RADIshEs.-We are frequently taken to
task, for the war we have waged upon this
worse than worthless vegetable. For fifteen
years, we have not permitted one to grow in
our garden or to disgrace our table. and we
have found the advantage of pursuing this
course, in the improved health Of our family.
Man is the only animal that will eat radish,
either raw or cooked. The sagacious hog
will starve before he will eat the poisonous
trash. Crude radshes are the most indiges:
tibie food that can be taken into the human
stomach, Independent of the acid, poisonous
substance they contain. But they do not
hurt me, exclaims one, can eat them with
impunity, and with relish. But, dear read.
or, do you not have the headache, or bad
breathi Have you no doctors bills to pay!
A radish eaten in the spring may cause fe-
yer in the fall. If any one doubts the pois.
onous qualities OF radisbes, let them be cut
in thin slices, three or four and soak the Sill
ces in water for twelve hours, and taste the
water. As watchman upon the horticultu.
raj watchtower, we cannot commend the cul-
ture of a.vegetable, that we know to be in
jurious.-Soil of the South.

MILLET CULTURE.
[From the tennessee Farmer.]


In 1851, had dairy Of fo.ty.fve cows,
and having been obliged the year before TO
buy most Of my fodder for a dairy of about
the same number, cast about to see If |
could not find something that could raise
in the place of hay that ] could keep my
cows on, and keep them in good condition,
and at the same time get good supply Of
milk from them for market (as milk dairying
is my business.) ] sowed corn, and found Il
an excellent substitute; bnt to keep so many
cows on it, required too much labor, and af-
ter mid.winter it became too dry and harsh,
and did not give much milk. 10 81, sowed
four acres Of millet, (four quarts per acre,) on
the 10th day Of June, and had as much fod-
der as from my eight acres of grass that year
and il was good year for hay. | have
raised from four to eight acres every year
since, and have invariably had good crops Of
not only fodder or hay, or straw, equal to as
many tons of the best timothy hay, but from
twenty to thirty bushels of seed to the acre,
equal to rs many bushels Of corn, to feed to
any kind of domestic animals | fed most Of
my seed, after having il ground, to milk cows,
preferring it TO Indian meal, as making more
milk and of as rich quality. The last season
had six acres of millet, which has been
worth more than $50 per acre. or S32O for
the s;x ocres have fed thirty -6va oous on

DoN'T Go.-The farmers who have been
induced to emigrate to Nicaragua BY the
promise cfa free grant of $50 acres of land
have not Jared very well, it appears. The
climate is deadly at certain seasons. A Con.
nenecticut farmer, Just returned from Col.

"As regards the fertility Of the soil, some
parts of the State is very fruitful; but do
not think an American can make living on
any amount of land. From all that | can
Judge, the government land for agricultural
purposes is worthless. believe that the la
Dor required to clear up sufficient land of the
underbrush to enable person to live from
it Gfhe could live from any amount of land)
il that labor were applied to FIVE acres Of
land in rendering it fertile and devoting it to
gardening purposes and fruit near here, il
would make man independent think a
person is far better off who is working on
farm at fifty cents day and his board, than
he would be at Nicaragua with thousand
acres of land. After they have got the land
in their possession, If they live long enough
to build house, they will find that the labor
of clearing land enough to raise afi acre Of
corn will be more than they can endure"
A good many farmers who went out last
fall died of the fever before they got their
lands selected.

the attention of the Ho,se to the horrible

No step of the Administration has, thus far,

How any one wb has observed the ad-

that they would hae done much for the good

posterity, but not fir its admiration.
