the turnips were only fed off while
the soil was dry or the turniPs were

vantage of the plan seems to hare been
that the sheep manure was evenly dis

and as the sheep were also fed grain
the land was enriched for future crops.
But the turnips surely did not make
as much mutton as they should have
done.-American Cultivator.

A Pirate in Ind Luck.

In the way of well-defned and con-
spicuous ups and downs, few lives have
surpassed that of Bartholemy. He had
many adventures after the desperate
affair in the Bay of Campeachy, but
they must all have turned out badly for
him, and consequently very fortunately
for divers and sundry Spanish vessels;
and during the rest of his life he bore
the reputation of an unfortunate pirate
He was one of Those men whose success
seemed to have depended entirely upon
his own exertions, if there happened to
be the least chance of his doing any
thing, he generally did it. Spanish can

all were bravely met and trumphed
over by Bartholemy. Yet when it came
to ordinary good fortune, such as any
pirate might expect, Bartholemy the
Portuguese found that he had no chance
at all. But he was not common pirate,
and was, therefore, obliged to be con-
tent with his uncommon career. He
eventually settled in the island of ia
maica, but nobody knows what became
of him.-Frank r. Stockton, in st.
