MISOEILANEOUS.

Psasiurs rou I-Icoas.— One of the things which I consider well settled, and a reliable and useful item of ltncwled e, is this: that pursnips, either raw or coo cd, but preﬁ'cr- rable cooked, with the addition of apples,

otatoes, &c., occasionally, were it only to prevent the appetite from being cloyed by “eternal sameness,” constitute the best kind of food whereon to fatten a hog. They are also the best kind of roots for milch cows. Both hogs and cows eat them will. avidity, and to the milk and butter tlu-_~.- communicate a good, delicious ll.ii'or. l have seen it stated some yezii-s ago, that beefmudc from arsnips bi-lugs tile lIlgl:i‘5l. price in the Ilondon market. I think, though I may be deceived by imagination, that pork made from feed chieﬂy composed of parsnips, is sweeter than when made from any thing else. This is not the only recommendation which may be justly bestowed on the parsnip. Among its other

ood qualities is this—that it requires no cure or housing in the fall, as all other roots

0. In all the Middle, Northern, and Western States, potatoes, carrots, and turnips, must be harvested and housed, or buried; and even when all this is done, and with good care and judgment too, it portion wil be frequently ruined and lost by frosting, overheating, or decay Irom other causes. Pnrsnips, on the other hand, re- quiring no care in the fall, may be let} without injury in the ground all winter.

hey may also be planted early in the spring, as the frost does not injure them, even at the earliest stage of their growth, so that this crop interferes the least of any

farmer in the spring and fall. It continues to grow through the whole season, until the ground freezes in winter; it requires no expenditure to gather or store it; it may be taken up on several occasions during the winter, and the roots that stay in the ground all winter, are not injured, and probably improved by the frost. Parsnips seem to be eaten with more relish than either tur- trips or potatoes, and yield, in the raw state at least, a greater amount of nutriment. Another advantage in cultivating pursnips is, that on is suitable soil—sand or loam, rich or well manurcd and deep ploughed- n large growth may be secured. At the

rate of 1200 bushels have been gathered from one acre of ground. Parsnips may be planted either in spring, or in the latter part ofsummcr, say in August or Septem- ber. The ground should be well manured, mellow, and deeply ploughed, and the seed sown in drills, so as to have plants to thin out, while preserving them at about eight inches apart. This will probably require at about the rate of two pounds of sec to the acre. The drill: should be two feet apart, and the space he- ﬁtwocn well cultivated and kept clear of ‘Needs; if sown in spring, the earlier the better. A large growth may be secured, however, by sowing the seed in September. There will be some considera- ble growth before the ground freezes up, and the growth will commence again as soon as the frost leaves the ground in the spring, which will con- tinue throughout the whole season, of about twelve months; whereas, when sown in the spring, they can grow only eight or nine months. the advantages of this root crop have not yet been named. Among them are these—that they seem uninjured by either a wet or dry season. and that no insect or bug attacks them at any stage ot

Tm: Eivousii Lsnousoa.—Tbe words of the English language are a compound of several foreign languages. The English language may be looked on as e compila- tion, both in words and expressions, of va-

lrious dialects. Their origin is from the ‘Saxon lan uage. Our laws were derived 9 from the Norman, our military terms from lthe French, our Scientiﬁc names from the Greek. and our stock of nouns from the Latin, through the medium ofthe French. Almost allthe verbs in the English langu e are taken from the German, and neary every noun or adjective is taken from other dialects. The English language is com- posed of I5,734 words, ofwhich 6732 are from Latin 4312 from the French, I665 from the Saxon, I168 from the Greek, 69] from the Dutch, 2ll from the Italian, I06 from the German, (riot includin verbs,) 90 from the Welsh, 75 from the anish, 56 from the Spanish, 50 from the Icelnndic, 34 from the Swedish, 3| from the Gothic, I6 from the Hebrew, 15 from the Teutonic, and the remainder from the Arabic, Syriac, Turkish, Portuguese, Irish, Scotch, and other languages.
