The 1'urnin Crop.

The Germantown Telegraph remarks:
There is no crop that the farmer can put in
the ground which pays him better than the
turnip. We are aware that with some per-
sons, 1t is looked upon as of little account
but it has never received the consideration
to which it is Justly entitled, and those who
turn up their noses at it are not genuine
farmers.
1t is crop moreover that is put in at a
time when the hurrying work of the season
is over; and it occupies ground that has al
ready been used for something else
The cultivation also, say of from one to
two acres of turnips, involves comparative
ly fttle labor. The crop, too, is harvested
in November, when there is almost no other
labor on the farm to interfere with it.
As to the variety of seed to sow, we be-
lieve there is no turnip equal to the purple
top. 4 top dressing of bone manure is al
most indispensable to an abundant crop.
For an early crop take the Early Flat
Dutch and SOW broadcast in July The Pur-
pie top for the regular farm crop. This
should be sowed in drills thirty inches apart
and when the turnips are the size of hick-
ory-nut, thin out to eight or ten inches apart
in the row. They seldom fail in affording
satisfactory crop.
Where the land is a little short, SOW
among the corn of the last working They
will not interfere in the least with that crop
generally, and very little when it is harvest.
ed.
BE sure always TO procure seed from es-
tablished seed houses of reputation, and
use that grown here instead of in Europe, if
you wish the best and safest article.

Well, last Monday Susan, either by an

C%onfucius, or for some other u%naccount-
