The coniraoti Hat English turnip was introduced into this country with our English ancestry and has ever since been an object of cultivation. When boiled it is an agreeable vegetable lor the table. Its principle value, however, is food lor cattle and sheep, by which it is eaten uncooked. Its comparative nutritive properties are small, but the great bulk which can be raised on a given piece of ground nnd the iiicilitv and econoinv of cultivation hnw ?>1 ways rendered te a* favourite with snch farmers as have soil and stoelc adapted to its profitable production and use. A good soil for it is a fertile sand or well drained loam. Any soil adapted to Indian corn will produce good turnips, liut is it only on new land or freshly turned sod that they are most successful. An untitled virgin earth, with the rich dressing of ashes loft after the recent burning of accumulated vegetable matter, and free from weeds and insects, is the surest and most productive for turnip crops. Such lands need no manure. For a sward ground, or clover ley, there should be a heavy dressing of fresh, unfcimented manure before plowing. D)/1 i )l*n to nn rrnr?il?x? ? ?~ 1 niui|'3 iu'iy uu suwil any time from the 16th of June to the 1st of August. The first will give a greater yield; the last generally a sounder root and capable of longer preservation. The ground should be plowed and harrowed immediately before sowing, as the moisture insures rapid germination of the seed, which is of great importance to get it beyond the reach of insects as soon as possible. This maybe sown brodcast at the rate of one or two pounds per aerc and lightly harrowed and rolled ; or it is better to be sown in drills when a less quantity of seed will suffice. A turnip drill will speedily accomplish the furrowing, sowing, covering and rolling at v a single operation. The crop will be uiu terially assisted by a top dressing of lime, ashes and plaster, at the rate of fifteen or twenty "bushels of the first, half a quantity of . the second, and three or four bushels of the last, per acre. When the plants show themselves and the leaves are partially ex.,*.v panded, the cultivator or hoe majj^nay be jreeiy useu, surring tne ground weir and ex " terminating all weeds. .V'--."''.. ' ' ' Dr. Smith on Wheat.?Dr. Gideon B. ; ?>mith, the forme able editor of the AmeriFarmer, has made the following prei} rvy;>^!iction with reference to the coming crop. r?Mark it. , ./' The wheat crop must be looked to. IV-1 J am not a dealer in wheat, nor interesti\ *>ed in it other than as an eater of bread. But the scab will be found to affect the crop of 1847 to such and extent, that a great scarcity of good flour will prevail. The J*--r-?> ' - ... acau is aiso an epidemic at times. It will ^ spread over the whole of_ this country in 1847, '48 : will appear in Europe this year / #nd in- 1848, and oyer the whole that continent. It will take the usual if., "^course of vegetable epidemics from west 1 . to east?that is, commence in Ameri.ca and will reach the eastern world. 5".. Nearly all, if not all, animal epidemics commence in the east apd progress westwardly, as in the case of the cholera. When the scab shall have run its course, then the wheat will be relieved of its baneful effect ,?r 1847 will be the time in America. In > y l*if8,48.(tKore;'\yill .be some of it, more or less ; in'1:849 it will disappear, one year later in ^066 dates will be the time of its prov gresB in: Europe. But let no one despair. ^ The potato ano wheat and corn, and all ja a Ktwey Off n.airwaauoTinnt lor lurther use, or in a hoj& w scoopcd in the ground, and made tightiw lining it with clay. Next take from 3? 35 lbs of oil pf yitrol (sulphuric acid,-^toix6(l witljypne third of one half its weigittSpfWater, aiid pour over the bones. In^Mytir two, the bones will dis solve into a liquid paste, to which there musj be added, by stirring in, wocd psliesor fine mould, until it is of the consistency of thick mortar. Put the mixture under cover out of the way of rain, and in u few weeks it will bccome a light dry powder, which may be applied by the hand or otherwise; to any kind of land that may require it. In pre pa I rii.g tins mixture, great care must ne oupoived to keep the oil of vitrol from touclij ing the clothes or skin, as it will burn them ! as badly as fire. The oil of vitrol, for this mixture, must be of a first rate quality, otherwise it would require a greater quantity than given above ; to dissolve 100 lbs. of bones. The mixture answers best for a turnip-crop ; but it is highly valuable for other roots as well as for grass and grain. It should be applied at the rate of 20 to 40 bushels to the acre, sown broad-cast on grass land, in the spring, or on turnip-crops planted in rows or drills, I as roots, corn, beans, peas, &c. &c\, it may , be applied in the hills or rows at the time j of sowing, or it may be afterwards sprinkled ! around the plants at the time ofhoeing. j To Destroy Weeus in Gravi:l-Wal.ks. ] ?Of all the excellent recipes for keeping I pavements and garden-walks free from