What May Be Done In July.

Excepting rutabaga turnips and some
garden vegetables, July is not a favor

turnips. but except on a small scale,
and chiefly for table use, we do not adj
wise turnips. We have tried rutabagas
and other turnips, and beets for stock,
and the result of our experiments is
that for a period of ten years together
it will cost more to produce bushel
of turnips than bushel of potatoes,
and the latter are worth twice as much.
Still it is very we'll to have plenty of
turnips for the table and some for the

deep and close plowings -cow-penned

rutabagas suits lucerne also. If the
rutabagas fail SOW in lucerne in Sep.

somebody will pounce upon us a:

the faith-in writing so disparagingly
about turnips as stock-food crop in

Utilizing Surplus Fruit.

Farmers as we'll as professional
Orchardists ought to make prepare
tions to get the greatest value possible
out of the abundant fruit crop. The
means of utilizing the surplus fruit
most available to the farm is feeding
to stock and drying or evaporating.
OF course every wide-awake farmer
will give his hogs adj the fallen, partly
decayed and otherwise worthless fruit.
But after marketing to the extent that
may be practicable the fresh, ripe
fruit, drying or evaporating must be
resorted to- Evaporated fruit always
commands higher prices than the Or
binary sun-dried, and every one should
procure or make cheap evaporation if
possible. The best cheap driers for
sun-drying are made as follows, using
for the frame light strips of plank one
and half inches wide by one inch

extent to which the Danish butter in

Mr. Samuel Ho are, M. p, who has re-
Gently been through Denmark and

livering the skim milk, eighty per
cent. of which they get in turn, at a
cost of Is cents per 100 pounds. In
one instance the factory paid the
farmer Is cents per 100 pounds for his
milk, but at the end OF the season he
participates in the profits, which
are divided. In the case quoted the
profit amounted to IS. I'd. per 100 gal
Ions, this sum largely augmenting the
price, a very poor one certainly,
which the farmers receive. The ma
iority OF these people are in very
small way OF business, keeping from
four to forty cows. Many own their
land, others pay from $500 to $500
per acre. There are instances in which
four-acre farmers manage to keep
three cows, each COW getting half a
ton of cake and bran per annum in adj

Peanuts and Chufas, Etc.

Several farmers have insisted thtt
the best time and place to plant Span
ish peanuts, or chufas. is after small
grain harvest on stubble land. We
have no doubt that it is good idea,
but it is by no means wise to rely main
ly on a crop of field peas. peanuts, or
any thing else to be planted on stubble
land. 1t is good policy to have always
a surplus of seed of these crops as well
as of sorghum, buckwheat, ETC., that
we may plant according to circnm-
stances. 1t is frequently the case that
stubble land can not be got into condi-
ton to plant any thing until too late.

planted until July 1; field peas little
later Qor forage). Southern Guilt

SIMS-EDISON TORPEDO.
Speed of Over Twenty Miles an Hour A
talncd Not Long Ago.

taIncd Not Long Ago.
A trial run of the latest improved
Sims Edison electric torpedo was made
at Willett's Point recently in the pres
ence of Captain Roessler and a number
of officers of the regular army stationed
at the point. The torpedo used is SINH
lar in construction to those manufac-
tured by the Sims Edison Company,
which were adopted by the Government
some years ago, the improvement being
an increase of speed from ten miles an
hour to from eighteen to twenty-five
miles. This result has been attained
by making the lines of the hull of the
float much finer and by an increase OF
the moter power, with improved cable.
Heretofore the highest average rate of
speed attained was 1904 miles an hour.
To-day in run of over 800 feet the
speed was at the rate Of fraction over
twenty-one miles an hour, the time
elapsed being twenty-five seconds. The
current which was sent through the
cable during the 800 feet run registered
900 volts and 25 amperes, equal to 80
horse power. The thirty-inch screw
made about 900 revolutions minute.
Although the short trial was satisfac-
tory as showing that the desired in
crease of speed had been attained and
that fears of Interference with the
proper steering of the vessel by reason
OF the high current used in driving
were groundless, another trial will be
made at an early date, when repre-
sentatives of the English and French
governments and probably Secretary of
the Navy Tracy and Secretary OF War
Proctor will represent. The improved
torpedo is thirty-one feet long and
twenty inches in diameter, and weighs
5000 pounds. 1t has screw propeller
and rudder, the former being at the
stern and the latter on the back few
feet from the stern. The hull is sup
ported at submerged depth by an
indestructible float, which, like the
hull, is entirely of copper, and is at
tached to the hull by an upright steel
stauchion and steel blades. which run
at sharp angles, connecting the hull
and float both at bow and stern, whioh
enable it to dive under any Instructions

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
About the Cotton Fields.


1t is safe to assume that cotton Is
small; much behind the usual stage OF
development, especially in point OF
size. 1t is all important, t1refore,
that the crop should receive regular
and careful attention. Adopt the one
furrow system, now, IL not already
adopted and approved. What the
crop needs is that no crust be permit
ted to form on the surface. To pre-
vent this, let the plows with wide ex-
tending sweeps or heel-scrapes, or bet
ter still, good cultivator, 60 over the
crop as often as once every week or
ten days. II we could time the rains,
that is, have them to fall at will, we
would have a good rain of not less
than one inch to fall every Saturday
night during the month of July; start
the plows Monday morning and go
over the crop in three days, and one
time to the row. But as no man may
control the clouds and the rains, hap
PLY for the great majority, we must
endeavor to adapt our efforts to the
circumstances. A crust on the sur
face, however, should never be per-
mitted to form and remain, If practical
BILE to prevent it.
The question has often been debated
whether blowing should be repeated in
dry weather without a rain interven-
ing. Some farmers believe in "plow-
ing up" the moisture during drought.
We think the moisture in such time
had better remain where it is, down
among and below the roots of the crop.
Bringing up the moist soil from be-
low will certainly facilitate the evap
Grafton and loss of its moisture. Bet.
ter cover up the surface of the land
and the subjacent roots of the plants
with something that will protect then
from too fervent heat of the sun, and
prevent evaporation of moisture a.
much as possible We mulch Irisf
potatoes, and other crops covering bu
small area, with straw or leaves
from the forest. This expedient il
manfiestly impracticable on extensive
fields, but we can cover the latte
with loose soil, which is much NOR,
cheaply applied if not altogether 81
effective. This is the whole rationale
of the effect of surface culture of tn,
crop in dry weather. In a crop of an.
kind the surface should be stirred a
quickly after good rain as may b
safely done. The roots should b
forced, if necessary, to remain in tn
substratum of the surface soil. South

fortunately for horse-trainers, there
