vegetables we want them as large as we can
get them or as early as they will come. But
extra large turnips are not desirable; and
ii one can sow tnrnip seed by the end of
August and pull in October, it is sufficient
to satisfy the earliest longings. Besides it
is found, perhaps in no vegetable SO much
as in the turnip, that it is culture quite as
much as variety which makes both flavor.
The right kind of rich ground will make
turnip bulb in an incredible short space of
time; and the root in such case becomes so
tender and sweet that some will eat them
raw as readily almost as they would eat
an apple.
The right kind of rich manure is that
which is thoroughly well decomposed. If
fresh stable manure is employed for the tur-
nip, we get an enormous growth Of foliage
and small growth Of root. In many plants
the sign Of good root is abundant foliage,
but not in the turnip by any means. A
moderate top growth is much more favor
able to a good root than otherwise. In
England, where the turnip is universally
i"AoONS OOilO AAoI 10 oAO StSoI poPuAoA ASAIAA-
izer for the turnip. Here we find that a
piece of ground heavily manured from some
spring crop, and which has been taken off
in time, is in better condition for good
crop of turnips than the best manure inn
mediately applied at sowing time. Where
it can be made to suit, there is nothing so
good a preparer for turnips as the potato,
This root rather likes a raw manure !; and
by the time they have done all they desire
to do, the balance is just in the condition
the turnip desires. ~
There is one thing worth remembering,
and that is that the turnip is great ex-
hauster Of the soil. Many persons who
find at this season that they have small
pieces of ground with nothing OH it think
that as the turnip comes in SO soon they
might as well have something as nothing
from it, This is all very well if the turnips
are really wanted, and can certainly be turn
ed to good account. But if otherwise they
will not ''pay for their feed, and it is much
better to be without them. Germantown

FEEDING FOR EGGS.

The profit of poultry yard depends to a
great extent as to how it is mana ged. This
is true of any business. The idea should
be to make every fowl pay as large profit
as possible. There is great difference in
markets, and one should be governed by
them; for instance, in one market there is
more demand for eggs than fowls. Then
it should be the business of the breeder to
cater to that trade. AS rule, 4 think there
is more profit in eggs than in fowls, unless
they are early spring broilers. With proper
care and feed, one can increase the number
.of eggs to great extent. Hens cannot lay
or produce eggs unless their food contains
the elements of which the egg is composed;
that is, a large share of albuminous or egg
producing elements. In addition to the
quantity of albumen required in the organ
ism of the fowl, the laying hen requires an
extra amount of ovarian organization, the
white of hens egg being about u per cent.
of albumen, and this must be furnished in
her feed. By making chemical analysis
of the different grains, you will find tnat
wheat contains larger amount of albumen
