Why is Glover Beneficial to
Land?

Becouse it derives n vast amount of
carbon from the air, which the clover
supplies to. the soil. A dry stalk of clover
consists almost entirely of carbon. If a
crop of clover is turned under and dec ys,
large quantity of carbon is distributed
in the soil. Even if the crop is.not turned,
a large amount is deposited in the land
through the roo's of the plant.
Carbon forms the basis of charcoal and
by agricultural writers is frequently used
synonimously with that word. 1t is an
excellent absorbent, and for this reason is
valuable in soils for the purpose of retain
ing manures and all fertilizing matters.-
In Europe, and in many places in this
country where the soil is poor and manures
costly, carbon (or charcoaD is frequently
scattered over heaps of mauures or other
substances emitting offensive oders, and the
gases thus escaping will be absorbed by the
charchoal. 1t is also an excellent absor-
bent of moisture, and is therefore very
valuable in soils. It also renders the soil
warmer, and in fine, is one of our most
valuable mnnures. 1t is hot our purpose
hear to speak of all its excellent qualities,
but we wish merely to say that in no way
can it be SO easily and chcaply combined
with the soil as by raising clover, Farmers
who have tried it and seen its effects upon
their soil, consider it one of the best ways
Of keeping their land in fertile state, by
raising it as an alternate crop.

Culture of the Turnip.

1t is scarcely practicable to carry on 4
correct and profitable system ofhusbandry
without the introduction Of green and root
crops among which turnips and potatoes
deserve especial attention, as being among
the most valuable productions Of the farm ;
not only as suitable change in the rota-
ton, but also highly esteemed for their
usefulness in cattle feeding, and for domos-
tic purposes.
Turnips are the most important root for
the fattening of cattle; although by some
the turnip crop is considered merely as n
catch crop-the meaning of which is, that
the crop is produced upon land that wculd
otherwise have remained naked fsllow
through the season, in order that the soil
might be properly titled by repeated plow.
ings, freed from root.weeds, manurcd and
prepared for the succeeding grain crop. It
therefore may be considered an economical
crop, as the land during the cultivation
end growth cf the turnips, receives the
requisite preparation for the grain crop
which is to follow, with the exception of a
single plowing after the turnips are reno
we'd from the land.
The quantity of seed should always be
liberal, for by sowing too little, the crop
sometimes fails for wien the plants are
attacked be insects, and are thin ON the
ground, the crop will be destroyed, where
as if the plants are numerous, they grow
quicker, and are the more likely to with
stand the ravages of insects or droughty
season.
The Swedish turnip is superior to the
white in nutritive matter, in the proportion
of 90 to 13.
Turnips, where they can be successfully
cultivated and where there is convenience
for storing them, are unquestionably enc
of the most profitable products of the farm
for fattening cattle, and are also of great
benefit to stock. In all cases where
turnips are produced on farm, they arc
the means of greotly improving the quality,
and increasing the manure made, and
thereby assist greatly in keeping the land
in productive condition. Oats or barly

The Murder in Jackson Co Iowa

The MURDERER HUNG By THE MoB.-
Week before last, a farmer living in
Jackson county. named John Ingle. was
induced TO 90 out asquirrel hunting with
a neighbor, and never returned ahve.-
His companion murdered him while In
the woods; the body was soon afterwards
found. and the crime was at once fixed
on his companion. The murderer was
arrested and lodged in all at Andrew.
Last Friday an excited mob assembled
before the Jail. and soon made an attack
apuu the door with sledge hammers.-
One hundred and four blows were struck
before the strong door gave way, and
the frightened wretch was dragged forth.
He was at once conveyed 10 a Temporal
" scaffold. Here lie made a confession
of the murder, but said he was not actu-
ated by any personal malice; he had
been instiga,ed and hired to commit the
murder by two men named Henry Gar
reit. and David Mcdonald. The muir
derer was forthwith hung by the mob.
Garrett was afterwards arrested and
taken TO a Justices Office for examina
ton. While there. the mob commenced
r~e-assembling in front of the house. and
declared their determination TO hang him
when he came out. But he was taken
out the back way, and hurried over 10
Bellevue. where he was lodged in Jail.
Fearing that he would be taken from this
place by the mob. the County JUICE
ordered his removal TO the Davenport
jail. He was brought here, and 0
lies in our p-ison.-Davenport Gazette.
