lATS CABBAOH PLANTS.
It is not nooeaaary for a crop of late
cabbage to atart the plants in a hotbed.
Make a plnoe out doora an rich and
mellow a pomible, bow the aeed in
drills rather thinly, and cover nights
to keep in the heat. It is very im
portant to make a rapid bnt ntocky
growth. This may be done by putting
nitrate of aoda in the drill row and
transplanting eaoh plant oneo if not
more times Wfore finally setting it out
where it is to make a head, rinnts
thus treated are worth donblo those
grown closely crowded in tho matted
bed. Boston Cultivator.
OBOWINO POTATOE8.
To grow potatoes, select the best
soil yon can get, avoiding ground that
is liable to overflow, clear off all the
trash, and if the ground is not very
rich apply a good dressing of well
rotted manure and then plow as deep
as yon can. Then harrow until the
soil is in good condition. Then as soon
as dancer of frost is past plant for
early crop. First of Jnne plant peach
blows. When ready to plant take a
plow and rnn deep furrows three and
cno-half feet apart. Cut your potatoes
in pieces, one or two eyes to the piece,
drop eighteen inches apart iu these
furrows, one piece in a place. Then
take a hoe and cover, putting an inch
of soil over each piece. Cultivate ns
soon as the plants are well Tip and keep
filling in the furrows, and you will not
be troubled with weeds in the rows
and will not need to do any hand
weeding. Cultivate once a week till
they bloom. New York Observer.
THE COW'S CCD.
Tho cow's cud is a quantity of the
food that is brought np from the first
stomach after the food hus been swal
lowed and the animal is resting and
has time to rcmosticate it more com
pletely. Between the first and second
stomachs there is a receptacle, about
five inches long and the size of the
gullet. A portion of the food is pressed
into this part of the gullet and is
brought np into the throat ond month,
where it is chewed slowly. This food
may bo seen ascending tho gullet when
the cow is ruminating. The cud is not
any distinct thing, as some Euppose,
that may be lost, but is simply a por
tion of tho food which comes from the
stomach in the way described. When
a cow is said to lose her end, nothing
is lost or dropped, but by reason of
indigestion the action of the stomach
is suspended, and it is restored as soon
as the trouble is removed by any
simple medicine. The most effective
is a dose of a pint of raw linseed oil or
mcltod lard. New York Times,
FEBTTUZKB8 AJfD OOW-PEAS.
The manner of properly treating and
applying fertilizers is yearly receiving
more consideration among farmers.
On this subject the Georgia Experi
ment Station tells Honthcrn farmers
that tho best results can only be ob
tained from concentrated fertilizers by
UBing them on the best lauds, and not
by scattering them at the rate of 100
or 200 pounds to the acre over a large,
worn-out plantation. Nor should the
mistake lie made of applying large
amounts of concentrated fertilizers on
worn-out land. The larger tho appli
cation the nioro important it becomes
that tho land should be in the best pos
sible condition, such as it would have
.been left in by a good crop of small
grain, with thorough and deep plow
ing and harrowing.
The practice of sowing cow-peas is
strongly urged for renovating the Boil
and for hay. Nitrogen is the most im
portant element of plant food because
it is indispensable to the plant and is
deficient in all worn or partially ex
hausted soils. It is the most uniformly
effective element of a fertilizer for all
grains, grasses and cotton. While the
most expensive, if bought in the mar
ket, it may be drawn from the air by
cultivating such plants as clover, pea
nuts, vetches, burrclover, lucerne and
especially the cow-pea, w hich, if prop
erly utilized, will le more valuable to
the Southern furnier than rod clover
has been to the farmers of the North
and West. New York World.
BMrEDDJO SOWS.
A sow that is a good breeder should
bo kept for several years, or until she
forms some bad habit, of which unruli
ness and eating her young are the two
that give most trouble. When the sow
gets her full growth her litters will be
larger healthier and more uniform,
often without a single titman. In tho
first litter, eHpecially, if tho sow be a
young one, there will be two and
sometimes as many as three pigs that
are either dead at birth or are so un
dersized that they are not worth rais
ing. A three or four-year-old sow,

