culture of the Mangcl WurzeI.

The mangel wurzel is one Of the most
Profitable roots for cows, sheep and store
hogs-they are good for pigs. The crop
Ii easily grown on proper land, which
Aould be dry and rich, Low, moist
ENDS are not suitable for growing roots
81 the best quality. These soils produce
alarge yield, but if mangels are grown
they are almost destitute of saccharine
matters, and other kinds of roots are
Door compared to the same kinds grown
upon firm, rich soil.
Or. Loring states that $4,000 bushels
Of mangels are worth more to a man for
his cattle and sheep than a hundred
Bushels of corn, and there is no doubt
of it.
For these heets should be plowed in
the fall or early in spring for the best re-
sults, and then most thoroughly MANFRED.
LII one expects or wants a large crop he
must give plenty of rich food. Salt is
relished by the whole beet tribe, espe-
cially my mangel wurzals, 1t should be
mixed with the manure and applied
With that. As much as forty bushels
10 the acre have been used IN maDgels
NTH good effects. No one need hope
to grow large crops of roots such as we
lead about now and then, unless his
ground is like a rich garden and then
when such large crops are off, the land
ii poor again. The time for sowing
mangles is during the fore part of June
On good warm land. If sown earlier
they often grow woody, and sometimes
rot.
The amount of seed required per acre
Is about four pounds, worth now at The
retail stores about sixty to seventy-five
cents per pound. The long red is the
sort usually grown, although some pre-
fer the globe variety. The rows are put
about two feet apart, but they may be
closer where the space is small and hand
Cn~ ltivation is given. In the cultivation
Of roots the soil must be in the finest
filth, the Jumps all crushed and ground
to powder. A roller will not always do
This, IA it presses the Jumps into the
ground without breaking them. La some
parts a sort of cheap clod crusher is made,
and it is a very good thing to have on
every farm, whether roots are grown or
not. 1t is made of three or four planks a
foot or so wide and eight feet long. They
arc drawn so as to take a sweep of eight
feet, or as wide as the planks are long.
The front under-edge of each plank Is
beveled off a little so that the Jumps and
earth will not be pushed forward. They
are fastened together by trotting some
strong pieces across at each end, which
are made slightly rocking on the under
side. A chain is hitched at each end,
and the team to the chain, then jump on
and go ahead. This grinds the Jumps
ine instead of pressing them into the
ground. Some straight slabs from a
saw-mill are almost as good as plank

BILE wine merchants in this respect,
that they are clever in mixing. The

The practitioners of mixing render the

The author, Col. John H, Dent, one
OF Georgia's most intelligent and success
full farmers, now far advanced In lie,
contributes this excellent article to that
valuable paper, the Southern Plantation /;
and we commend it to the attention OF
ali southern farmers:
NV last was cautionlng against such
large crops of cotton being planted, as
r~uinous to the agricultural welfare OF the
south. The Plantation OF the 5th, IN
The editorial department has an ed torlai

is shown by planting five acres in corn

marks, Contrast that result win the

have added, or the farmer that Is cultl-
waiting a four hundred acre farm, and
making cotton his special crop. lhe
twenty acre farm is an Illustration oil
diversified farming, and 1T Is as true as
any certain fact, that the only way to
farm successfully is to diversity the crops
land in accordance with my experience
it can be profitably done on a farm OF
two hundred acres in cultivation, but
where it is done on a two hundred acre
tarm, at least eighty acres should be put
down to small grain crops. sixty to corn
fifty to cotton, and ten acres to truck
crops--my hermaintains that two hun
dred acres is a farm large enough for any
farmer to cultivate with hired labor, Il
he wants to farm successfully.
This brings me to the subject, diversi
fed farming, which l have advocated
and recommended ever since the emanci
patton of slavery. The farmers capita
now chiefly consist in his farm and stock

'sThe Sure Witness

"The nineteenth century is the age OF
novels" remarks q literary historian-he
might have added with equal truth, " and
novel impositions." Studied politeness has
been passed off on us for native refinement,
the forms of devotion for its essence, and
speculation for science, until we look ask
ance at every new person or thing, and to an
assertion of merit, invariably exclaim,
"Prove it !" In brief, Satan has made him
self so omnipresent, that we look for his
%cloven foot evtrywhere-even in a bottle oil
medicine. Imagine a lady, having a COM
plexion so sallow that you would deny her
claims to the Caucasian type if herfeatures
did not conform to it, purchasing a bottle of
the Golden Medical Discovery. The one
dollar is paid in the very identical manner
in which Mr.. Taylor might be expected to
purchase a lottery ticket after his experience
with ono. 0 ,163," with this difference, his
doubt would be the result of personal expe-
renee while hers would be founded on what
a certain practitioner (who has been whole
year trying to correct her refractory liver
has said concerning it. At home, she exam
ines the bottle half suspiciously, tastes of its
contents carefully, takes the prescribed dose
more carefully, and then proceeds to watch
the result with as much anxiety as a practl-
toner would count the pulse beats Of a dy.
ing man. She takes another dose, and
another, and shows the bottle to her friends,
telling them she " feels better" Her skin
loses its bilious tint, her eyes regain their
lustre, her accustomed energy returns, and
the fact that she purchases another bottle Is
a sure witness that she has found the Golden
Medical Discovery to be a reliable remedy
for the disease indicated, The lady wisely
resolves that in future her estimate of any
medicine will be based upon a perS0Ratknout-
edge of its effects, and not upon what some
practitioner who always makes long bills
rhyme with pills may say of it. DR., Pierce
is in receipt of letters from hundreds of the
largest wholesale and retail druggists in the
United States stating that at the present
time there is a greater demand for the
Golden Medical Discovery and PurgatIve
Pellets than ever before. Ia affections OF
the liver and blood they are unsurpassed.
