Late Fall or Winter Cabbage.

For late fall or winter cabbage, where
land is cheap, the plants are set in rows
three feet apart each way. This, says
Joseph Harris in American Agriculturist,
requires 1910 plants per acre. The land
is marked out with q common marker
both ways, the plants are dropped where
the two rows cross, and a careful man
sets them out. They are set deep enough,
so that the lower leaves stand level with
the surface. The great point is to press
the soil firmly around the roots and not
merely around the upper part of the
stem. Mr.. Harris plan, after marking
out the land both ways, is to drop about
two tablespoonfuls of fertilizer or good
handful of pulverized hen dung where the
two rows cross, and then run narrow
horse hoe up and down each row both
ways.
The favorite varieties and the time Of
planting vary considerably in different
sections. The usual time of planting
these varieties for late fall and winter
use ranges from the Goth of June until
the 10th of July. Much. however, de
ponds on the land and season. When the
soil and preparation are all that could be
desired, these varieties can be frequently
planted safely until the Goth of july and
occasionally until the lst of August.
The after management of the crop con
sists merely in keeping the land clean and
mellow by constant use of the cultivator
and hoe. Simple as this is, it is where
many cabbage growers fail. In two or
three days after the cabbage plants are
set out it is well to run cultivator be-
tween the rows, and follow with hoe and
break the crust round the wilted plants
and draw little fine fresh soil round
them. If any of the plants are dead, set
out others in their place. In two or three
days cultivate again, and keep on cult
waiting until the cabbage leaves cover the
ground. 1t is one great secret Of success.

CROP REPORT.
By Texas Farm and Ranch's Spe-
c1al Correspondents.

Northern section: Continued rains
throughout north Texas delayed cotton
planting until the cotton crop is fully one
month behind, and injured wheat and oats
in the shock. Much cotton land
YVES replanted two, three and four
times, and some was finally abandoned.
The worms have conspired with the
rain to seriously injure the crop. 1t is
now quite grassy, but looking up and
with steady, dry weather will yet do we'll.
The wheat and cat yield has not been
uniform, on account of local causes, but
averages up fairly we'll, though the quality
is rather poor. All forage crops have
done remarkably well, and the yield is
highly gratifying. The saccharine scr
ghums promise an abundant crop, the
acreage being largely increased, Corn
has made large yield, and nothing can
now prevent its safe storage. Fruits and
vegetables are uniformly good.
Eastern section: The cotton crop is

We are glad to note the growing sent1-
ment in favor of more general ooserv-
ance of the first day of the week as Sab
bath, or rest day, for railway employees.
The work of the trainman, in almost any
position, is tedious, and he merits release
from toll one day in seven. Some com
panies have discontinued the running OF
special excursion trains on Sunday. his
is often deemed hardship by those
whose labors keep them in the hot city air
all the week, and who would enjoy day
out in the country. But there are two
points from which to view this matter.
If the railway company shall call upon It's
servants to labor on the first day of the
week, may lot the mechanic also be Kept
at his tasks on that day with equal pro-
priety? The practice that keeps one Glass
of laborers necessarily employed, only al
fords a stepping stone to the utter
disregard of the first day of the week as
period of rest and recreation. The work
man who insists upon the privilege of his
Sunday pleasure trip makes sentiment
whose tendency is to chain himself to his
own work. No. Give the railroad men
rest, and if they cannot be granted the
respite on the first day of the week, be-
cause of the necessities of their vocation,
their Sabbath-rest day-should be pro-
vided for on another day.-St. Louis Rail

Ripeninp Tomatoes.

Tomatoes ripened on the vines are
much superior to those that are picked off
partly green and laid in the sun to ripen.
Many persons, in order to get early fruit,
tie the plants to stakes and pinch off the
ends of the vines as soon as enough fruit
has set. The best soil for tomatoes is q
sandy loan, and they will not do well on
wet or too highly MANFRED lands.

MISSISSIPPI.

In general all crops are quite equal to
the average. Sorghum was never more
promising. Sweet potatoes and millet
will make abundant crops. Corn and
small grains have done well. Sugar cane
in the lower part of the state is
little tardy on account of
rams, but is in a fourishing condition.
Summary for the state: Oats yield 25
bushels per acre, which is 80 per cent OF
an average. The quality IS fairly good.
Corn yields 80 bushels per acre, which is
ITO per cent of an average. The cotton
acreage is 11o per cent of an average, and
the yield promises nearly two thirds of
bale per acre, which is 10 to 10 per cent
above an average. Hay and fodder have
turned out 2 tons per acre, the usual
average.

