Sow TURN1Ps.-We find the following
good advice in a country exchange: The
scarcity Of grain this winter will evidently
be great, as a result Of the great drought this
summer. This may be remedied in part, if
each farmer will sow several acres of his best
land in turnips. They make excellent food
for stock, and may furnish substance to a
large class of persons who may not be able
to obtain other food. Don't neglect this.
The matter is important enough to claim the
immediate attention Of every farmer. Five
hundred bushels of turnips fed to stock are
equal to three hundred and fifty bushels of
corn. Cut down the withered corn stalks,
manure carefully, and SOW ruta bagas. The
yield will provide amply for the deficiency
in grain, if carefully managed. Try it, d 4.
upon our word you will be repaid for your
labor.
The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1866-08-29

The late speech of the President in re-
sponse to the resolutions of the Philadelphia
Convention and his proclamatiau, restoring
peace, order, tranquility and civil rule
throughout the land, may we'll be regarded
as most important events in the political
history Of the country. They are the natural
results Of the harmonious action of the late
great conference Of the delegates Of the peo>
pie.
The reaction in the public sentiment Of the
North is deep and progressive. The truth is
beginning to assert its sway and to have free
course among all classes. The eyes of many,
heretofore blinded by passion and prejudice,
are being opened, and to perceive with clear
vision, that "the nation is in peril" and
that the Congress in power is, in reality, but
the Congress Of q section, whose mission is
the revolution of the Government and the
overthrow of the Constitution -. 10.
The manly words of the President and his
proclamation of henceforth peace, have been
received with joy. He had prepared public
opinion for its willing reception He aad by
his previous course educated the public
mind for the proper appreciation Of the great
truths there announced. - '~.er-
Military domination is at an end. The
authority of law is supreme. The writ Of
Habeas Corpus is virtually restored. The
Commonwealth of the South are reinStated
to every constitutional right, save that of
representation. The President has done all
in his power. And the broad and simple
question before the Country is now reduced
to this: Shall the Commonwealth of the
South be held as States in the Union for
every other purpose, save that ilalienable
right of representation? On this single
point the contest will be fought. ,.

The NORTHWESTERN Corn CROP
Should no serious change ih season occur
between this and harvest, the yield of corn
in the Northwest, will be the largest ever
known in the history of this country. The
estimate is 1893, 1000, O,OOO-over one thousand
millions of bushels! What a labyrinth Of
fgureS-what an ocean of corn! The Ohio
and Missouri valleys are the great corn gra-
naries of the West. Ohio will produce over
9O,00O,000 bushels. Growing corn depends
on combination of warmth, humidity and
limestone, which is no where SO happily
blended as in the Ohio valley. The alluva
deposit is so great in some sections that Fl m
forty to sixty bushels per acre is the annual
yield. An acre of land in Ohio has produced
l8O bushels Of corn n.-Cincinnati Gazette.

EARLY CoRN.-The Edgefeld Advertiser
says that Messrs. Smith & Clemens, Of Mount
Vintage, nine miles below this place, on
Monday last sent load Of corn Of this years
growth. to that village for sale, and readily
obtained for the same $3.50 per bushel. It
was of the Pennsylvania gourd seed variety,
and dry and fine. This species of corn is
people, as it produces fine yield, and
natures before the drought generally comes
on. Another year we hope many Of our
farmers will give it thorough test. Il
