TURN1Ps.


The time is close at hand for sow~
ing the seeds Of turnips. As the
Rutabagas stand The warm weather
best, and require more time to ma
sure, they are generally sown first,
Gardeners and seed men recommend
sowing 10 drills FROM l6 to 20 inch
es apart and leaving the plants from
6 to s inches in the drill. This plan
will do very well for small plsts, but
on farms where there is a plenty OF
land we have always thought it
would be better to have the distance
between the rows at least "a feet.
This admits of blowing without in
jury to the plants. It il lime and
seed thrown away to attempt to cul~
tivate turpips unless the ground is
pat 10 a clean, loose condition. -
Thoroughly decomposed mapnre,
guano and ashes are all good for
turnips. Put them literally in The
drills. Sow rutabagas any time
from the middle of July to the mid
die of August. Other varieties from
the LIST of August to the LIST OF Sep
TENDER.

CHARCOAL. One of the most SIM
pie and excellent medicines for any
arrangement of the stomach of hui
man beings, is finely pulverized,
fresh burnt charcoal. For this pur'
pose it should be closely corked up
in bottle as soon as it has been
burnt and ground. A teaspoonful
in a winegIass of water once day
will be found beneficial and worth
more than the quack nOstrums of the
day. But our object was to speak
of the value of charcoal to domestic
animals, particularly to fattening
hogs. A half pint of it finely pull
verified and mixed with corn meal
and water to each animal once or
twice week, will be found extremes
ly beneficial in aiding digestion and
preventing any arrangement OF the
stomach arising from overlooking
Besides serving as medicine 1t IS
also extremely fattening. Perhaps
free uss of charcoal would prevent
cholera in hogs.

the diseases it is intended to cnre.
It's ingredients are so skilfully COM

still so eifectual as to purge out from the

CUNNING ON THE MARSH.

Some Suggestions for the BENEFIT of Anna
teur Sportsmen.
The time for reed and blackbrd shooting is
near at hand, aud as our amateur sportsmen
are constantly getting into water up to their
hips, the following suggestions are made for
their benefit If wet legs are objected to on
the score of health long ater.proof boots
should be worn, with plenty of warm hose,
drawers aud flannel waistcoats. Most gunners
prefer leather boots, well dressed, to those
made of rubber, which, although they keep
out the wet most perfectly, yet have
the objections that they are heavy aud
more completely keep in the perspira-
ton. 1t is seldom, in spite of these pre-
cautions, that the sportsman passes the day
without getting wet, as he is almost sure to get
into water while cunning. Nothing is SO
trcacherous as DOGGY and marshy land, and
therefore he ought to walk cautiously all the
time If, however, he takes care to keep his
boots waterproof with the following compo-
stion he will only require to diecp his upper
works dry by avoiding severe rain and abso.
lutte duckings: Boiled linseed OIL /! pounds
yellow wax, ounces Canada balsam, l
ounce; mix over o slow fire. This is to be
rubbed in two or three times q
week with neatsfoot oil, according to
amount of exposure to wet, But
he may persevere with impunity through
any amount of wet If he takes care to keep
moving. not to drink any quantity of ardent
spirits, and to change his clothing tho moment
he ceases his exercise. He should also, as soon
as he can after a voting, soak his feet and legs
in strong, hot salt and water, and then clothe
warmly. The two great promoters of disease
are spirits and sitting in wet clothes; and both
may easily be avoided without loss of sport.

The Death of Miss Nellie Tidmarsh,

Miss Nellie Tidmarsh died yesterday at her
home in this city, after brief illness of
typhoid fever. Miss Tidmarsh was born in
England, and lost her parents when q very
little girl. She soon afterward came to this
city with an aunt, and has resided here ever
since. For nearly six years she was employed
in the press-room of The NATIONAL REPUB-
LIcAN job-ofiice, having become most expert
operative. Her advent in this office was an
instance of her self-relant nature. AT that
time Miss Tidmarsh was so small that she wore
the short dresses of a child. She applied in
pc rson for employment, being unaccompanied

pupil that she soon became Indispensable
She was then so short in stature that q
little platform of boxes had 10 be made for
her to stand on while feeding" the presses
Her intelligence and rare loveiness of ma.
ture endeared her to every one with whom she
was associated. Her short life was enbitterod
by suffering, both of body and mind but she
bore everything with patience truly heroic
While simple and pure at heart as q child, she
gave her life up to sef-sacrihcing struggle
which indicated an uncommon strength of pur-
pose. She remained at her post in The Ma.
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN Office until last Friday,
being unwilling to succumb to the approach of
disease. She then was Frustrated aud the fatal
fever quickly appeared. That she had some
presentment OF death is evidenced in the fact
that before being confined to her bed she
named the young gentlemen whom she desired

George Haslam, William Cole aud John Boss, all
of whom have been her associates in this office.
