FARM AND HOME.
The Root CrNn.

The Utica Herald says: The root crop has
scarcely risen yet to the importance of
staple product in this country Our agri-
cultural societies recommend and foster
the cultivation of roots our agricultural
writers show the superior quantity of roots
as for stock our leading practical agricul-
turists vindicate the protitableness of root
raising by practical and tangible results
and still the great body of our farmers
persist in their prejudice against the crop,
or, at least, indifference to it,
This prejudice and indifference must,
sooner or later, give way 10 more rational
views. 1t is well known that the health
of animals demands a mixed food. Hay l.
indeed for stock what bread is fol- man, the
staff of life ; but as man cannot be confined
to bread and water diet, without injury to
his system, neither can domestic animals
be restricted to hay and water without sim
liar injury. Succulent food is necessary,
not only to furnish nounshment, but to
keep the system in a relaxed and, at the
same time, vigorous condition. For ac-
complishing this end the root crop affords
the cheapest and best means. This is
plainly seen by comparing this with other
crops An acre of ground that will yield
40 bushels of oats will yield 200 bushels
of mangold wurzels. One that will yield
20 bushels of barley will yield | 200 BUSH
els of turnips and 500 bushels of carrots
will grow on an acre that will produce 20
bushels of rye. Surely one bushel OF oats,
of barly or Of rye is not worth rs much to
feed as 20 bushels of mangolds or of tur-
nips, or of carrots.
In England three million acres are de-
voted to the cultivation of turnips, to say
nothing of other roots, and the crop is esti-
mated to be worth two hundred million
dollars. BY means of this crop Egland has
more than doubled her capacity for sus-
tanning stock. As roots have increased in
quantity and estimation, hay and grain
have also increased, until, at the present
time, the average yield of wheat to the
acre in England is more than triple that
in our own and the New England states.
Further than this England can show the
best herds to be found anywhere in the
world. Belgium has made roots a staple
product for even longer time than has
England, and there are found the largest
herds and the most population to the
square mile of any country in Europe. A
Belgium farmer devotes over fifty acres to
the cultivation of roots, and thus makes a
farm of forty acres keep a herd of twenty
cows. The same processes will insure to
our farmers the same profitable results.

THE OLD TRENCHES BRINGING FoRTH
tRUIT.-One of the most singular sights
growing out of the war is a continuous
line Of peach trees of nearly fifty miles in
length, around Petersburg, and extending
towards Richmond. They are growing
from the breastworks thrown up by the
rebel army, and arc the only legacy left by
the poor fellows who were on the advance
line within one hundred yards of our
forces. Having eaten the fruit while on
picket duty, they cast the seed aside, and
now they appear i'm one continuous line of
forty-fye.miles of beautiful trees, which
yielded an abundant crop the last year.

BURNING OF a RAILROAD TRAIN.-We
learn that the eastward-bound passenger
and mail train of the West Wisconsin
Railroad was burned, while nearing To-
nah, Tuesday evening. The engineer no.
ticed several large wOod-piles along the
track on fire, but the discovery was made
so late that no alternative remained but to
run the gauntlet of the fiery track Put
ting on full force of steam, the engineer
braved The ordeal but, unfortunately, the
heat had warped the rails aud the fire had
burned the ties. and in the midst of the
flames the train ran from tho track. Ii
consisted of locomotive, tender, baggage
two passenger and two freight cars. The
locomotive, and tender were pulled out of
the way Of danger, and the passenger car
in the rear was at once hauled out. the
railroad men and passengers working tn
ergetically, and against every disadyan~
tage. The baggage car, with contents. one
passenger car and two freight cars were
burned. The track was at once repaired and
new stock put on, so that no delay was ex-
pcrienced i'm the trains on the road The
passenger ear burned was n second class

CARE OF WHEAT FIELDS.-A great mis-
take is frequently made by many who as
soon as their wheat is harvested, turn in
all their stock and there let them tramp
and browse till winter sets in, whom the
clover has no top and next to no root, and
is very likely to be winter killed. In the
spring the farmer takes a walk over his
future meadow, and is surprised to find
that the clover is nearly all dead, aud he
does not know what to do, as that field
was pretty badly run, and needed the clo-
Yer to bring it up.n n better plan than
this, and one that has almost always PROV
cd successful with the writer, is to SOW in
the spring, just as soon ~ the old sow has
disappeared, about five quarts IF the land

per acre, then immediately SOW gypsum
at the rate of one bushel per acre; do not
fail to sow the gypsum, unless you have
proven that il does no good on your land.
When the wheat is harvested, do not be in
hurry to turn in the stock until the clover
has made good growth, if it takes till the
next year. In ordinary years, it will fur
nish considerable feed, and then leave a
good coat for winter protection. The fol-
lowing spring SOW another bushel of gyp-
sum per acre, and the field. is all right,
either for pasture or moving, or i'm fact for
anything.

