European War.

European War.
The announcement of sudden and heavy
foreign demand for breadstuii seems omin-
GUS to peace societies, but 1t will be revi-
wing news to Yankee wheat growers and
shippers. This report may be bear
movement of spectators; but still, there
is something in the relations of Turkey
and Egypt that is indicative of anything
but pacific result. The i'll feeling be-
tween these powers is not Of late growth.
1t has been in existence for long time
and n4-tainlv has reached a .;s. -h~-- -.
suit, unless the interference of other Euro
pean powers shall be decided, must be
war. Egypt is too far advanced in indie
pendence and civilization to remain vas
sal of Turkey and the latter has not suf-
fciently forgotten its traditions to yield up
this province without struggle. Hence
there will be war, unless Europe especial
~ interferes to prevent it.

The railway war between Vanderbilt
and Gould and Fisk (the New York
Central and the Erie Railroads) has
been renewed, and will be fiercer than
ever. Both declare they will not COM
promise. Vanderbilt says he will spend
$2O,OO0,0O0 to defeat the Erie, and
Gould and Fisk swear they will beggar
themselves before they will submit to
to the Commodore's dictation. The
great interest on both sides is to secure
the entire control of the routes to the
West. Other roads will enter into the
combination, and present appearances
indicate general revolution in railway
matters.-More than $3O,OO0,OOO are
said to be represented in the present

Turnips Among Corn.

tits frequently the case that in passing
through corn-felds in autumn, we find the
space between the rows occupied with sturdy
weeds; sometimes the spurious vegetation
completely overtops the maize, and " casts it
into the shade" Now, we would inquire, is
it not much better and more prudent, in every
sense of the word, for the farmer to occupy the
soil monopolized by the exbausting weeds with
some crop that will contribute to his resources,
than to have it filed with such productions,
and which will not only "snap the land -
most wretchedly, but foul it by the dissomina-
ton of their minute and multitudnous seeds
Certainly no farmer can doubt the allirma-
tive By sowing the Purple Top Turnip seed
at the last dressing of the corn crop or sowing
just before a rain and allowing that to cover it,
he can have a hundred bushels of good turnips
per acre, if the soil be rich aud well cultivated,
instead Of host of worthless and pestilent
weeds

Salt with Hay.

A correspondent in the Germantown Tee
graph says: 1t is current opinion among
farmers that salt preserves hay, and that two
quarts are sufficient to cure a ton. Salt in
small quantities is septic rather than preserva-
ton, hence a seeming paradox. Salt may i'm
prove spoiled hay aud cause it to be better
relished by stock, but well-cured hay requires
no salt, and does not pay for the trouble and
delay in the hurry of getting 10 wel-driedhay
Curing hay in the cock is much the best plan
for the farmers own use but for market dash
it in with rush, bright and dry.
