Sowing TurnipS.

Every farmer who has a vacant spot
of good land should SOW patch of tur.
inips. They cost but little labor, produce
abundantly in good seasons, and are al.
ways valuable either for feeding stock in
winter, for table, or for market. Turnips
need rich, light soil, not dry; new land is
commonly preferred or such as contain a
good portion of muck or vegetable mat.

The time for sowing common English
iurnips 10 this climate is from the 10Th to
the last of July. The Dutch and the
Stubble TurniP, may be eown az late as
the 10th OF 18th of August. The Scotch
Yellow Turnips should be sown about the
middle of July; they grew more slowly,
and are more firm, consequently keep
better for winter use. Those who have
not sown Ruta Bagas, or have lost them,
should sow a few Yellow Scotch. We
need no further experiments with the diff.

and adaptation to our climate.-Who'll

THE VALUE OF JoKEs.-As gold be-
comes refined by passing through the or
deal of fire, so truth is the purer for being
tested by the furnace of fun; for jokes are
20 fact what melting pots are to metal.
The utterer of a good joke is useful
member of society, but the maker of a
bad one is more despicable character
than the veriest coiner by profession. a
good joke transports his hearers, but a
bad joker should be transported himself.
No appraiser can estimate the value of a
joke, for good jokes are valuable beyond
estimation. Fun may be fetched from
afar, but good joke should never be
far-fetched. Like certain would. be prac.
titioners, joke should not only be at
homo from ten till FIVE, but thorough
good Joke will never be out. No joke
but a bad one can, be miserable, for a
joke to be good must be happy.
A joke from gentleman is an act of
charity, an uncharitable joke is an ungen-
tlemanly act. The retort courteous is
the touchstone of good feeling. the reply
churlish, the proof of clod. headed stu
pidity.

men fell OH the spot, and the remainder
