SHORT CHAPTERS On Vegetable Culture. CABBAGE. This is one of the most profitable crops t bt is grown by tbe market gardener or trucker, and it is certainly a crop entitled to much consideration in the home garden. It ii vegetable much liked by all classes, and a well grown crop of it is nearly always salable at profitable prices. Local markets may become overstocked sometimes, but it is a crop easily gathered and easily shipped. It is tbe very early crons and the very late oars that are most profitable. The middle crop is usually unsalable, to a great extent. Below the 31st parallel the early crop is ob tained by setting out the plants in Novem ber or early December, and this planting succeeds even as high up as Middle Georgia at least three years out of four when prop erly planted out early in November. This may be called the first planting, the second planting being made the early part of Feb ruary from plant3 raised in cold frames in January. Early maturing varieties, like the M'inningstaul, Early Drumhead, Brunswick and Early Bummer are used for tuese plantings. Tbe late crop is put out iu May from puints grown in April. For this planting varieties like the largo, late Drum head or Flat Dutch are used, and these head from October to December. A splendid variety for southern latitudes is a variety catalogued by a well known .seedsman as the “Horida Header," which heads a little earlier than tbe Drumhead or Fiat Dutch. There are so many different varieties or named sorts it is puzzling to the amateur or inexperienced grower to make a p*roper se lection. There are over a hundred named sorts listed in the American catalogues, but many of these are mere synonyms. There are quite a number of very distinct varieties, however, and it is very important that a proper selection is made, for on this hinges success or failure, especially in our latitude. When a variety is once found that proves sat sfactory it should not be laid aside for untried varieties, merely upon the recom mendation of the introducer or dealer. There are a number of reputable growers of and dealers iu cabbage seeds from whom one may readily secure first-class seeds— true to name and of good quality, and these are the ones that should be patronized on nil occasions. It is never safe to buy seeds from retail commission houses, os a general rule, though there are exceptions, of course. In buying cabbage and onion seed especially one cannot be too particular as to the source from which they are obtained. Some varie t.es sown in our climate and on our ordi nary soils prove almost absolute failures, while others will make most satisfactory cro; s. The early crops of cabbage can tie grown by sowing the seed right where the plants are to grow, but the most common plan is to sow the seed in seed beds or cold frames, for in this manner the plants may to growing while the soil is being properly manured and prepared for the crop, when sown in frames or seed beds in drawing the plants to set out all imperfect ones should be rejected, and only the perfect ones put out. Many will be found, especially when a poor twain of seed is usod, that have imperfect buds, or entirely lacking buds, and these are cot likely to make good hard-head cabbage. The plants should not be allowed to grow too thickly in the seed beds. One had better pay S5 or $lO per pound for a goon strain of cabbage seed, grown from perfect heads, than to accept as a gift seed that have been carelessly grown from imperfect heads or mere stalks. The varieties named above are as good as any for our section, aud doubtless all of these can be had under other names. It is true there are other sorts that will probably give satifaction. The Improved American .Savory is an excellent variety for setting out in the fall for spring use, and it is an excellent sort for winter heading. The Short Stemmed Brunswick is one of the most reliable varieties for heading that we have ever planted lor early summer or late spring use. One need not expect to make a success with cabbage on poor soil. The soil must either be naturally rich or made by suitable manures, and it should be thoroughly pre pared with plow and roller and harrow if the very best results would be obtained. The principal thing is to have the soil well en riched and the cultivation of the crop thorough from tho start. Of course it is equally important to have a good strain of seed. A good crop cannot be made on the best cultivation if a poor strain and poor quality of seeds are used. With rows three feet apart the early varities will make heads on rich soil with good cultivation when set in fifteen to twenty inches in the row. When set this close it will require eight to ten thousand plants per acre. But for the late and large growing kinds not more than five or six tnousand at the furthest should be set in an acre. The plants should be set three by three feet apart or throe by two and a half. There is no crop more beset by injurious insects than the cabbage. What with the many cutwcrms, the green worms and lice and Harlequin bug the growth of the late crop becomes a very difficult thing in some localit.es, and it requires eternal vigilance to protect the crop oftentimes. It is tbe greatest obstacle to successful growing of the late crop with us. Insects circum vented and it is as easy a crop to grow as any when all tho requirements are fully met—to wit: good variety, rich soil and thorough cultivation. 