A MATTER of selection: Charles Lever
tells of an Irishman who, while wheel
of stage coach was passing over him,
cried out, whats this for?" We know
of an Arkansaw man who was equally
self-possessed. While standing IN sa-
loon, where a party of convivialists had
gathered, pistol belonging to one of
the party was accidentally discharged.
The Arkansaw man fell, shot through
the body. BLAMED If L understand
this p' he exclaimed. ''Why the devil
that pistol should select me when older
men are present is beyond my mental
research"

ORANGE county, n. Y, farmers say that
the COW has teen more profitable with them
than the fast horse. A very few fast trot
tiers have brought much money into the
county, but has usually gone to second
hand buyers rather than growers of the
stock. The good dairy COW brought her
income into the pocket of the farmer.

AGRICULTURE.

TURSIPs AS FARM CRoP.-Nery Few o.
the farmers of This country appreciate the
value of turnIps az a farm crop. Some
chemists estimate them to contain ninety
five per een.- of water, lesving only five
per cent. of flesh forming material; and
out OF this small portion they deduct pcr-
tion as woody fibre, only good to help fill
UP the stomach of an animal. | am NOT
prepared to dispute the correctness OF this
analysis, but do take issue with the con-
clusions that turnips have no greater value
as food than may be indicated by the
chemists figures. Turnips have possibly
a mechanical value. as they may aid ID
the digestion of more concentrated food,
such as corn meal, when fed with il. Per-
haps the fault is TO be found in the fact
that the s5 per cent. OF water is put down
as worthless. In the economy of nature
this very water may prove of more impor-
tance than has been ascribed to It. l have
found that raw turnlps will not only sus-
tam life, but cause hogs 10 thrive when
fed nothing else. / do not mean when
fed large quantity, but an amount, which
according TO the chemists tables. would be
such small per cent OF the actual food
that starvation would be expected. Sheep
and cattle will fatten on them, with very
little hay. The credit cannot be put down
to the bay, but must be carried over 10 the
turnIps. Ii | understand the British sys-
TEN Of Il akiDg mutton, it is manly, and
sometimes entirely, by the use OF turnlps.
The sheep are confined by hurdles on the
turDips, where they help themselves, until
the crop within the inclosure is exhausted,
when they are moved TO fresh lot. Know
ing the real value of turnips, and how ca
silly they may be converted into meat, why
should not the American farmer avail him
self of the opportunity, and not rely so ex-
cluslye;y Upon corni Every farmer should
have turnlp patch, the larger the better.
The crop can always be made supplement
tary to another on the farm, and is so
much clear gam.

An eminent authority on illuminating
gas, Mr.. Sugg, insists that some point of
great importance IN the construction OF q
gas-burner is that the gas should not be
heated until 1t arrives at the point of Igni-
ton. The body of the chamber below that
poIut must, therefore, be made Of mate
rial which Is a bad conductor of heat TO
prevent an undue expansion OF the gas and
maintain the heat of the flame.

THE close housing of sheep is about in
order, and many shepherds, who are care
ful not TO expose their flocks to the rains
ana snow are doing something which is
perhaps worse, by letting the manure ac-
cImuIate IN the houses. Cleanliness is
an essential element in the management of
any kind of live stock, but the filth and
the heat arising from manure are certaiuly
injurious to sheep, they being naturally a
cleanly class or stock.

What is the Mattor.

a large number of creditors of the County were
again disappointed and put 10 much iuconve.

duc,ion from their face.
This cry of "no report from tho Treasurer"
is becoming incouvcnicntly monotonous to those
who hold claims against the County, many OF
whom travel from ten to twenty miles and return
home with nothing in their pockets and that cry
ringing in their ears.

were closed. The old Treasurer has male his
final settlement with the Comptroller General
