F the - rh ( ralist- 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- il citi 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 ; aim unmercifully at every step, around the table, through the hall, and into the street, the crowd shouting and applauding. We are sorrv to learn that nmnnir tho , , . . . . and other convenient and necessary- buildinjrs. crowd wero lawyers, sheriffs, magistrates with a Wcll of J b and constables; and that even his honor J PURE WATER. the judge, forgetting his dignity and posi- j It is altogether one of the most desirable, conven tion, shouted in a loud voice, "Uive it to nknt' and best mProved P!atL'S t country, . . and it is rarely such him.

Dick's weapon failed before his an i ger: and when at length the battered Col onel escaped into the door of a friendly dwelling, the victor had nothing in his hands but the hind legs of the roaster. Here-entered the dining room flourishing these over bis beau, and renting his still imappeased wrath in great oaths The company reassembled, and finished their dinner as best they might.