j grass and weeds, none is so effectual as to : lure a cook to pour upon them every morning the water in which the eggs lor break: fast have been boiled; but the virtue is en! tirely lost if it be not done the instant the I skillet is taken from the fire?that is, the | water must be boiling hot. \ i ! Trimming Trees.?June is a good month ; for trimming fruit trees, and in June we i have more leisure than in May. We ad: vise to trim off a lit'.le each year in prefcr; once to cutting away a large branch, or a I largo portion of the top at one time. If you ! climb into the tree and stand on the limbs, cast off your thick shoes or boots and put on old slippers that are tnoj-e easy to the feet and to the green bark of the tree. Heavy, thick soled boots and shoes make have havoc on young and growing limbs. ! It is argued by some that no limbs need j lopping^ since nature has provided has provided a suitable proportion of leaf and root. If this be so in a state of nature, it does not follow that it will lioid good in a state of culI tivation. In cultivating among trees we are continually cutting off roots. The tops i then would seem to require equal cutting. But we have no !?ith in the ductrine that the tree -never has a superabundance i of limbs and leaves. It seems apparent ; that nature has provided a surplus in nuliinrniK r>ncr>c t! ?? - r??mo ? >uut suiilb IIIIUCI UU^C) \ ill 11)11. It maybe that an cxeess of leaves is provided in order to feed the vermin that incline to live on trees ; and when it so happens that this class of creation fails to multply, or ; is destroyed by the hand of the cultivator 1 more leaves are actually found than the tree | can well support.?Plowman. [ . 1 Pickles.?A correspondent of the New i England Fanner, gives an easy and effica' cious method of pickling cucumbers, which ; he learned from an old sea-captain in the i West Indies. The recipe is very simple, and the superiority of pickle cured by its directions, has | been tested by many years experience.? | They are neither affected by age or climate, i The following is the recipe: ? rn . t ? ^ ; loeacn Hundred ot cucumbers put a. ' pint of salt, and pour in boiling .water sufficient to cover the whole. Cover them tight, : to prevent the steam from escaping, and in j this condition let them stand for twenty four I hours. They are then to be taken out, and I after being wiped perfectly dry, care being j taken that the skin is not broken, placed in the jar in which they are to bo kept.? Boiling vinegar (if spice is to be used, it should be boiled with vinegar) is then to be put to them, the jar closed tight, and in a fortnight dejicious hard picklcsare procured, as green as the day they were upon the vines." Cullode.v.?It was on the field of Culloden that Scotland fought her last battle. The field is still visited by travellers of every nation, and is often resorted to by the Gael as the shrine of his country's chivalry; the spot where liberty was wrested in conflict from his forefathers, and placed apparently nrevocably, in those of his enemies and oppressors. The incidents which preceded this fatal L.iit a-- r - ? - uuiuo ?re 100 in miliar to me Historical reader to need a repetion here. Itconstituesoneof those great epochs in the history of nations which never can be forgotten, or contemplated as little moment. The influence of the battle upon the two nations which were struggling for supremacy and dominion of empire, are well understood by every one, ana will long perpetuate, perhaps the so iGiiui tccunecuuiiH 01 ine iaie oi the CracL who fought and fell on that memorable field of Colloden. The tumuli or pits into which the slain were thrown, are still to be seen, and are believed to indicate accurately the grounds occupied by the belligerent armies during the conflict. oi1 . i m Estray Tolled.

The invention was not Ihe result of mere chance, but oflornr l , _ 0 experience and mathematical calculation. As to power, it is equal, if not superior, to any thing now in use. It requires less timber, easier framed, and put up in less time, and with less danger than a screw; and the Press will la6tas long as any timber protected from the weather or above ground. From the number of these Presses which are row in use from North Carolina to Mexico, wo feel no hesitancy in saying that they will supercede the Screw; and there are ten of our Presses up to one of any other, and we feel justified fn saying fifty to one. The average I duration of Screws in this District is not more than four and a half 01 five years, and as there is not less than five hundred Screws, see what is paid out in one year. For single or individual rights, ?15.00. We offer the District rights for sale on very low terms, which we consider a greater speculation than there is in the country. Persons wishing information respecting the Press, will find me for two weeks to come at the residence of Mr. James Cobb. I will build one more Press in this District for *$50, every thing found to hand. Invented in Barnwell District, S. C. PROVOST, Patentee.
