WINTER TURNIPS. Have you soleet'ed your ground for yourf winter lurnip'patch? If you have, plough it up, at once, and, if possible, subsol it; that done, harrow and roll it, and let it lay until about the 20th of July; then haul on your manure; plough it in; harrow and rroas harrow it. On or about the 25th of July, sow your turnip seed; spread over it J per acre, 21) bust ls of asbes, and 10 bush els of lime; lightly harrow ir. Ihe seed, and roll jour ground. J,,r.,,i,,.::....i.. oa may rest assured that by giving your turnip ground two ploughing and one subsoilirig, you will greatly increase the crop and upon this you may rely, that 20 bushels of bones, 10 bushels of ashes, and 1. bushel of nUster, will give you just as large a yield as would 20 double horse! tart load or stable or barn yard manure. If you I ve not manure on hand, go to work, at once, and procure it. . TO AVOID THE CHOLERA. - The Boston Poet eaye there is one place there where youwill be re to escape the xlrcallitf disease aa the AlasaachuscU Jficn- eral Hospital: advertises that "no case of cholera will be admitted into that Institution." IHRTESTING. ' As larvesticg will take place in a large area of conutry in which our paper cir culates be for 4 its next appearance, - we seize the opportunity to offer a few words of advice.

After your crop is cut down, see that it if so cared lor as to be placed in a condition to reeeive no injury from the effects of rain, and, when sufficiently-diy for the purpose, that it be either housed or so stacked as that the rain eannot harm it. The value of many a good erop of grain, has beefl seriously lessened by the slovenly manner in which it was managed after it was cut down.

W. R. S. MILDEW ON GOOSBERRIES. In answer to frequent inquiries on tnis oftauhject we copy tne following furnished br n correspondent to a late number the Horticulturist:- "Early in the spring in 1844, I purchas ed at auction a dozen bustics of the best English varietits of gooseberry stated to have been imported by Kcnrick. Theso were set out in good rich soil. ' I also transplanted to the same situation several la,rgr bushes, ol a small red variety, receiv ed fronv. a friend a year or two before. In commo witli cultivators of this fruit in the nciahhorhood, I was year after year, doom ed disappointment in the fruit produced. Although from the bushes of Uic smaller va riety, last named, I annnally raised a few very fair and tine flavored berries, the for mer yielding not an eatable ' fruit, 4eing about half grown, so covered with mildew, as ii frequently the case in this climate, that a- red variety could not be told from a,, white or green one, ' Partly from lh information obtained from The Horticulturist and other sources, and partly front my own reflection, I was led to try early anJ close pruninf,and the application tf a mixture of unleached wood ashes and salt, to the surface under the bushes. . Thus: about the ; , 1st of March, and before the buds have much swollen, cut of the larger half, and in aome cases two thirds of tho new . prow tit, - and when too thitk, thin out some of the branches, so as to give them handsome open heads.

Buck wheat meal or flour ia much used in some, sections of the United States for making girddle rakes.

It may nave been frcqrtenrjy nbiloed that cows white giving milk, evince "a disposi tion to eat bones. The appetite is sometimes very strong for them; indeed so voracious are 8me cows that they will leave oil other food for the sake of obtaining bones, which Ihcy wuT ;'if hew "by tTieliour togetherThti apparently morbid propensity is accounted for by the following theory: Chemical analysis proves that milk contains bone; and it is hence inferred that the food of the cow should contain the elements of bone, in ordcflo" or that which is capable of affording due supported all parts of the system. If the food is destitute of any of the essential principles of' milk tho effort of nature to perfect this fluid, may occasion draw back on some bodily tissues, and the substance of the bones and mused may be carried off in the milk. The bones from this cause become weak encd,. and arc unable to support the body. This effect is sometimes called tho "bone disease.'" ' Prof. Johnson aovcral years si neci suggested trrat bono meal fed frJeowi would be found useful in such cases. ' A late number of tho Massachusetts Plowman states that a number of farmers have tried thia and report that they have found it an effectual remedy. Irfind whiolv has long been pastured by m.ilcti.cQws, iaabcen Sound to . become so much exhausted .of phosphate of lime-the earthy matter of bones that the milk was defi cient in this principle, and the cows became weak in their frames and unhealthy. On manuring the land with bones and with phosphate of lime, the composition of the herbage again became perfect, and the cows were strong, and gave ' good and nourish, iug niilk PLOU'ING LIGHT LANDS COW PEAS. Mr. Editor: The establishment and continuance of the Cultivator amongst us should in my opinion, be esteemed a mat ter of gratulation by the farming communi ty. It certainly supplies a desideratum long, needed, and no doubt will prove of immense advantage to the agricultural in terest of the South. ' It should be in the bands of every farmer. As the evidence of the estimation in which it is held by those acquainted with it I will state the fact that I do not remember to have heafd any subscriber to the work speak of it without remarking that almost every number was richly; worth its cost per annum. , -s I am a small planter in a small, wand would like to have the opinion of yourself and correspondents on the subject of plow ing onr light, sandy lands. Is deep or light plowing best? Should much or little dirf be put to the corn in the second plow ing! What plows are roost - suitable for, such bndsf Is it, or is' it not, best to bed eorn land mid plenr in the witef furrow! j bhould cotton beds on Tight ptne land be much or little elevated? . In reading the "cow pea discussion" contained in several numbers of the Culti vator, I was reminded pfa remark of au Editor "dovn East." lie stated that in England it was (before ihe famine) a maf irr yi uoum," wneuier or not tne people could be induced to so indian meal as an arln-lc of fond.

Sueh have I ulwar fyund tn hi fhr rasn with rp.nppl tn ihn .n it nn I will s'ate, however, as mv ooituon. that rotten peas will kill stock;' and my reason for thinking so is the following: Last year I planted a fi4d in cotton, which hsd been in corn and peas the year before, and some volunteer peas came up, and were left , on the ground, which produced peas. J Aftermy cation had Wn picked I allowed my hogs to run in th llo)d, and several of them died in few days. They were then turned out. and I lost no more. Tlieae same hogs-.had been. jn peas itau?. other field for a month or two before, and not one died, They were turned on the first field eirly.

Ho presides at the latter from eight tnrtwet vein thB morning; and in the former ball past one to six in the afternoon. The subject of yesterday's discussion was the "sugar question." It sppcars that the excise on sugar, whelhr of colonial or home production, amounts to forty-nine francs ana a half on the hundred kilogrammes, that is to a fraction less than five cents a pound. The effect ol th'u mis erable legislation is,' that few can afford to buy suar, the demand is limited, and (Im production languishes, "Tbe prices of the commonest sugar in France i about seven-, teen cents a pound Think of that, yt American housewives, who make ginger, bread and sugar-cake? part of the daily bread of your children, and who are ready to scold th grocer if he ask you more than six cent . pouniiLJl I'ajenrtbe celebrated self-made chemist, ha just pub. liahed a woik'on ugar in-w4iieh tgte tabic of the comparative consumption of sugar in different conntrics of Europe.

The colonial question was fully discussed, Il wii universally agreed that the colonial production would be greatly lessened by the substitution ot free for slave t4bnr.
