fiost Useful OF Inventions.

The question of which is the most
useful invention, has sometimes been
raised and debated in school societies.
There is really no question, but it is
good mental exercise to think over, and
talk on the theme. Printing so far ex-
tends beyond aud towers above all other
inventions which help the world along,
that no comparison can be made with it.
II stands alone as mental luminarS aud
a moral beacon, and there is no nook or
corner OF the known world into which
its light has not penetrated. Wherever
it shines, civilization springs as natural
growth of the enlightened mind, and
produces fruit in harmony with the ex-
ternal conditions. The products may
differ IN kind and quality, but they all
have the certain flavor Of culture. They
arc such as the soil is capable of produc-
ing under the best cultivation that can
possibly be applied to it, aud often the
tillage is more honorei by the product
than is the soil. In this sense the art of
printing is a creator Of new worlds, aud
the preservor and benefactor OF its own
evolutions. Out OF the stones in the
quarries, metals in the mines, and trees
in the forests, men make new creations
of forms, and in the same sense men
make new creations of mind from types
Of their own invention, and upon these
types new creation OF the world.
This is the grand triumph of the art OF
printing, and in its results it immeasur-
ably oyer-tops all other arts and sciences
which embellish aud bless mankind, -

TURNIPS AS MANURE.

Upon a light, sandy soil we know Of
no better crop to grow for the purpose
of blowing under as green manure than
the common white or fat turDip. The
seed is cheap and easily put in, four or
five pounds per acre, sown broadcast,
being liberal allowance, and much less
if sown in drills. 1t will grow upon soil
where clover will not, and it is very sure
to terminate upon any land and it is not
killed by either wet or dry weather.
Compared with clover in value, seven
and a half tons Of turnips might be
grown where three tons Of clover hay
could not, and the turnips would have in
round numbers 105 pounds of nitrogen
to 11S in the clover, III pounds Of phos-
phoric acid to 1913 in the clover, and
torty-eight pounds of potash to thirty
and one-half in the clover. Or in other
words the turnips are very nearly one-half
as valuable as the clover, pound for
pound, for manurial purposes, and they
may be sOwn at any season from March
70 August, and plowed under at any
stage of growth. or not plowed under at
all. but allowed to remain until they
freeze and rot in the field, by which
process they enrich it nearly, but not
quite, as much as when plowed in
