TuHHIrs.-We wish very much we could
impress npon our readers the true value Of
the turnip, and its importace upon cotton
plantation when raised on large scale, as
it caSly may he. 1t makes a most valua-
bic food for all animals on the plantation.
The master and his family, and his negroes;
all like them, and they constitute good,
healthful diet for the fall and winter. Then
your milL,cows arc especially fond of turr
nips; so likewise are your hogs, sows and
pigs especially, benfitted BY them when
boiled into slop or soup; with little corn
or meal your sheep need no better winter
food than the turnip. With sufficiency
Of turnip food, and woods for your sheep
to run OF, you may have good mutton all the
winter, and your ewes will be lcalthfuL and
produce vigorous, sprightly lambs. They
require no trouble or expense in the way Of
housing, and they require no work but that
of preparing the laud properly, by deep
ploughng and highly y.manuring it, and sow
ing the seed. Remember those ,hungry,
dying cattle of last winter, and prepare an
acre or two more yet.-Planter d Sod.

BE GENrLE.-VioIence ever defeats its
own ends. When you cannot drive YOU
can always persuade. Few people will
submit to coercion. A gentle word, a kind
look, good natured smile, can work won
ders and accomplish miracles. There is a
secret pridesin every human heart that re.
volts attyranny. You may drive and you
may order an individual, but you cannot
make him respect you. In domestic circles,
especially, kind words and looks are most
essential to connubial felicity. Children
should never be spoken harshly TO. 1t'does
them no good. If they commit fault they
should be corrected for It in mild but firm
manner, and the impression lit makes upon
