How the Celebrated Dutch CaulifoWers
are Grown

A German newspaper, the Landwirthschaft-
lches Centralblatt, gives the following as the
method by which the Dutch obtain their caul-
flowers, so famous for size and delicacy. In
the autumn they dig deep some ground that
has not been manured at the beginning Of
May they SOW the large English caulifower
upon bed of manure, and cover il with straw
mats at night. When the young plants are
three or four inches high, they harrow the
ground that had been prepared the autumn
before, and with wooden dibble Is inches
long, they make holes about 10 deep, at
proper distance apart, and enlarge them by
working the dibbIe round until the hole at
the top is about inches in diameter. They
Immediately fill these holes with water and
repeat this three times the same day. In the
evening they fill them with sleeps dung, leav-
ing only room enough for the young plant,
which they very carefully remove from the
bed Of manure and place in the hole with
little earth. Directly afterwards they give
them a good watering, and as soon as the sun
begins to dry them, they water them again.
When the head is forming, they plnck off
some of the lower leaves of the plant, and use
them to cover the head.

SUBSTITUTION OF MOLESKIN FOR LEATHER
Some time ago the Scientific American directed
attention to this subject, stating that some use
ful substitute for leather would be u most yalu
able Invention to the community. owing to it's
scarcity and increasing price. We notice in q
late European exchange, that prepared mole
skin (thick cotton twill, with a nap) has been
substituted, to a large extent, in France. for
calf-skin leather in the upper of shoes. and this
arrested further advance in the price of upper
leather In this country. In our own mark cts
the price of leather has, till now, kept steadily
Increasing. The principal cause of this, we are
told; has been drain upon hides, from our
markets to those of France, Germany, and
England. AT present the side appears to begin
to ebb, as regards the price of soie-leather, but
not OF fine calf-skins, employed for uppers on
boots, nor is it expected that the price will fall

Sheepskin leather, half tanned, thin as wraD-
ping paper, and almost as tenGe-, has been
used as substitute for it, while coarse paper,
OF most wretched description, is EMPLOYED for

OF such materials, cannot withstand the action
OF the water, rain penetrates them nearly as
freely as through blotting paper, and, to use
common but appropriate term, 'they have no
wear in them Some substitute for such ma
terial would be of great importance for the
cheap shoes of children and youth especially
girls. The adoption of strong moleskin for this
purpose, as in France, would be improvement
and we therefore suggest its use; it is cheap.
