The Secret Of Growing CanliAow-
ers.-Comparatively few people, not
professional gardeners, succeed we'll
with the canlitlower, and this deli
cious vegetable is still u rare luxury.
But, certain essential conditions be-
ing assured, it is as easy to grow as
the cabbage. The grand secret Of its
culture lies in two words-manure
and moisture. Given these in suf-
ticient 4uantity-mark this last con.
dition--an6 the grand flower head

are accustomed to manure heavily
for cahbases, double the dose for
your cauliilowers. Plant fonr feet
apart each way; cultivate frequently.

Profit In Pickles.-Alany farmers III
this State do not know that they can
realize moro money from raising Gu
cumbers than from any other crop.
There is always a good demand for
them if they arc picked small and
Welt cured. They should be saltc'f
by making strong pickle, not dry
sailed; as that will shrink them up
and cause a loss to the grower as we'll
as to the parties who put them mp

t" 81 to Chicago for pickles, on nc.
count Of tho scarcity If them here.
Even in Boston and New York tho
supply does not meet the demand,

decidedly favorable with MS for the

decidedly pickle eating people.
What a strange world We live in!
Concerning the Keeping Qualities
of Butter. I'm MY opinion the keep
ing qualities Of butter depend princi
pal'y upon two things.

butter should be kept as perfect IN
possible. Butter should not bc al

the buttermilk should be drained from
