The Turnip Crop.

American Agricultural.
No crop makes better returns for
labor bestowed than turnips. The
seed may be sowed any time from the
first of June throughout August, in
many localities below the isotherHal
of say the north line of Connecticut.
1t may be sowed broadcast, in drills
or rows, or as "cattle CROP" among
corn or turnips may be used to seed
grass with, sowing both the turnip
and grass seed about August lst.
For turnips alone the preparation Of
the ground is simple. 1t needs good
plowing and narrowing if in fair
heart but dressing Of 400 pounds
of bone dust or 250 pounds Of super
phosphate to the acre will almost in
sure good crop. We rarely have
such dry weather that turnips will
not start in July, and soon as they
make leaf heavy dews seem to be
enough to keep them growing, but
last year was an exception in this
part of the country. In many fields
turnip seed on dry ground did not
germinate, or at least did not make
any show above ground.
In sowing turnips broadcast the
greatest care must be taken to have
them thin enough. a pound of seed
to the acre is all that should be SOW
ed, and this should be divided, the
whole piece being sowed twice at
right angles. In Europe the seeds
men use old seed baked, or baked
rape seed, to mix with turnip seed as
an adulteration. If we could buy
here such old baked seed so as to
mix it ourselves-say five pounds of
baked with one of live seed, and thus
be able to make fair cast, instead Of
throwing little pinches of seed as we
now do, it would save good deal of
trouble. Sowed in drills, turnips
must be thinned. Much rank manure
gives it a strong, bad flavor. Turnips
ought never to have the first char C
at a dressing of yard or stable ma
nure, but to come as second crop
AS to varieties, there are two widely
different classes, and intermediate
varieties without number which it is
hard to classify. Swedish OF Rus
sian turnips, generally known as
"Ruta- bagas" or "Swedes," are
very distinct, hard-heshed, glossy
leaved kind, occurring in many Va,
rieties, that need better soil, earlier
sowing and better culture than the
soft-neshed or English turnip, which
is rough-leaved, grows most rapidly,
is voracous feeder, doing well and
making a bulky watery crop where
Swedes would do very little, and yet
it is a question whether the small
crop of Swedes would not contain
nearly as much nutriment as the soft
turnips. Between these two eX-
tremes of hard-neshed and soft-aesh-
ed kinds are many varieties partak-
log in measure of the hard-heshed
character of the Swedes, but gener-
ally regarded and treated as belong
ing to the common or English species.
Such are the "Yellow globe "Yel-
low-stone," DUTCH" etc. As rule
it is best to SOW Swedes as early as
the first of July, the "Globe" and
"Stone" turhips as early as the 25th,
and the soft turnips, "Strap-leafed
flat" "Cow-horn," etc, by the 10th
of August. The last named is the
best to seed down to grass with, and
on good soil, not clayey, turnips and
clover seed may be mixed together,
using about s. pounds OF clover seed,

to one thousand per cent. This is no
exaggeration, as may be seen from
the fact that it now costs the farmer
as much to haul bushel of grain

Sulphur in the Pig Pen.

If there is any appearance of lice
or vermin of any kind, sprinkle sui
phur in small quantities over the bed
ding. This, when the nest becomes
warm, rises in fumes, and will quick
ly drive out every manner of vermin,
and besides it is very healthy-enter-
ing through the pores of the skin it
cleanses the blood. A little of it
placed in the slop occasionally will
do more to keep away cholera and
like diseases than anything you buy
for five and ten dollars. The trouble
is the remedy and preventive is far
too simple and cheap.

TURNIP seed sowing is in order at
any time for the next two OF three
weeks. This is very cheap crop,
and one Of no inconsiderable value
for fall and early winter feeding. If
the corn ground happens to be on
good bottom land, and is kept as
clean as it should he, it is an excel
lent plan to sow the turnip seed
aUoag the corn at the last cultivat.
ing. \ crop of several tons per
acre may hc realized without the
least danger to the corn, and with no
expense except that of harvesting.
One of the essentials Of success is
that the seed should he sown immcdi-
ateiy after the cultivator, before the
ground has had time to settle.

A FIRM, well-compacted bottom,
with mellow, thoroughly, fined sur
face, constitute the proper mechanical
conditions of soil for a seed-bed for
wheat. This condition is easily and
thoroughly secured by early ploMng,
and frequently repeated harrowings.
A very important incidental advan-
tage derived from this course is the
destruction Of myriads of weed seeds.

The last fatal prize fight that took
place in England was the encounter be-

at Wishaw, on the 7th Of October, 1881.
This unfortunate bout at fisticaffs ended
in a six months sentence for Carney,
who stood his trial for manslaughter.
The accessories to the "mill'-that is,
those who could be caught-were also
incarcerated. The last fatal fight in this
country took place August 26th at San
clieta, CAL, it was between Chos. Dram,
an Englishman, of San Francisco, and
Geo. Emerson, Of Boston, for $3.50 a
side. Seven rounds were fought in 55
minutes, Emerson forced the fighting
from the start, and gained first blood and
first knockdown in the 2nd round. In
the 7th round Emerson followed Dram
all over the ring, and punished him fear
fully, Dram finally going down in a heap
in his own corner. When time was
called for the 9th round Dram was insen
sible and died in few minutes.
This Dram is undoubtedly relative
of Con Dram, who was once the mid

crossed the Alabama line. A ring was
pitched, seconds were chosen, and the
two combatants entered the inclosure.
Both women wore short dresses with
ont waists, the upper part Of the body
being covered with knit shirt. Miss
Stile is much the larger Of the two, but
her flesh looked aabby. Miss Morwiu's
muscles seemed firm m hard, and she
was looked on as winnner. On time

brought forth the crimson fluid. Miss
Stile returned the compliment with a
body blow that fairly staggered the
Morwin girl. There was arapid exchange
of blows and when the round was flu
ished both girls had received terrible
punishment.
When the second round was called
Miss Stile came up smiling, but Miss
Morwin was unsteady. Still she sent q
left-hand blow on Stiles cheek which
