wINTERING TURNTPS.

Messrs. David Landreth & Son, of Bloom
ingdale, Pa, in little pamphlet having for
its title "What We Know about Turnips."
give the following directions for wintering
them;
"For winter feeding we preserve all
roots in pits-not mounds, as made in some
localities-narrow pits after this fashion:
Select suitable spot, near the stables if
practicable, but surely where the drainage
is good, and indispensable prerequisite;
dig trench sixteen inches wide, and as
many or more inches in depth, the
lengf b as convenient or necessary. In this
place the topped bulbs, and cover with the
oarth dug out of the trench, using a
little more in addition as Winter ap-
proaches. If cold may be expected in Sc
verify, place over all long stable manure, or
anything which will impede the entry of
frost, without creating warmth. Thus we
have found roots of any and all descriptions
-Ruta Bagas, common turnips, carrots,
beets, parsnips-to keep well. They are
accessible at all times, and when needed,
may be removed in larger or smaller guam
tito as desired. Altogether, it is better
than mounds, which being elevated are ex-
posed to frost, and require care in construc-
ton. In the pits described we annually
keep beets and carrots far into the spring
indeed, have fed our working oxen with
beets, to their great delight, up to July l."

SUCCESS IN FARMING.

Much Of the success we observe among
the best class of farmers, says the Rurai
World, results from calculation, skill and
energy. A man to fully succeed on the
farm must be an intelligent investigator.
BE should at least understand the charac-
ter of his soils, and how to handle them,
and the best time to do it. He should
understand the principles of the laws of
nature fully and clearly. BE must know
the effect Of each manure upon each partic-
ular soil. In fact, the successful farmer
must be scholar and a teacher. 1t is not
enough that he knows, mechanically,
how to plow, SOW, and reap. He should
understand when to do it, and the re-
lation of the elements, one to the other.
The benefit of rotation of crops should
be part of his farm knowledge; subsoil-
ing, the application of manures, and their
effects upon each particular cereal should
be clearly understood. ANY man can be a
botch on farm if he wills it; but to have
success in farming there is much to learn.
To be complete farmer, there is more
study, research and experiment necessary
than to fit man to be physician, mer-
chant or lawyer.

THE FENCE QUESTION.

To the Editor of the Union and American:
Bic Rock, STEWART COUNTY, TENN,
Aug. %, lS72.-Having written you two
communications on the subject Of fences,
in which | advocated the ''nO fence" side
to the best of my limited ability, | thought
of not writing again, but to let other pens
fight the battle through. A great many, as
evidenced through their communications to
your paper, think as l do, and some good
articles have been written against the pres
ent fence law. But there are great many
still in the "wilderness" whose prejGdices,
fenced in by old customs, have taken the
alarm, and are calling out with loud voice
to be let alone. Many and divers argu-
ments are used by these lovers of good
old times to convince US that
when they are wrong they are
right, and by your leave We will look into
some of these arguments, or rather special
pleadings for good old customs. 1t seems
to me that the gist of every article that has
been published in your paper in favor oil
fences hinges upon the poor pan. The
poor man, and they swing him around the
whole circle of their co nmuuications, I'M
til | begin to feel towards the poor man
as the Hon. Mr.. 4ancey did towards coon.
I'll tell you the joke: During the war, Mr..
Y. and the writer happened to be travelling
together through North Carolina, and at
nearly every place we had coon. Bacon
there was none, bu: plenty of coon. Mr.
Y. didn't like coon; but at every place we
stopped it was coon, coon. We arrived at
a town called Weldon. Now, says Mr.. Y.
we will get something to eat. We went into
the hotel took our seats. Wafer, says Mr..
Y, what meat have you for dinner? Coon,
sab, says Sambo. Damn coon, says the
Hon: Mr.. Y. with an emphasis that was
perfectly magnificent; and hope the gen.
tleman will excuse me, but l feel nightly
like saying damn their poor meal. He is
the most perfect humbug this Republican
Government ever produced, although a sad
reality in the old world. In reality there
are very few poor men in Tennessee, he
who has health and strength sand nearly all
the men in the State have this" asks ne
favors-and wants no protection laws,
other than those to secure him

Admitting what is called philanthropy,
when adopted as a profession, to be often
useful by its energetic impulses to society
stlarge, it is perilous to the individual,
whose ruling passion, in one exclusive
channel, it thus becomes. 1t ruins, or is
fearfully apt to ruin, the heart, the rich
juices of which God never meant should be
pressed violently out and distilled into al
coholic liquor by an unnatural process, but
should render life sweet, bland and gentle
beneficent, and insensibly influence other
hearts and other lives to the same blessed
extent.-HdicthOrne

NATIVE RAIsINS

Some of the vineyard proprietors of Cal
ifornis believe that raisins can be made from
the native grape equal to those of Malaga.
Various grape culturists have entered into
this new business quite extensively. The
Muskat and Tokay grapes are the ones
most used, and the prospect is that the
Eastern market, which has for some years
received good quality of raisins from
California, viii in future receive an article
that viii come into competition with the
imported raisin.
