Rutabaga Turnips--The Great Value of the Turnip Crop. Here we are at the commencement of July, asking our readers to be busy now in making preparation for the turnip crop. We presume, however, that this has been done in part by thorough cowpenning on most of the plantations, where it is a good and universal-practice to pen the cattle during the spring months on the'small lots intended for this crop. This prac tice, with frequent plowings, puts the soil in fine tilth, and the droppings of cattle, sheep and swine, if regularly subverted, usually make the'land sufficiently rich to produce fine bulbs. It is the proper time, all in this month, to sow Rutabagas, and our preparation of-the soil and mode of putting in the seed, is briefly as is practi cable, and-with each plowing give the field a good harrowing. This is done once a week for a month, previous to planting, and when we are ready to plant, we bed up the land eighteen inches be. tween the rows, taking care to have it done perfectly and evenly. This bed is then opened with a very small plow, and in the absence of a seed drill, a bottle, with a quill inserted in the cork, may be used to drill the seed. If a small quan tity of ashes is placed with the seed, they freely fall from the bottle, upon its being held over the drill-neck downwards and giving it a good jerking shake at each step. A careful hand can drill two acres a day in this manner, and a little practice soon enables the operator to thus drop the proper quantity of seed.. We cover with a rake or light brush'harrow. The best manure for turnif - is bone Slust or leached ashes. A good compost may be made by using guano, peat-earth, and ashes. This, when properly tempered with charcoal, pulverized very finely, is a capital application to the. turnip field. We have-used Mape's Improved Super phosphate of Lime with great success -last season, making an application of one hun dred and sixty pounds to the acre. The turnip tribe of plants are all great feeders, and if any coarse manure is buried in the field, it will be of service to the crop. Rutabaga turnips require plowing and hoeing, and speedy thinning is of essen tial service to this variety. They should stand at least ten inches apart in the drills, and.he kept clean of grass and weeds. We have given these directions for the cultivation of Rutabagas, because we consider. them the most valuable of the turnip family. They stand the winter's frost better than white turnips, and can .be fed off the land without housing or growing pithy. They require too, to be planted one month earlier than common turnips. Being of the same habit and growth of the cabbage, they must be plan'ted at any seasonable time during the summer, but we prefer July for the regu. lar crop. We hope all our readers *ill agree with us, that the turnip crop is one of great value, and can be profitably grown even by Southern planters. It only re quires the proper preparation of the soil, in most instances, to make very fair tur nips. In England this is the farmer's great crop, for on it he feeds his sheep, fattens his oxen, and even learns his horses, in a measure, to live on. Ratabagas. It is economy here to have a fine "turnip patch," and we see no reason why so im portant a culture might not be increased, and made to fill a gap ini our rural econo my which should certainly be looked to. -Exchange. Benefits of Agricultural Fairs. Every thing from the lips or pen of Daniel Webster still continues to be read with interest. The following is an extract fr-om an Address of his, delivered at the Annual Fair of the Norfolk Agricultural Society, at Dedeamn, Massachusetts, in the year 1849: "The principle of Association-the practice' of bringing men together bent on the'same general end, uniting their in tellectual and their physical efforts to that purpose is a great improvement in the present age. We saw it years ago-a perhaps I might say centuries ago. It began in the corporations of the old wat-Id. It began in the -professional associations of the world-in the legal, the medical and the theological. But it was long. in that country and in this, before the prin ciple of combination came to be acted upon in the great system of Agriculture -before it was brought to that pursuit of life which is the main pursuit of life-be Iore agriculturists were brought to act in unison. And the reason is obvious. In the city communities strive together. The merchants anid shipowners can come together at the spound of a bell. The me chanics, generally, living in populous pla ees, may do the same. They have the opportunity of' interchanging sentiments every how-, and what one knzows', all know, aind what is the experience of one, all soon become acquainted with. But the atg ricultural population is scattered over aill the fields of the country. Their labors and their toils are in some degree isolated. They afe in the midst of the hills and the valleys, and the recesses of every solita ry forest. There is no 'Change for them to assemble upon at noon. There arc no Atheneumis for themi to meet at in the evening and converse on theli- inferests. "Why gentlemnen, every, man obtains a very great portion of all that he knows in this world, by conversation. Conver satiopn, intercouse with other minds is the general source of most of our knowledge. . Books do something, but every man has no opportunity to read. It is conversa tion that improves. If any one of us is here to-diy, learned or unlearned, should deduct what he has learned by conversa.. tion from what he knows, he would find but little left, and that little not of the most valuable kind. It is conversation it is the meeting of men face to face, and~ talking over what they have common in interest-it is this intercourse that makes men sharp, intelligent, ready to commiu iiate to others, and ready to receive in tiinzations from thorn, and ready to act upon those only which they receive by this oral communication. " Therefore if there were not a' thing exhibited-if there were not a good pair ofsteers, nor a fine horse, nor likely cow in'the whole country, if there be ladies, wives and daughters-if there be those connected with the tillage of land, I say that these annual meetings are highly im pdrtant to progress in the art to which ~they refer. I come here as a poor farmer, to. meet with other better farmers, to re ceive from them any intimation their ex perience may teach, anid desirous only of suggesting something for their reflection which now or hereafter may draw it use fully, to something in the agricultural art." ' VALUE OF PEAs AND BEANs.