Raisinr Seed Of Cabbage.

There are several local methods, says a
Pennsylvania exchange, but the preferable
wav is to select from field OF cabbage that
has been grown from seed furnished by re-
liable dealer and fully tested on the farm.
The heads SO chosea are taken up from the
field aud carried to a special location that
has been prepared for the purpose. The
cabbage from which the seed is to be grown
Is pulled up with its roots, and before put
ting in the ground should have the lower
portion of the stalk with the roots attached,
cut entirely off leaving to the head only a
small portion of stalk. This is put In a dry
location in the soil, stalk downward, and
well covered up, leaving mound over 1t to
tnrn away the water. Do not bury 1t too
deeply, but leave about half OF the head
above the surface line, though the Whole
head should be we'll cove ed and protected
40 aipst extreme cold. The cabbage will re-
main in such condition until Spring, when
the earth forming the mound shohld be re-
moved.
often the cabbage will begin to grow be-
fore being uncovered, if the Spring Is early
and mild, when cracking or bursting OF the
mound may be noticed, As soon as 1t is I'M
covered it begins TO bulge out, sometimes
from the centre, and again from the sides OF
the head When this is seen the head is re-
lieved by cutting across the protruding parts
with a knife, and the shoot will Immediately
make its appearance. Shoots will grow out
from different parts of the cabbage, but they
should be pulled off and not allowed to
grow, as such shoot yield seed that will not
fulfil the expectations of the farmer, pro-
ducing inferior heads. Only the shoot that
grows directly from the centre OF the head,
or as near as possible thereto, should be al
lowed, and care should be exercised in keep
ing cabbages, of different varieties
spart. A single head usually pro-
yides the ordinary farmer with
more than sufficient for his wants, and the
advantage is that by selecting the best cab
bage every year, and allowing no side shoots
when growing, much annoyance is avoided
from imperfect stock and spurious or stale
seed

TUE PRESS.
The Muck pelusiou.

The delusion which prevailed, twenty and
more years ago regarding the manurlai val
ue of of what Is known as muck, has lost
some of It's force, but it still exists among
farmers, especially those new In the indus
try. Among the newspapers tine great
value of muck to farmers" is standing
text, from which labored sermon is
preached once or twice year. Twenty-Five
or thirty years ago, a little book was pub
lIshed by DIR. Dana, Lowell chemist, EN-
ployed in one of the dyeing establishments
of that city, which supplies the material for
these sermons, and will continue to do so,
perhaps, for the next half century. That
book is full of errors and absurdities, and
has led more farmers into iucurring serio.s
expenditures without corresponding returns,
than any book or manure ever written.
The fallacy of muck consists in the error
of regarding 1t as manure, or substance
which turns spontaneously into manure
without cost to the farmer. The term
''muckD is usually applied to the dark, wet,
uncluous product of low meadows, and the
black mud from the bed of marshy lakes and
frog pouds. The material varies greatly in
physical character and chemical composition,
no two specimens taken from different
localities being alike. The advocates of
muck, or the writer's upon the subject, have
but little TO say in regard TO these important

They organized adebating club in Deadwood
last week. The fact that the president was a
dead shot and sat with two revolyers in hand.
kept the society in comparative quiet while
the questions: "Ought flush royal to beat
four aces?" and "Is it wicked to lynch Next
cans on Sunday?'' were debated. But when
they tackled the question: "Ought you to fire
when a man reaches for his hip pocket, or are
you bound to wait till you see Sherher it's q
revolver or whiskeg bottle he's crawing?" The
president couldn't control them and five funer-
ais was the result.-Boston Post.
