Pussley or Purslane.

With the hot days comes the weed,
which calls for active and thorough
work. Those who are particular as to
their speech, call it purslane, but every
gardner knows it as "pussley." The
weeds of earlier months could be kept
in subsection, when small, merely by
the use of rake when uprooted, they
would shrivel and die. Give pussley
this treatment and it does not die at all,
but takes root anew, and thrives all
the better for the training. Nothing
but hoeing up and carting off will an.
swer. Though such pest, it has its
uses. Pigs are fond Of, and will thrive
upon it, and it is excellent green food
for poultry. Indeed it is not to be
despised as table Vegetable, when
cooked and dressed like peas, with
milk and butter. Did it not force
itself upon us, we should no doubt cul.
tiYate it with as much care as do the
French gardeners, who, besides the
common form, have three distinct va
rieties, the "Green," the Golden" and
the "Large-leaved" Pourpier, which is
the French for "Pussley." American

Fighting Dry Weather.

E. w. C. in New England Farmer.
AS the season is again upon us for
planting, perhaps a little experience
in combating the effect of the long.con.
tinued drought of last summer, may be
of value to some of our readers. Last
spring, | set out about two acres of
small fruit, planting vegetables be-
tween the rows. About this time my
attention was called to an article in a
California paper, advocating mulching,
using the earth as a mulch, in place of
the system of irrigation there in use.
The theory advanced by the writer,
was, that the suns rays requireda solid
or closely connected body through
which to absorb moisture from the
earth, and that if the surface of the
ground was pulverized to a depth of a
few inches, the power OF the sun to draw
up the moisture from below this, would
cease. This finely sub-divided earth
also serves to absorb all the dew and
retain its beneficial effects much lon
ger than if the ground were hard.
Acting on this theory, l kept my
cultivator at work three and four times
week, keeping he'gromd broken up
as fine as an ash heap, and though my
land is naturally very dry, there was
no time during the season when the
removal of two inches of this fine dust
would not show damp, brown earth
underneath, and while some of my
neighbors were obliged to cut their
com for fodder, not getting back their
seed, even, the growth of my trees,
bushes and vegetables continued fine
throughout the entire season.

Turnips.

If you want to be sure of good crop
of turnips this fall, commence your
preparations now. Select, if possible,
a new peice of land, or old grass land
and pillow up deep, taking care that the
sod is well turned under; harrow 50
as to get packed as much as possible,
and then let it lie. 1t is an old saying
among turnip-raisers, that blowing land
twice during the spring and summer
makes sure turnip crop, Before
harvest, or sometimes the first ofJune,
plow again, and, if possible, pillow cross
wise, then harrow again. You can
harrow again every two or three weeks
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1883-06-30

until time for sowing the seed, which
should be done by the last of July.
Sow Immediately after rain, and brush
in the seed. Some prefer to let the
seed lie upon the ground, but | prefer
dragging brush over the ground cover
ing the seed slightly. The land should
be as clear from weeds as possible, and
to obtain this condition is why believe
in blowing early ard cultivating or
narrowing to keep the ground clean.
it is very hard to SOW the seed thin
enough and evenly, without mixing
t hem with ashes or some
thing else to increase the bulk. | like
to mix winter radishes and SOW at the
same time, as find them quite an ad-
dition in the fall.
If possible, select rather low or moist
land for turnips. Of two patches that
| sowed last year, one on high ridge
land, rich enough for good corn, and
the other on low, moist plat of new
land, plowed twice and well narrowed;
that on high ground gave me a crop
too small to pull, while the other plat
yielded me fine crop of large, crisp
turnips. j. SHEPHERD In Prairie

Charcoal has considerable manurial
value, especially if applied on rich
ground, the amonia of which it absorbs
and gives out as the plant roots re-
quire. 1t also improves the mechani-
cal texture of the soil whether light or
heavy, and its dark color holds the heat
from the sun, making the land warm
and early. The remains of old char
coal pits always makes the best land
in the field for many years thereafter.

Bait for Trout and Black Bass.

l speak from the experience of thirty
years, and never saw anything to equal
it. Take the neck and head ofspeckled
and red fowl; cut the neck off down
to the breast, and save the skin with
the feathers on. Do not remove them
until you want to bait your hook then
cut strip like worm and remove the
feathers, but do not remove the little
bright, glistening hairs. When on the
hook it is a most enticing bait,-[Geo.

what allied her husband. She however,

in passing asked the state of the fami-

The three gigantic evils of civilized
man are scrofula, chronic rheumatism,
and neuralgia. Edward Wilder's Sar,
saparilla and Potash cures and eradi-
Gates all these. The combination
which, by his process, is made between
these two reliable medicines, is one
rarely attained, but which brings out
their most useful properties. They
clean the entire glandular system, they
purify the blood whose impurity is at
the source of all these Affections, they
increase and render all the secretions
healthy. Numberless testimonials pour
upon him for their wonderfully resto-
rative and strengthening effects from
sufferers who have been benefited by
this wonderful medicine. We need
not say that in cases of mercurial faint
its effects are magical, for it removes all
the bad blood, and reinvigorates the
constitution by making it pure, and
clean, and fresh.
