We gave some account a ysar ago of
the admirable turnip crop on the farm
of James Wood, ol Westchester county,
N. Y., consisting of two acres of Yellow
Aberdeens, which was the most regular
and handsome that we ever happened
to meet with. The plants were in tows
thirty apart, and their roots eight inches
in the row, with scarcely a missing space
in any. The seed had been raise on
this farm for many years, and had been
gradually improved by selection. In a
recent private letter from Mr. Wood
(of which we trust he will excuse us
for publishing a portion ), he says : In
a letter just received from a friend in
England is this sentence, “I have seen
many turnip fields in England but none
equal to the one you showed me on your
place just before I left Ihe tuinip
orop this year has surpassed in quality
anv I ever raised before. lam becom
ing more and more convinced of the
value of turnips a3 >\ inter feed lor
stock connection wrth hay and grain and
of the profit in raising them. I begin
to regard them as one ol the most pro
fit,able crops 1 can grow. Ihe \ellow
Aberdeen, as improve by the late Wm,
A. Underhill for fifteen years, and sub
suqucntly five years by myself by the
most careful selection, has become much
greater in value in our climate than the
present stock imported from Scotland.”
Wc may add that from our personal
inspection of the beantilul crop on Tins
place last year, we were fully satisfied
that it would give at least 900 bushels
per acre —1,000 having been obtainec
in souio seasons, and 900 at least being
the average.
Experiment With Ilorey-
A correspondent of the Scientific
American says:
“I put up six one-pound cans of
beautiful linden honey being careful to
make it one homogeneous mass by stir*
ring. It was thrown from the combs
by an rxtraetor on July 31 a r ’d put ins
to cans on August 11. The cans were
plaoed respectively as follows: One in
a dark dry cellar, one each under shades
of red, yellow, green, and blue glass, alid
tho sixth can is full light, On Novorm.
her Bth the honey in the cellar candied
to a white. November 22 to January
29, hone£ under colored shades candied
first in the red, next in the yeliow,
green and blue : while the honey in full
light remained trasparent until Janua*
ry, when it soon candied after exposure
to intensely cold weather. From my
rxperioncc an evual temjertaure would
preserve certain kinds of honey while
other kinds would candy under almost
any circumstances. I think tho candi
ed honey, instead of being looked upon
with disfavor, should be recognized as
evidently pure. I hope howevor that
the above experiments will load others
to follow up tho right theory with ben
dficial. results.
Stock Pays all the Time.
Tho heading of this article says the
Valley Farmer, was the remark of an
old farmer the other day while dcplor-.
ing the failure of his wheat crop. —
‘‘Quo year the wheat fails, another the
oats fail, another year the corn ; but,”
says liq, “stock pays all the time,” He
moreover remarked “that the farmers
who early gave their time to stock rais*
ing had gono right aloDg, without set
back, and outstripped -the grain-grow
ers.” There is no dougt hut that there
fs'muoh truth in the old mans remarks.
Stock is the surest and remunerative,
but ii thickly seltled regions it is better
and safer to divide the interests between
tho two. The twcTasaists each other
and improve tho farm. Waste straw
and offai of the stock will go to lertili
ring the soil and improving its capaci.
ty for productiveness. The strength o
tho soil is a great desideratum with th
farmer. The soil is the mine of wealt
.—his treasury, his bauk of deposit. He
must keep it good, or paper will be pro
tested, his reputation as a farmer dis*
honored. It is well to keep a variety
of stock, grain crops. The general pro
fits of each year are thus kept nearly
equal. Farming may be done close
less wasted and more made.
Hoo Cholera. — A friend said to
us this morning: *‘l have a remedy for
hog cholera which has been often tried
and never failed. It is raw bcel. . 1
was brought to think of it by healing
that a physician had cured dysentery
by living the patient raw beef to cat
1 reflected that the hog, like a man, was
carnivorous ; but that in domestication
he* had nothing but vegetable food. I
had several hogs sick with the cholera at
the time, all off their feet and some
dying. I went to the butchei and gut
some fresh beef, and fed it to them. 1
ate like hungry wolves, and recovered.
Afterward I gave the remedy to several
neihbors, and' always with good results;
and in Cass Cos., 111., where l then resi
ded, it has become the established reme
dy, one large bleeder even being accus
iomed to slaughter a beef and carcass
iuio his feed lot when his hogs aio at„
tacked-
One little “garden patch” af ours has
been verv profitable this season. Ihe
snails ate* up the cucumbers —the chick
ens, ate up the suails—the hawks ate up
the chickens, and now we are in search
of something that will cotup the hawks :
