Turnip Culture.

lustraiion Of this. in order to get them
into thorough perfection they can only
be made to reach this point when the

one can raise good turnips when the
Temperature is over % deg. or 60 deg.
and as soon as it gets beyond this they
are hot and stringy. Thus in Penn

north it would have TO be two weeks
carler. and 50 on; until in Gambia one

and yet have fairly good results. In

we can get very good turnips by rals-

During the fall blowing is the best
time to deepen the blowing. as the

the action Of freezing and thawing rain

character of the subsoil should. how

With clay, Il subsoil plow can be used

fitted more by deep stirring than deep

depth to admit OF deep blowing with
out bringing to the surface unproduc-
tive soil, will be greatly benefited by
deep blowing The character OF the
soil must always be considered in deter
mining the manner Of blowing. Often
there will be plenty Of latent fertility
in the Subsol that needs only the ac-
ton Of the air and other elements to
make it available The deeper the
soil and the larger the available supply
Of plant food the better will the soil
retain moisture and the more surely
will it grow good crops.
BY blowing this kind Of soil deep in

rived. Eut even then it may not be
best to plOw too deep ut one time. and
especially the case when shallow plOw
ing has been followed for some years
and the fertility Of the surface soil
has III a measure been exhausted.
With this class Of soils the better plan
in nearly all cases is to deepen Gradu-
ally a little at each blowing.
Better results will be secured in plow-
ing land deeper for the first time if
it is left reasonably rough. as this cx-
poses it more fully to the action OF

whether oyster shells were Of any use

II is generally known that the Or

plant foods rich in lime, such as the
clovnrs. Crushed oyster shells have
been extensively fed and with good re-
suits but it has been thought by many
that they were Of value solely az grit.
No satisfactory answer seems TO have
been made to the question and. in or
