assistant by T bridgeman bridgeman new york beets deets in their several varieties are bien nial and the best blood colored are much cultivated for the sake of their roots which are excellent when cooked and very suitable for pickling after bein being boiled tender they also when sliced m make a beautiful garnish for the dish and the young plants are an e excellent substitute for spinach the mangel mangei scarcity and yellow turnip beets are cultivated for cattle domestic animals eat the leaves and roots with great avidity they are excellent food for swine and also for cows and possess the quality of making them give a large quantity of the best flavored milk A small bed of the earliest turnip rooted and other esteemed kinds of beets ma may y be bd planted in good rich early ground the first week of april which being well attended to will produce good roots in june draw drills a foot apart and about two inches deep drop the seed along the drills one or two inches from each other and corer cover them with the earth when the plants are up strona strong thin them to the distance of six or eight inzes inches from each other in the rows the ground should be after afler afterwards wards hoed deep round the plants and kept free from weeds if the planting of beet seed for general crops be delayed until may or june the roots will be much larger and better than those from the earliest planting which from being frequently stunted in growth by the various changes of weather become tough stringy and of unhandsome shape in cise case case of failing crops beet seed planted the first week in july will sometimes produce large handsome roots which may be preserved fo for winter use the most suitable brownd for beets is that which may have been well for previous crops and would require no fresh manure provided it be well pulverized it is always best to thin beets bets while young if the tops are used as a vegetable they tiley should not be left too lono long long iong for this purpose or they will gre greatly atly injure the roots of ort oft those liose that are to stand beds that are to stand through Ii the summer should be kept clean by repeated ho lioci einns elnas nes neg and the roots intended for winter whiter use should be taken up in october or early in november and stowed away es as d directed in the calendar for those months allowing beet seed to be planted on the gardening plan it will require at the rate of ten pounds for an acre of land which is two pounds and a half for a rood and one ounce for every perch pole or rod if cultivated on tile he field system one half the quantity of seed will be sufficient or even less if sown regular if it be an object with the gardener to save hs his seed lie he may plant two or three seeds in each spot where a plant is required and thin then them as before directed it may be necessary to add that one ib lb of beet seed will measure about two quarts and as each capsule contains four or five small seeds thinning out the surplus plants is indispensable to the production of good roots ts rif r IF aba asa ae a gardener sc edsman and florist horist mr Brid gemans works comment for themselves and as he has made his experiments at new york which is about the tiie same latitude as G great reat salt lake city v we c know of no better information to communicate on the culture of the beet than the above anif and as there are few or no necessaries or luxuries of life more needed in the vallies of the mountains than sugar and molasses we feel dasi rous of attracting attention to the culture of the beet some may be bisp ased to ne neglect 1 act sowing this season reason because they have not the french sugar seed but all kinds of beets will make sugar and molasses though the white or french is r more easily clarified and therefore preferred we have been presented ditl a specimen of molasses and vinegar J manufactured by beach blair from the beet and we believe from the blood beet which certainly would be an excellent substitute for the sugar molasses and cider vinegar for culinary purposes could we have enough of it though it is not to be supposed that an establishment entirely new wi will eli ill produce the best samples though the manufacturers skill be ever so perfect mr beach informs us he be has made some sugar but it is now too late in the season as the beets have begun to grow for seeding hence molasses and vinegar only can be made from the beets now on hand let the citizens of deseret sow all the beet seed they can and not be in too great haste as seeds sown too early in this valley have chilled while young and gone to seed the same year let those who want to eat sweet cake and pocket their gold put th the e beet seed in tile the earth and take care of it ED MANURE from 20 to 40 years since the new settlers in the western states endured great trouble and expense to cast their manure into the creeks and rivers so that they might have the privilege of imparting guano and bone dust from fore foreign i countries to sustain the so soil soll il they are now cultivating and the citizens of deseret may soon have the privilege of cultivating as poor peor land as they could find in any country if they dont stop their manure if our friends will take good counsel they will save every tiling thing possible in the form of manure apply it to their lands and not only keep them good but improve them if their straw hay chat chaff weeds am are not sufficiently rotted for use pile the same and let them lie over for lor another year anday attending strictly to these things and MINDING YOUR TOCK OWN BUSINESS BUSINE you may get getrich rich the brethren who are corr coir I 1 ing west will do well to bring all the I 1 tug they can from the lake situated about

eisfelt by the exceedingly small nerves which pervade the thin membrane which connects the enamel and the bony part of the tooth such an effect cannot be produced without injuring the enamel true it will become hard again when the acid his has been removed by the fluids of the mouth just as an egg shell that has been softened in this way becomes hard again ogain by being put in the water when the

evening picayune of nov has the following remarks on the subject CHOLERA there can be no doubt that this terrific disease is gradually increasing in the great proportion of cases a fatal termination ensues on its first appearance it was judged expedient by the city authorities that the whole truth should be made known to the public as the best means of preventing unnecessary and dangerous alarms but since then no mode has hag been instituted for ascertaining the detail of cases daily occurring by which the actual progress and character of the disease can be satisfactorily shown it is well known that tile the road leading from town towards the cemetery is constantly travelled by night as well as by day by carts loaded with the dead we doubt if there be another city of the size and
