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.
