Turnip Culture.
rom the Rural New Yorke

At a recent meeting of the Ancestor
Farmers Club, discussion of this
subject took place, IN which Mr.. Geo.
Taylor advocated thick sowing upon
the heavier soils, stating that the null
tlphcitv OF plants coming through the
soil Mt once had the effect of breaking
and pulveIizing any hardness which
might exist in the land.
Il reference to freely knocking about
the Young plant at thinning Il me, Mr..
John Weir would not advocate such
practice. but would be careful. when
turnips were sowed in drills, to remove
the earth from around the young plant.
Mr. W stated, In answer to a question
bv Mr. Graddock, that he had sown
alternate rows of turnips with super
phosphate, and had found the effect In
the rapidity of growth OF plants thus
tleated to be very marked. He would
also use manure. plOwed under in the
fall as well, as well as superphosphate,
but would see that the manure was not
too long He had plowed manure in
the drills IN spring, but did not APP
prove Of the custom. In some special
seasons this plan might be beneficial
but as q rule he found there was dan
ger of having to leave the drills open
to the sun so long as to dry out the
manure, and it also gave much extra
trouble
Mr.. Balm was always particular not to
use long manure, because it was not so
soluble to the crop, and Mr. Craddock
found that the presence of strawy ma
nures was apt to cause the cultivator TO
pull up the plants.
All the speakers laid down the rule
that the great secret of success in tur-
nip culture was thorough pulverization
and preparation of the land. They
also agreed that the best drill up was
as soon after rain as the horses could
be put upon the land.
In answer to Mr.. Craddock, Mr.. Weir
said be had tried turnips on old sod
and found that, owing to the presence
Of great mass OF grass roots, the crop
was very hard properly taken care Of
He would advocate leaving the plants
fifteen inches apart, and drills thirty
inches apart, thus securing plenty of
room to use the horseshoe, and insur-
ing crop of large turnips, which were
80 much more easily handled.
Mr. Balm said if YOU SOW upon old
sod. manure heavily, and then break
up In the spring as soon as spring work
would allow there was one good point
insthis plan, for a turnIp crop should
be looked upon as a means for clear
ing foul land
As to the different modes of harvest
ing, Mr.. Balm thought that the plan of
blowing up the roots was very expedi-
tious that and narrowing up might be
adopted in a dry season uponth light
er londs.
In answer TO Mr.. Frank Gabbel.
several were of opinion that any stub
bic land was suitable for turnips, as
long as such was properly MANFRED. :"
Mr.. Weir recommended Old Purple
Top. Sharpe's Improved and Carter's
Improved: for late sowing, Gray Stone
(white). The latter should not, he
said, be sown too early, as they had a
tendency to become hollow and strlngy.

Prosecuted Organ,

The human stomach has been a shamefuly perse-
cuted organ. There time when for every dire
LECTION of duty it was punished with huge doses Of
the most disgusting and nauseous drugs In vain it
rejected them, and literally returned them upon the
hands of those who administered them. They were
forced upon it again and again, until its solvent
power was thoroughly drenched out of it.
The world is wiser now than 1t in that drastic
era, when furious purgation and mercurial salvation
what Artemus Ward would have called the
main holt" of the faculty, in of dyspepsia and
liver complaint.
The great modern remedy for indigestion and bill
nousness is Hostetter's Stomach Bttersa preparation
which has the merit of combining palatabie flavor
with such tonic aperent and ambitious properties
as never heretofore united in any med cine.
It has been discovered, at last, that sick people
are not like the tabled Jitans who found prostratoD
refreshing that, when knocked down. they rose
from the earth twice as vigorous as before. When
invalid is FRUSTRATED by powerful depicting drugs,
he is apt to stay prosrated and the debitated beng
of the fact prefer the vuiJdng up the knock
tRq dorm system of treatment.
Hostetter's Btters meets the requirements Of the
rational medical philosophy which at present pre-
walls. 1t is perfectly pure vegetable remedy,
embracing the three important properties of a pre-
ventive tonic, and Alternative. II fortifes the
body against disease, invigorates and revtalzes the
torpid stomach and liver, and effects most salutary
change in the entire system, when in morbid con-
dition.
In this country where the enfeebling temperature
renders the human organization particularly sUscep-
tiblo te unwholesome atmospheric influences, the
Bitters should be taken protection against cpl
demic disease.

FARM. GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Seab on Sheep.

Two or three years ago [ addressed a
letter to DIR H. S. Randall, author of
the Practical Shepard making in
quiry whether tobacco ooze alone. IN
mixed with other ingredients, would
cure scab on sheep. His reply was
that he did not know certainly that it
would, giving his experience in treat
ing the disease as detailed in his
Practical Shepard. " Since my cor
-spondence with the doctor, | have be-
come cOgn1zant of two facts that prove
to my mind that it will, if properly APP
Piled, accomplish the purpose. The
facts are briefly as follows:
Two years ago last May, one Of nv
neighbors, Mr. Samuel Hamat, dipped
his flock in tobacco ooze, and it entire
ly cured them, but prevented them
from contracting the disease again, al
though they run on the common mix
ing with other scabby sheep. At the
steering the following spring, there
was no appearance Of scab s Tar as the
eye could detect it. The other fact is
thfs: Last May I dipped my own flock,
numbering about 500 head, IN tobacco
ooze, and at this date, March 9th
there IS no appearance Of scab on the
the sheep, although they run on the,
common with many other sheep that
we're diseased with the scab. Now If ii
can be established beyond doubt that
this treatment viii cure the disease,
and protect the sheep from contracting
from one steering until the next one,
there viii DO no excuse for having this
laathsome, awful disease in the coun-
try, and millions will be added to the
value of this kind OF farm stock -

Remarkable Mirage.

cords a remarkable mirage on Sunday
afternoon last. He says that to one
standing at Mount Hope there appear
ed lifted in the entire north sky the blue
waters of Lake Ontario, while reflected
from themeould be seen the mountains,
hills, valleys, bays and rivers, of the
Canada shore inland for miles The
coast could be plainly seen over a
stretch of fifty miles, and so clearly
at one time that the forests could
readily be distinguished Those pres
ent who were familiar with the Canada
shore could readily distinguish Rice
Lake, Belvidere, and other prominent
points in Canada. The lake looked as
though it had, by great tidal wave,
rolled upon Rochester, and covered
one-half of the city, as no building
could be seen north of Main street, or
any land between the city and the lake.

gear on one of the mountains, and were