An interesting Agricultural Experiment.

SHELLSBURCi, Iowa, Feb. 1S7O.-Several
years since | selected plot of new, rich,
alluvial prairie, with Il depth of near five
feet of black surface soil. For six years in
succession grew upon the plot such crops
as / could remove almost completely, root
and branch, from the ground-such as
crops of currant bushes and grape vines
from cuttings, seeding apple trees follow
ed by beans, rultta bagas, &c. AT the end of
six years of careful cleaning everything
from the soil, this plot with the land adj
joining EARNED in the ordinary way), was
prepared and in due time planted corn.
With the same culture, the contrast in the
crop surprised all who had not given this
vegetable mold-doctrine some study. Upon
the side cropped in the ordinary way, the
growth of stalks and of large, well-ripened
ears, were above good average prairie
crop. Upon the experimental plot the
blunted looking stalks and ears reminded
one of cobble knobs of New England.
For the eighth year the cornstalks We're
removed from the soil by pulling, and the
land, with that adjoining, was sown to bar
ley. Again we had the same contrast. On
the one side strong, well ripened growth,
with half developed heads, too short to be
all cut by the reaper.
No chemical analysis wOnld detect in
this rich, deep, alluvial soil at the end of
the eighth year, any deficiencyin the ele-
ments of plant growth, aside from its vega
table mold. BY practice upon our rich soil
it is found that even dry cornstalks or stub
BILE pIowed into the ground year after year,
will hold the land measurably in good
condition. But perhaps no portion of the
State will be more benefited by alterna-
ting with clover than the great praries.
Why? Simply because when the great
natural supply OF humus, furnished by the
virgin prairie sod, is exhausted, it must be
-renewed.-[J. l.. BUDD, in the German

Rev. oIr. Hicks and the Ring.

We have the announcement, from the Or
gan Of the Ring, that the Rev. w. Watkin
Hicks mas rendered his resignation" as
assistant pastor Of St. Johns Lutheran
Church, and that he was led to this step by
the shubbub" occasioned in his congregation
by the political anti-Reform pyrotechnics in
the last number Of his magazine. The XIX
Century has become OF late go active and
jealous, if no. so efficient, all ally OF the
Scott Government, that the sympathy OF the
Ring mouthpiece with the editor in his
troubles is natural enough. The consrega-
ton of st. Johas, which has lourishcd so
long under the devoted ministrations OF its
reyered rector, the venerable DR.. Bachman,
will doubtless quail under the awful threat
of 1.-THE destruction of the church, which
the Radical sheet foretells as inevitable, un-
less the departure" Of the ':gifted" Hicks
be somehow averted.

Reform Topics.

An enthusiastic Reform meeting was held
at Dog Bluff, in Horny County, ten days ago.
The Chesterfield Democrat urges every one
TO 60 to work, and declares that unless
change be made in the State Government ell
the property in the country will be swept
away .'before SCOTS second term expires"
The Georgetown Times says: "We take
hope from the signs on the political horizon,
which point to the re-establlshment Of those
true Republican principles, so long held In
allowance. Ere another year rolls around, we
trust the old Palmetto State will herald vic
tory for good government, and that the elec-
ton OF Carpenter aud Butler will establish that
harmony between the races never again to be
disturbed"
The Union Times says, that after Judge
Carpenter concluded his speech ut Newberry,
last Monday, president Of one Of the leagues,
with number Of the private members, went
up to him, shook him cordially by the hand,
and told him publicly that they intended to
vote for him and General Butler. -. Where
ever Judge Carpenter has spoken he has con-
firmed the wavering, revived the hopes OF the
desponding, and won many converts to the Re-
form party.
The Horny Ne,os says: "From every Sec
ton of the county that we hear from. the Re-
form tide rolls on, Increasing In volume as 1t
goes. At one time there was danger that
want of concert Of action on the part ofthose
who favor Reform might so divide the vote Of
this county as to leave q probable chance for
the Radicals to elect to the Legislature out-and-
out Radicals, or men who were so far commit
ted to their policy, and dependent on their
votes, as not to pledge themselves to the Re-
form party. This danger is now averted."
This suggestion is made by the Union
Times: Saturday afternoon is generally
taken by the colored men Us time for recrea-
tion, and they select some point-usually
around a store-in each ncighoorhood, where
they congregate on that day. In every neigh
borhood there are white and colored men who
can, If they will, make speeches. Let some
one of these be appointed, or do 1t voluntarily,
to speak to the colored people In each neigh
borhood every Saturday evening. 1t is not
necessary to make long speeches on such oc-
casIons. Short and plthy remarks would be
more effective, and would command more at
tention. In this way the canvass would be
kept up warm at every point and In a short
time many who are now afraid to hear their
voice above its ordinary tone would become
good speakers and be our best and most sue
cessful workers. Let 1t be tried In every
neighborhood, and we'll soon find the colored
people drawing closer and closer to their true
white friends"