8. A. C. BOMB! EXPERIMENTAL TESTS. Cotton, Corn, Tomatoes, Sweet and Irish Potatoes. At the Mississippi Agricultural Experi ment Station the past year extended experi ments with cotton were made. Thirty seven “varieties” (if that term may be used) ■were planted on the first day of May, in rows four feet apart The following brief summary preseuts the most interesting feat ures of the experiments, which may be sus tained or reversed by further tests: The variety that gave largest yield of seed cotton was the “King”—l,27o pounds per acre. (The laud was of medium fer tility, having been in cultivation many years, but some manure had been used on it annually for ten years past.) The variety that gave the largest pro portion of lint was the “Cherry Long Btaple.” The total yield of seed cotton per acre was only 900 pounds, but of this 420 pounds was lint, equal to 46 1 ' per cent. This is about 15 per cent, greater the average of upland cottou. Of the thirty-seven omv cue other variety gave as mucu as 40 ner cent, of lint and that was the “ Petit Gulf,' 1 which yielded 45} j per cent. Both of these verities were grown from seed that were three or four years old, and the director of the experiment suggests the possibility that this may have had some influence in pro ducing such a large percentage of lint. Besides these two the four other varieties that produced the next best results were the “Southern Hope” (1,060 pound per acre), “Extra Early Carolina'' (930 pounds per acre), “Truitt’s Premium” (1,048 pounds), and “Tennessee Gold Dust” (1,020 p lands). The “Dixon Improved,” though producing 1,320 pounds of seed cotton per acre, gave only 352 pounds of lint, a little over 26 per vent. The “Peterkiu” approximates 10 per cent, of lint, bat did not prove as productive as some other varieties. The “Okra” leaf did not make a very good showing. The yield of all varieties was greatly diminished by rot. There were fifteen days ol rainy weather during the month of Sep tember, which caused a large per cent, of the bolls to rot before opening. Good , - • weather might have changed the relative results. j No doubt a careful classification would have shown a number of tuese eo-calied varieties to be “one and the same thing " “a mere distinction without a difference" existing. The nomenclature of cotton is as sadly in need cf revising aud establishment os that of any other plant, and we hope to ?ee the day when the reckless and unwar ranted multiplication of names will be put an end to and the anomaly of one plant having a score of names continue no longer to exist—when “Wihtes Wonderful” and I " Brow '?’ 9 Superb" and “Black’s Champion Prolific" and "Green's Marvel" will appear under the simple aud legitimate title, "Early Cluster," and remove forever the annoyance and confusion that attend on having scores of different names for the same thing. It must be stopped, if possi ble, and we believe that time will show that it is possible. CORN TESTS. The same station gives us the results of a trial of fifty-eight “varieties" of corn, made to determine their relative yield and value. W e abstract the following as embracing tho instructive points relating thereto: The six varieties commended as the best are Moaby’s “Prolific," Cocke’s “Prolific" Minters “Prolific,” “Mammoth,” “Sur prise," Baily and Evans. The latter two are yellow, the rest white. Tho largest yield was with Mosby’s, which produced C>3 l bushels per acre. Next to this came the Cocke with 55' , and the Minter third, with fifty-four bushels. Tho Flint varities of corn do not give satisfaction, being unsuited to the locality, apparently. The experiments of lbß9 aud l'i'A) seem to point conclusively to the fact that the white varieties are considerably more productive than the yellow, though the Baily Yellow Dent and the “Improved Beaming" yielded crops of over fifty bushels per acre. Speaking of the relative productiveness of the two kinds, the experimenter goes on to say that the results obtained, both here and at other stations, are contradictory to the prevailing ideas in regard to the com parative yields of the white and colored varieties, but they agree so closely with each other and with the results obtained during several years at the Missouri Agri cultural College that we believe them to be correot. We are not aware that attention has ever been called to this point before. Asa rule, the yellow varieties make larger ears, but we have found very few which average more than one ear to the stalk. Of those varieties noted as being the best six, the white averaged 127 ears to 100 stalks, while the yellow varieties bore only 105 ears to 100 stalks. The ears of white corn are usually smaller than those of the yellow varieties, but the greater number more than compen sates for their smaller size and so makes a heavier yield per acre. It is probably true that the yellow varieties stand up tetter in the field, and are less liable to rot when left in tbe held until late in the season. What differences exist iu the feeding values we are unable to say, but large numbers of chemical analyses made at the New York experimental station and the United States department of agriculture indicate no