Culture of Roots.

Els. RURAL Most of your correspond
ents who have written upon the culture Of
roots,--have, | think, concurred in the opin-
ion that this may be made profitable branch
Of husbandry even in this country, the eli
mate of which is, perhaps, not as favorable
as that of Englanl where turnips form one
of the most important items in the catalogue
of farm products.
Having been in the habit of raising four
or five hundred bushels of turnips annually,
(moStly the round flat turnip,) | will give II
little of my experience for the benefit of
those whom it may concern. One year ago
last summer, [ raised four hundred bushels of
the fiat field turnip, and hundred of ruta
bagas. The latter were sown like the form
er, broadcast, and some little time spent in
thinning and wedding, but none of this atten-
ton was given to the others. The whole were
grown at a trifing expense. Some were sold
for culinary purposes, and the remainder fed
to stock not altogether for medicine
though think them very medicinal, but as
a substitute for dry feed. The stock having
dry stabling, with free access to good water,
kept in high order all winter-one of the
most severe ever known in this liitude,-
the COWS making a large quantity of butter,
the surplus of which, above family consump-
ton, was sold at twenty cents per pound.--
But it is the produce Of three-quarters of an
acre sown last summer 10 the rou ID fat tur-
nip, Of which wish to >sive a more detailed
account. | first sowed b, ruta baga seed.
but owing to the extreme dNuth. As / SUM-
post, N " VA gFmihafe. MI williag to- to
lose the usesosftRe ground, I watched a "a.
vorable opportunity when it had beon mois-
tened by a slight shower and sowed com
fiat turnip seed. They came up rather thick,
producing one hundred and seventy bushels
of beautiful turnips, as those who bought
can testify; for they were all sold for table
use. From the sale of this little crop, re-
ceived sixty dollars in cash. The whole ex-
pense of fitting the ground, sowing, pulling,
cutting and marketing, did not exceed eli H.
teen dollars, leaving net profit of forty-two
dollars,-being the interest of six-hundred
dollars at seven per cent. per annum. This
| call profitable farming as far as it goes.

To Cook SALT PoRK.-For the benefit of
those who, like ourselves, are obliged to use
considerable salt pork, the following method
is recommended, by which it is very much
improved, especially for frying. Cut as many
slices as may be needed, if for breakfast the
night previous, and soak till morning in
quart or two of milk and water, about one.
third milk-skimmed milk, if not too near
souring, is best; rinse till the water is clear
and then fry. 1t is nearly, or quite as nice
as fresh pork-both the fat and lean parts

SMALL BUSINESS FOR PosTMAsTERs. We are
continually in reception of letters informing rs
Of the base attempts of postmasters and some
other officials, TO "crush out" the Frtem1n.
The Postmasters are continually importuning
our subscribers to stop the paper-telling them
that everybody is Disguised with the dish-water
thing that they have orders every day to stop
them, and other silly sneers too foolish for a
postmaster to stoop to. We have number of
letters now on hand, and shall call names and
publish facts, unless the matter is stopped i'm
mediately. Meanwhile, will our friends use all
honest endeavors to extend our circulation, and
keep us informed Of the base endeayors of these
officials Three weeks since, we received 81
new subscribers from one Office where the post
master had given out his threat that every copy
of our paper should be stopped

The greatest political farce is the silly at
tempt of the forty two Democrats to control
fifty-nine Republicans in the Constitutional
Convention in Minnesota. Not succeeding
they have split off, forsaken the hall, and to
the number of thirty-two-a part becoming
disguised have gone home--are holding their
Convention. The Republicans have nearly fin
ished their labors.

FALSE. ooD.--The Argus retails silly false
hood that Gov. Fletcher has expended part of
the $4,000 appropriation by sending COM
mttec to Kansas. The whole statement is un.
qualifedly false-no such committee has been
sent, and consequently not one cent expended.
How much will be expended, we are not just
now warranted in saying Better spend our
money than our Liberties.

use them. Send three cent stamps in all cases
where change is to be sent.

wick eslied Apon to publish a call for Radi-
CT Aboliiion Convention to take more radical
measures IN regard to tie abolition Of Slavery.
This move has been before proposed, and by
men whose eounsels were worthy Of copsidera-
tiap but in expectation of such action at the
Republican Convention as would satisfy the
more radical minds, we have persuaded the
postponemcnt of call for Radical Convcn-
ton. But the action of that Convention, and
discussion Of the subject, has shown no dispo-
sition to paciiy this spirit, but to openly defy
their cndeacors. We regret that while the
Wings claim for themselves IL distinctive organ
ization, the action Of the Republican Conven-
ton was not such as to harmonic all the anti
slavery elements of the State And we still
trust that the proposed Convention will feel
called upon to ratify the Republican nomina-
tons. as the candidates are men Of undoubted
anti slavery principles, and pass such resolu-
tons as will express The sentiments of the more
anti slavery people Of the State.

the DAY BOOK on account Of the obstinacy of

how postmasters are appointed Too often it
takes place at the dictation of some leading

weose appointment is contrary to the wishes of

Ho! to the Wars again!

The recent Developments ia Kansas show an
unsettled state of atairs in that territory, and
that the utmost caution is necessary on the part
of the Free State men to prevent civil war,
and at the same time ensure their own tights
and that the evil of Slavery shall be forever ex-
cluded from their borders. The camor of the
ultra Pierce and Douglass wing of the Demo-
cratic party is likely to override the Admins
tration in its wide departure from the policy of
the Pierce administration. in contending that
the bona fde settlers Of Kansas shall have the
privilege of deciding upon their constitution
and for all the bold front presented, Walker
seems to have received instructions to do some
thing to appfase the wrath of the South. He
has made hasty attempt to intimidate the peo-
pie of Lawrence, for which he is receiving the
condemnation of those who had formerly sup
ported him on the ground of his candid posi-
ton. Walker has marched lis force into Law
renee, but without the least show of u resist
ance, and the citizens are quietly about their
business, resolved to take no notice whatever of
the Governor or his proclamation
