FUR NEE0S.

we are the advorae OF thorough prepara-
ton of the soil In turnip culture, and there
fore, advise you 10 spread one half the ma
nure You intend 10 put on, and give tho
ground you design for ,urnips deep plough
ing, harrow and Ioli it, and let it lay until
you are about 10 sow your seed, then put on
the other half Of your manure, plough it in
four inches deep, and harrow leng,h-wise
and cross-wise, when your ground will BE-
fiji 10 receive the seed.
PREPARATION AND SOWING OF THE SEED.
Soak your seed in 6sh-oii for IL hours,
then drain off the oil, and mix a sufficiency
of ashes with the seed not only 10 separate
them, but 10 enable you 10 distribute them
evenly over the ground. Sow them, then
harrow them in lightly, ana roll the ground
wi h heavy roller.
QUANTITY OF SEED PER ACRE.-From to
u lbs. of seed, if properly sown will be O.
nough for an acre.
TINE OF sowlNG.-Mcst farmers Delay
sowing until August, but we believe the SAT-
er course is to gel your seed sown by the
25th Of July: BY sowing thus early, should
the fly or flea Gu, of your first sowing, time
will be allowed you 10 re-sow, an OBJECT
which every turnip cullu.is, should always
have in view.
MANURE-Ths best manure. usually 10
be 70 and on our farms, for turnips, is .0eA.
rotted eo,O dung, though any decomposed AL
nal manure will answer. Either, however
are greatly enhanced in value by tho addi-
ton of ashes. Twenty double horse-cart
loads of the manure named aud 20 bushels
of ashes. 10 be we'll mixed together, will
make an cxcaenl compost for ,urni7s--and
the value of it would be still more increased
if 5 or 10 bushels of bone dust were added
to the compost. Where bone.dus. may b.
a component element of the compost, tho
whole should DO well mixed .egether, and
permitted to remain i'll pie, for, say weeks
before being used, in order tina, the incipie,t
process of the decay of the homes might be
brought on. II 1t should be impracticable
to get the quantity of ashes we have named
for the Compost, lei two or three bushels be
broat'-cas,ed over the ground after the seed
shall have been sown.
CULTURE So soon as the plants come
up, lie, careful hand 60 over the patch with

being hard pressed, called the begasse, falls
from the rollers into large chimney, and

Henry CLAY AND THE VINO NOMINEE.
Representations are being made that
Henry Clay does not give in his adhe-
sion to the nominee Of the Wing Con-
vention. The Louisville Journal con-
tradicts this on the best authority, and
declares that Mr.. Clay neither feels dis
satisfied at the Philadelphia nomination,
nor the slightest hesitation in supporting
it. "If MIR. Clay has not come OUT"
SAYS the Journal, with a public declara-
ton OF his views and intentions, it is be-
cause he feels secure in the consciousness
of political integrity that is above sus-
plcion. 1t is no more incumbens on Mr..
Clay to come out publicly and avow his
satisfaction at the Philadelphia nomrna-
ton, than 1t is ON Mr.. Buchanan and Mr.
Woodbury. to come out publicly and
avow their satisfaction at the Baltimore
nomination."

sLocoFoco Tricks" -Undcr this head
the Petersburg Intelligencer gives an H.
lustration of the intense anxiety of the
Democracy to defeat Gen. Taylor's NOM
nation:
cat the Philadelphia Wing Conven-
ton there were several well known
Democrats from New York, and belong.
ing to Philadelphia, who wore Wing
badges and who were very active cleo
pioneering against old lack. They were
anxious TO see some man nominated
whom they could beat.
"In Old Zack they knew they had a
man against whom it would be as useless
to contend as it would be to kick against
thunder. We saw one or two of these
fellows after the nomination, and their
ruetul visages gave token of their awful
disappointment"

from an eminent locofoco and friend Of

"As to politics, we hardly known

the most Cs4s men, but it is not improb-
able that we may lose the State"
When the friends of Candidate Cass in

This is not the only source from whence

NEW YCRK-ALL RIGHT NOW

The opposition toTaylor and Fillmore
(says the New York Express that exis-
ted among the why's ofthis city, in con-
sequence oftheir disappointment about
Mr.. Clay, is all hushed up. We knew
that the sound, clear heads of the young
wings here would soon get the command
of their warm hearts All right now
We have thought it necessary to say thus
much, because the Loco Foco press all
over the country is trying to make the
most of the little enemies we have had
here. We shall be disappointed if New
York city does not give Taylor and Fill
more 5000 maiority-and Brooklyn,

From The 81. Lcuis RGrcille'


An Illinois sucker took great dislike e
a foolish Young Virginian who, few week
since, was fellow passenger with him OF
one of onr steamboats,. The Virgnian was
continually combing his hair, brushing hi
coat or busting his baots-,o all of which
movements the Sucker took exceptions, as
being what he termed Ga leetle too daTnrt

"INhar might you be from stranger?'

The following article which was publish
ed before Cass was nominated tor the Pres
deEcy, contains some items of history
Worth recalling:
GENERALLEWIS C-ASS,
This parsonage is now figuring as the
Chairman Of The Military Committee of the
Senate, and has recently made gascona-
ding speech, in support ofthe bill! to raise
ten new regiments 10 be added to the stand
ing army. The career of Mr.. Cass is one
of demagogue, unscrupuously devoted TO

gran from New England TO Ohio, lie war

troit, at which place Col. Cass had the good
fortune not 10 he present; Col. Cass made
the best of his way 10 Washington, leaving
the good soldier Col Macarthur TO do battle
on the North Western frontier of Ohio, in
the Black Swamp, 10 breast the storm
brough, on that section ofcoun,ry by Hull's
surrender. At Washington Col. Cass man
aged so well as TO prevail on Mr.. Madison
to make him Bri gaiier General, but when
his appointment came before the Senate
for continuation, that sterling old palrio,
jeremiah Morrow, Of Ohio objected 10 it,
unless Col Macarthur was also promoted
which WAS done. If Gen Cass did any
good military service, it has escaped our
recollection After the peace with Gfea,
Britain, General Cass was made Governor
of the Territory of Michigan and IL oDieio
superintendent OF Indian affairs. A clear
field vas now open for him, and he accumu
lated wealth. W all know how Indian
treaties arcH managed may afford good oppor
tuni,ies TO make money, exclusive of the
ei.h, dollars per day paid TO Commissioners
who negotiate them. Governor Cass was
always Commiss ioner, and it so happen
ed that one treaty laid foundation for all
other, now year after year treaties were
held. Governor Cass, some how or anoth-
er beguiled General Jackson into appointing
