TURNns.-There Is no crop that the
farmer puts in the ground that pays him
better than the turnip. We are aware that
with some persons it is looked upon as Of
little account: but it has never received
the consideration to which il ls really eE-
titled and those who turn up their noses
at it are not genuine farmers. 1t is crop.
moreover, that Is put in at time when the
hurying work is over; when 1t occupies
ground that has already been used for
something else. The cultivation also, say
of from one to Two acres of turnips, in
wolves comparatively little labor. The
crop, too is harvested in November, when
there Is almost no other labor on the farm
to interfere with 1t. As to the variety of
seed to SOW We believe there is no turnip
equal to the purple top. A top-dressing OF
bone manure is almost indispensable to an
abundant crop. For an early crop take
the Early flat Dutch and SOW broadcast.
TIE Purple Top for the regular farm crop.
This should be sowed in drills thirty inches
apart and when the turnips are the size Of
a hickory nut thin out to eight or ten
inches apart in the row. They seldom
fail in affording satisfactory crop. Be
sure always to procure seed of houses of
reputation, and use that grown here instead
of in Europe if you wish the best and
safest article.

article out IN the back yard where the sun

to his brother, and when Michael came
along and saw the barrel there, he thought
If that barrel stands there If will dry up
and fall TO pieces. AS it was a good bar

mother not to use it for clsieru. And
while he was gone Michael strolled round

CucunberS.

The pickle business ON Long Island,
especially in the neigborhood of Hun
tiagton, Suffolk county. has become of
late years an important branch of in
dustry. A large pickle factory has been
erected recently at Farmingdale, the
proprietors of which have contracted for
81, 600, 900 of this years crop of
cucnmbers at 81 thousand, and the
farmers are paid on delivery. Many
farmers have contracted also with
Boston firms for their whole crop: 1t is
estimated that the cucumber crop near
Huntington alone will net the farmers
over $40, 900. The usual product for
an acre is 100, 900 cucumbers, and it
costs about one-third of the selling price
to pick them. The grower nets about
S65 an acre. The market price for
cucunbers is 81 to s., 20 per thousand.

Strange Friends.

In the Geological garden in Dublin,
ireland, there was a ioness that went by
the name of old girl. She was born in
the garden in 1859, and died there at the
age of 16 years "a pretty old age for a
lioness), after presenting her owner with
81 cubs, of which she actually reared
so. She was ioness of very high
spirit, though quite gentle, and good
judges say she was the handsomest one
they had ever seen.
These flesh eating beasts, when in
health, have no objections to the pres
ence of rats in their cages on the con-
trary, they rather welcome them as a re-
lief of that sameness of life which is the
chief trial of wild animal in confine-
ment. But in illness the case is different
for the ungrateful rats, not contented
with sharing the lions food, then begin
to nibble the toes of the helpless lord of
the forest, and add much to his discom-
fort.
To save the Old girl from this vexa-
tion, the keepers placed in her cage a
fine little terrier. He was at first re-
ceived with sulky growl from the Old
Girl but when the first rat appeared, and
she saw the little terrier toss him into
the air and catch him across the ioins
with snap as he came down, she be-
gan to understand what the terrier was
or.
Her whole manner was changed. She
'oaxed the little dog to her side and fol.
led her paw around him as if to thank
lim for saving her from her terrible en-
mics. You may be sure that during
he six weeks the Old Girl lived after
his the rats had bad time.

MAKING AND UsIEG MASURE--No man
is truly successful farmer who allows his
land to grow poor while he Is cultivating it.
He may make money for time and put it
In his pocket; but he docs so at the cost of
his successors. He takes something from
the soil and gives nothing in return. This
cannot be continued without beggary of
both land and occupant. Writers and
speakers tell of the inexhaustible' fer
tIlity of the West. / never hear that word
without being annoyed. We might as well
say that we can consume part and still
have the whole; not only that, but keep
on doing 80 for an indefinite term of years,
and still have the whole remain to US.
This mistaken idea of an inexhaustible
soil has already cost the West a great sum
of money, and will inevitably cost many
millions more. Much has already been
done to put an end to this ruInous system
of forever taking from the soil and putting
nothing back. Much remains still to be
done
