SPEAK GENTLY OF THE DEAD.
ARCHIBALD JOHNSTON.
Speak gently ot ttic nonoreu aeaa,
Tread lightly o'er their clay,
And never let they tongue deride
Those who have passed away.
In awful peace and silence deep
They sleep?and who can wake,
Then let their frailties also sleep.
And none their Blumbcr break.
Unfeeling he who draws aside
The veil death casts around,
And, mocking at the helpless dead,
Attempts their worth to wound.
O, sacred is the churchyard dust
Then softly o'er it tread,
0, man, be kind, be also just?
Speak gently of the dead
AGRICULTURE.
x TURNIP CULTURE.
As bat fow persons among as have
experience in the caltarc of this root,
or are apprised of its vast intrinsic value
end the season is near at hand
I ?? ? ?
when it should have attention, we deem
it not inappropriate to throw out a few
brief suggestions, in regard to it.
The soil for turnips should be such.
as will grow good corn. It should be
rich and dry, and, with these qualifications,
the more sand tho better. Clay,
or wet soil are least adapted to its
growth.
Preparation.?We would recommend
the deepest and most thorough pulverization
of the soil that the means at
command will admit of; sow in drills
two and a half feet apart, according to
richness of the soil and tho variety to
be sown. If manure is needed, a deep
farrow should be opened and the manure
bedded on, and the ridge reduced
by knocking it off with a board, or by
passing a roller over it. If to be had
conveniently, I would recommend the
using of a drill-barrow, which accomnlithna
with riianAtfth?ftfc nnft t.iinA n?R
sing over the ground, opening a furrow,
dropping and covering the seed and
rolling it smooth, pressing the earth
close around the seed, and thereby facilitating
their germination. There
should be but a slight elevation or ridge,
when the sowing is finished; they should
be reduoed to a stand at two workings,
in a similar manner to cotton. The lightest
oaliiv&tion that will accomplish this
and leave the ground wnll olwmcd. la
^ best. As to the distance to be given
in the drill, it must be governed by the
kind cultivated, as they vary in size
from one to twenty pounds in weight,
and occasionally much larger. In this
climate, the different varieties may be
sowed to advantage from the last of
July till October; as also some kinds in
early Spring. With good ground, or
thin land, judiciously manured, a crop
.of from 50G to 1000 bushels may be
safely counted on per acre, and its value
estimated at from one fourth to onehalf
as much as the same amount of corn
if fed to cattje along with their dry
food in winter. The prev&iliDg idea
that they ai%an exhausting orop to the
soil, is erroneous; as it is a plant that
Jr- draws largely upon the atmosphere for
its growth and development; and not
until it begins to go to seed does it
work an injury to the soil.?Southern

AN EXPERIMENT IN WHEAT
CULTURE.
Maxey, Ga., July 15, 1809.
Messrs. Editors:?I take the liberty
of giving you the result of an experiment
in wheat culture just concluded
in this vicinity. Mr. Samuel Baily, of
this place, was the experimenter and
ho has succeeded in raising nearly fifty
seven bushels of wheat from one acre
of ground'. This astonishing yield was
produced, as told to me, by him by the
following means t
Jn tko first plaoe the land was thin
pnd exhausted?had been in corn the
previous year, and by the use of manure
he succeeded m making seventeen bushels
of that crop on the acre.
About the last week in last October
he broke it up with a two-horse Brinly
flow. Upon this he spread broadcast,
|ix two-horse wagon loads of well rotted
stable manure, whiph was turned under
by a cross plowing with the same plow,
ypon this he sowed, broadcast, two
hundied and fifty pounds of dissolved
bone, which was harrowed in with a
two horse revolving harrow. He then
sowed one hundred and twenty pounds
pf wheat tp the aore and covered it with
a heavy brush dragged over it with
two mules. The clods were beat down
with a maul in the absence of a roller.
This vu on the 2d of November. In
the early part of FebnAry, the wheat
being then aboot six inches high, he
ICfffecl, broadcast, a top dressing of two
hundred and fifty pounds of Ammoniated
Phosphate. Late in March, when
the wheat was in the boot, he applied
two hundred and fifty pounds of Ammouiatcd
Dissolved bone and seventy-five
pounds of Bait together. This was applied
early in the morning on the dew,
one-half the mixture first and the other
half at the end of a week.
The grain was cut off with a common
reap hook as it ripeucd in places, commencing
on the 4th of June. The production
of the acre was three thousand
four hundred and fifteen pounds of good
wheat, ofthe variety known here as John
son wheat. Mr. Baily does uot know what
tho six loads of stable manure cost him
but the prices of the others are follows:
250 lbs. Dissolved Bone $8 75
250 " Ammoniated Phosphate 7 50
250 " Dissolved Bone 10 00
75 " Common Salt 1 30
$27 55
Tho land was measured and the wheat
threshed and weighed by disinterested
persons.
Uutil the Athens Wheat Club docs
bettor than Mr. Baily, "they must hide
their diminished heads."
Faithfully yours.

Sunflowers, when planted on an extensive
scale, it has recently beeu asserted
by experimenters in France and
Holland, will neutralize the deleterious
effects of exhalations from marshes.?
This nlan has been tried with erreat
success in the fenny districts near
Rochefort, Fiance, and the authorities
of Holland assert that intermittent fever
has entirely disappeared from districts
where the sunflowers have been
planted. Though the above facts appear
to be approved, it is not yet ascertained
what effect the sunflower produces
on the atmosphere, whether it
generates oxygen like other plants of
rapid growth, or whether, like the cone
bearers it emits ozone, and destroys the
animal and vegetable germs of miasms
producing fever.

Teeth filled to a COMPOSITION,
FILLING that he prepares and has
used for the past ten years, as it can be recommended
in all cases where the teeth
are so far decayed as to prevent their being
filled with any filling requiring pressure.
As it approaches nearer the color
of the teeth than Foils, it will bo found
satisfactory in filling the badly decayed
front teeth, avoiding the unsightly appearance
of the foil showing through
the thin plate of enamel. Being nearly
as hard as the bone of the teeth it will
prove serviceable in the masticating surfaces
of many teeth. Teeth filled several
years since have been found within a
few weeks in nearly- us good a condi- |
tion as when first filled.
