The turnip crop has been too much

ton to give our node of preparing the
land, and putting in the seed, which has
proved successful with lis Tor the last tre
years.
1t Is certainly an errcr to pu; in mere
patch-most half acre or SO, that has
been eow-penned on. As II general rule,
we think one quarter Of an acre to eac;,

The land should be deeply p!owed with
Marcy pIows (Sav ten inches at least)
every two weeks, from the lst OF July up
TO the time Of pian,ing.-The last deep

ing. When YOU are ready TO plant,
spread the other half Of our manure, and
pIow j, in about three inches deep with
short pIows. With this last dressing put
on Il the ashes YOU have to spare, keep.
ing enough for the las, dressing. Take,
then, an Iron.tootled harrow, aud harrow
your land thoroughly. Your land is then
prepared for the seed. II your land has
been well manured, and carefully prepar.
ed for the seed. If your land has been
well manured, aud carefully prepared two
pounds Of seed is not too much. We
have found one pound OF I,sd Top and
one po4ndof Ruta6aga,to be good quality,
and Of the proper amount Of seed. When
miSeI together, one half should lie sowed
in one direction, and the other half in tho
other. At the same time the seed is sown
j: Is most important 10 sow TO each acre
two bushels Of salt, one Of plaster, and
as much ashes rs you can command, well
mixed up together. 4 very light brush
should be run over the land, followed by
small one horse roller. In this way the
seed is covered with n gentle pressure, so
as TO produce an earlier vegetation |; the
young plant stands the dry seasons that
may occur s6uch more successfully. Our
tine OF sowing is from the 10Th to the
20,h Of August, trying to hit upon day
just before rain. by November the Red
Tops may be used, and on while they last,

nor, Africa, China, Southern Europe, and
Japan. Nature has thus, it seems, iiitea
this useful plant to become q eontep,sd
derizen Of almost every cline and soil
In our own country it will flourish from
Mexico 10 the Southern border cf Penn
sylvania, and will no doubt be speedily
accimaied much farther north than that
limit. This remarkable plant grows wei!
on every variety Of soil, whether rich or
poor, light or stiff. 1t Is pot claimed for
it, however, as in the case of the famous
Rescue ," that it will grow ms well on
poor land as rich. bike most Individuals
of its kind, it delights in fertility, and its
yield must ever be in direct ratio with
the nutrition itrcceives. 1t is claimed for
it, nevertheless, that there is nothing fas.
tdious or arlstocratic in its nature; it d. es
not turn up its nose at poor land, but on
" cocks IFS ears. 1t is not necessary, in

to the best methods of planting the Dop-
rah, they are as various as the soils on
which it may grow. 1t is sometimes
sown broadcast; at others drilled, more
or less thick, in rows two feet apart and
as often planted, just as we do common
corn. have a small lot Of it, at this
time, planted i4 he last method, which,
although only hall mntUred, already oh.
s,ructs the view in almost every direction
through it. Another planting in my gar.
den, that was drilled in rows three feet
apart, and thinncd to about eight inches,
is also doing well. On the average of
lands, however, n medium distance, am
satified, would he best three feet and
half by one in the Tow. To sustain n
crop sown broadcast, the soil should be
well stirred and ,uanured, though il il il
merely I" obtain fodder, it would do well
on ANY soil. For the purpose Of iattcning
hogs there is no crop under tlrv sun which
with the same amount of nutrition, is as
abundant in supply AS the Dourah they