will oftrtii give more profit than an

The chief cure with a breeding sow

ELECTRICITY IN AGRICULTURE.
Attention has recently been directed
to Jjie upplioution of electricity to farm
iug operations, und the de-signing and
introduction of suitublo dyuumo-clec-tric
machinery for this purpose would
no doubt be profitable both to the
manufacturers and the funnci-a. Early
in lHUJ, ttu electric power system was
iur-tulh-d at '-he farm of the Agricultural
Ea pci iuK-iit bUtivu, Auburn, Alu., the
current being brought from the college
laboratory by a lino three-quarters of
a milo in length, conducted by the stu
dents themselves. A ten horse power
motor was nsed for ginning and press
ing cotton, t hrashing grain, cutting up
feed stuff, etc., and gave entire satis
faction. In every community whete
there is water power, electricity could
be economically generated and used not
only for the above mentioned purposes,
bnt also to run saws, pinning machines,
pumps, lathes, grindstones, older
presses, sorghum mills, churns, sewing
machiues in short, for everything re
quiring power. What farmer would
not welcome the exchange of smoky
lamps for electrio lights? The arc light
may also prove useful in market gar
dening, some recent experiments made
in France having shown that it has a
marked effect in stimulating plant
growth when sunlight is not to be hail.
Where sufficient water power is not
available, windmills might be nsed in
connection with a system of storage
batteries. Such a utilization of the
wasted energies of nature would put off
tho coining of tho coal famine that
threatens future generations. Inven

CULTIVATION OF WILLOWS.
Inqniries are received concerning
the culture and marketing of willows
for baskets and other goods. Notwith
standing the basket willow does well in
this country, five-sixths of the quan
tity consumed is imported from for
eign countries.
The prevailing opinion that only low
land is suitablo for willow cultivation
may be the cause of so little attention
being given to it. Low land is best,
but high land is good. It is certainly
far better than land where there are
stagnant pools or too much water.
For tho growth of willows the land
must be treated similar to that in
tended for tho planting of corn. It
must be plowed in the fall and loosened
np in tho spring. Iho field must be
kept free of grass and weeds.
Tho willow cuttings are planted in
rows twelve inches apart. The rows
should be three feet apart and a culti
oator and hand hoe used to keep down
tho weeds.
Tho plnnts are enttings from two to
three year old willows which are cut
one foot long, measuring three-eighths
to one-half inch in thickness. With a
stick or iron rod holes aro made in the
ground and a cutting introduced so that
one or two buds remain above the
ground. The first year only a few
sprouts will spring from each cutting.
Every year in March the switches are
cnt close to the stem before the sap
shoots into the plants. The switches
are tied in bundles about .ten inches in
diameter and placed in two or three
inches of water, remaining there until
tne latter part of -April until the sap
has risen and small leaves and sprouts
have appeared. This sap looBens the
bark which can be removed very easily
by being drawn through a wooden fork
similar to a clothes pin.
Willows must be dried in the open
air. They are then bundled to weigh
about fifty pounds per bundle. About
30,000 willow cuttings are necessary to
plant an acre. The willow reaches the
greatest production m the third year,
and with proper care and good fertiliz
ing it will continue to yield good re
sults for many years.
Dry peeled willows are worth five to
eight cents a pound, and green willows
with tho bark on them are worth S14
to 818 per ton. Farm, Field and Fire

Tho drink habit Is often quickly and easily
formed. How insidiously it grows upon men.
It steals in upon men as slyly as the fox, and
when It gets a man In Its dill power it
tosses him about like a strong lion. We once
read ot a young rabbit that slipped into a
garden ot cabbages. Tho garden was Inclosed
with a wire fence. The young rabbit had a
good and Jolly time In that garden as he
feasted dally on the luscious onblmge. lie
had heard of the danger of traps and wire
fences, but he did not -seem to see any Im
mediate danger around him, so he concluded
to. remain all summer in that delightful place.
The more he ate ef the cabbage the largor be
grew. He never dreamed that he might grew
too large to get out through the hole he came
in at. lint that was 4ust precisely the danger
that was soon to overtake him. He fattened
dally uiKin the delicious food. He soon be
came as large as a grown rabbit, but the only
hole of escape didn't grow a Ut larger. One
day he heard tho footfall of a uTan coming into
bis garden, and be concluded he would slip
out and disappear In the bushy swamp. So
he ran to the nolo be came In at, and to ! and
behold, his body had grown entirely too
large to squeeze out through It. Now what?

