Turnips Among Corn.

In England failure in the turnip
crop would be a matter of serious con-
sequence to the farmer. More atten-
ton is paid to the cultivation of tur-
nips i'm that country, perhaps, than
anywhere else. The English farmer
is fully alive to its importance, as
stock food. For milk cows the .tur-
nip is an excellent food to increase
the aow of milk. They may be fed
to hogs also, though they are not as
rich in flesh and fat-formcrs as many
other roots. The cost of raising tar
nips is but a triflc. Most of our corn-
fields in the fall are occupied with
grass and weeds. How much better
would it be to grow crop of turnips
instead. In late corn sow the seed at
the last blowing; or, if the ground
has been kept mellow, the seed may
be sovn just before rain, and that
will cover them. In this way hum
dreds of bushels of turnips may be
raised at little cost. Try it.-ModeI
Farmer.

Pastufing Hogs In Summer.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman, writing from Hamilton
county, O., says the system of all good
hog raisers in that region is to pasture
hogs on clover during the summer.
He presents, as the advantages of this
plan, the statement that an acre OF
ground in clover will pasture five
hogs four months, and that it will take
the corn from half an acre to feed
them the same time. The cultivation
of the corn he counts equal to the rent
of the other half acre. He further
claims that hogs pastured on clover
are i'm far better condition than if fed
Oh corn, as they are larger framed,
healthier, and cat better; and also
states that the land is enriched by the
clover blossom. -
The hogs noses must be rung or cut
if thew are to be pastured. To do
this, this writer makes rings of pieces
of No. 10 wire three and a half inches
long. Each end is curved over the
horn of the anvil. A hole is made
through the middle of the snout, with
a fiat awl; the ring is inserted and
closed up until the ends lap a1ittle.

The Cost OF Making Hay.

This important Item Ill tiie Pfoht
and loss account of farming depends
upon so many contingencies that any
estimates must necessarily be more or
less indefinite. In the first place good
executive powers are required to di-
rect the movements of the men en-
ployed Ito take advantage of chances
which NAV make or mar a dozen loads
of hay, and TO keep all hands work
ing so that by judicious division OF
labor nothing need be lost. Next the
character of the moving land must be
considered the effectiveness OF the
machinery used, and the skill OF the
men who work it; the working capac-
tiles of men and teams; the weight OF
the crop, and lastly the general char
acter of the weather.
A good moving machine III hrst-
rate order is of TIE greatest lmPor-
lance in the haying of the present day.
Such an one, with a good team OF
horses. a good man to drive, and con-
ditions generally favorable, ought to
cut twelve acres il a day, at an aver.
age cost of Is cents per acre, where
the crop is heavy, say over two tons
TO the acre. If the crop fails below
that average it may be cut at less
cost, perhaps as low as 5! cents per
acre. Ten acres cut i'm day may be
considered very fair work, but farm
ers who leave their machines out In
all weathcrs, and perhaps through the
winter, cannot expect them to do
maximum of work. In cutting ten
acres with a four foot cutting bar a
foam of horses viii travel about twcn-
ty miles. uI,
1t is economical in all large mead
ows 10 use tcdder. The hay is made
much more rapid in this manner than
by the old method ofturning by hand ;
and as the tedder goes over the ground
much faster than The moving ma
chine, the hay can often be prepared
for the barn on the day OF cutting,
thus avoiding delay and giving the
farmer a chance to keep well up with
whatever fine weather may fall 10 MS
lot. Besides all this the labor OF cock
ing and spreading during successive
DAYS is dispensed with and a large
saving made.
With a wheel rake boy can put
twenty ac,es of hay in windrows IN
the course of day, or as many acres
as the horse can walk miles.
The machines known as shay gath.
ercrs" and shay swecpers" we arc not
practically acquainted with. but they
are said to serve good purpose at
the West, where they arc principally
used. 5000. 80 Co.. ~
Taking all calculable chances into
account, hay may be stored in the
barn i'm prime order, and with the aid
of all the best machinery, at o cost OF
fifty to seventy-fiye cents per ton.
Skillful and experienced managers
have actually succeeded in storing
their crops at the rate of fifty cents !;
but this is an extreme case. On
smaller farms. where machinery cam
not be extensively used. it is impOssi-
bio to gather the crop at less than one
dollar per ton, and if no machinery at
all is employees it will cost, at present
prices, as much as three dollars. We
know a good average New England
farm, on which machinery is used as
far as practicable, where the regularly
estimated cost Of gathering the crop is
one dollar per ton.- Christiaa Union.

hot water before you use it. The
reason for this is the ready combina-
ton of resinous matter, with alkalics
to form compound soluble in alcohol.

Persons unacquainted with the structure and

remain, would speedily destroy life. A total
Suspension of the urinary discharges will occa-
sion death from thirty six to forty eight honrs.
When the urine is voided in small quantities

nate more frequently than natural, or when the
urine is high colored or scalding, with weak

The cheapest and most nutritious
vegetable used for food is beans. Pro-
fcssor Liebig says that pork and beans
form compound of substances Pc
cuIiarly adapted to furnish all that is
necessary to support life. A quart OF
beans cost, say fifteen cents half a
pound of pork, ten cents. This, as
every housekeeper knows, will feed a
small family for a day with good,
strcnp thening food. Four quarts OF
beans and two pounds of corned beef,

ter, will furnish a good meal for forty
men, at a cost of one dollar--tvo

and ever reminding the pupil that there Is
"no royal road to learning, the watchword
of the Institute will be "hard work, "-by
which we feel assured the highest results of
education can only be attained. More than

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.


"The life Of the Aesh il In the Blood" is a
Seriptural maxim that science proves to be
true. The people talk Of bad blood as the
cauae of many diseases, and like many popu-
lar opinions this Of bad blood Is founded in
truth. -- r-ysr, - sft.--s..s q. p
: The symptoms ofbad blood are usually quite
plain-bad digcstion-causes imperfect nutri-
ton, and consequently the circulation is feeble,
the soft tissues loose their tone and elasticity,
and the tongue becomes pale, broad and fre-
quentiy covered with pasty, white coat. This
condition soon shows Itself in roughness Of the
skin, then in eruptive and uleerative diseases,
and when long continued, results IN serious
LESSONS Of the brain, liver, lungs or urinary ap-
paratus. Much, very much, suffering is caused
by impure blooaa. Il is estimated by seme that
one-ffih of the human family are effected with
scrofula in some form. Ig ID
When the blood is. pure you are not 50 la
bic 10 any disease. Many impurities of the
blood arise from impure diseases Of large
cities. Eradicate every impurity from the foun-
tain of life, and good spirits, fair skin and vital
strength will return to you. ,-s...-ff+l

SUMNER WORK.

! The first time hoeing, or what is
called "weeding," after the corn or
potatoes have been cultivated OF har-
rowed, running the implement twice
in each row, and if the hills were
made i'm exact squarcs-as they al
ways ought to be--passing the harrow
or cultivator both ways, man can go
carefully and well over half an acre
in a day. And if the soil is soft,
mainly free from stones, and the weeds
are not abundant, he can do an eighth
of an acre more. 49,,
At the second time hoeing, all acre
a day under the same circumstance
will be an easy eleven hours work.
All this OIL an average soil. 1t it
is light and sandy, the area should be
increased, and if hard and tough, Of
course lcssened.
This takes us to the hay and grain
harvest, which we reserve for another
number.
