time. The roots may not get largu
enough to soil in the narket, but 0
they will be of great value as feed
for cattle and sheep, and also for a
homo use. One of the best fall pas- i
tures for sheep, hogs and cattle is a it
corn field, front \wihich the corn hs it
been gathered, ant.l \vlwhere yvin tur

The early flat varieties of turnips ,
are 'prolilallo evin w lien they sell
for only twenty-tive cents per bushel, t
and this price can be obtalnt-d for ,l
them at nearly any seasonl of the h.
year. They 111more10 often hibring thirty tl
or forty cents pler Iushel, so that the p
labor is well Ipail. T'lhe rutal agas,
or Swedes, cannot b1) grown so sue- Ii
cessfully as a sccon(t crop, unless 3,
planted very early in the season, as e
they require considerable time to II
ripen before freezing weather. 'They,
are in 0more demand, however, and 1
bring fifty cents per' bushel when the 1i
flat turnips sell for half that. One s
thing about turnips is that if th'e'e is sl
no prolitlble market for them they 1
will always relpay one for gr"owing s,
them as food for cattle. u
Tuhe expense of growing the crop
is small, according to the Almerican t
Cultivator. The seed is cheap, and
the laind used would otherwise re
main idle for the rest of tihe season.
Ilencee all tax or interest on the land
is not inclutlcd ill the original oxll -
penses. The land is already soft tl
and melow front the cutltivation of 1.
the previous crop, and it only needs I
a surface plowing and harrowing. A 2
few hundred pounds of bone dust t
should be spread over the land at
this plowing, and when the laud is i1
mellow and smooth enough for the I
seed the work is nearly compic'e.
MIark the land off, and sow by nand. p
or use a garden drill and lplatner
that will drop the seeds carefully i
rows, using less than a pound of soe a
to the acre.
This is the most economical way,
although some prefer to scatter the tl
seed broadcast, especially when it is
to be used for pasturing cattle.
When the seed is used in the corn
field this broadcast sowing is prob
ably better. The turnips should be f
cultivated as any other garden vege. ii
table, thinning out to six or eight
inches in the row. The harcvesting
must take place before a sevelo freezo e
in the fall can injure the plarns.
Facts for Drivers. W
The IHumane C'ircular says that -
experiments show that one-third to
two-thirds more powcer is required to
draw a given load through mud or
>and than on a smooth, hard road. C
That a slight raise in the grade re- P
quires a larger incrcase (of power and
a raise of one foot in ten doubles tihe
draft. 5
That a little rain goftening the
surface adds nearly twenty per cent '
to the power required.
In all these cases policy and hn- n
manity demand snialler loads and g
frequent short rests.
Dry axles add double, sometimes o
treble, to the labor of a team. Nothing p
pays better than frequently oiling k
wagron axles.
'The power and longevity of the
3orse are in exact ratio to the intelli- a
gent care and feeding he receives. e
lie can draw on his fixed stock of vi
tality to stpply deficiency of food or
to do overwork, but it shortens his
1life and reduces his value. That
horses have been worked to death in a

Sraws on their vital Dower. As heat
Sdepends on food, all clipped horses,
and those not warmly stalblcd and
well blanketed, require much extra i
food, without which they wear out 1
fast. Therefore overwork, under
fecding and negilct are all costly and
wasteful. a
Overloading is costly anid cruel, 0
Sand has ruined thousands ot horses.
No load should be too heavy to haul
easily over the hardest place on the
trip. Steady hard pTulling causes i
great pain, so give your team frc
quent rests, especially during the
early part oLthe trip.
SOwnership has limitations and be- 1

neglect any animal. Our laws recog

and protect them.
s The whip inflicts great pain and
t worry, and helps immensely to wear
out a horse. The best horsemen of
e our time condemn its use, and be
v lieve that much more is lost than
e gained by it. If all drivers were i
r struck each time they strike a horse,
r whips would soon disappear. Thei
"necessity" for them would cease.
To know how a horse feels, learn

'Marietta, U., a year ago, I ate the fe
best dish of sweets that I have ever
tasted, and on inquiring how they
erto prtepared was given the follow
ing recipe which my wife has used N
ever since: ''Boil the tubers until ni
well done, then reloiiOve the skins; to
lay them in a broad dish-earthen r'u
preferred-sprinkle over them a ci
tablespoonful of granulated sugar he
and pour over them a teacupful of cc
caream, or lacking the cream, milk tu
with an ounce or so of butter. Put p(
them in a hot oven and bake brown." fe
I think I shall got this recipe printed fu
and give to every customer, and w
I believe by so doing I can ig
greatly increase the sale of them, i fa
for cooked in this way they are a de- gr
licious dish. Io
Of course, the quantity of sugar c(
must be regulated by the size of the '_

civilized Indian population that lived io
here and tilled the soil before the to
coming of the Spaniards, four cen- I

occasional old stone utensils and Le
