The Turnip Crop.

Ruta Bagas are the most valuable of all turnips, and though we have known a good crop to be made not far from New York city, from seed sown as late as the middle of this month, 1t is better to SOW in June. If from any cause one has omitted sowing turnips until now, he can either risk late sowing of Ruta Bagas, or SOW those which, like the Aberdeen, will mature in a short time. As the chances, in good season, are in favor of making fair crop of Ruta Bagas, if sown early in this month, it will be good management to SOW both these and tue intermediate kinds, like the Aberdeen. The crop may be greatly hastened by a thorough prep aration of the soil. The best cultiya- tors SOW on manured ridges. The land is thrown up into ridges thirty inches apart, the manure, the finer the better, is placed in the furrows, and then, using double mould-board blow, the ridges are split and the soil thrown upon the hhohuAOB hohAh6 hCN iiubNo tNSA 'N' The seed is drilled in upon these ridges, using two pounds to the acre. If the black-fy, or beetle, is abundant, use more seed. When the plants are Gin the rough," that is, have made leaves beyond the seed-leaves, they should be hood and thinned. The usual method is to cut across the rows with a sharp hoe, leaving bunch of plants at every ten or twelve inches, and then 80 over again and remove all but the strongest plant. After the thinning, the spaces between the rows must be kept clear of weeds by the use of the cultivator, aided by the hand-hoe near the plants. The varieties of Ruta Baga are numerous, and other things being equal, those the form of which is most nearly globnlar are to be preferred. Those who grow turnips large, raise their own seed, and thus secure a strain suited to their land. The Aberdeen and Yellowstone may be sown any time up to August 1st; they are excellent for feeding and for the table, but do not keep so well as the Ruta Bagas. In preparing the land for turnips, a dressing of three hundred pounds to the acre of good superphos- phate, will be profitable application. The soil must be rich and mellow for turnips. s.-DR. THURBER, in American | AgYicusturist for July.

The Wealth Of Trinity.


 CT believe" raid a down town roal estate man. "s2OO, GOO. 900 would about cover the actual wealth of the Trinity Church corporation. It is certainly as rich as tho vandcrbilts, and has steadier line of profit. Besides tho im- mense rents coming in from property in New York city, the church corporation holds mortgages by several hundred Episcopal Church edihces all over the country, on which there is m average of 2 per cent. interest. payable quarterly. The fund is under the control of Board of Trustees, selected from the yestrymen of old Trinity and st Paul's, and fl you think they give money away, or handle fhe revenue on benevolent gospel prin- ciples, go and try 10 negotiate loan. They will tie you mp with iron bands and make you come to time like sher- iff. They keep it in the family, because it's too good thing to let go. All the trustees get rich"

What Caused a Disaster.

The explosion in the Pocahontas Mine in Southwest Virginia, by which so many men lost their lives, is now attributed to the presence of great deal of fine coal and coal dust on the floors of the mine. This dust mingled with air constitutes an explosive mixture which can be fired by the approach of flame of any kind. In the Pocahontas mine, where this dust was very abundant, there was no lack ol opportunities for the introduction oI flame, as it was customary to use a greai deal of powder in blasting out the coal. Some of the powder was undoubtedly wasted by the inexperienced miners and mingled with the fine coal, thus adding to the danger. A locomotive with ar open fire was also being constantly run into the mine. It is considered certain that there was no fire damp.

IN SuRaERY.-The hanging of a Cali fornia murderer was useful to the sci ence of surgery. His arm had been fractured a week before in an effort to escape. After death it was found that the initial process of healing had begun, and that this was effected by the organ ization of the blood which was poured out around the break at the time of the injury. This held the bones in place and proves what was not known before, that prompt adjustment in fracture is essential.
