THE ROOT CROP.
Some OF the Secrets of Growing Roots In
Profitable Manner.

Some OF the Secrets of Growing Roots In
Profitable Manner. y
There is nothing much more valuable
In connection with hay and ensilage for
feeding than good crop of turnips or
mangold wurzels,e and it has been
demonstrated that they can be grown
for the low price of about six cents per
bushel Besides, the leaves Of these
crops in the fall for feeding, when sowed
corn is gone and it is not desired to turn
stock into meadows, are very valuable.
A correspondent of Country Gentleman
says: "One of the first things and the
most injurious in the way of raising these
crops is the trouble from weeds. This
can be remedied usually, best in the fall
before; pillow your land early, or if it has
been planted the year before, a good
cultivating perhaps will do; harrow it
down finely; this gives fine seed bed,
and in short time all of the weed seeds
will start to grow. Then harrow again
and kill them all, and by the time they
start second time and get a good har-
rowing and are exposed during the
winter there will not be many of them
left.
"Good manure Of course is necessity
for growing good root crop. If barn
yard dung is used, and is coarse, should
pillow it under, but if it was well rotted
it would probably be best to cultivate it
in on top. But it sometimes occurs that
farmers have not sufficient barnyard
dung. When this is the case what to
rely on is superphosphate, and this
should be put on in the drills at from
800 to 1000 pounds to the acre. The
roots should be sowed in drills at 25S
feet apart. A very important thing
about sowing, and one about which
good many make mistake, is this; In
seasons when the ground is dry they go
on and work it, and in this way it be-
comes dried out. A streak of this dry
ground will become covered over with
this moist soil, the seeds are then sown,
they terminate, their roots come in con-
tact with this dry earth, it does not rain,
and they refuse to grow. Now if the
farmer after working his soil had waited
two weeks or SO, this dry ground by
capillary attraction would become damp
from the moisture underneath. Then if
he had sowed his fine seed upon this
moist seed bed he would have had good
crop.
CATER the seed is sown most of the
work can be done by cultivator, except
for men passing through the rows and
cutting out the distances between the
plants to about fifteen inches, and finally
wedding. If we'll cultivated and the soil.
good, the crop might reasonably be ex-
peated to yield from 800 to 1000 bushels
to the acre, whichis easily harvested. The
common rutabaga or Swedish turnip is
the best for winter use, and should be
sown earliest. The white or yellow tur-
nips are sown next, but used first, as the
former is the better keeper.
ssThere are several varieties of mangold
wurzels-long, red and yellow, and the
red and yellow globes. l consider the
globes the best, as they are the hardest.
and also more nutritious. The mangolds
should be sown early, as soon as the
ground is in proper condition. About
two pounds of rutabaga seed will an

Tied Face to Face with a Corpse.

New YORK, Feb. 1S.-A Santiago
Chile letter, dated Jan. %, says: "a
number of those political prisoners have
been confined at Quillota, "a small town
near Valparaiso, and a soldier who was
on dutuy there was murdered. A pris-
oner who was formerly an officer in Bal
maceda's army was accused by some
congressional sympathizer of killing the
soldier.
There appears to have been no evil
dence against him beyond this, but he
was selected to pay the penalty of the
soldiers death. The dead body of the
soldier and prisoner were tied together
face to face, for twenty-four hours, and
at the end of that time the prisoner was
taken into the Jail yard, shot and
killed.

SIMPSONS MOVEMENTS.
Things Slightly Mixed in Regard to Hi
Reported Disappearance.


DALLAS, Feb. 1S.-The following tele
gram appears in the St. Louis Repub
lie. The Dallas Times Herald has re.
ceived later dispatch from Colonel
Simpson at Hot Springs saying he will
be home ON first train:
DALLAS, Feb. 1S.-Where is j. B.
Simpson? This is the question that every.
one is asking at present. Colonel j. B.
Simpson, well known throughout the
south, and Texas especially, who has
been at the head of dozen business
firms in Dallas, is absent, and numbers
of creditors and people who have been
duped are looking for him. The grand
jury, it is reported, have found several
indictments against him, and the air is
filled with rumors of crooked tranSac-
tons. A rumor was circulated that he
had committed suicide at Hot Springs,
Ark, where he had gone for his health,
but your correspondent learned from
one of the largest creditors that Simp-
son was on the ocean en- route either to
Europe or South America. A year ago
prudent business men predicted that
Simpson was going too fast and would
come to an abrupt end. His career has
been so glittering and his crash so sud
den and 50 complete that his sudden
flight is regarded as a mystery. the solu-
ton of which is bound to implicate him
to such an extent as to exile him from
this country.
1t is estimated that he got away with
at least $500, 900 in cool cash.
