The Woman that Wanted Just to Peep
into that Private Closet.

The Lodge of I. U. O. F.. at Woodstown,
determined to have their Lodge room done
up clean and nice, and it was resolved unan.
imously that Mrs. Z. should be employed to
do the job.
After the meeting adjourned, tho guard.
an. who knew tho inquisitive character oil
Mrs. K. procured billy-goat, and placed
In closet that was Kept as o reservoir Tor
the secret things. He then informed tho
lady Of the wishes Of the Lodge. and TO
quested her to come early next morning, o.
he then would be at leisure to show her
what was and what was not to DO dome
Morning came, and with il Madame K, with
her broom, brushes, pals, tubs &C., prepared
and armed for the job, and found the guar.
dian waiting for her.
"Now, madame" said he, /" III tell you
whit we want done, and how We came to

near the manure Is possible, and IL is only
by drill sowing that this can be attained.-
IL is highly important in dry weather, thai
the preparing the land, applying the manure
earthins !. in, and sowing tie seed should
follow each other as readily as possible, 30
that the seed may have the benefit Of all the
available moisture.
After the plants are up and in rough lsal
near two inches high, the scarifer or horse.
hoe should be at work, to destroy the weeds
between the drill rows pretty close to the
plants after which the hand hoeing and
thinning should Immediately proceed, leav'
Ing the plants from eight to ten inches
apart in the rows. This distance is gener'
ally sufficient for allowing the Turnips to
grow to useful size. After the plants are
pretty well grown, and the thinning, hoe
ing. and wedding completed. the rows may
be lightly earthed up by tho double mould
board plO~.
The Globe and early kinds Of Turnips,
should be consumed IN the early part OF
winter, as they do not bear much frost, and
IL even they are securely stored, they are
apt to lose their juices, and 10 suasr some
decay; and when long stored they do not
answer Tor feeding purposes 30 well Us the
more hardy kinds.
1urnips that are to be stored must have
the tap roots ond the leaves cut of, to keep
the bulbs clean and prevent overheating.-
A good root cellar is Of course much the best
place for slowing turnips during winter ;
but where there is no cellar they may be
stored in long heaps Of about FIVE feet wide
at the bottom. four or five feet hish-the
top being finished in a sharp ridge and the
whole covered with straw, and outside OF
that, thick covering of earth. Or they
can be piled up under shed, and covered
ur plen,ifully with straw.
The Swedish Turnip IS superior to the
White in nutritive matter, in the proper
ton Of 20 to lS.
Turnips, where they can be successfully
cultivated and where there is convenience
for storing them, are unquestionably one Of
the most profitable products of the farm for
fattening cattle ; and arc also Of great ben
eft to store stock. In oil cases whore Tur-
nips are produced on farm, they nre the
means Of greatly increasing the quantity.
and improving the quality Of the manure
made, and thereby assist greatly in keep.
ing the land in productive condition. Oats
or hurley generally follow the turnip crop.

Grape Vines.

There are thousands of acres of rocky hill
sides over the country, which contain a
sufhciency Of soil in each of the many clefts
and small hollows, for grape vine. Many
of these are now covered with brush-wood,
Of no value, and incapable Of being turned
to good account in any other way. Yet here
we have some Of the very best sites for vine
yards, which can bs planted with very little
expense except clearing, burning and ssrcw-
ing the ashes upon the same ground. In
such places the roots delight to run, provid-
ing there are few inches Of soil to cover
them, for they will lap around and creep
under the rocks. and will draw moisture and
nourishment out of the stone itself. This
is one Of the most natural positions for
the grape vine, in which, If the most luxu
RANT growth be not always secured, there
will be good crop of finely favored fruit,
ard an absence Of some Of those diseases that
we have often to complain Of in a more arti.
fetal state Of culture. Here the branches
nav be allowed to ramble over the rocks
and inequalities Of the surface and, eI-
cepting judieiOus pruning, take their own
way. and il needs no poets eulogy to port,
ray the beauty Of such picturesque scenery
Hortici'urist.
A prominent cultivator OF grapes, in
recen, letter to friend in this town, gives
tho following IN regard to the culture o'
grape vines. He says :-' They will grow
very well IN good corn land but our prac-
tice is to dig a trench about two feet deep,
and say six feet wide, gil in with bones,
crea. and small, ho.u pcths obtained frou
the tanncry, old shoes and any oil rubbish
Of like nature, plaster taken from old houses
&C., &c, mixing in good rich dirt with n
portion Of compost till the trench Is within
four or Eve inches Of being full, then finish
OF with the dirt alone. The vines should
be sixteen feet apart in row. In this way
the vines will need but little manure fors
number Of years, only to keep weeds and
grass out. Our manner Of training the vim
is on an upright trellis, running the slat
lensthwise about fourteen inches apart, tn
posts nine feet long, seven feet above ground
We dislike arching over the top; 1t keeps
the ground too damp and cold between the
vines. should set the vines one inch low
er than they stood in the nursery, 50 that
when the ground is settled they may b
about the same as before they were trans
planted My manner Of summer pruning
Is only to keep the lattsrals back to one
joint. In the fall, after the frost has taker
the leaves of, make thorough trimming
and tie the vines to the tellis. / have
found by experience that to follow any On'
regular system Of pruning does not do 50
well upon naiire Grapes as IL does on for
eign kids. I therefore practice trimming
partly in the spur system and partly in th'
cane system. Goreesier Ncrs.

Judge ofthe surprise Of the author Of this
toast, on learning, the next day, that the
report was hlse, and the veteran officer still
alive. s..
This reminds us of on occurrence that
took place in the same State some years ago.
In tho days Of Myall, the publisher Of the
Newburyport Herald, IA Journal still alive
and aourishing,) tho sheriff Of old EsseI,
Philip Bagley, had been asked several tim 8
to pay up his arrears Of subscription. At
last, one day he told Mycall that ho would
certainly 'hand over tho next morning as
suro rs he lived. If you don't get your
money tomorrow, you may DO sure | am
dead, said no.
Tho morrow came and passed, but no
money. Judge Of the sherif's feeling when
on the morning Of the day after, he opened
his Herald, and saw announced the lament
cd deccaso Of Philip Basley, Esq, High
Sheriff Of the county OF Essex; with On
obituary notice attached, giving the deceased
credit for good many excellent traits ol
character, but adding that he Lad ono faul,
very much to bs deplored: he was not
punctual in paying tho printer.
Bagley, without waiting for his breakfast.
started for tho Herald Office. On the way
II struck him as singular that mono Of the
many friends and acquaintance he met
seemed to DO surprised to SEQ him. They
must have read their morning paper. Wa
r possible they cared so little about him as
to have forgotten already that he was no
more? Full Ofperturbation, he entered the
printing Office to deny that he was dead,
in propria persona. 4..f-r a...I.
"Why shcr.G." exclaimed the facetious
