Tnrnips as Food for Stock.

MEssRs EDITORS: A very yalua-
bic article in the August number Of
the Southern Culhrat0r on the Tur-
nip, suggests the idea Of wintering
mules and horses upon them. We
Of the South, have always thought,
depend too exclusively on the Germ
crib, and if a partial substitute could
be, fou nd, there would be fewer corr
buyers, less stinted stock, and corn
at reduced prices. viii you inform
me whether turnips can be fed from
the field to mules with safety, and
the best mode of preparing them
Would you feed roots and tops to.
gether? Gould mules be worked up.
on this feed and kept in working or.
der, as we say; which means state
between rolling fatand not seeing the
ribs? What turnip is best for this
purpose? Any information you car
give to aid corn-crib will be truly
welcomed.
Truly, RRBEK.
REMARKS. Raw turnips may b.
fed to sheep, mich COWS, hogs, goats
mules, even horses, but they shoull
in all cases be sliced up with a ma
chine sold for the purpose at Agri
cultural Implement stores, styled
root or vegetable cutter, and COSTING
$40 or SIS. After slicidg, if thel
are either boiled or steamed unit
cooked soft, and a gallon Of meal ad
ded to the bushel of turnips, they ar
far superior TO the raw roots as foo
for stock; and, with a good supply Q
fodder, ought to keep M a!cs or hoI
ses in fair order. Wheat bran rRa
be substituted for meal, at the rate .
a peck to the bushel Of turnips, bu
the meal is best, especially for hogs
We consider the Ruta Baga the bes
for this purpose, but any other vari
ETY. may be used in the Same way

JUDGE DOUGLAS.

We have seen so many and conflicting ru-
mors a. to the health of Senator Douglas, that
we have not thought fit to publish any in our
columns except such as we had reason to be-
lieve were reliable. Some of these rumors
represented him as much worse when he was
much better, and others as absolutely dead
when we had no doubt of an amendment in
his condition.
We have but little faith in telegraphic des
patches, and certainly had none in that brief,
and perhaps, malicious despatch, which, in one
single line, announced the death of Judge
Douglas, who, though scarcely in the prime of
life has made and lived history. 1t is fortu-
nate that telegraphic dispatches are not bull
lets, else one OF the foremost men Of this great
country, would, ere this, have been lost to US
a man between whose ability, courage, and pa
triotism, it is difficult to decide, so eminent is
he for the possession of each.
We are happy to learn that Senator Douglas
is rapidly improving in health, and that he
will soon be able to enter upon the discharge
OF his Senatorial duties.

A STRANGE Occurrence IN YESIcE.-Mr
Locke, formerly editor Of the Savannah Re
publican, in letter to that paper from Europe,
giving an account Of recent visit TO Venice,
says:
A strange occurrence took place while was
in Venice. On the same evening, in different
parts of the town, two young girls nine or ten
years old, we're enticed away TO a solitary
abode, where they we're blind folded AID con
Quoted to another retired house. Here they
we're well treased during twenty.four hours,
with enough to eat and drink, but they we're
bled several times almost to The point Of faint
ing, and when they had no more blood to spare,
without endangering their life, they were re-
stored to their homes by night, in the same
mysterious way. Everybody in town was
startled by this singular incident. The most
common explanation was, that an old sorceress
bad recommended to some deluded being bath
ing ia the blood Of young and healthy persons
as method Of restoring exhausted nature.

ba5- In the present unsettled condition of
things, at the National Metropolis, it is almost
impossible to find topics to write on. The
proceedings Of the two Houses of Congress
usually supply abundant material for editorial
comment Unfortunately, however, the per-
picked condition of things in the House Of
Representatives and the antagonisms between
the three parties have, up 10 this time, prevented
an organization. Nothing has been done in
the House but barren and tedious voting for
Speaker, nor has the Senate addressed itself
TO any of the important business Of legislation,
in consequence Of the fact, that the Presidents
message cannot be read in either body until
the organization Of the House shall be effected.
How long it will be before an organization
can be effected, It is impossible to foretell.
The most ingenious and varied speculations
have been put forth by the newspapers and
their Washington correspondents. Almost
every one has his own theory in regard to the
result Of the efforts 10 elect the officers Of the
House. These speculations and theories do
hOe, ~ Oui OPihiOut meih grave cohbiuethNion.
All sorts Of rumors in regard to all sorts Of
coalitions prevail, and there would be score
Of speakers and clerks IL all the various candi.
dates whose success has been predicted by
their friends and pariisans could succeed.
What day or an hour may bring forth, we
viii not undertake to say. On one memorable
occasion the organization Of Congress was not
effected for about three weeks. Such protracted
delay is not impossible at tie present time.
Yet the opinion seems to prevail, that after Q
few more barren aud wearisome sessions Of the
House, lis organization will be completed.
Then the Presidents message will be read in
both Houses, and the reports from the heads
OF departments and heads Of bureaus will be
presented. These documents, with their various
recommendations, viii furnish ample material
FOR the action Of Congress, and for the com
ments Of the press.