ap preciable differences. The North Carolina experiment station made tests of some of the leading vegeta bles the past year with the result of com mending tbe following varieties of toma toes: The “Peach” was found to be very productive and valuable for farm use, but too small and soft for a shipping tomato. It is the sweetest of all tomatoes and stands the hot sun better than most other varie ties. Tbe “Golden Queen” (or Golden Sunrise), recommended as the best of the yellow kinds —large, smooth and solid, fine for slicing raw. The “Green Gage” was found to be un usually productive. The “Atlantic Prize” is recommended as the best early sort. The ‘'Brandywine” and “Optimus” are commended as promising 6orts, especially for canning. Of potatoes—The “Rural New Yorker No. 2,” “Puritan,” “Pearl of Savoy." “Van guard” were found to be the most promis ing forts for early use and market. Of the many varieties tested the “Early Rose” was the most unproductive. The “Early Ohio” is as any of the above, though in this experiment not quite so productive. Some tests were made also with sweet potatoes, but owing to the confused state of the nomenclature of this vegetable the teachings of the experiment are not very satisfactory. Some thirteen or more named sorts were planted, but as these names, in many cases, are only local names, it is diffi cult to distinguish the variety referred to. The “Hayman” was found to be the moat productive, and the director regards this name ns synonomous with “Southern Queen,” Bahamas and “Yam.” The “Bar bados” and “Norton Yam” is said to be the most popular variety fa the Raleigh market for home use, and the kinds known as Vir ginia Nausemond and “Red Nose” are re ported as the most profitable kind for ship ment north. Someone or the other of our southern ex perimental stations should take hold of the sweet potato and make a special study of it. We need a scientific classification aud weed ing out of all unnecessary names, and a de velopment of new varities from the seed. The station that will undertake this work and develop it as it should be will do a great service to the southern farmer. Breeding Dp Common Poultry. Very probably, the progressive farmer has often thought of the subject of improv ing the quality of hisflockßof fowls, as well as his herds of horses and cattle, says the Ohio Farmer. If he has never before con sidered it, it is certainly high time that ho soould, for has it not been proved, time and again, that poultry pays better than any other farm stock, when the capital invented is taken into consideration? And surely, if this be true, anything we can do to render the fowls more prolific or more substantial in carcass, will redound to our profit, as truly as in the case of any other Bpecies of live stock. Poultry writers almost invariably advise the use of thoroughbred breeding stock ex exclusively; but, while this is a very good way, indeed, to reap the benefits of pure blooded stock, and perhaps the best, yet it is not the only way. By resorting to a practice known as “grading,” by the use of blooded males, a common, mongrel flock of fowls can. in a few years, be made to ex hibit in a marked degree the good qualities of thorougnhreds. Good blooded stock at present commands more money than many farmers are willing to pay, especially if they are somewhat skeptical in regard to the intrinsic worth of the same. Tbis is partic ularly true of stock that is “up” in fancy points, but most every fancier has a number of male birds that are not “up” but rather “off,” and these are the ones that are for sale at prices little above the usual market value, and are just suited to the needs of the farmer. Of course no really mean cull should be bred from, just because he bears the name of a distinct breed. He must be fully developed, physically, and show stamina and strength of constitution. He should have bright red comb, clear bright eye, be sprightly and active in his beariug, and exhibit in a fair manner the practical qualities of the breed he represents. To mate with a pure-blooded cock of the above description, let the farmer select a dozen 2-year-old hens, possessing as near as may be, uniformity of size and general make-up. This uniformity is very desirable, that the treatment suited to the nature of one indi vidual of the flock may be equally adapted to another. The trouble is, where fowls, large and small, heavy and light, comprise a single flock, the food calculated to keep one bird healthy and prolific would render an other very fat and unprofitable. In breeding up a flock of fowls it is very essential to use only pure males. On no ac count must the result ot the cross be used. One plan is to select one single breed of pure-bred fowls, that seems to the breeder to be most suited to bis own particular needs, using pure males ot this variety alone. | THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. ABRIL 20. 