Secret of Growing Cauiinower,

l am in the habit of growing caulifowers
for my family and giving few heads annual
ly to friends, some of whom have been
prompted thereby to attempt the culture of
this vegetable, but generally they ''have no
lnck in the business" Now 1 am aware
there are great many who would like to
raise caulifowers if they could only have good
luck enough to succeed, and therefore / am
going to tell them the secret OF success; and
make the lesson easy to be remembered, will
say that three things are essential, each of
them having the initial letter NJ: namely,
manure, moisture, and mulching. Select
ground that is rich and moist if possible; ma
nure it well and then plant at same time and
manner as cabbage: but arrange so that the
row of plants will stand in shallow furrow,
and where there is descent, so that when
water is poured in at one end it will flow
gently to the other, watering each plant in its
course. Then if by mems of a trough or
garden hose water can be conducted to the
spot, from pump or reservoir, all the better.
Or it may be carried, few bucketsful daily,
and poured in at the upper end of the furrow
or still better, pour it into tub or barrel,
having hole or faucet at the bottom from
which the water will flow slowly into and
along the furrow. The caulfower is almost
a water-plant and will only thrive with plenty
of drink; but do not make the mistake of let
ting water stagnate about its roots. Mulch
ing is not SO essential as manure and moist
ure, but in our sunny climate, and where
moisture is likely to he deficient, have found
a mulching of manure on the surface over the
roots of very great advantage. The same is
true of cabbages, which also naturally belong
to cooler and moister climates than ours

Weeds as Wnfer Purifiers.

Mr.. Mechi writes as followers: had re-
Gently striking proof of this. Into my pond
runs stream of % gallons per minute of
fresh water from drain which cut - feet
deep some 80 odd years ago. Weeds will
grow and thrive in this pond, and we have
annually to rake out large quantities of them.
They look very beautiful as they grow in the
pellucid water, which is used for household
purposes. Said a visitor to me one dey, eff
you had a pair OF swans, your pond would be
free of weeds;'' so kind friend presented
me with pair, and very soon they cleared
the pond, pulling the weeds up by the roots
and feeding on them. My family were de-
lighted with the graceful swans and the re-
moval of the weedy distractions to boatin g
but although the pond was free of weeds, the
water was no longer pure and pellucid, but
most decidedly muddy in taste, and when the
steam issued from the kettle, the smell of
mud was unnistakable. Well,no one thought
it could be the swans; but at last l came to
that conclusion, and, despite family and 9TH
er remonstrances, returned them to their
original owner. After short period the
weeds re-appeared, and, as they increased in
bulk, the water gradually resumed its pellu-
cidity and purity.
What the weeds do for the water and its
occupants the land vegetation does for the
air; men, animals, and other living creatures
poison it, while vegetation absorbs the injuri-
GUS gases, and reconverts them into whole
some food and fuel for man and beast, filling
the atmosphere width that precions oxygen
without which men and animals and other
living creatures could no logger exist. We
owe TO the river vegetation much of the puri-
ty of water. 1t is excess of imurities from
our towns which are beyond its powers of
appropriation.

Mr.. J. M. Haynor, near Lebanon, Ohio,
hes drying houses in which last season he
dried the product of about 500 acres of sugar.
corn.
The ears of corn are brought from the field
by wagons, then husked aud put into vat
and steamed for abour five minutes to ''set
the milk" They are then taken out, and
when cool enough to lie handled, ale taken
by women and boys, who cut the corn off
the cobs by showing them over cutters shaped
something like jack-plane turned bottom
up, and having concave face. The corn is
theh spread on large tables formed of tin or
zinc pierced with fine holes, beneath which
the heat is applied from long furnaces in the
basement. On these heated tables the corn
is kept constantly stirred, SO as to prevent
scorching and cause it to dry evenly, which
is accomplished in four or five hours. It is
then cooled, and afterward packed in barrels
of about three bushels each for shipment.
Much care is used to have the corn gath
cred and dried when just at the right age
when it is in the best eating condition-so as
to avoid any toughness of the dried article,
also to have it dried so as to keep well; and
thus good reputation for the article has
been secured and very extensive demand
created. 1t takes about four bushels of the
corn as cut from the cob to make one bushel
when dried, The wholesale price of the
dried corn if from 500 to 1922 per barrel

must be exercised that it does not also ipjure
the plants. A good way to apply the smoke
OF tobacco or Of sulphur to outdoor rose
bushes, so as to confine il to the plant and
prevent he breeze from blowing it away, is
to provide large umbrella, with a long han
die having sharp end below which may be
thrust into the ground. Sew with coarse
stitches wide piece of muslin or sheetng
around the outside or edge of the umbrella
after it is spread, so as TO hang down all
around like curtain, with hoop to stifen
1t at the bottom. In the days of expanded
dresses, the 'crinoline" would have answered
this purpose admirably When wanted TOR
use thrust the sharp end of the handle into
the ground alongside the bush or plant to be
SIN oked, so that the umbrella and its enclos-
ing curtnin may cover the plant, which may
then be fumigated as much as may be desira-
BILE by placing the burning tobacco or sulphur
beneath.
Slugs are destroyed with fresh or caustic
wood ashes, briskly busted on them in the
dew of the morning, or with powdered lime.
Lime wash made of caustc lime will quickly
destroy the young nests of the orchard cater
pillar; but an easier way to prevent the dep
relations is to search during winter for the
nests or rings of eggs, cut them off
and burn them.
There are some insects which we cannot
meet with advantage by the use of poisons.
Such is the curculio, which evades the pres
ence OF the operator, "plays possum" and
diops if disturbed. The damage is not in de-
vouring leaves, but in punctuating the fruit
for laying eggs. We do not see any way
therefore TO meet this insect with poison,
it must be killed by direct attack, as by jar
ring on sheets, or by employing animals to
devour the infested fruit as it falls. The ap-
pie borer and peach grub cannot be reached
with poison, and the only way is to kill them
in their holes. Neither can we employ poi
son for the codding moth, for the double
reason that it cannot be easily reached, and
that it would not do to introduce poison into
the fruit.
The orchard caterpillar could be destroyed
with white hellibore, sprinkled on the leaves,
but this would be difficult and expensive on
large trees, and an easier way is to treat it
with lime wash in its nest, or still better to
cut off the rings OF eggs before they hatch,

Canned Pie Plant.

This agreeable fruit can be kept for winter
use, according to the American Grocer, in
the following manner:
Select what is called the giant pie plant;
cut the stems into inch lengths; heap them
into any large baking dish (earthern is pre-
ferable), sprinkle them very plen.ifully with
sugar as you lay them in, in fact sweeten
them as literally as if for immediate use. and
set them in the oven to bake. Take quart
Mason cans and keep them near enough the
fire to be thoroughly warmed, or pour a little
hot water into each a few minutes before US
ing; throw it out at the last moment, and
when the pie plant is baked sufficiently to be
tender all through, without having lost its
form, lift it carefully with spoon into the
cans, and proceed precisely as for strawber-
ries. This will be found excellent in winter,
and it is to be very easily managed.
