CABBAGE CAULIFLOWER.
Every one likes cabbage, but, oh dear.
the trouble Of raising them some one
says. a goot! deal of care is required
I admit. but the reward is great.
Procure shallow box about two feet
wide and three feet long; fill this half
full of we'll rotted manure; fill up
with mellow soil and put down cellar
before freezing time comes. l put
stout leather handles on mine so it is
easily moved. About the middle Of
March l bring it up and spread an Old
cotton cloth over it and sprinkle my
seeds on it.
EARLY CABBAGE.-Early York or
Early Sugar Leaf. are the best Ameri-
can savory and cauliflower. Keep
each kind separate of course. Spread
another cloth over: put about All inch
of dirt upon this. Set the box by the
stove and keep very wet. DO not let
the box become chilled in the least.
In three days carefully lift the upper
cloth, dirt and ALL TO the seeds are
all sprouted! Lift them carefully
from the box OF the cloth. Stir the
dirt in the box thoroughly, then

squares. At each cross make hole
about All inch deep, pick up {, seed by
the top, hold the long delicate sproUt
in the hole and fill in the dirt until it
is firm. When all the holes are filed.
sprinkle enough dirt over to cover the
seed which will be on top. Keep
warm for three days. but do not WA
ter and your box will be filled with
little green beauties. Now give them
plenty of sunshine, no cold nights,
water with luke warm water every
other day--a little ammonia in the
water is a great help. AS soon as the
plants have two good leaves. begin to
stir the soil with little stick; keep
it loose. When they are three weeks
old the cabbage flea will come.
Sprinkle them we'll with wood ashes
every morning until they go out in
the garden. which should be about
the first of May. AS this is u great
deal of trouble. fifty plants of each
kind will he all you will wish to care
for.

of high Individual merit, but still
more important, indeed essential. he
should be descendent from good
line of ancestry: whose characteristics
correspond to the ideal type the breed,
er has in view. Neither showyard
victories. nor results in another herd
should be accepted as evidence OF the
suitability of bull as a sire III par
ticular herd. The style and general
character Of the bull, as we'll as those
Of his ancestors, ought to be similar
to the style and general character OF
the animals among which he is TO be
used. Unless these are so, no degree
of personal merit will insure success.
Pedigree is like the index to book
it tells of what parts the animal is
composed, and helps discover whether
the ancestry We're good, bad. or 1ndlt-
ferent, or whether Of similar or OF dlI-
ferent Blood These are the real uses
of registration. Ii the ancestry were
bad, the shorter the pedigree the bet
ter. In cross breeding ''tirst crosses
are usually more successful than sub
sequent crosses. This might be ac-
counted for by the improved features
of animals giving place to natural
characteristics when the circumstan-
ces that induced these improved fea-
lures have been discontinued. Those
handsome forms, true symmetry, fine
quality and good points, that charac-
terize improved farm stock have been
induced by perseverance in well-de-
fined breeding and general manage
ment. artificial features engrafted on
the animal by the skill Of man. Dis
continue these, and the artificial fea-
tuers would gradually disappear, the
natural characteristics would always
be stronger than the artificial. The
advantage of the good breeding OF Il
sire is very clear. The more firmly
the improved or artificial features are
stamped on sire, the longer would
that sire transmit those features to
his offsprings; good breeding: and
nothing else without it. would stamp
improved or artificial features upon
an animal Westerz1 Homestead.

(Received too late for last week $
issue.)
We were agreeably surprised on
our visit to the fair last week, at the
large and complete exhibit, and at
the manner in which the arrange
nents were made and carried out.
It seemed as though it was an old
institution instead of the first at
tempt OF the sort. and to those who
are conversant with such affairs. in
dicated an amount OF labor performed
by Some one or more, that is highly
to their credit. OF course some we're
dissatisfied with the Judges verdicts,
and in one instance with a show OF
reason, viz, where the first premium
for best brood mare WAS given to Il
young mare that never had Il colt.
But such slips will occur in the best
regulated families, and Oh the whole.
the fair must be voted an unqualified
success; and the next will be better
still. One 1na,l was heard to say:
Il wish l had brought my steers.
they are better than anything here.'
Another, Il could have taken the
prize for best colt.' And one Of the
gentler scx did wish she had brought
Il loaf OF bread from her last baking.
she was sure it would have taken the
premium. In this way, the fair has
aroused a spirit of emulation, and
has done good, and next year we will
see Il marked improvement, in both
the number and the quality Of the
exhibits.
The Fergus Falls Journal in last
weeks issue, tells of the largest yield
of wheat so far reported in the co,m-
try. being 81 bushels to the acre. raised
in the town Of Aurdall. The Jour-
nal man should come up this way to
find big yields. I. c. Traver, Of Leaf
Lake town had thirty-seven and :.
half bushels per acre, and David
Tr;.ver thirty-four and half. This
wheat is the best sample shown here
this year. and was raised on land that
was s.>wn to buckwheat last year.
which fact may account for the good
crop. buckwleat being Il splendid

Matters have again assumed their
usual quietude since the elopemen Mt Of
Geo. W. Shook.
Mr.. Jas. Carman and his brother
in-laW, Albert Cheny, have rented
part of Mr.. I.,mbert's farm, and are
now plowing it.
The mclaughlin Bros. sold their
splendid team Of horses, harness and
whippletrees to Mr.. Ellsworth. for
the exceedingly small price OF 5000.
Our usually quiet community was
thrown into a panic of excitement OH
Wednesday, Sept. 22d, which spread
like Wild-fire to Wadena and Verndale
on the announcement of the elope-
ment of Nj. Geo. w. Shook out of the
country, with about $500 in cash. and
leaving behind him about $250O Of
unpaid debts partly secured. The
worst blow falls upon the Nicola ugh
lin Bros, who are lo0sers to the
amount Of nearly $$400 without the
least particle of security Whereby to
get anything in return. His hired
help were also cheated out Of the most
of their wages. Shook had the entire
confidence of the people with which
he dealt with. for not even the most
cautious of them had the least slls-
picion of him playing any such ne-
farious tricks upon them. 1t is I'll
mored that he had advisors to the
trick. but he has taken a name with
him that will forever blast his future
life. What is all this world to an
mtainted character! When the news
Of the manner in which Shook has
acted reaches his father it will be :,
hard blow Oh him. for he is a straight
business man and very much respect

We have a very enthusiastic lot of
educational people in our district.

not enough turned out at either to do
