THE USE AND PRESERVATION OF
TURITTPS.
As wo promised on article on litis subject
in the .I'i'.y N"-. wp proceed to gh e our
tiswa and t ip Hence for tin- benefit of tboes
wl:o oulv plant this vabi. Me crop of sin-ill
.iia:ititi-. W w. uld be glad to have the
idi a jT icti.-ally adopted, that the turnip
Crop in indispensable, and -hould be l.uge
lv grown on all the j lantutions of the South.
That it would be profitable, is, In us, no
natter of doubt. In England, this is the
firmer' trreat crop; for on it be feeds hi
m'.i - p. fittens his OH n, and even learns hi
horsra, iii a great infill, to live on rutn-ba-is.
If we were to adopt a turnip mania
with the violence with which we see our
plmt r take the humbug in the af pie
commercial crops, we would soon see mark
ed changes in our farm Block for the bi tter,
whilst the milk pail and the butter churn
would testify to tli' comfort and producing
qualith of the root. We have grown 8UU
bushels of rutabngis upon r.n acre, and the
cost of this culture did not exceed -().
As ample directions have heretofore been
given for the cultivation of the crop, we
will treat, at present, only of the uses which
wo have usually mado of them, and their
preservation. We feed them to all our do
mestic animals horses, mules, cattle,
pheep. goats, swine and poultry. For hor
ses and innb-s we simply wash the roots
clean and throw thorn in the manger along
with the Corn. The horses will cut to .-ati-cty,
and the best effect will follow, as to
condition aud appearance. Some horses
will not readily eat them, but they can he
trained in half a day to do so. We usually
take all the food out of tho manger, and
Butting the turnips into pieces, tempt the
horse, by putting portions into his mouth.
This soon induces bin to lay hold aud do
j istiee to the fare. Added to grain and fod
der or hay, the turnip supplies the lack ol
green fod in winter, and thus is paxticu
larlv beneficial to verv old horses and colts.
U-Uli
tlu in into pieces nnd
steam them for our mikh cattle, but feed
them entirely raw to those not giving milk.
Wc regard this as more congenial t the
raturc of animals than to eteum them, as
the deficiency of green food is thus suppli
ed in winter. Steaming banishes the tur
nip flavor from butter. For calves, we chop
th.-m ( ry fine, and mix them with nasal.
A liberal allowance of hay, with a mess of
tumips ami m al, will keep a calf all winter,
and all the milk can be taken from the row
for d annatic purposes. We boil turnips
with
our fattening bogs, and this
b.ings them rapidly forward for tho pick
ing tab, Our stock hogs are fed abate
of raw turnips every other day as long as
tuey ia-t. with the best effects. To sheep
and oats, we feed them whole and without
Washing, exe ipt to very old ewes. For
those we chop them in i-izes not larger than
a amlnat, as their front teeth will not per
mit them to munch out the roots, as young
er sheep will do. Last winter, our lambs
ail Came in the depth ol tlie snows and iee,
and by the aid of turnips, and covered only
by a small open shod, we saved every lnmb
yeaned. We fed our ew es liberally on tur
nips and hay, alternating every other day
wi-li cotton seed. Independently of suck
ling the lambs, our sheep came out of the
winter in fine condition and have since
thriven most remarkably. We, therefore,
h.i'.'e good grounds for a strong recommen
dation of tliis crop as au adjunct to sheep
growing, and believe no one can succeed
without it.
We ha al" made extensive use of tur
nips in feeding our poultry. We cut them
up in fine, shreds and pour boiling water
over them. Ducks and chickens relish
them when thus prepared. For geese, we
use the small turnips, which wo throw to
thorn whole, as they generally cut them up
with their sharp teeth. We regard no poul
try yard as furnished with suitable food for
winter, unless it has nn ample storo of tur
nips, as they supply to the poultry all that
is required in the way of green food. These
uses for animal, b eing so beneficial, when
we come to an appreciation of their value
as an articlo of human fc.od. we are con
vinced that no crop of more value in these
particulars aud essentials can be grown on
the plantation.
Several years since, we published a reci
pe for properly cooking turnips, which a
distinguished agriculturalist avowed was
worth one hundred dollars. We now give
it for less than a thousandth part of that
nm. Turnips, after being cooked with
nice, half cured pork, er boiled in water and
properly seasoned, should whilst simmering,
just before being dished up. have a small
quantity of the best sugar added to them.
Tho quantity is to be determined to suit the
tato a spooadVil or two nil be sufficient
for a dish for ball a dozen persons. This
takes away all the tntnip flneor, so objec
tionable to most pnlntna. and renders the
turnip a delightful and inviting dish. It
also fits it for delicate stomachs, which
otherwise could not bear this kind of food.
Presfhvixg Ti'EXirs, Vc. As soon as
the frost has stopped the growth of the
plants, aud there is reason to apprehend
their freezing, begin M take them up. A
handy person, with a large knife, cuts off
the tap roots; th turnip are laid in rows
on one eide nnd the tops on the other, to be
gathered up by the cart', and carted to the
storing ground and barn. We feed e ii' the
tops to our cattle a rapidly as they will
ot them, though if left in the field in small
heaps they will keep in fending conditiem
a lonr time. For our turnip rvts, we ele
vate a 1ed end store them in long conical
ridges, M er aTiiflh we erect a roof of board,
covered with earth to the depth of six in
ches. At intervals of six or eight feet we
plae ventilating lubes made of six inch
board, perforated with auger holes, or
what we regard as better, three inch Jatlia
nai'.ed round ahead piece four inches square.
These will leave a small slit all the way
through the heap, un the four corners of
th. tube, and the impure gatfl will readi- ;
o
ly e-cape. During very cold weather, the j
ton must be closed hv a triangular cap, j
made of two pieces of boards saddled over
the cone of the roof upon a wisp of straw.
Those which we arisb to save later in the
season, wo put into conical mounds cover
ed in as sweet potatoes usually are. we
pat from twenty-five to forty bushels in a
heap.
ai.d when we break it. we uc the
contents immediately. With these pre
cautions, we have frequently kept turnips
till we had no further use f..r them in the
irini
and the pastures were green with
'rass.
A SCENE IN VIRGINIA.
At Calpeper Court House, In Virginia,
eon after the formation of the county, Dick
! Hardy, then a good humored, gay young
i bachelor, the favorite of both sexes, was
j called upon to carve the pig at the court
! .'.iiuier. The District Judge was at the
table, the lawyers, justice
and everybody
else that felt disposed to dine. At Dick's
right elbow sat a militia Colonel, who was
tricked out in ail the pomp and circumstance
admitted by his rank. He hud probably
been engaged on some court martial, impos
ing fifty cent lines on absentees from the
last general must r. Howbeit Dick, in
thru-ting hir fork into the back of the pig,
bespattered the officer's regimentals with
mum of the superfluous gravy
I beg your i
pardon," said Dick, as he went on with his
carving. Now these were times when the
war spirit was high, and chivalry at a pre
mium. 1J g your pardon" might serve as
a napkin to wipe the stains from one's
honor, but did not touch the question of the
crreased and spotted regimentals.
I
The Colonel, sw. lling with wrath, seized
a spoon, and delibt ratcly dipping it into the
I gravy, dashed it over Dick's prominent
hirt frill.
All saw the act, and vvi'ii open eyes and
mouth sat in astonished silence, waiting to
see what would be done next.
The outrag-

