There are a large number of farmers as well
as market gardeners who grow large quantities
Of late cabbage. The profit from crop OF
late cabbage will compare favorably with that
from a crop oftobacoo. Ina favorable season
the plants can be set upon rich soil as late as
July 10th, matme before cold weather stops
their growth. Most any good corn land will
produce good cabbage, provided it is not too
sandy. A heavy. sandy loam''is best adapted
TO the crop. The soil should be deeply piow-
ed, not less than eight inches deep. After the
soil has been thoroughly pulverized mark into
rows three and one-halt feet apart one way
and two feet apart the other. A small hand
full of some kind of fertilizer dropped where
each plant is to be set will greatly improve the
crop. The plants should be set Just before a
rain il possible. In setting the plants care
should be taken to firm the soil about the
roots.

The kidneys exercise most important
functions, which are so wcarisomc that they
tax to the utmostthe strength and endurance
Of these busy little organs. Every breath,
every pulsation of the heart, every move
ment Of limb, every thought makes waste
and necessitates the development Of new
atoms. The used up particles in the blood
are sifted from it and dissolved in Il watcry
fluid by the kidneys. which then discharge
this fluid into the bladder. A train of dis
listers to the system would follow if these
ashes" so to speak, were not thoroughly
strained of and discharged. This Is the case
when the kidneys become inactive. Hos
letters Stomach Bittcrs, by restoring their
activity, not only keeps open most I'M
portant outlet for impurities, but prevents
diseases of the kidneys themselves, which
when inert becomes liable TO form a prey to
diabetes, Bright's disease, mcphitiE, nlbumcn-
uria, and other maladics especially incident
to them, which, although not specially rapid
in their progression, are particularly obsti-
nate and fatal.

To grow good celery it is very essential to
have strong stocky plants. Those that are

in the American Garden, that The roots Of the
onion occupy far less space in the soil Than
those of any other vegetable. The roots take
complete possession Of the soil beneath them,
forming eiree about eightinches in diameter
and for depth of but ten inches. Hence il
is that the soil must be rch. Hence it is that
we may grow them SO closely together.
Hence it is that early sowing is necessary.
The roots must be made before the summer
drouth occurs.
Some points OF resemblance between or
chard grass ard Kentucky blue grass have
been noticed. A great point of resemblance Is
its doing well in the shade. 1t is this quality
which has given it lis popular name of orchard
grass in this country. 1t is, therefore. well
adapted to orchards and woodland, and is one
Of the best grasses to sow with blue grass on
such lands. Yet another point in which it
resembles (but in which it does not equal,
however, blue grass, is its abundant growth
in the autumn. As heard man once ex-

Ramia and Inte al the sonth-

The culture of ramie and jute is to be prac-
tically tested on large scale in the South. Al
in few years we will probably know whether
this business, about which so much has lately
been said, is to be added 10 one of the lead

Fremery, of New Jersey, writes froa Hunts

follows:

plants have been raised and many of them
planted. Intend to plant this year, before
my return to Newark, N. T., in the beginning
Of November, some hundred or hundred and
twenty acres, and only to stop my commenced
work in two or three years, when some 80 or
40 thousand acres of ramie will be under cul-

under culture about twenty acres of jute, the
young plants doing as well as the ramie.

Tho Roman soldiers, who built
such wonderful roads and carried a
weight of armor and luggage that
would crush the average farm hand,
lived on coarse brown bread and
sour WINE. They were temperate
IN diet, regular and constant in ex-
ercise. The Spanish peasant works
every day and dances half the
night, yet eats only his black bread,
onion and watermelon. The
Smyrna porter cats only q little
fruit and some olives. He eats no
beef, pork nor mutton, yet he walks
OFF with his load of 800 prouds.
The coolie, fed on rice, is more ac-
tive and can endure more than the
negro fed on fat meat. The heavy
work of the world is not done by
men who cat the greatest quantity.
The fastest or longest wIndcd horse
is not the biggest cater. hOdera-

Land is cheap in Georgia and crops reason
ably certain. A support is always certain
when labor is given for it. Why should not
our young Georgia women turn away from
the cities and clorking and teaching at S3o
per month and seek the free, open and healthy
life Of the farmer? Land, we say, is cheap,
and can be obtained in less time and with hall
the trouble that town positions can; and we
venture the assertion that no woman will want
to come back TO teach in school-roOmS or clerk
in stores. We do not mean TO say that all
women can make success at farming. By
no means. But we believe that any woman
Of Industrious habits and possessing house
keeping instinct can make money on the farm.

fortably in the country manage their own labor,
make good crops, and with their dairies, poul-
try-yards, orchards and gardens secure not

ness to the fact that they pay promptly and
buy close. Thisi is by way of suggestion only.
