Plant Turnips.

The Southern Farmersays: Turnips are
SO indispensable an adjunct to good farm
economy, that we urge it upon our farmers
to plant even in October, in latitude 80 and
81. We have seen ruta bsgas in February
large enough for any use and very sweet,
from a planting in October, and we think
even so late as about November LIST. Ad.
NIT it is late, and last year an extraordina-
ry favorable fall and winter; yet the labor is
so little, and all manure hauled out, and all
land thoroughly prepared, is only expedit-
ing spring work; and even one or two hun
dred bushels to the acre may save a valua-
BILE cow or aid in milk and butter making.

Pumpkins.

Besides the well known use of this veg
etable in the fall season, a writer in the
Prairie Farmer says he has for several
years past placed two or three wagon loads
in his cellar for winter use. The largest
and ripest are selected and handled with
care. They should be gathered before the
frosts injure them. If the stem oleaves
from the pumpkin or they get bruised much
they will decay and should be rejected. If
the reader is small farmer having one or
two COWS he wishes to milk through part
of the winter, he will fud pumpkins very
convenient, as some of them will keep well
until February.

How mol SEED to tha Acc

We often hear the question asked, how
much clover, how much wheat, rye, oats,
etc., should be sown upon the acre. J. J.
Mechi wrote to the Mark Lane EXPRESS of
London. in April last, concerning his ex-
pertinent in sowing wheat. He sowed a
portion of land in November, at the rate o
a peck to the acre, aud it looked like fall
low all winter. After hoeing in the spring,
it branched out abundantly, and promised
yield fully equal to that where a bushel
was sOwn. He adds: Every year SOW
half an acre with half peck of wheat, in
the midst of a thicker sown crop putting it
in the same day and under the same cir
cumstances in the various fields, as they
come n rotation. BY this means arrive
at safe conclusions, and would strongly re-
commend my agricultural friends to follow
my example, by thus experimenting on a
small aud uniDjurious scale. It would
abolish many Prejudices. and they are
bound for their own interests to ascertain
the most profitable quality of seed. My
four years. trials have resulted in So, 81,

sowing trifle more on light land; but 1
am getting more and more convinced that,
with high, clean farming, and the drill. we
may reduce our wheat to two pecks." A
correspondent of the Charlottesville IVA
Chronicle writes as follows:
propose to examine this question theo-
retically. Let the purely practical farmer
test and correct by experiment any unfair
assumption Of theory that might lead to err
Tor. The distinguished and eminently sue
oesslul English farmer, Mr.. Mech, in his
work, ''How to Farm Probably" insists
that experience has shown him that one
bushel Of wheat to the acre is enough to
SOW with the implements tor seeding, which
secure the germiOasion of nearly all grains.
Now is he right? Let as see. Let US try
him by theory.

Planting Trees.

The editor of the Southern Farmer, pub
lished at Memphis. says he has been plant
ing trees since 1899, and has planted at all
times, from before the leaf was checked In
growth until even in May, and has found
that the best time is as soon after frost in
the fall as the land can be got in good con-
dition, neither too wet nor too dry. Those
who desire to plant fruit or shade trees
should try fall planting.

But why this discrepancy between theO-

Because our land is never thoroughly
