CABBAGE AND COMMONWEALTH cab
hage requires deep rich mellow soil, and
working. If these requirements
are met, and good seed obtained, there is no
difficulty in obtaining good solid heads
For early use, the plants should be started
in II hot-bed or cold-irame, but seed for
winter cabbage should be sown in seedbed,
early in the spring. Some varieties seem TO
do best if the seed is sown in hills where
they are TO remain, and this is particularly
the case Will tie Marblehcad varieties
Sow two or three seeds where each plant is
desired and then pull but the strongest.
When a seed-bed is made in the open ground,
instead Of selecting a warm situation, choose
Il cold damp place, on the north side of II
board fence. as here the black fly will not
trouble the plants, and they will come early
enough for winter cabbage OF cauliilower,
for we have often found the early varieties
treated in this way to form fine flowers dur.
ing the cold, damp weather Of autumn
Caulillower requires very rich soil, an,
plenty of water, and the earth should b.
drawn well towards the stems, especial,
late in the season, when the flower is abou
10 form.

LECTURE n the INsrIrrrL.-The Scientific |
Lecture Room Of the Institute had very lntelli-
gcntand appreciative, though not large, audience,
Friday evening, to listen to the first Lecture II the
course by Professor Cunning. The Professor
said in substance -
The meeting Of Dalton and La Place. the man
of atoms and the man of stars, had inauglratcd
u new epoch in the history Of science. Tic little
intcrprets the great and the history of creation de-
cphcrcd from one sphere is the decphcrcd law Of
all spheres.
The Professor described section OF the earth
cut down TO the core. There are two classes Of
rocks those arraycd in layers and those which are
massive or crystalline. The last are represented
| in granite They are the oldcst--the foundation
| rock of the globe The Professor showed by
chemical experiments how granite was made 1t
was made by burning. Granite Is only cinler.
| When granite was afamc the whole was ailane.
Here then was the starting point. The earth was
once sun. In cooling it crusted over with
granite. Experiment shows that molten globes
cool slowly and cool from without. A learned
German, after u series of experiments, estimates
that for our earth to have cooled down from a
molten sphere 10 point low enough to hold wa
ter would have required about $780, 600 years |!
All the oceans were here from the beginning, ss-
pended above the world and held in tho atmos-
pherc. great fire above formed tile water.
1t also itself is mere cindcr from the hotter
burning than The Stag Of the furnace.
The Professor sketchcd the history of n cool
ing sphere and showed how ii would be yeincd by
rnetals wrinklcd into mountains tortured by
, earthquakes and volcanoes. lie then showed
that our earth does not stand alone, no NOR,
t in time than space. Our fortunes are linked
b with the sun and stars. He showed by II copy O
the rainbow that the sun is composed essentially
: Of the same clements us the earth So the star
y beam had shown us how the stars were made
Ii The globes are under one law in lime they ar
Il one IN thcil origin, one in the elements Of wicl
i they Were wrought.
n The lecture was finely Illustrated and held tn
l. closest attention Of the audience for an hour.
d Al the close of the lecture DIR. Askew was calle
(, to the Chair and Mr.. j. 7. Chambers appointc
l. Secretary.
IL The Professor stated that he would Give six lee
in lures, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings of tn
next three weeks, provided the audience wishe
n, him to do so.
" On motion Of Prof Hardness, il was resolved
&c That the thanks of She meeting be given to Pro
Cunning forhis very able and instructive lecture
IL That this meeting request the Professor to gi,

Two-oR TEN PER CENT on INVESTMENTS
1t is estimated that the property invested
in agriculture does net pay over two per
cent interest annually. This may he near
the truth for the whole country The pro-
perty embraces vast tracts of wild land that
pay nothing, and in the southern parts of
the country large districts that are barely
scratched by the plow, paying much less
than two per cent. For the northern States
the estimate is much below the truth. There
are, possibly, farmers here who do not get
two per cent. year on the cash value of
their farms, yet we think them rare. There
are others who make their farms pay seven
per cent. and more, but these are also ex-
ceptions The farms Of the northern States
probably do not pay much over four per
cent. but this is owing more to the way the r
capital is invested than TO any defect in the
business Full one-half Of this capital is
invested in land that is not used and so does
not pay any interest. If one-half Of man
