THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
The White French Turnip.

This valuable esculent was the turnip
found in the garden of the grandsires of the
oldest generation now in the field. About
forty-five years ago there arose what may be
called great cutlery of wonderful discovery
of great benefit to agriculture. The ruta
baga, like some men of as little merit, was
suddenly exalted to a high rank. The people
were told that it had great merit in feeding
cattle, ard so many tons would grow upon
an acre, and the farm stock could be in
creased so much by the extensive culture OF
that turnip. A great many people believed
these high eulogies and planted the ruta baga.
A fever ensued, aud the white French turnip
having no champion, and nothing but the
modest record of good performance to recon-
mend it, was driven from the garden, where
it had held sway so long. Thirty years after
wards more or less, Mr.. Orange Judd of the
Agriculturist, found the white French turnip,
if memory serves, somewhere on Long
Island. Discovering its great merits, he
brought it to extensive notice through that
journal. He procured eeds, and offered
them as premiums to subscribers As such,
1 had the good fortune to obtain a package
of the seeds, and have ever since grown and
used this valuable turnip in my family. 1t
has no equal within my knowledge.
The white French turnip grows large un-
der good culture, smooth, healthy and sound.
1t is very sweet, find in grain and tender. 1t
keeps sweet and good long into summer,

gone. The ruta baga is fair and handsome,
but comparatively tasteless and worthless.
While tie world has the former the latter
never ought to be cultivated. The white
turnip, with the same culture, will yield
crop, at least equal to those of the other. 1t
is hardy and free from all diseases. have
seeds which grew last summer upon little
stray white French turnip which had sprung
from seed casually dropped in harvesting
seed grown the previous summer. This little
turnip was an inch thick, Or little more,
and stood where it grew through last winter,
and made healthy growth and ripened good
seed, the summer last past. One more fact.
Last summer, thnned my white French
turnips during the dryest period, when of the
size of mans thumb, throwing those re-
moved from the rows, upon the ground in the
bed, where they were partially shaded by the
leaves of those left. A little rain fell few days
afterwards, and when the turnsps were har-
vested in autumn, / found the most of these
turnips still living and growingby means of fl
brous roots sent into the ground from their un-
der sides. Several of them were an inch, and
some an inch and seven-eights in diameter.
These facts show that the turnip is as
hardy and strong as it is good. The seeds
can now be found in most collections, and I
venture to affirm thai it should be every
where grown instead of the ruta baga.

CamphOr Medication

Camphor is poison, and yet it is largely
used by many families for alternating pain
and curing sores. 1t is nervous irritant
If taken in small doses, it acts like alcohol
and opium. In large quantities, it excites
the nervous system even to the extent of
camphor spasms and death. Camphor also
acts as an irritant on the mucous membrane
of the stomach, leading to constipation and
liberation. On these accounts it should not
be used without the advice of a physician.
Families easily get into the habit of running
to the camphor bottle for every trifing all
ment, until after while insidious maladies
break out whose origin is little Suspected

natural charity of judgment and his tenn
per of Cancellation. What fidelity to his
conviction of right in public affairs re-
quircs he has done conscientiously and
in some cases nobly, but few men have
participated so prominently in controver.
sizes Of magnitude attended with great
excitement, and come out Of them with
a heart less embittered toward his foes
He nurses no hate, except hate of I'm.
necessary strife. The southern people
know that the vicc.prcsident is not hos
tile to them, but friendly, and they know
what since mis- letter to the Springfield
Republican is notorious to the whole
country, that he is far enough from APP
proving the measures Of administration
that have been most oppressive, in the
conduct of southern affairs. Mr.. Wilson
desires the triumph ofhis party,of course,
but he is even more DESTROYS that it
should be right. Had his sagacious
counsels been followed more closely the
republican party would be in much better
condition, to-day, north and south, for it
would have had less mistakes to apollo.
for, aud the nation would have been far.

Terrible Deed of a Maniac.

day, William Russell became involved in
quarrel with a younger brother. Their
mother, woman Of sixty years, inter.
fered when Russell turned upon her with
terrible ferocity, and almost severed her
head from her body with shoe knife,
killing her instantly. He then attacked
the father and would have killed him but
for the interference of neighbors, who
secured the murderer after struggle.
The younger brother and the father were
both badly wounded AS he had threaten.
ed to kill the family, it is supposed that
he is insane. lie is now in jail at New
buryport. a later dispatch says that the
younger brother is in a critical condition
and the tradcgy Of will probably be u
double one.
