The Fall Garden.

The Fall Garden.
There are but fHw seeds to be planted
this month All the Turnip seeds should
now bc planted Ruta Bagas cannot be
got in too soon, SOW Early White Dutch for
the first crop. The Red Top is best for
standard crop. When green's arc an object
as well as the bottoms, the English Norfolk
is the best variety. AS the Turnip must
grow quick to be sweet, the soil in which
they grow should be rich; spade or plow
the ground deeply before applying the ma
nure then scatter the manure broadcast.
and spade or plow it in. The seed should
be planted in drills; there is generally
four times too much seed planted, relying
on thinning out. In field culture, the
Turnip crop of the South should equal in
value the corn crop. The brightest Jewel
IN Victoria's Crown is said to be a Ruta
Baga, and her sea-girt Isle is walled around
with common Turnips. And here, where
the Turnip will grow all the winter, reuui-
ring no pulling or housing, but may be pull
ed fresh from the ground every dav, from
September to March, we have no Turnip
jewels in our crowns, and our half starved
cattle, hogs, and sheep attest, with woeful
work around our lUrders.
English Peas, Snaps, and Corn, for green
eating may yet be planted. Spinach and
Mustard, for winter use may now be put in
Winter Cabbage may yet be transplantcd.
Continue to earth up the Celery. Begin
now to save the seeds of Okra, Squash, Gu
cumber, Melons, and Onions. Plant the
top of the tree Onion and Shallott, they
will take root Immediately and grow through
all the Fall and Winter. If worms are
troHblesomc among the Fall Cabbagcs and
tula Bagas, SOW Gypsum broadcast over
the young plants, aud mix the seed in Gyp-
sum when tits sowcd. Gypsum will not
kill the worm, but the sulphur in it is off
ensive to the Miller that lays the eggs
which produces the worm, and it will look
for more congcnial quarters to deposit its
eggs. Permit no weeds or grass to 90 to
seed in the garden. = Sot1Mc South.
n KISS THAT DIDN'T PAY-The Tole-
do Record gets off good one in regard to
citizen OF Iowa, whose wife, in his alb
sence, had been kissed by drover, while
giving glass of water When he heard of
the outrage, he started at once in pursuit
u - u,
accused him of the theft
The drover admitted the truth of the soft
Impeachment said he had been long time
from home was sorely tempted, and in an
nnguarded moment of frenzy purloincd the
kiss, but that he had not damaged the wo-
man in the smallest particular--was very
sorry-thought it was no matter to make
great ado about, and therefore begged TO
be excused
The husband finally concluded that this
was the right view of the matter, and agreed
TO settle it upon the receipt of $5 for his
day s ride. This being satisfactory, the
drover handed over $40 bill and received
50 in change. But when the aggrieved
benedict returned home and consulted his
detector, he found the bill countcrfeit.-
lie found he had suffered the indgnity of
having his wife kissed by nasty drover,
passed one day in the saddle and lost five
dollars, and concluded that it didn't pay
DYING OF FAT-A Georgia correspon-
dent of Savannah physician, writes the
following instance of death from the accu-
mutation OF fat:
We had young man residing 18 miles
foil thiS pidCe, WHO was one OF the MIRA
eIes of nature. At the age of % years,
he weighed 500 lbs he continued gradu-
ally 10 increase in flesh, until he reached
over 600 lbs. He was able to get about
with tolerable ease to himself and attend to
his planting interest Some weeks ago he
commenced increasing in flesh very rapid
ly, and gained 1 lbs. per day then twas
found he gained little over 2 lbs. per day.
Last week he died suddenly in mis- chaise,
think from the accumulation of fat around
the heart. Three days prior to his death
no doubt he would have gone over 660 lbs.
