SnWIne Tnrnin Seed.

A correspondent of the Country Gen
aensan, writes the following:
We have repeatedly heard, as well as
seen it proved, that turnip seed viii moi
aeatch," or terminate well if sowed on
a stale surface: l.. e. on ground that has
been plowed any length Of time, much, il
any over a week. And once ] plowed
the same piece three times before getting
ain opportunity to SOW with a prospect Of
rain In a short time afterwards, and upon
fresh mould in any event. But a good
crop Of "SkIrving's improved SWede,
amply compensated fer the repeated plow-
ings which were found necessary as pre-
liminaries of that result. An excellent
neighbor said 81 bates him; be having
sowed when the surface was too stale and
dry; result small crop. i3 it5 gas1.
1t requires but a few days Of the warm
sun and wind usually incident to seeding
season for turnips, to dry the surface
mold pretty thoroughly to the depth of
two or three inches; especially if it be
not fine. But the seed of this root being
very small, requires the soil to be fine
and moist, which it will not be in drv
weather, Of course, close up to the sur
face, because it will not terminate so
readily or strongly if covered with more
than half an inch of mould, and less is
better than more. In these remarks /
am speaking Of old ground, or soil that
has been some years cultivated, rather
than newly subdued lands.
On soils never before broken, the sod
is not liable 10 be so rapidly dried by
wind and evaporation, and accordingly
large crops are sometimes obtained from
new sod land when seeded to turnips as
I shall seed some recently broken about
the Goth Of this month, June for, al
though ] consider turnip growing inn
practicable on a large scale, one to three
acres, according to stock, comes in very
OPPORTUNITY to supply a change of food,
which the larger animals must need
appreciate, as well as be benefited BY.
But to return to the terminating seed.
The necessity for fresh mold to deposit
the seed in or on consists in the fact that
the seed must first absorb moisture or va
por from the soil, which if dry the latter
will not supply close 10 or at the surface.
And it must continue to receive supplies
Of heated vapor TO force its growth af-
Ter the radical has shot forth, because
sufficient heat for this purpose will not
be supplied by the contact Of dry air
alone. But when the mold is freshly
turned up-presenting the damp appear
ance Familiarity dnderstood-there is suf-
fcient moisture both for the seed to alb
serb and swell with, and to subsequently,
