.Y . Pj v t N; Success With Turnips. Turnips or nit. a bagas need a rich, ' 'ell-drained, mellow soil. It can hardly be too rich with well-rotted barn-yard manure, and if then some phosphate or bone dust is added it will like ly increase the crop. The condition of the soil, as regards moisture at the time of sowing lias much to do with 1 success. A large yield will depend very much on having an even stand all over, the field. The soil must not be too wet nor dry. In either case there will be many vacant places. If rather dry, work the land with the cultivator, roll and sow immediately all in the same day giving no opportunity for drying before the seed is in the "ground. If quite dry plow again and roll just before sowing. If sown on level ground always roll before sowing: One to two pounds of seed for aft. acre. Some prefer to ridge the land. This is done with a shovel or common plow, then put on a roller and the ridges will be llattened so as to allow the drill to be ued. It is easier hoeing tlio lirst time when ridges are made, and when thus they will not dry out more than level land. A rich soil and moist eeil bed is the best protection against the lly, as a quick growth will soon' get the plants beyond damage from its attack. The first hoping should be attended to with promptness. In this case "a stirch in time saves nine." There are few cultivated lields in this State so free from weeds as to afford the turnip-grower any respite from Adam's curse. As soon as the turnips are well up, the weeds are well up, too, and working can commence. A sharp, thin hos drawn along just beneath the surface on each side of the row will do good wo:k. Some of the new hand cultivators are fitted with teeth or small shovels so as to work close to the row. When the plants are two inches high, with a common hoe cut out its full width across the row, leaving two or three plants in a place, to stand for a few days longer. They seem to grow better when there are a few together than when singly, while they are small; but it will not do to let them stand in this way too long, or they will grow spindling and when , they are thinned to one plant it is weak and tender, and will not get to growing again for several days. The after cultivation should be frequent and thorough, especially if the weather is dry. They will not bottom much till cool weather, but if we'l worked will, by that time be ready for growth. A Kind cultivator on a sma'l plat, or in a larger field with the row? thirty inches apart, a nice light horse hoe with sharp steel teeth will do the work with a horse attached, a great saving in hand labor. Michigan Farmer An Idea Wortli Adopting, The water supply abroad is so often of a doubtful character that travelers have resorted to the prudent expedient of drinking only some well-known mineral water. Thereupon a large trade ha been done in the purchase from rag and bottle merchants of such mineral water bottles as still bore the labels in a fairly good condition. It was then easy to fill them with ordinary and possibly contaminated water, adding salt to give the taste and appearance of the desired mineral spring. By this fraud the con sumer was noc merely rouoeu but made to drink the very water he was doing his best to avoi'd. We are therefore pleased to note that in France at least the Prof cot of Police has adopted energetic measures to check this abuse. Orders have been given to visit all depots of mineral waters, to seize haphazard a specimen and analyze it on the spot. The tradesmen, will also be called upon to oxhibit their invoices to prove .whence their stock is derived. Not only are the stores of wholesale agents or .-dealers, to be thus inspected,' but the retailers, the cafe, restaurant irad public house keepers will bo subjected to an equally .vigorous supervision, and all venders of such falsifications will be to prosecution. .Ziotttfort LanceL m m ,.',. vpJirtvf, gartlen, donpfc throw gtaway that soapsuds .-from Mfe lxuhdiy w 'keep'tjieni to Also as fertilise 'for S'our et TtJ rr The Oldest House in Our Line in The State !
