We have had several friends who have won our profound gratitude ever since we embarked upon the sea of journalism, by their kind and jealous efforts in behalf of our paper-and when we say our paper, we mean all the people among whom we live. Heretofore these kind efforts have been gratuitous and unrewarded. Such kindness has induced us now to show our ap- dreciation of our friends efforts, by procuring few very fine and really beautiful steel engravings. which we now propose to offer as preIni- um for new clubs. These engrav- ings are not the common cheap af- fairs usually offered, but real fine cngravings which cannot be pur- chased at any dealers for less than five dollars each. We now make the following liberal offer:

 INDIANAPOLIS. July "A, 1876. To Hon. John A. McClernafd,
 chairman, and others of the
 committee of the national dem
 ocratic convention
 GENTLEMEN: 1 have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication, in which you have formally notified me of my nomination by the national democratic convention at St. Louis, as their candidate for the office of vice-president of the United States. It is a nomina tion which I had neither expect cd nor desired, and yet l recog- nize and appreciate the high honor done me by the convention. The choice of such q body, pronounced with such unusual unanimity and accompanied with so generous an expression of es- teem and confidence. ought to outweigh all merely personal de- sires and preferences of my own. It is with this feeling, and trust, ali O, from a deep sense of public duty that now accept the nomi- nation and shall abide the judg ment of my countrymen. It would have been impossible for me to accept the nomination if l could not heartily indorse the platform of the convention. l am gratltied, therefore, to be able un' equivocally to declare that agree in the principles, appro e the politics, and syu p Ithize with the purposes, enumerated in that platform.
 The institutions of oDr country have been sorely tried by the ex- agencies of civil war, and since the peace, by a selfish and cor lupt management of public af fairs. which has shamed Us before civilized mankind by unwise and partial legislation. Every indus try and interest of the people have been made to suffer, and II the executive departments of thu government dishonesty, rapacity and venality have debauched tn, public service.

Raise a Crop of Turnips.


 As good seasonable reading for our farmers we reproduce the fol lowing from the Chicago Times, Plant crop of turnips. Now is the time. Not small patch; but 2 good crop of five or ten acres:
 No agricultural country in the woald produces so few root crops as this. In England, on the land of good farmers, turnips may al most be regarded as the leading crop. Turnips come into every system of rotation, and form a part of the regular food for ami mals. New varieties of turnips are in greater demand than new varieties of any other farm crops. When the turnip crop fails there is general depression in the az rieultural districts throughout Great Britain. Turnips are to England of as great importance as potatoes are to Irelahd, as corn is to the northwestern States, or wheat is to the states on the Pa cific coast. English mutton is chiefly the product of turn:ps, and the same is essentially true of English beef. Turnips also consti- tute large proportion of the food eaten by English lahorers. In that country turnips are looked to as a means of preparing the soil for the production of other crops. The turnip is analysed with a view of ascertainiDg what man. ures can be applied with the best advantage for increasing the crop.
 There are various reasons why turnips have never assumed the importance in this country that they have in Great Britain. In the first place the climate is not as well suited to them. Turnips, to do their best require, a moist aud a tolerably cool climate, not subject to sudden and extreme changes. England has climate of this kind, but ours is nearly the reverse. We ordinarily have a protracted drouth at about the time that the crop requires a large amount of moisture. An other reason why turnips are not raised here to a larger extent is that this is the best corn country in the world. We can produce corn at a comparatively small ex- pense, and we use it for food for food for all inferior animals as well as for man. It takes the place of turnips in the old coun try. Another reason why tur- nips are not more largely raised is that many farmers have never found out their real value as com pared with other food crops.
 But for all this, for all that, and for all other things, turnips are entitled to vastly more attention than they receive. The great mistake in our system of stock feeding lies in having to small variety of food. To keep up the fertility of our soil we need to leave off perpetually planting corn and small grain on it, and introduce occasionally crop like turnips, that will not exhaust the soil. Another good reason for planting turnips is, that all the work on them may be done at times when there is comparative ly little to do with leading crops. They are planted ordinarily ir July, worked in August and har- vested quite late in the fall. The amount of seed required for an acre is only one pound. So that expense of seed is trifiing. With seed drill the work of planting is very small. Almost the only ha.d work about raising q crop consists in the rocess of trim ming.
