DON'T NEGLECT TIE WEEDS

Now that farmers are right IN the
mids, of their having, and with the grass
growing poorer with each DAYS delay in
cutting, the temptation Is quite strong TO
neglect the cultivated fields until the
weeds become 50 large as 20 seriously
injure the crop. Much may be done TO
avoid this, if one viii run the horse hoe
between the rows every few DAYS early in
the morning while the dew Is on the
grass, OF in cloudy days when the having
is interrupted MANY farmers hoe too
much and cultivate too little. They do
with the hand hoe what might be done a
great deal better and far more easily by
horse power. An acre Of corn or pota-
toes may be cultivated out, once in "a
row. in "a little over an hour, and if II Is
gone through as often as once in every

are visible till the crop is too large 10 cul-
tiya,e, there VIII be very little hand labor
required for keeping the weeds out of the
hills or drills And this hand work may
then be done at any time when conven-
lent. 1, matters little whether the sun
shines or not, if the weeds from among
the corn are pulled out and left In the
track Of the horse hoe, the next time It
passes they viii be destroyed. Under
some circumstances We are in favor Of
hand labor in place Of animal, but with
a horse standing idle In the stable 1t
seems the height of folly for farmer To
dig and delve among the weeds, when a
tenth part of the labor, if properly di-
rectej, would be really more etectual.
II YOU find the weeds are getting start

CABBAGE AS FOOD FOR STOCK.


There is no plant which l think might
be more easily cultivated with profit to
the ordinary farmer than the cabbage.
As food for mich cows during late fall
and early winter there is scarcely anything
which equals it, and when economically
planted and cultivated, an acre furnishes
an immense amount of one of the cheap
est of cattle foods. My method of grow
ING is the following: Select ground from
which we would expect to get sixty bush
els of shelled corn per acre, plough early
in the spring, and harrow occasionally
until about the first Of June, in order to
start and destroy as many as possible of
the weed seeds that It may contain. Then
mark it out as for corn, three and half
feet each way. Procure seed from any
of the large medium late varieties, and
plant if possible just before a rain. In
planting we carry the seed in a little pail
or dish in the left hand. taking a pinch
Of from SIX to twenty seeds between the
thumb and finger of the right; a single
stroke Of the hand at each hill carries the
seed into the moist earth, dropping 1t IN
a line about a foot long; q pat Of the
hand firms the soil over it, and 1t Is rea-
Sonablv sure 70 grow unless we have an
exceptionally dry time. If the previous
cultivation has been well done the plants
viii easily keep ahead of the weeds until
we can see 70 cultivate the lows each
way, which should be done as early as
possible. As soon as the plants are about
the size when they are generally trans
planted. after a thorough cultivation we
90 through with a hoe, removing all
weeds. thinning the plants TO two or three
in a hill, and filling, by transplanting.
any vacancies that may occur. The tu-
turc work consists in frequent cultIva-
ton. given If possible late in the after
noon or early IN the morning. We COM
mcncc feeding early in the fall, cutting
the plants 40 the surface Of the ground;
a single blow from a sharp spade viii cut
and break the largest Of them, and just
before the ground closes up by frost We
gather the remainder into heaps of two
or three wagon-loadS each, covering them
with corn-Stalks or straw, IN which way
they viii keep well into the winter, and
furnish a much rclished food at the irving
time between paSturagc and dry winter
food Il VIII be readily seen that the
expense of this method Is less than that
usually practiccd while the labor Is Of a
character more easily performed by the
ordinary farmer than raising in the seed
bed and transplanting the plants. In the
SIX years We have practiced 1t, we have
never failed to get good stand and an
immense crop of cheap but nutritious and
valuable, cattle food, and we are sur that
the farmer who once tries a patch of cab
bage in this way, VIII no, care TO be
without them in the future.-W w..

SPLITTING PAPER.

Il Is one Of the most remarkable prop
critics of that wonderful product. paper,
that it can be split into two or even three
parts. however thin the sheets. We have
seen a leaf Of the illustrated Nelr, thus
divided into three parts, u three thin
leaves. One consisted Of the surface on
which the engravings are printed; another
was the side containing the letter press,
and q perfectly blank piece on each side
was the paper that lay between. Many
people who have not seen this done might
think it impossible; vet 1t Is not only
possible, but extremely easy, as we shall
show
Get a piece of plate glass and place on
it q sheet Of paper; then let the latter
be thoroughly soaked. With care and d
little dexterity the sheet can be split by
the top surface being removed. But the
best plan Is to paste piece Of cloth OF
strong paper to each side Of the sheet to
be split When dry violently and with
out hesitation pull the two pieces asun-
der, when part OF the sheet VIII DC found
to have adhered 10 one and part 70 the
other Soften the paste in water and the
pieces can be easily removed from the
cloth.
The process IS generally demonstrated
as q matter Of curiosity, vet it can bC
utilized in various ways. If we want &c
paste IN a scrap-book a newspaper article
printed on both sides Of the paper, and
possess only one copy, It is very conven-
lent 20 know how TO detaeh the one side
from the other The paper when split,
as may be imagined, is more transparent
than It was before being subjected to the
operation, and the printing ink is some
what duler; otherwise the two piece,
present the appearance of the original i
again brought together.
Sometime ago the information of how
TO do this splitting was advertised to bt
sold for a considerable sum. We nov
impart it 10 all our readers gratuitously
