The man who finds it ‘‘cheaper to buy vegetables than to raise them” usually does without. The garden for family use is one of the economies as well as luxuries of farm life which we cannot afford to dispense with, and a little work with the team read- s things so that a woman of average health will find it easier and more healthful to do the rest than to do the extra baking which lack of variety in vegetables requires. Cabbage is considered an especially hard vegetable to grow, ‘‘a woman's back being entirely unfitted for hoe- ing.”” Granted, but it is not neces- sary to do any hard hoeing. She can do all the hand work necessary and gain strength by it. It will bring her out into the fresh air, the communion with birds and blossoms, the rest from pétty vexations of the kitchen. She can’t care for a thousand or two head for market; it is not her place to try it, but she can do the hand work in a patch large -enough for iamily use. ct a plot in rectangular form, 1g in rows three f« or more apart, and keep the soil light and ; trom weeds until the planis get e to permit it by running a cultivator between the A woman can easily follow be- hind, dislodging any dirt which may nave fallen upen a plant, and firming ithe loose earth up about eaeh hill. Soil for cabbage can scarcely be made too rich. Newly plowed soil well fertilized with barnyard manure or poultry droppings is excellent, and not likely to be infested with elub root. Good garden soil, or any light soil properly enriched, promises a good return. Topdress before plow- ing. Fertilize additionally in . the hill, and as the summer advances the weekly cleanings from the poultry house may be worked in between the rows to good advantage. This in- sures rapid growth, and plants in this condition give the worms small chance to find an entrance.—Ameri- can Cultivator, rse To Keep Grapes Fresh and Whole. Grapes may be kept fresh and sound until Christmas and even for several months longer by either of the following methods: First—Select round and perfect bunches, carefully picking out ‘any that ave unsoundrand being sure that furnishing a | the grapes are perfectly dry.

Second-—Allow the grapes to hang on vines as long as possible without freezing. Gather them on a cool, dry day, without touching the fruit, handling it entirely by the stems. This is to avoid bruising it. In cut- ting leave the stem as long as pc ble. Pick over carefully, rejecting all soft or imperfect bunches. Pack on the same day they are gathered. Provide large pasteboard boxes with- out a break, or new wooden cheese botes; which ever kind is used must have tight-fitting covers. A supply of dry cork dust will also be needed, says the Agricultural Epitomist. This dust may be purchased at al- most any drug store and is quite in- expensive. It is a non-conductor of heat and resists moisture and is therefore always in perfect condi- tion. Put a layer of the cork dust in the box, then one layer of grapes, another of the dust and so on, not allowing the bunches to touch one an- other. Put on the box covers, tie down securely and keep in a dry cool storeroom or attic. Put up in this way, they will keep in perfect con- dition for months. Third-—Gather perfect from which a single grape has dropped, observing all the precau- tions given above.

Weeds injure the farmer chiefly in two ways. First, by offending his idea of the beautiful. This injury is an important factor in .the value of the land, and, furthermore, it is one that is felt by the whole community. A farm with weeds is not only less valuable itself, but it makes every other farm in the community less valuable: Second, by the crop loss. This is the loss that receives the more common estimate. The farm's profits are lessened in a number of ways, the most important of which are the fol- lowing: Weeds rob the soil of moisture. The amount of water that must be taken up by the roots of any plant and exhaled out into the air through the leaves is enormous. Experiments have shown that for most of the cul- tivated grasses from 300 to 500 pounds of water must actually pass through the plants to produce a sin- gle pound of dry matter. In seasons of drought, when there is scarcely enough moisture to supply the culti- vated crops, it is easy to understand the injury done by the presence of a large number of additional weedy plants. This is doubtless the most important of the weed injuries, for it must not be forgotten that the mois- ture in the soil is the all-important thing. he cultivates his corn and he will say, “to kill the weeds,” when, as a mat- ter of fact, it is, or should de, for the, purpose of conserving the moisture in the soil. The weeds are killed purely as an incidental matter. A perfectly clean corn field needs culti- vating as well as a weedy one. Weeds crowd the cultivated plants, depriving them of light and space in both soil and air. If corn or wheat are planted too thickly they cannot develop properly, because the plants do not get enough sunlight and the roots do not have sufficient feeding | space. Similar results will be appar= ent if the extra plants are weeds. : Weeds rob the soil of food ele-! ments required by other plants. While there is usually more than enough plant food for all plants in’ almost every soil, the amount in a readily available form is limited, and the greater the number of plants’ among which it is divided the slower and less vigorous will be the growth of all. Weeds harbor injurious insects and diseases. The overgrown fence rows and ditches furnish most ideal places for many of these troublesome ene- mies to live through the winter. Weeds sometimes injure by killing farm stock or by rendering their pro- ducts unsalable. Mountain laurel, wild parsnip and a few other plants faund as weeds in certain localities sometimes kill stock outright. Wild onion, a very serious weed in some places, often renders milk and its products unsalable. Weeds render certain products of the farm unsalable. Weeds in hay reduce its value, and the presence of weed seeds in commercial farm and garden seed not ‘only reduces its value, but opens the way for intro- duction of a weed pest into a new lo- cality, from which it can, perhaps, never be epadicated.—Vernon H.