He was caught and killed.
The application to the dram drinker Is easy.
Every dram he drinks is putting up the wire
fence ot the eontirmea habit or urunkQimess.
His appetite is growing insensibly. Like the
rabbit, he has a Jolly time for awhile and
sees no sign of dnngcr. After a while some
thing occurs which alarniB htm about his

HOW WOMEN OCTWITTEO A RCXSELLZR.
It was toward the close of the war, Tho
boys from tho front wero coming homo to
Moore's Hill. Iud. The college "halls thut
had been desertod at the llrt call of the bu
gle were to be peopled again. The town's
llfo was to be taken up again where it had
been left off, and the people had turned face
expectantly to the future, says a correspond
ent oi the commercial liar.ette.
Quick to see that the growth of the collego
meant business opportunity to tho town, at
this very time a man t'stsbllrfhed a saloon in
the place. The news spread through the
village, "a grog-shop hns been opened." You
may Imagine tho sensation that it stirred
grog-shop in Moore's Hill uud the worthy
old president of the college in his catalogue
referring to the community as a moral one,
where "such a thins as a saloon would not bo
tolerated for an Instant." The problems ot
the dark days of the war, tho struggles with
poverty at the hcarthside, equalled only by
those other si ruggles where cannon roared,
bad sharpened the wits and quickened the
wills ot the women ol Moore's Hill. In 't!5
with them to hear was to think, to think was
to act ;and the tlrst customer had scarcely
entered Moore's Hill's new ouloon before the
door was darkened by a woman's hgure.
She was the Bpokesmau for her neighbors
come to buy out the shop, and iu her hand
she held the purchase money.
"But I ain t hero to sell out. I've got to
make a living, and I'm golngto make it. I've
got as much right in Moore s Hill as you
have, nnd money won't make me get out."
Thus spoke the keeper. If the potency of
money had failed to oust him, oue would
oonclude thut the attempt was over, l'.y no
means ! A private meeting was held, where
was" evolved the raost'novel method .of war
fare ever waged by womun against man.
Next morning, before the astonished bar
keeper could interpose, a Ala of solemn
faced, determined women passed through the
door of the saloon, and having arranged
themselves deliberately about the room,
drew out their work bag.i, and adjusted their
sewing caps. A customer now an then strag
gled in al the door. He glanced sheepishly
along the walls at the awful sight thut stored
him in the face, fumbled out a few remarks
about the weather, the crops, and darted out
into the fresh air. The village doctor peered
through the door, and fled over the hills so
fast that, tradition says, the lioys might havo
played nine-pins upon his coat tails. Thus
It went rather, oue should say, thus went
the customers. At noon not a dram ol liquor
hod leen sold. Tho women had determined
to knit the saloou out of town ! Twelve
brought a lresh relay of kulttihg
womeu, but the saloon keeper, poor mat),
bad no relief -force, audi be stood at his pobt
all day long, unassisted. At six In the even
ing the throng of the morning appeared
again ; and the next morning the keeper savr
onee more his friends of the afternoon. Twine
be tried to smoke his unwelcome visitors
away, thriee be tried to lock them in ; but he
always failed. For days theuuoquul eonlll""t
raged. Miuttme, no customer duretl niu
the gauntlet ; business was at a Btuudstill.
The uoedlos Hew uneeasiugly : the widen
stockings grew and grew, aud the suioou
owner unconditionally surrendered. T&e
knitting needle is mightier thun the demi
john, or words to that effect ! Now to make
this narrative ol a local legend romantic, oue
need only add that the despised and persecu
ted, the outwitted und outknitted vendor of
liquors became oue of the best known vud

such is the fact.

take to cover and permit him to descend.
Ho returned to his home, secured tho
services of a hired man and a wagon
and returned for his game. Arriving
at the scene of his adventure, ho was
again set upon by wild hogs. Of courso
he wns snfo in the wagon, but tho

there than elsewhere, because they sold more
goods In their two stores than any other firm
in New York, and that because they sold more
they bought more, and consequently bought
cheaper, I determined, it l ever went to new
York. I would co to Lord & Taylor's.
" That loncr-waitrd-for time came in the
early autumn, and 1 found myself standing
before that great entrance, with those won
derful windows nt either side. I summoned
my courage and entered, as 1 suppose tens of
thousands of just such timid women as I
have done before. M y fears were gone in an
instant. The agreeable attention put me at
my ease at once, and 1 felt as much at home
ns thouch I were in the little country store
where my people have traded lor nearly
ouartcr of a centurv.
" And now. as 1 wear the pretty things 1
purchased, or see them every day and lind
them all so satisfactory, 1 think of my visit
to this great store as the brightest part ol my
trip to New ork.

If some grocers urge another baking
powder upon you in place of the " Royal,"
it is because of the greater profit upon it.
This of itself is evidence of the supe
riority of the "Royal." To give greater
profit the other must be a lower cost
powder, and to cost less it must be made
with cheaper and inferior materials, and
thus, though selling for the same, give
less value to the consumer.
To insure the finest cake, the most
wholesome food, be sure that no substi

Nothing can be substituted for
