Root.Pruning Early Cabbages.

Gardeners sometimes prune the roots of
trees ia order TO check the growth of wood
and throw the young tree into earlier fruit
ing, Grating the pear on the ounce has
the same effect, and for the came reason. II
cuts OF the supply of food from the roots.
DIR. Sturtevant, a few years ago, recon-
menoed rootpruning for Indian corn. Mar.
ket gardeners often raise earlier aud larger
cabbagss than are usually found in even our
best private gardens. One reason of this is
probably due 10 the fact that the market
gardeners raise csbbsges on large scale, and
use the horse she's or cultivator between the
rows OF growing oabbsges. And this deep
and thorough cultivation net only keeps the
land free from weeds, bat IL also prunes the
roots snd checks the growth Of the csbbgses
for a short time, but not for long. The roots
which are pruned throw out numerous small
fbrous roots, which feed on the rich surface
soil rather than on the poorer subsOiI. This
check TO the growth OF the cabbages favors
early maturity. But Il should not be forgot.
ten that it is indispensable TO success that
the land for early cabbsges be very rich, and
the more you rootprune. the richer the land
ought 10 be.

one State institution was subject to an sp-
palling scandal which compelled patient
consideration and demanded radical treat
ment. Many creditors OF the State clsmored

long neglected that the credit OF this proud
State was in danger OF ranking as that Of

OF the policy OF the State in regard TO one or
two Of them were important and pressing.
The regulation OF railroad, telegraph

We have for many years grown oats aud
peas together. On good, rich land, sOwn
early, you can get great mass OF fodder
and grain. The drawback in the older
States ia the pea-weevil. The peas are
affected with the bug" and We 10 not sell
them, but feed them ont on the farm to pigs
and sheep, principally to tbs former. The
pigs do not object TO the bugs. What the
bugs think CT II IS not reported, The fan
ming mill will separate nearly all the oats
from The PEAS. No matter il a lev OF the
split peas will remain with the oats.
IL cut before the oats get too ripe and the
crop is carefully cured the fodder is nearly

SOW any that you can buy cheap enough. The
seedsmen charge too much for it, or the
white or black eyed marrow TAT would be
good. The common Canada cresper or any
other small, round pea answers good pur-
pose, and a bushel goes farther than tina
larger varieties. We mean that it is not
necessary to SOW them 50 thick. Two bushels
of these small peas and bushel OF oats is
enough seed ger acre. The marroWiats
