blacksmith shop and the Episcopal church.

which, last reports state, are still burning.

Democratic Di.cord i'm ohio.

CINCINNATI, o., Sept. 8-A convention, rep
resenting those Democrats who are dissatisfied
with the methods of nomination at the late
county convention, met this morning at Col
lege Hall. About so delegates are present.
e. W. Kittredge, who was elected Chairman,
said that one of the principal objects Of this
movement is to afford citizens q vote in the
selection of candidates instead OF having the
whole work done by fraud and violence. The
resolutions adopted by the convention demand
reforms in the municipal and county govern
ments, honest primary elections, and oppost-
tion to boss rule. An entire new ticket WAS
nominated.

The TurntP Crop.
T.p>-ro nh

Germantown Telegraph
At this season of the year, when the
time is approaching when We are to think
of providing the ground for the
the turnip crop, we like to say something
on the subject. 1t is too carly to SOW
vet, but it is not too early to set apart the
field intended for the crop. The va
rieties generally sown are the Early Flat
Dutch, the Purple Top, the Bloomsdale
Pomeranian Globe, or the Yellow Abcr-
deem. For commercial purposes, 1t IS rare
that turnips can be raised to much profit
unless one is in the regular market garden
ing business. They cannot be put IN as
regular farm crop, to be taken to market
by farmers, and yet make as much of them
AZ can be done on potatoes and yet it is SO
useful vegetable for home use among
cattle, that turnip patch is extremel "
satisfactory in everybody's ground.
There has not been much improvement in
the turnip for many years, and hence
there is no great choice OF varieties. Fer
haps the kind we have arc good enough,
and may be regarded as at least among
the best. In most other 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 if one
can SOW turnip seed the middle or end of
August and pull in October, it is sufficient
to satisfy the earliest Iongings. 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 earlness and flavor. The right kind
of rich ground will make a .urnip bulb In
an incredibly shoit space of time and the
root in such cases becomes SO tender and
sweet that some will eat them raw as
readily almost as they would eat AT apple.
The right kind of manure is that which
is thoroughly we'll ldecOmposed. Ii fresh
stable manure is employed for the turnip,
we get an enormous growth of foliage aud
small growth of root. In many plants
the sign of good root is abundant foliage
bnt not in the turnip by any means A
moderate top growth is much more favor.
able to good root than otherwise. IN
England. where the turnip is universally
raised, bone dust is the great popular
fertilizer for the turnip. Here we find
that a piece of ground heavily manured
for some spring crop, and which has been
taken off in time, is in better condition
for a good crop of turnips than the best
manure Immediately applied at sowing
time. Where it can be made to suit,
there is nothing SO good preparer for
turnips as the potato.
There is one thing worth remembering
that is, that the turnip is grea. exhaus.
ter of the soil. Many persons. who find
at this season that they have little pieces
of ground with nothing in it, think that az
the turnip comes in SO soon they may as
we'll have something as nothing from it
This is all very we'll if the turnips are
really wanted, and can certainly be turned
to good account. But if otherwise, they
will not "pay for their feed" and it ii
much better to be without them.

The Turner Hall Concert.

The concert last evening at this popular
concert hall was crusher. At an early
hour all the seats were occupied and as
many chairs were brought in and distrib
uted around as the space would permit. A
great many were compelled to go away for
the reason that they could not get seats.
The building was packed clear up to the
last seat in the gallery. The orchestra had
added to it the members of Bach's Milwau-
kee orchestra.who are in st. Paul, making
q very excellent and very good sized
body of musicians. Of course the
concert was very superior one. The or
chestra showed, however, here and there
the lack of adequate rehearsals, especially
in the Lohengrin selection, which is very
difficult. The defects were not glaring by
any means, but one or two rehearsals
would have obviated them. Of course there
was not time for rehearsals, as the must
clans have had their hands full all the
week. There is no particular reason for
mentioning the selections separately. II
was grand concert all through, and de-
lighted the vast audience which applauded
all the time. This is the last concert OF
the series, and was very fitting close to
The concert season. In two weeks from
last night the orchestra will give a benefit
concert for itself, for which extra prepare
lions are being made, at which Miss Marie
Geist will give piano concerto with or
chestral accompaniment.
