the first Of April, take a few
large turnips and cut out the hearts Of
them TO form a sort Of cup. Fill the
cavities with earth. and plant two or three
tomato seeds in each. When the seeds
have well sprouted pull up all but the
healthieSt plant, in each turnip, and let
those that remain stand where they will
have the benefit of the sun; the plants
VIZ grow very thriftily-she decaying
,urnips furnishing It food. When the
weather becomes sufficiently warm, set
the turnips in well prepared soil, not less
than three feet apart, make la,h frame:

IN getting the plants started early vitbou

From exchange papers. We learn that
the sale of this article Is still going on in
some sections Of the country, but not
very extensively, probably, as the Agri-
cuItu7Jst goes to at least two-thirds Of the
Post Offices in the United States. We
have already received a host Of letters
heartily thanking Us for the expose last
month, and enumerating thousands upon
thousands of dollars, in the aggregate,
that have been saved to our readers by
its publication. We can hardly wonder
muItitudes of honest thinking. trusting
farmers were taken in by the specious
manner in which this matter was brought
before the community. While in Wash

in February, and succeeded in selling a
large number of IS 90 bags, (of Is lbs
each.) many OF them even TO Member:
Of Congress. The extensive purchase
Of Hungarian Grass Seed by tht
Honey-bIade Seed operators has &C

the lessened quantity Of material to b

MURDERS n NEW YORK - The
reign Of the knife and pistol appears to
have full sway in New York. The Err
press thinks that since the beginning of
the year, there has been IT least three
dozen murders IN that city, Including such
assaults as subsequently, resulted in death.
Within one week-from Wednesday to
Wednesday-the papers recorded fifteen
murders, Or murderous assaults, without
taking into account the bodies Of unknown
