DIsoN'S SOVEREIGN TOBACCO
IL ANTIDOTE.
/ would respectfully call the attention of all
suffering from the injurious effects of Tobacco
to my preparation of
Rison's Sovereign Tobacco Antidots,
which is warranted to remove the desire for
Tobacco in any form. 1t is purely vegetable as
will be seen from the certificate below, and is
of great benefit to Dyspeptics.
A trial is all that is asked, and if it does not
do what we claim for it the money will be re
turned. Prepared only by

low Many Cabbages to the Acre.

~ - eE avs ~
The great cabbage growers about
New York city generally calculated
upon 10000 heads por acre, allowing
four superficial feet to each plant,
which gives the surplus Of 5000 feet
for missing plants. We suppose the
crop may average FIVE cents q head,
giving $500 an acre, which consider
ing it is a second or third crop of the
season, affords a pretty good turn,
Cabbages often follow peas, with
which radishes or lettuce has been
grown; and ground from which an
early crop Of potatoes has been taken
is often planted with late cabbages.
The soil for this crop must be rich
and manure used unsparingly. The
gardeners prefer rotation for this
crop, though cabbages have been.
known to grow upon the Same spot a
dozen years in succession. Near a
city there is no doubt about the pro.
titabloness of tho crop; and is a valu-
ablo1one for food for cattle and sheep.
II increases the flow of milk; but does
not improve the quality. Irrigation
is valuable where cabbages are grown
rs they require a vast quantity of wa
ter rs well as manure, with deep
tiliage and thorough cultivation.

Ruta Baga TurnipS.

A correspondent Of one of our ex-
changes says that on the ground
where be raises early potatoes he
grows a crop OF ruta bagas the same
year. About the 18th of July he
throws the ground into ridges by
turning two burrows together, max
ing the rows two feet apart. He
plants in drills on the ridges, using
two pounds Of seed per acre. When
the plants are about three inches high,
he thins them our, leaving the turnips
from four to six inches apart. Ruta
bagas will yield from 25O to 500
bushels to the acre.

A correspondent OF the Canada
Farmer gives the result Of his exper-
rience in using salt as = fertilizer for
wheat. lie says
Last spring | thought | would try
it, and bought six barrels, and APP
piled one barrel to the acre, on three
acres of Genesee Club spring wheat /;
at the same time | sowed half a bar
rel across five acres ofwheat in anoth-
or place. Now for the result, The
three acIe s shot out five days before
tho Same variety sown side by side
on the same day, and the strip across
the fold l can see us plainly as if the
one was wheat and the other oats,
The reason | applied salt to the clab
wheat was this | have been troubled
with the straw breaking, and salt is
highly recommended to stiiTen the
straw Whether it will or not l can
not say yet, but can say that the
wheat l sailed keeps far ahead Of the
rest. However, by harvest, | win be
able to tell you if it keeps tho stalk
bright and stiff and if the wheat will
ripen sooner"