Calmly laid down his knife and
j fork, and looked at bis frill, the officer, and
: the pig. one after another. The Colonel,
! unmindful of tho pallid countenance and
j significant "lance of burning eves, leaned
, hack in his chair, with arms akimbo, re
! garding the youns farmer with cool disdain,
i A murmur of surprise and indignation arose
from the congregated guests. Dick's face
! turned as red as a turkey gobbler's.
I JIc deliberately took the pig by the hind
leer, and with a sudden whirl brought it
! down upon the head of the unlucky officer.
' Stunned by the squashing blow, astounded
and blinded with streams of gravy, and
' wads of stuffing, he attempted to rise, but
; blow after blow from the fat pig fell upon
; his bewildered bend. He seized a carving
knife and attempted to defend himself with
blind hut ineffectual fury; and nt length,
with a desperate effort, rose and took to
I hi heels. I)ick Hardy, whose wrath wax-
ed hotter ami hotter, followed, belaboring

table, through the hall, and into the street,

but the hind legs of the roaster. Here-entered
the dining room flourishing these over

A RUSE.
One of our Secretaries of State for the
United States struck out a giod mode of get
ting rid of an intruder in a particular case. !
jt appears that the door-keeper of the Sec- j
rptry's office was remarkably obliging,
wu;ci, proved quite the thing for an office- i
seeker, who managed to get in every day
and bother the Secretary. When the an-
novance had continued three or four days,
the Secretary stepped up one morning to j
the door-keeper, and asked whether he knew j
what the man came after daily.
'Yes." replied the functionary, "an of- j
fice I suppose."
"True ; but do you know what office ?'
'No, sir."
'Well, then I will tell you;;e ivants your
pace," j
Tbe meeting next morning, between the
office-seeker and the polite door-keeper, is
, .-aid to have been rich, from the peculiar
j manner in which the intruder was inform-
I ed, "The Secretary is not at home!"