about three weeks behind and largely in
the grass-on account of rains. There is
no sign of worms, except in a few local
titles, and the outlook for an average crop
is encouraging. Corn is little short, but
ample for home consumption. The yield
of cas- is below an average, and the
quality is only medium. Sorghum and
sugar cane are excellent, and promise
heavy crops-though nothing for export.
Fruits and vegetables fine. Forage
superior in yield and quality.
Western section: The west continues
to maintain the glowing promise of the
early season-in fact, the promise is well
nigh fulfilled. Small grain has made a
large yield, and is of excellent quality.
Corn is heavy and we'll matured. Cotton
is fourishing, though suffering little
Just now for rain. Sorghum is making
an enormous crop, and the saccbarine
varieties will be made up into molasses.
johnson and Colorado grasses have made
abundant crops of hay, and are much ap-
proved for forage. In few localities
late spring wheat and oats were slightly
injured by rust.
Middle section; The oat crop is short
fully one. third, and badly injured in the
shock. An average cotton crop was
planted, but continued rains, with grass,
weeds and worms, have crowded out at
least 20 per cent. 1t is now looking well,
and with timely rains will make nearly, if
not quite, full crop. Forage sorg-
huns have made an immens yield,
and the saccharine varieties
will be made up into molasses.
SnntbnrT, saotinp. Tn,
there is large sorghum and sugar crop,
and the yield will be 10 per cent above an
average. Irish and sweet potatoes, fair.
Fruits and vegetables were very poor-cut
short about half. Cotton and corn both
good. In other localities the cotton and
corn are not quite SO good, but still above
the average. Large forage crops of su-
perior quality.
Summary for the state: Oats has made
40 bushels per acre, which is about So per
cent of an average; the quality of the
grain is poor to fair. Wheat has made
Is bushels per acre, which is 95 per cent
of an average; the quality of the grain is
good. Corn will make "a bushels per
acre, which is los per cent OF an average;
the quality of the grain is good. The hay
and fodder crop will be 23 tons per acre,
which is 118 per cent of an average; the
quality is good. The acreage of cotton
is 9S per cent; the yield at present prom
ises nearly one-haif.bale,per acre, which is
about 80 per cent of an averages with
good seasons it will yet make an average.
Saccharine sorghums and sugar cane are
so per cent above an average in acreage,
and will make 80 per cent above an aver
age yield.

ARKANSAS.

The corn crop is we'll advanced, and a
heavy yield is assured. Cotton prospects
are fattering, and with timely rains in
August there will be an extraordinary
yield, except in low lands where the plant
has been somewhat injured by the rains.
The oat crop is not quite up to the aver
age, but sufficient for home consumption.
But little wheat raised; few counties
report 10 to ~ bushels per acre-about
an average. The Irish and sweet potato
crops are good, and vegetables fine. On
the whole the crop is better than for
several years.
Summary for the state: Oats yield 20
bushels per acre, which is rs per cent of
an average. Wheat yields 10 bushels per
acre, which is 10 per cent above an aver
age. Corn yields % bushels per acre,
which is per cent above an average.
The cotton acreage is about the usual
average; the crop is about two weeks late;
the yield promises three-fourths of bale
per acre, which is above the average.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-08-09


Cotton is about three weeks late on
account of rains, which have somewhat
injured the plant and made the crop
grassy. Present fair weather IS con-
tributing to its recuperation, and the out
look is favorable. Sugar cane ia very
good, though slightly damaged by the
rains. In fact, the excessively wet
weather has more or less injured every
crop but rice, which is better than for
several years past. In the northern part
of the state there is good acreage of
sorghum-both forage and saccharlne
varieties-and it promises large yield.
The sweet potato crop is good.
Summary for the state: Oats yield
eighteen bushels per acre, which is so per
cent of en- average: the quality is me
dium. Corn yields twenty bushels per
acre, which is 80 per cent of an average;
the grain is heavy and well matured.
There is the usual acreage of cotton, and
it promises nearly one-half bale to the
acre, which is 80 per cent of an average.
Forage crops will make a full average of
about two and one-half tons per acre
quality good.

it was one of the recognised processes Of
common law for securing the arrest of a
felOn. The plaintiff who had been robbed
had by this process the right of acquaint-
ing the constable of the township with
the wrong he had suffered, and the de-
scription of the culprit. The constable
might then call upon all the inhabitants
to join in the pursuit of the suspected
criminal with horn and voice; and so
follow up the offenders tracks to the
limits of the township, at which limit
this constable would generally hand on
the duty of pursuit to the constable of
the neighboring parish. 1t was enjoined

She says:
" You wish to know how he handles a
girl in waltzing? Well, he is altogether
respectful. You know by personal ex-
perience what l mean by that. Some
fellows grab their partners as though
they were their wives or their accepted
sweethearts, and hug them covertly if
not perceptibly. The Prince does not do
that at all. There was nothing caressing
in the firm but conventional encircling
of his right arm, the hand of which was
placed just fatty enough to be support
ing to the fiat of my back. With his
left hand he held my right, extended,
just as we do in waltzing here, and with
just grip enough to make you feel safe,
but with no pressure of Improperly.
Oh, he is very nice indeed My right
ear was close to his mouth, and he chat
ted little at first, until the exercise
made him scant of breath. When we
were through he left me with courtly
bow and the remark, You American

The Legislative session of 1888 is at
an end. The functions of the reformed
House chosen at the special election of
1887 are finished There have been two
sessions and much work of substantial
character has been performed. Part OF
the time the public has been subject to
q severe tension on account OF the evil
dent friction between constituent
branches of the Government. The Leg
islature attempted such a rendering Of
the Constitution as should enlarge the
powers vested in itself for the people. 1t
was and is believed by large part of
the community that the contention of
the Legislature was correct, but the SUI
preme Court decided otherwise and the
Legislature and country have bowed
their acquiescence. 1t is one of the most
encouraging evidences of the fitness of
the country for self-government that
this decision, which greatly enlarged the
power of the King, was yielded to with
quietness and a determination to abide
by the law. The eXcitements and the
disturbances of the few years past are
gone by. The Government appears to
be settled now upon the firm basis of
administration of public affairs for the
general benefit.
