The Way to Start Cabbage Plants.

Thousands of families know nothing
OF the luxury of cabbage as an article of
delicious food, simply because they do
not understand how to start the plants. AS
plants cannot always be obtained when a
supply Is needed, no cabbage heads are
raised Then, again. when plants are
offered for sale at ones door the price is
usually too eXorbtant. Henceno cabbage
is raised AS we have just been sowing
cabbage seed 1t will doubtless interest
many readers to learn how easily 10000
plants can be produced at an expense of
only one hours manual labor. In the
flrst place, tive-cent paper of prime
seed was put IN coffee cup and allowed
to soak for twelve hours in tepid water.
Then an area about four feet square was
spaded deep where the ground was rich,
and Il liberal sprinkling of fine manure
was raked into the mellow soil. As the
ground was unusually dry, several pailfuls
OF water were employed to give the seed.
bed thorough drenchng Next, about
two bushels Of ashes, coal dust and a little
mold were collected where brush heap
had been burned, and these accumua-
tioHs were spread over the seed
bed, and all the Jumps and sticks were
raked off and the surface smoothed
With the edge of a board drill marks
were then made about five inches apart in
which the cabbage seed was evenly scat
tered, after which fine and mellow soil
was spread by hand over the surface, thus
covering the seed about half an inch deep
Ii fowls have access to such IA seed bed
let four narrow boards be placed on edge
around the little plot, the corners nailed
together and the top covered by long
pieces of brush or lath or a piece of can
vas or old blanket may be stretched from
one board to another. If canvas is en-
ployed let it be removed at night in warm
weather and during wet and lowering
periods. Where cabbage seed is planted
in this manner the young shoots will APP
pear in a few days, the leaves and stems
will grow rapidly and the plants will be
readily accessible when it is desirable to
plant cabbage. In case the seed-bed be-
comes dry on the surface apply pailtul
of warm water with watering.pot every
evening. Never water plants when the
sun is shining on them. If water is APP
piled at evening it will descend to the
roots of the plants and the surface of the
seed bed will not become dry and hard as
it will il water is applied when the sun is
shining. Turnip plants may be produced
in the same manner.-N. Y. Heroh.

Cutting and Curing Hay.

THERE is no one farm product the val.
liable properties of which are more az
fected by slight variation in the time
or mode of curing than hay. 1t is true
that hay differs in its nutritive proper
ties according TO the particular plants of
which it consists, as well as TO the time
and manner of eating and curing; still,
those plants which are comparatively
poor can he made into passable good
hay by proper manipulation, and the very
best rendered almost worthless by bad
treatment. We have often thought that
the more favorable the climate for the
production and curing of heritage for
stock the less likely would it be TO Oh
tain 1t of good quality and in sufficient
quantities. The dryness of our climate.
as rule, is especially favorable for
making the best quality of hay, and this
has, without doubt, tended to make our
farmers careless in regard to beginning
at the earliest practicable moment TO Sc
cure the crops, as they know that good
haying weather is likely to continue for
an indefinite period.
This advantage OF climate has been the
bane of our sgriculturists in many
branches of farming, but in none has it
produced more injurious results than in
hsy-making. The proof OF our asser
ton can be seen in the dried hay exposed
in our city markets and in the barns OF
the farmer, as well as in the condition
of the animals forced to eat a poor
quality of hay, which might have been
greatly improved in quality at no extra
expense by cutting early and curing in
proper manner.
II is well known and, almost every
where, conceded that hay-plants cut
down while immature and in a succulent
stage contain 8 much larger proportion
of starch, sugar and gum than the same
cut when nearly ripe. As the plants ma
ture, large proportion OF these nutri-
tive properties is converted into woody
fiber, which. in great part, is indigesti-
Bile matter, doing the animal very little
good. besides costing much labor in mas
tication. The longer grass stands after
arriving at its maximum stage of growth
the greater the loss OF sugar and other
soluble matter, and the less digestibie il
becomes Even when cut down in
thoroughly succulent condition most OF
the grasses suffer some loss OF sugar and
sarch and undergo { degree Of li0uefac-
ton in drying.
Scientific agricRlluriSts know the value
of early-cut fodder, but the msiority OF
our farmers stil persist in delaying the

are rinsed each time they are refilled. and
especially if the mixture of sulphate of
iron, mentioned in these columns few
weeks ago, is used now and then.
In case an epidemic disease breaks out
among your poultry you will find an adj
vantage in having the fowls accustomed
10 drink such water only AS you provide
Tor them, since remedies or preventions
may often be administered by merely
indicating the drinking water
For young chicks still with the hens,
lower vessels, and more easily reached by
them must beprovided. We like nothing
better than the bottle fountain, which is
simply quart bottle inverted in small
frame. The bottle is filled with water and
then quickly turned into the frame with
mouth down, the mouth reaching to n
small shallow dish or pan, such for eX-
ample rs the lid of backing box As
the water is used by the chicks from the
shallow vessel, more descends from the
bottle above, thus keeping up an even
supply beneath so long as the water in
the bottle lasts. Such an arrangement is
quite desirable in the case of very Young
chicks, and particularly so with young
turkeys, as they are very apt. unless some
such special care is taken, to get into the
water bodily, both to the damage of it and
of themselves. -Prai72e Fa1r0e.

ties by being allowed to stand long after
they come into bloom.
Green heritage cured rapidly is decid.
edly superior to that which is cnred
slowly. This is another point in hav.
making which many otherwise good
farmers fail to comprehend. The loss ~
nutritive matter in curing hay is cons,d.
cradle even when the operation is CON.
Quoted in the best possible manner and
in the most favorable weather. bur by q
very little carelessness it may reach 10
per cent. or even more. In good weather
grass cut in the forenoon may be raked
evening, and then left to cure further in
this shape if necessary. But it should
never be allowed to be wet with dew or
rain after the grass has once become
wilted, if it can possibly be avoided
Grass cut down late in the afternoon
may be left out in the swath over night
without any perceptible injury, but it is
poor policy to cut more in the morning
than can be gathered up at night. All
unnecessary exposure to light, air and
moisture should be avoided if good,
green, succulent fodder is the point
aimed at. Hay that is cured quickly is
not only better in quality, but looks bet
ter, the green color remaining more Der.
fectly than when the process has contin-
ued slowly and through several DAYS.
Cutting early in fine weather and curing
quickly are the two main points in max
ing hay of fine quality. N. Y Sun.
