What May Be Done In July.

Excepting rutabaga turnlps and some
garden vegetables, July is not favor
able time to plant any original crops.
1t is between the two seasons. 1t is
time to talk and write about sowing
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 a bnshel of potatoes,
and the latter are worth twice as much.
Still it is very well to have plenty of
turnips for the table and some for the
COWS. Prepare the land by repeated
deep and close plowings-cow-pe nned
land the best-and SOW in two-foot
drills about July 20 to August l. Pre-
cisely the same character and richness
of soil and preparation necessary for
rutabagas suits lucerne also. If the
rutabagas fail SOW in lucerne in Sep
TENDER or October. Now, we expect
somebody will pounce upon us as
teaching MISUNDERSTANDING from
the faith-in writing so disparagingly
about turnips as a stock-food crop in
the South. Our reply is that it is one
of those imported English ideas that
will not stand our climate.

Indeed, she does. Your dream, or

SO far as it related to her was perfectly

Advice to Young Horse Trainers.

John Splan gives the following ad-
vice to your trainers: IF Twas going
to advise boy on the subject I would
say first he must have a natural love
for the horse in his character, and
then the determination to learn, and
the harder he applies himself the bet
ter for him. The younger he COM
mences the BETTER and to be an expert
he wants to commence at "the lower
round of the ladder. that is, to groom
and properly care for horse. While
this part of his education is going on
he must not neglect his school
books 1t is not necessary
that he should have college course,
but it is absolutely necessary for his
success that he should have good
business education. An education will
help him to expand his mind and teach
him to think, and l know of no profess
sion that requires more thinking than
to train large stable full OF horses
