Teasles are in ^lincr.il imic li supericir to ours; and more 

 caro is winted either in obtaining tlie seeds of a better 

 plant or improving those we have. 



"The soil should be rich, not sandy, but loamy; I 

 begin to sow in the spring not expecting a crop nil a 

 year from next tall ; in order ih.ii I may have an annual 

 crop 1 adopt the folli>v\ing nielhnd ;— 1 sow two rows 

 about 10 iiii-hes apart, having tlie plains ahoiii 12 inches 

 apart ; it Ihey are luo thick, I transplant them the next 

 spring. I ihen have a spate of 1 feet forlhe next year's 

 crop which is manured by use of a hand ran. I hoe ihe 

 plants well two or three times. The same piece of land, 

 if well cultivated, will bear a good crop for several y.ars 

 To make it siill more profitable 1 sow English turnip 

 seed on the vacant parts, in tl.i-i way I raise about 200 

 bushels of good turnips. It does not cost anv mon; to 

 raise leaslt-s than it does corn ; there is no danger of the 

 frost injuring them. I raise from 1.50,000 to ;Ol),OUO to 

 the acre— they are worth this year, |;1 50 per thou.sand; 

 some years they are worth $:? 00 a fiousand I raised 

 two acres of them this year ; at the present prices the 

 profit p.'r a re is from $-^-2.'5 00 to .f300 00 ; when they 

 command $:5 00 per tlnmsand the profit is from .f 150 00 

 to $000 00, which is giving five or six fold more profit 

 than can possibly be made from corn. 1 generally give 

 away the seed."
