All the flirting and deceiving,
Captivating, make-believing,
With It's temporary sweetness, tones the

of possession in your measure,
And year Of adaptation has remodeled
your desire:
When you modify the rapture
of YOUR hymeneal capture,

Root Pruning Cabpaxes.

During the severe drouth which pre-
vailed in the month of June, we had /,
great lot of cabbage plants ready to set
out. They were getting too large 10
transplant well, and we wanted 10 check
their growth. We made a narrow :
toothed cultivator that We could run
close to the plants, six or eight inches
deep. We thought this would prune the
roots and hold back the plants. We put
ona good horse and went twice in a
row, and burst up the hard, dry soil.
But, instead of checking tho plants. il
made them grow all the faster, and they
threw out great mass Of very fine
roots. 1t would seem as though the
plants got their sap out of the leaves
and stems, to form new roots, and then
IN soon IA the new roots We're formed,
they got moisture out Of the mellow soil
though 1t looked as dry Ms powder,
and the nnbroken soil adjoining was al.
most as hard AS brick. American Agri.