1891. In this case, each successive generation of the produce will exhibit more and more the characteristics of the pure breed, and in time the stock will become essentially thor oughbred, and the eye of an expert judge of poultry will scarcely detect the line of descent. Another plan is to use a male bird, first of one variety and then of an other, at.d so on, the breeder selecting the cock from the breed that he considers most calculated to benefit his own stock. If it is desired to make egg production of first con sideration, it would perhaps be well to choose a Leghorn male or, if preferred, a Hamburg or Bpani>b, and breed to the same repeatedly. If both eggs and meat are highly valued and that, too, in about equal ratio, it wiil be quite satisfactory to breed first from a so-called egg breed, and then a meat breed. Thus, we may reasonably expect many of the good qualities of each to he perpetuated in the offspring. In conclusion, I would earnestly urge this matter to the attention of those who have never kept anything but “mongrel” fowls. Blood will always surely tell. Making the Moat of Fertilizers. It is not every kind of crop, says the Boston Cultivator, that will pay for the artificial manures known as commercial fertilizers. Much also depends on the man agement of land otherwise. They are gen erally used up in the first year, or what re mains is so locked up that it is practically nearly worthless. But by applying such fertilizers to grain crops, seeded with clover in the spring, a part of the fertility goes into the clover plant, and is thus continued into activity a second and even a third year. For, as has been taught by carefully con ducted experiments, clover roots have the power, when supplied with elements to start growth, of using atmospheric nitrogen to continue it. There is good reason to believe that this disintegration of air iu the soil liberates its carbonic acid gas, and thus helps to render phosphates aud other mineral plant food soluble, so that they can be taken up by the roots of crops. Whether this theory be correot or other wise, there ca be no doubt of the practical fact that seeding with clover every time manure is applied to the land is the best means of maintaining fertility. This is especially true of the mineral manures, which used alone tend to constantly reduce tho vegetable matter in the soil, and thus lock up its mineral fertility quicker than would otherwise be possible. The roots of clover when the plant attains full growth add several tons of vegetable matter per acre, and they decay rapidly when the ground is plowed so that the top no longer can grow. Most of this root is drawn from the sub soil and from the atmosphere, and as it de cavs it furnishes the soil with the carbonic acid gas that is needed to make and keep phosphate soluble. Thus the olover and the mineral manure mutually supplement each other. Each gives what the other most most lacks, and by these two combined, fer tility may be indefinitely maintained. If phosphate or other mineral fertilizer be applied to land destitute alike of clover or vegetable matter in any form it will do little good. The failure of these fertilizers on sandy or gravelly soil is usually thought to be due to lack of carbon in the soil to de compose, and thus keep the mineral in con dition for use, In such case using the min eral iu connection with stable manure is much better than either one alone. Clover should be sown at once cm such land, and a mixture of phosphate, potash and stable manure, even though a lighter dressing per acre will often secure a clover catch on land where clover has not been able to grow for years. In every case we find that abundant seeding with clover at every opportunity is a necessary plan in providing judiciouß use of fertilizers of any kind. The clover in sures that part of the fertility applied shall, be retained on the land, instead of being sold off tty exhaustive cropping. Points on Ducks. Ducks do not need as much water as many suppose, says Annie C. Webster in tbe American Cultivator, and they may be raised on farms where there is no pond or rnnning water. A good substitute is to build a system of wooden troughs, which should be kept full of water at all times. Let the ducks have free access to these troughs, and they will never suffer from the lack of water. Such troughs can be made deep and wide enough for the birds to swim about, and they will then answer the pur pose as weil as any expensively made pond or creek. If they are to be raised on a very large scale, howewr, it may be more profit able to have a pond dug, for nature will keep this supplied with water at all times. The best of keepers would fail to keep the troughs full if several large flocks had ac cess to them. A few ducks may bo raised very well with the hens, and no disturbance will be made by either birds. The ducks are great horns lovers, and if accustomed to go into their pen at night they will always remember the lesson. If confined the ducks will consume more food than tbe hens, but if allowed to forage tbgy may he raised even cheaper. In confinement they are not so annoyiug as hens, for they wiil not scratch nor fly over fences, and they are very seldom attacked by disease. Their food must be attended to regularly, and besides animal ami green food they should have worm* fed to them daily. Wood charcoal must also be given to them with their food to preserve their health. The best way is to let the ducks forage for themselves in the day time, and them to come to their own pen at night. Treat them kindly and they will soon ao this. The ducklings need great care and attention, and na they grow faster than ohicks they are ready for market in eight