >‘°th garden and cow-pen in turnips. broad-casting them and brushing them ^ At first the cow-pen promised to do much, bat as the drought advanced all on it died out, while those manured with the meal, not only kepted green but growing and remaining so uutil our recent frost The turnips being of good size slid finely flavored. Off the cow-pen I got ouly a few greens, while off 1 he spot manured with the meal the greens were fine, aud I had the turnips iu addition.
