ENGLISH TURNIP CULTURE.-Ol
late years the water drill has been en-
ployed with great advantage for sow
ing turnip seed. The mode of working
these drills is far less difficult than
would generally be conceived. Upon
our high land farms we have either
open ponds, or pumps supplied by un-
failing springs, where ample supplies
of water can be produced, and whence
it can be carried in water cart. Where
water is procured from bitches which
surround the field, the method is very
simple. A large tub is placed at the
side of the ditch, just where the drill
turns out at the end; this tub is kept
filled with water, the drill draws up by
the side of it, and the men at once,
with pals, fill the cistern.
Not only does the water thus sown in
the drills (mixed with the artificial
along with the seed moisten
the seed bed, and hasten the brairding
of the crop, but it is the best possible
means of conveying the food of the
young plants to the soil. A cistern full
of water. which is about sixty gallons,
will SOW forty chains, which will give
a total of about two hundred and twen-
ty gallons per acre. Several tons of
turnips per acre have been almost in
V variably produced by the water drill
over any other method of sowing.

An Arab Tradition.

A writer in the Overland Monthly
relates the following: "This tradition
whicn / tell you," said Refs Hassan,
sis many centuries old. 1t states that
there was in Paradise temple built up
of precious stones. Man dare not utter
It's splendors. Deep in the midst of
Eden it stood, angel built-a dazzling
sanctuary. Our parents sang their
vesper songs in the twilight shadows
of its courts; for there were pillared
halls and cloisters Of emerald and pearl,
where fountains sprang aloft in the
silent noon; and long, luminous vistas,
where, hand in hand, these two loveIs
walked in sinIeSs beauty. Then there
were pinnacleS and domes of sapphire,
blazing in the sunlight by day, and
glittering in the starlight by night
From court to terrace, waters welled
out, and the iris crested caskades fell
down to cool shady dells of asphodel
below; for the temple was placed far
within the privacies of that valley of
Eden whence the four rivers flowed
eastward. However, sad to relate,
upon the day Adam fell, this glorious
temple was scattered into million of
and sown broadcast over
the earth. These fragments We now
light upon, and gather up with cost
and care, and call them rubies, emer-
aids, saphires, and diamonds; but they
are after all, only that primeval palace.
The sunset splendors and the diadems
Of princes, the milky way in the heav-
ems, and the spray that sparkles in the
of a maiden's hair, are
alike but the costly dust Of that lost
'anctuary-the sad remembrances of a
departed Eden"

The Grasslaopser Twist.

There is little doubt that the Aneri-
can belle is destined 20 be the leader of
fashion. Her beauty, her grace, her
quiet audaclty, her perfect self-passes-
sion, all qualify her for dissatisfaction.
which, in part, she already enjoys.
Hoinely virtues, short dresses Of gray
serge or black alapaca, are well enough
in their way, but they are not beautiful
CT picturesque, and the American eirl
who is not always tries to be the other.
The effort to accomplish this leads to
aseries of affectations which would be
laughable ina woman, but are forgiven
and even admired in pretty girl, who
Is enjoying the brief period of her
maidenly existence free from care and
surrounded by worshippcrs.
The "Grecian bend," that much
abused but class it pose, WAS of purely
American origin, but speedily became
naturalized in every country in Europe.
Our artist has somewhat nodernized
tie costume, changing the distinctive
panier to the poay Of later date, but the
"bend" is given with perfect exaetncss.
vi course, fashion which originates
with beauty, and is made charming by
every art Of grace and refinement. be-
comes very different thing in the
hands of the vulgar, ignorant and in
experienced. Its groteSque points are
brought out in the most Iorcible man |
ner' and it quickly dies, killed by lis
popularity.
The "Grasshopper" twist, which has
succeeded the 'Grecian bend,n is easilv |
assumed by the 1.-THE and slender
forms which characterize American
belledom, and will be the "killingu
thing on the avenue this fall. 1t is
copied not only by young ladies'. but
by male exquisites as well; and the
"Grasshopper" is expected to be lively
at the clubs during the coming winter. /

1873. the Acceptable Year,


b. A. went west in April, 1878, and
planted himself on homestead in Ne
braska, west of Lincoln. He had never
been a soldier, and so could only obtain
eighty acres near the railroad. Bat
wishing larger farm he bought 160
oljoining acres of the Burlington and
Missouri River Railroad at five dollars
an acre,and on. ten years credit.
He has broken forty acres of pra-
irie, planting half with sod corn, and
half with forest or fruit trees. By this
very actlie has gained a discount of
ten per cent. from the land-price. Next
year he will raise wheat where his sod
corn is now growing; and will break
up forty, acres more. lie will thus
secure an abatement of ten per cent.
more the from the original price of his
land. The reduction of price thus OBJ
tanned is equivalent to getting thirty
two acres gratis, or to such an addition
to his homestead, and that on home
stead terms. In other words, Sl60 are
thrown off from the principal of his
debt to reward his making the most of
his farm as soon as he can. No part Of
that principal is due till the end of four
years, and then only s6S.57. His is the
rare good fortune Of the mother of
Moses, who, in consideration of nurs-
ing her own child, received wages from
Pharaoh'S daughter.-(Exodus 2:9.)
Besides, the Exploring ticket"
which he bought in Chicago, gives him
ride at half-fare from that city to the
Missouri River, and free ride beyond
it to bis farm. HIS car load of stock.
household stuff, etc., was also carried
all the way at about half rates