or ten weeks. A quiet, motherly hen should be kept to watch and tend them. They should be fed often with more meat than is given to chicks, and they need to be kept warm and dry. A variety of food is relished by them, and they will devour parings of vege tables or fruit and scraps from tho tatde with remarkable avidity. Feathers can be plucked from them several times a year if they are needed. HOW HE WON HIS BRIDE. A Newspaper Man Helps a Friend to Get the Girl Ee Loved. From the Chicago Post. "For helping a fellow in distress,” said a rich New Yorker to a reporter while dining at the Richelieu last evening, “commend me to a newspaper reporter. Let the meshes in which you may find yourself be never so tangled, he can, if he will, and he wiil if he thinks you de serving of his assistance, extricate you with a dexterous ease. You know my visit here was to secure the consent of the parents of my sweetheart to our marriage. They looked upon our engagement with ap proval. hut Claire is young and a couple of years should be added to her age, they think, before we marrv. "Now, to my mind,” the young man con tinued, as he stabbed a Blue Point, trans ferred it to his mouth and pushed bis plate aside, “procrastination is not only the thief of time, but of happiness as well. I tried by letter writing to bring her parents to my way of thinking. But I failed, and so I came on to personally plead my cause, but with no better result. They were obdurate, and, though my sweet heart and I supplicated them in duets, it was of no avail. You mav Im agine my despair. I was at the bottom, and war about to give up and return heme, when I ran against an old friend of tpine, a member of the local staff of one of the daily papers. He ooticed that I was down In the mouth, and though by evasive repliee I en deavored to hide the truth from him, he managed by a little skillful questioning to obtain the whole secret. “ ‘You really must have the girlf he then asked me. "I replied in tbe affirmative. “ ‘And you want to marry her now?’ “I nodded. “ ‘Consider.’ he said, wtrningly.’ you will bid adieu to the liberty you now enjoy when at the altar ycu _eeure the minister’s bless ing.’ “I told him I was perfectly willing to bid adieu to it. He locked at me a moment and said: “ ‘You shall have her parents’ consent in less than a fortnight.’ "Before I could ask him what he meant he •lipped his arm through mine, aud as we walked along said: " ‘Listen, and I will to you a plan unfold that shall gaiu for you your ladylove.’ “You may rest assured I listened. “ ’See the young lady,’ he said, ‘and tell her to obey your instructions strictly. Is she blessed with a good appetite*’ *‘ I said she was. "‘Good,’said he. 'And has she a rosv complexion ?’ “I nodded. “‘Good again” he exclaimed. ‘Tell her to-morrow tint you intend to leave in the morning for New York, and that immedi ately you are gone you want her to coutract a severe esse of despondency. " ‘Tell her to refrain from eating any thing at meal times—let her eat in her room unbeknown to her parents, with tho aid of her maid. Hor parents will think nothing of it at first, hue they will s on begin to worry, particularly as h r appetite has been good. To their inquiries she must reply that nothing is the matter. “ ‘Bid her remain indoors and to take no exercise, and the bloom in her otieeks will disappear. Tell her to talk only when necessary. In a week she will, in the eyes and imaginations of her parents, betrav a certain evidence of going into an early grave. The doctor will, of course, be called and he will prescribe. But that won’t help her. “ "To all her parents' inquiries as to the cause of her decline she will simply shako her head sadly and reply that nothing is tho matter. Her chum—l suppose she has one will be questioned. She will, having been coached bv your sweatheart, tell the reason. The parents will have suspected it all the time; but this revealing of their daughter’s heartache by her trusted chum will con vince thorn that the only cure will be their consent to the marriage. " ‘They will debate a little,’ my news paper friend concluded as t;e shook my band at parting, ‘but only a little, and then you will receive a telegram from them to come.’ “That was two weeks ago.” the young man oontlnued. “The plan seemed lo contain n promise, and I did as he told me.” “And with what success!” asked his com panion. Tho young man flicked a crunch from the cloth. His lips parted iu a smile. “We shall be married this month." MEDICAL. CURE SCROFULA With Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This dispaso may well he termed “the curse of civ ilization.” Whether hereditary or ac quired, scrofula poisons the blood, en feebles the constitution, causes con sumption, catarrh, glandular swellings, ulcers, sores, and troubles in numerable. Fortunately, there is a remedy for this evil. By tho persistent use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, all traces of scrofula may lie eradicated. Henry Brandt, Avoca, Nebr., certi- 1— itios: “For years I suf- MAjt fered from scrofula, till V¥ III/ I began the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, since which the disease has entirely disappeared. A child of mine was also cured by the same remedy.” “I was a sufferer, for years, from scrof ula and blood diseases.