--These ar tieles, says an exchange, have been found, by chemical analysis, to abound in nitro gen. The inference has been tliat they wodld be specially useful in supporting tewaste of the mucles of animal and it has been suggested that they would be particulary useful in the production of wool. 'They are evidently valuable for these purposes, but not the less valuable for the production of fit. Those persons who have used peas for fattening hogs, consider them worth as- much as Indian corn. In districts where that grain is not grown, very fine pork is produced from peas.. Dickson, in his work "On the breeding of Live Stock," states that a sweep stakes was entered into between five East Lothiam farmers, to be claimed by one who should be pronounced the best feeder of cattle. Forty cattle of the same breed, and in equal condition, were divided between them, as fairly as possible. They were put up together the second week in September, and killed at Christmas following. The winner of the stakes fed his cattle wholly on boiled beans with hay. To Keep Butter Hard and Cool. A writer in the Scientific American re commends to the ladies a very simnple ar. rangement for keeping butter nice and cool in the hottest weather. Procure a large, new flower-pot of suficient size to cover the butter plate, and also a saucer large enough for the flower-pot to rest in upside down ; place a trivet or meat stand, such as is sent to the oven when a joint is baked, in the saucer, and put on this trivet the plate of butter; now fill the saucer with water, and turn the flower-pot over the butter, so that its edge will be below the water. The hole in the flower-pot must be fitted with a cork; the butter will then be in what we may call an air-tight chamber. Let the whole of the outside of the flower-pot be then thoroughly drenched with water and place it in as cool a place as you can. If this be done over night, the butter will be " firm as a rock" at breakfast time; or, if placed there in the morning, the butter will be quite hard for use at tea hour. The rea son of this is, that when water evaporates, it produces cold; the porous pot draws up the water which in warm weather quickly evaporates from the sides and thus cools it, and as no warm air can ncw get at the butter it becomes firm and cool in the hottest day. Prom the Valley Farmer. To Drive the Weevil from Mills and Granaries. Numerous remedies have been pro. posed to protect wheat and corn from the destructive ravages of the weevil (curculho granarius,) but most of them have been impracticable, or too expensive. Tar has been found a certain and economical agent for expelling these insects. A writer in a French publication asserts, that-his father had, a long time ago, his granaries and barns infested with these insects-; so much so that they penetrated into all the chests, and among the linen. He placed an open cask impregnated with tar, in the barn, and then in the granaries; at the end of some hours the weevils were seen climb-. ing along the walls by myriads, and flying in all directions from the cask. On mov ing the tarred vessel from place to place, the premises were, in a few days, corn pletely cleared of these troublesome and pernicious guests. The farmer who in troubled with these insects may, as soon as he pereives their presence, imipregnate the surface of some old planks with tar, and place them as .r'equired in his grana ries; care must be taken to renew the tar from time to timec in the course of the yar, to prevent their return. The same means may not prove equally -efctive with the grain moth, an ash-col ored miller, called by some a weevif. TR AxsPLANTING EvERGnEs.--The Lon don Gardner's Chronicle describes the fllowing method as promising gieat effi cacy in reviving plants dried by having had their roots too long out of the ground, and insuring their safe renoval in late spring and summer, and as being especial ly fitted for evergreens when transplanted : " Make a hole in the ground to contain about 20 gallons of water, and pour about 16 gallons into it; add to this about 20 lbs. of barn-yard manure mtixed with about the siime qu'antity of fine rich soil. By workinig the mixture for a long time, and carefully, you reduce it to the con sistency of' white-wash. In this mixture, steep the roots of your plants just befo~re putting them into the groundl ; the ear-th throwvn over them into. the hole sticks to the roots, which immediately begin to swell. At the very first movemuent of sap, rootlets appear through this .coatinug, which gives the immeidiate man~ure. and not only brings on, but secures the t'urther foration of roots. Once fairly started. there is nothing more to fear." SPEcwmlo FORt BUos oN 'INEs.-Ilaving seen by your paper that umany truckers in your section are anxious to ascertain a simple and sure remedy to destroy bugs on squashes, cueumbers, and the like, I will give you one which is alnost a spe ciic, and within the reach of every onle, especially those living on the sea-board. Procure fresh fish-of any kind what ever, the commonest and cheapest ,just as good-a sufficient quantity, according to circumstances, say one peck to a barrel of water. Let them stand therein a day or two. in order to commence decompo sition, anid omit thmer necessarily unpleas ant odor ; then remove the barrel to your patch, just dampening the leaves. In addition to driving away the bugs, your plants will become green and heal thy, and soon grow beyond the reach of any titture swarm of depredators. It may be necessary to use the water two or three times in the course of two weeks, but remember that every application is equivalent to a dressing of mannre, which is very trifling. Fresh fish oflid is of equal value with the fish.-Cor. Co. Gent. DAIRv SArLr.-A correspondent of the New England Fahrmer furnishes the fol lowing mode of preparing dairy salt: "Take the best crystal salt, wash it, dis solve, strain, settle anid turn off; boil it down in some per fectly clean iron vessel, skim as boilIng; when stirr-ed oil' dry, it will produce fine salt, wvhite as the drift ing snow, which, if stirred up in a glass vessel of water, will produce no sedimeint, and will be distinct from any mineral or other possible impurity."
