Cabbages.


For the earliest kinds, Early Wakefield and
Early York are undoubtedly the best. The
best way to get them in perfection is to
sow the seed the middle of September and
winter the plants over. If you did not do
that, however, sow the seed now at once, in
temperate hotbed. When the plants are six
inches high transplant them to a cold frame,
or IN the open ground if the frost is out
When set out in the earth for final growing
put the plants for early varieties about
eighteen inches apart i'll the row, the rows
three feet apart.
For late cabbage, sow the seed in a bed of
rich soil, in the open air, as soon as frost has
disappeared. In about two months they will
be ready to set out. Plant the large, strong
growing late cabbages three feet apart. The
cabbage needs, more than almost any other
vegetable, a rich, loamy soil Well-rotted sta
bic manure is the best fertilizer for it. Both
it and the soil in which the plant is to be set
must be finely pulverized. Mix the manure
and the soil well together in the hill wi. h the
hoe For late cabbage sow the Late Flat
Dutch or the Curled Savoy. Since raw cab
bage is becoming fashionable as a remedy for
dyspepsia, doubtless this unethereal vegetable
will be more popular than ever. The largest

FARM sGARDIEN
The Chickens.

There Is certainly ono branch Of profit to
the farmer which has not yet been worked to
It's full extent. That Is poultry raising.
Neither for home nor for market are his re-
sources what they might be- Eggs are one
81 the best articles Of food known to man
yet in the cold weather II the good farmwife
gets eggs enough to make her Christmas cake
she considers herself fortunate. During the
late winter and spring country people ought
to have fresh eggs at least every other day
for breakfast, vet some families do not see
them twice a month A little carc-that Is
30 say, considerable care and industry-would

this at their command many agriculturists

The farmer who is SLOUGH In other re-
spects will be SLOUGH in the chicken bust
ness. He will DO an old hunks through ana

agricultural writer convcrsed not long since.
Tho talk was q real one. Read 1t. There
may or may not be OCCASION then to say: "fut
that in your pipe and slno;e it."
'sChickens don't pay nohow," said the old
hunks every. dozen eggs l sell at eighteen
cents costs q quarter"
ssWhat breed do you keep" asked tho
writer. He, tho writer, was person who
was seeking information from practical
farmer.

sOh, l don't pay any attention to breeds;
some Of them were ON the place when bought

"Kind of q mixed lot" said I. "What do

saint got any; part of them roosts in the
old log stable and part Of 'em are SO derned
contrary they roost out in the orchard"
~ suppose you sell Off your old hens every
yearg
He gave a little laugh. "No, don't; fact
is. I never have any to sell; the owls and
hawks and skunks and other varmints have
to have their share. and it's nip anu tuck to
keep the old stock good. Chickens are
blasted nuisance whichever way you take
them"
Somebody else than the chickens was ''con-
trary' in this case But il you are not one
of the ''old hunks kind you can certainly
make poultry raising source Of profit,
health and pleasure, all three.
It is an occupation that requires far more
brains than physical strength. Is that the
reason so many people fail in its But add the
brains, and it is q side branch of income that
is by no means to be despised. Except build

THE FIGHT,

The splendid bird would undoubtedly have
conquered the one man alone, but by this
time the friend had come up. Ho picked up
the gun and with it knocked the eagle sense
less. Before it had recovered itself he ran to
the wagon and brought some ropes The
fallen man had got upon his feet by that time,
and the two together tisd the eagle. They
bore their prize thus bound and helpless u
their wagon, and brought him home There
they chained him III the barn But it took
two men to do it.
The eagle was the largest one ever taken
alive on Long Island. 1t measured seven and
ahalf feet from tip to tip Of its wings. The hum
ter who fired att was considerably scratched
up 1t served him right. The next time he
sees royal American eagle sitting peacefully
upon tall tree meditating he will probably
not disturb him.

Harry has a sister about three years old.
Her name is Kitty. One day the washer
woman left tub nearly full of water stand

His First and Last Cigar.

A boy in Missouri, who was IA years old,
thought it was time he was learning to
smoke. He bought cigar in store and
commenced to puff it as he had seen other
boys do. He became deathly sick, and began
vomiting frightfully. They carried him
home, and doctor was sent for. The
physician lived only few steps away, and
be fastened to his patient, but when h..
reached the house the poor boy was already
dead. The tobacco poison had killed him.

The great competition for first premiums
on tropical fruits at the Expositian will b.
between Florida and California. Florida il
we'll in line. Three carloads Of fruits have
recently arrived. It will be surprise to
many northern visitors to the Exposition to
know that there are over 90 kinds Of oranges
There are fiat little Mandarins and deep yell
low Tangerines that look like the Early
Smooth Red tomato. From these the display
runs up to mammoths that are as large as a
small baby's head. The real Florida orange,
in its prime, is about the best OF its kind that
grows. Florida exhibits muny varieties she
also shows beautiful array Of citrons and
or shaddock, in this exhibit is quite new to
many people in the north. It is beautiful
sight, hanging in great clusters from the large
glossy tree The fruit itself looks like huge,
pale orange. So large does the grape fruit
grow that it measures sometimes Is inches
around The pulp inside grows also like the
orange. The taste is like that Of sour
orange with slight grapey flavor. As tart
breakfast appetizer quarter or half OF one
is unexcelled.
The southern states are waking to the i'm
portance Of fruit culture rs they never did
o
for the future. Florida shows still other
fruits unfamiliar to the north, such as the
sweet and sour sop and the alligator pear.
Next after Florida comes Mississippi in the
display Of fruits from southern states She
also displays handsome oranges. It will be
now to many that this fruit grows in Mis-
sissippi. From the same state there were
ripe strawberries in December and again in
January This state also exhibits fine pecans
and pomegranates and the new and popular
japanese persimmon. 1t promises to be a
valuable acquisition to our fruits. The other
southern states have not come up to the
mark in respect to fruit. We have in the ex-
position from Mexico the varieties already
mentioned, and cocoanuts, pineapples,
bananas and nuts besides. Jamaica has
eighty kinds of sugar cane also nutmegs,
coffee berries, vanilla beans and fine dis
play of other tropical fruits and nuts. Hon.
duras sends bananas, pineapples and oranges.
Altogether the magnificent collection Of
southern fruits here brought together forms
one Of the handsomest and most instructive
departments of the great Exposition.
