Marketing Turnips.

If farmers have patience to do some
peddling, they can find a market for
either white or yellow turnips in al
most every city or village family. 1t
is best in selling turnips to have some
of each, the white or purple strap
leafed for early use and the yellow
varieties for later in the winter. \
large wagon load is easily disposed Of
at 80 cents per bushel, and If each
family takes only a bushel of each va
riety it does not require a long drive
to dispose Of the whole. The profit Of
an acre Of turnips sold thus is much
more than farmers get for most crops,
and the work of marketing Is fairly
well paid, considering that it is mostly
done when mer and teams would 9th

is apparent. Old farmers have often
told us that II plaster was not sown
on clover until after spring rains, It
did little good the first year, but was
beneficial after another winter and
spring had passed, and had settled the
plaster into the soil. There is, perhaps,
a slight benefit from sowing plaster on
clover when in full leaf, but it should
be additional to an application made
early in the spring, when it will do
most good.

Yellow Italians Are Vicious.

There seems to be a sort Of impress
sion among the farmers in our own
vicinity that extra yellow bees must
be extra pure Italians. Judging by
the way the orders have run for the
yellow stock the impression must be
general, but every practical queen
breeder knows that it is a mistake
The five-banders are simply sports,
selected for color from Italian stock,
mat is all; and by the way some Of
them sting it would almost seem as if
they had "sported" little from Cypri-
an stock. We have quite a large num-
Der Of colonies of extra yellow bees
IN our yard, and our apiary has never

Tiyaled in all the qualities which con-

to which it combines the quality of

Ing, retaining its high flavor to the
last"
In the early apple history Of this
country the NewtOwn pippin was
prominent. 1t originated at Newtown,
OH Long Island, and its merits soon
spread its cultivation. 1t was especial
ly successful on the hillsides along the
Hudson River, and for many years
large quantities were grown there and
annually shipped to Europe. Later it
spread all over the country, but it
found few places which were congo
NAL. To-day it is but very little grown
outside of the mountainous regions of
West Virginia, where 1t is famous to-
day as the Albemarle pippin. Scab
and insects, coupled with the general
decline Of orchards by reason of want
Of proper care, fertilizing, etc, have
practically driven it out of cultivation.

At the Columbian Exposition in Chi
cagO in 1898. New South Wales ex-
hibited some very fine apples under the
name Of Five-CrOwned pippin. Fruit
experts were puzzled by it at first, but
after a careful study became pretty
well convinced that this, too, was our
old friend the Newtown pippin, modi-
fled by the soil of Australia and the
breezes Of the Pacific. In West Vir-
sfnia it was formerly supposed that the
Albemarle was distinct variety, but
the consensus Of opinion among hor-
Gculturists now Is that it is only the
NewtOwn pippin. In Rockland County,
New York, the same apple is grown,
and is there generally called the Win
ter pippin.
