TURNIP CULTURE-No. 9.

We have soWn, we think, all the vari-
/ cites known to the trade, as a matter of
/ experiment, and we have had, perhaps,
as large patch as any other body-we
/ had one year over twenty aeres and
| though not as large turnips as we have
/ seen grown by a friend near US, tten
| inches in dismeter) yet large enough for
/ profitable feeding.
The sweetest turnip we ever grew for
winter use, not in eating before about the
| first of November, was the green top
| Swede, and grown upon a very rich piece
of land, cleared up, at the time of plant
| ing at much cost, but the seeds, two
pounds, were presented to Us by an Eng
lisbman who had brought them over
the water" We prefer, for an early
crop, early fiat Dutch and the red topped,
both strap leaved. Dale's hybrid is the
prettiest turnip we ever saw. Yellow
ruta bags, or Swede, or the above green
top Swede, we only used one year for
winter and spring.
We see in the CailtiUGtOr and Country
Gentleman that in Canada a prize was
awarded for 3 crop of "a 900 pounds on
an acre, and the second prize for 90, ,090
pounds. We thiEk the bushel is sixty
pounds. We advise to plow with two
horse plOW, follow with a sub-sOil, so as
to have deep tilty, then harrow and cross
harrow. Sow for fall and winter one to
twenty acres II land be not rich enough
to produce forty or fifty bushels Of corn
per acre, manure before the plow, and,
after preparation, mark off rows twenty
eight inches distant, and SOW seed out Of
a bottle, by boring hole in a cork and
insert quill; try first how fast the seed
will certainly fais; if they will drop so as
TO be even quarter Of an inch apart, it
will do. Sow thinly, then brush in with
a light brush. Thin out to about eight
or nine inches. Or they may be sown
broadcast and brushed in. This latter

HOPS AND BARLEY AND IMMIGRATION.
Why will not our southern farmers try
to grow the hops, also barley, and supply
the breWeries that are sprippine into
being, and be ready for emigrants who
love lager as well as the babe does its
meat2 Wheat is more productive Of
bread, pound for pound, raised in the
south, than is northern wheat; NAV not
barley be more productive in malt?
We know not the price of hops, but we
have seen statement-lcng ago, true,
where three thousand pounds bad been
grown on an acre. At all events, barley
and hops will give two other staples, and
the latter light work for women and bows
and girls, who should help build %.
Besides, rely on it, the Germans, will not
come and stay without lager. Southern

The BEST JOKE OF THE SEAsoN.-A little in
cident occurred few days since in one of our
prominent dry goods stores, which proves that
gentlemen sometimes provide for tie wants OF
other women than their wives.
A lady anxious to purchase a camefs hair
shawl, could find but one which suited her.
After asking the price, which was $500, she
tried to persuade the clerk 10 let her have It for
$1,000. MADAM replied he, 'your huseane
a few hours since, made me the same offer for
this very article, and was refused" At this
stage, pleasure took the place of disappointment,
for. of course, Mr.. s. wanted it for his wife. In
order to assist him in his kind design, she paid
sub rosa $500 toward the purchase, after which
the clerkAwas to write to Mr.. s., saying be might
have the shawl for $1,000. Mrs. S. went home,
delighted with the prospect of so valuable ap
addition to her wardrobe.
Evening came, but the package didn't (; so,
highly indignant, the lady went to the store 70
demand an explanation of the neglect. There.
upon the clerk assured her Mr.. S. had carried
the bundle away himself. Mrs S. went much
mysti6ed, but in a few days, the riddle wsl
solved. While walking on Fourth street she
met fair, but frail one, sporting the Identical
shall. Now, ladies, be warned never aid yonf

How TO JUDGE TIE CHARACTER OF HORSE
BY OUTWARD ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS L. Thayer
writes to the Country Gentleman :-'sI offer the
following suggestions, the result of my close
observation and long experience. If the color
be light sorrel chesnut, his feet, legs and face
white-these are marks of kindness. If he is
broad and full between the eyes, be may be de.
pended on as horse of good sense, and capa-
BILE of being trained to anything as respects
such horses, the more kindly you treat them the
better you will be treated in return. Nor will
a horse of this description stand whip if we'll
fed. If you want safe horse, avoid one that
is dish-faced. He may be so far gentle as not to
scare, but be will have too much go-ahead in
him to be safe with everybody. If you want a
fool, but horse of great bottom, get deep a
bay with not whtta hair about him If his face is
little dished so much the worse. Let no man
ride such horse that is not an expert rider
they are always tricky and unsafe. If you want
one that will never give out, never buy large
over-grown one. A black horse cannot stand
heat, nor a white one cold. If you wanta gems
tie horse, get one with more or less white about
the head, the more the better. Selections thus
made are of great docility and gentleness."

MANY years ago, when Thomas Jefferson was
President of the United States, an attempt was
made at Washington to execute his bust in
plaster of Paris after new plan which, but for
the fortune of an accident, might have ended in
the death of the President. An artist by the
name of Brewer fitted box tightly about the
Presidents neck and left an opening in the top
through which he was to pour the liquid plaster.
The hair of Mr.. Jefferson was arranged in the
usual way, his ears stopped up, and a couple of
quills were put into the nostrils communicating
with the outside of the box, through which it
was supposed by the artist a sufficient supply of
fresh air could be obtained. The artist was not,
however, as we'll read in physiology as he might
have been, or he would have known that no
ordinary man, much less the President of the
United States, could get enough oxygen to sust-
ain life through couple of small goose quills.
Mr.. Jefferson took seat upon couch, his head
in box, and the artist poured in his plaster
For short time the great statesman patiently
submitted to the uncomfortable position, but
finding the supply of air insufficient, he got up
and, dashing his head against the wall, broke
the box, and the whole eontrivance fell to the
floor in fragments. Thus ended the attempt oi
Mr.. Brewer to take bust of the President.

ADVICE TO MARRIAGEABLE GIRLS. -Punch's

taking his tea, you may be sure he will make q
prudent husband. In the same way, always
mistrust the man who will not take the last
piece of toast or Sally Lunn, but prefers wait,
ing for the next warm batch. 1t is not unlikely
he will make greedy, selfish husband, with
whom you will enjoy no brown at dinner, no
crust at tea, no peace whatever at home. The
man, my dears, who wear goloshes, and is care
fal. about wrapping himself up well before vens
turing into the night air, not unfrequently makes
a good invalid husband, that mostly stops at
home, and is easily cOmortei with slops. The
man who watches the kettle, and prevents its
boiling over will not fail, my dears, in his mar
ried state, in exercising the same care in always
keeping the pot boiling. The man who doesn t
take tea ill-treats the cat, takes snuff, and
stands with his back TO the fire, is brute
whom | would not advise you, my dears, to
marry upou any consideration, either for love
or money; but most decidedly not for love.
But the man who, when the tea is over, is dis
covered to have none, is sure to make the best
husband. Patience like his deserves being re-
warded with the best of wives and the best OF
mothers-in-law. My dears, when you meet with
such a man, do your utmost to marry bin. IN
the severest winter he would not mind going TO
