of a lumber mill in that place with
large capacity which was not saving
up a single stick of timber, and gave
as the reason that the proprietors were
paid $1,000 per year by a Lumber
Trust of San Francisco not to work
their mill, and they had bound them
selves to take this amount for seven
years for lying idle. This is highway
robbery on a large scale, and the men
who enter into such trusts ought to be
treated as we treat highway robbers"
Upon which the Call remarks:
These trusts are nothing but schemes
to swindle the public. We have been
too ready to form Incorporated COM
panies. We have an incorporation
for nearly everything. A company is
organized and then it is given the
privilege to swindle the people. No
act of incorporation should be per-
mitted to exist where the company
engages in combinations to control or
advance the price of any commodity.
And then it should be made a criminal
offense to engage in schemes against
the public interest, either by compa-
MES OF by individuals.

E FOR MUTTON.

We Americans know very little
about mutton-less than any people
who know what good living means.
W. have been badly educated in this
matter. American palates have tried
to ape the English taste for mutton.
W. should have been more American,
and had our own standard of excel.
lence in a mutton chop, and for that
matter, in a mutton sheep, too. All
these years we have tried to create a
demand for and grow a supply of
English mutton sheep. A few men
and a few localities have succeeded in
growing very excellent specimens of
these highly meritorious breeds of
sheep in a small way. Why? Well,
for singular and various reasons.
In the first place, we have not tried
to learn how the very results sought
for were produced. High feeding, we
were told, could produce such speci-
mems, and what high feeding meant
was not fully told. Steady, even
handed feeding and care, that has
created these %wondrous sheep in Eng
land, is not an American characteristic
at all. Nor will it pay one man here
and another miles away to grow such
sheep for the prices we get for NUT
ton. Were a whole community en-
gagged in the growing of such sheep,
buyers would come in and pay we'll
for the finished beauties, and ship
them to the city markets, or export
them to England.
After all that has been said about
mutton breeds, and the abuse and
representation as to the bad qualities
of Merino sheep for mutton, it is a
fact that thoroughbred and grade
Merino sheep furnish by far the larger
part OF the mutton eaten in this coun-
try. Nor does it go under it's real
name in the markets by any means.
Many a city butcher with a South
down head on his block for a sign,
sells Merino chops to his best custom
ers, English as we'll as American; and
all the boosted ability to detect the
Merino stencil goes for a joke Merino
sheep are not treated fairly for NUT
ton. They will pay as wool growers
too we'll to sell for mutton until too
old to be frst-class. Let the mutton
breeds be kept to the same age, and
would the results be any better ?
There is more in the handling, feed
ing and finishing than in the breeds.

BLANCHING EARLY CABBAGR

C%aulidower, >kale, celery, lettuce,
etc., are blanched by the best cultiva,
tors before being offered for sale.
Early cabbage may also be improved
by the same means used for cauli-
flower and lettuce, that is simply tying
the outer leaves " the plant for
some days before being cut. Garden.
ing Illustrated, an English periodical,
has a timely article on this subject,
wherein it states that tying up early
cabbage is now practiced in England.
AS to the operation it says, the soft
outer leaves are folded carefully
around the heart or center of the
plant, and the whole is bound firmly
with a withe or piece of bast.
There are several good reasons
given by market-growers for this
practice. The center being protected
from the weather, the cabbages heart
sooner, by two or three weeks than
they otherwise would do, and thew
are more easily handled in gathering
and packing for market. The plan is
one that is seldom adopted in private
gardens, but there a be no doubt
that it is one that can be recommended,
inasmuch as there is a gain Of a week
or two as regards cutting, and com
pact little cabbages are always prefer
able to loose ones, which, moreover,
apt to get broken, or otherwise in.

while to test this method with early

RYE AS A GREEN MANURE.

Many farmers are letting their sons
use a portion of the farm for growing
small fruits or vegetables. Such land
as these young men usually have to
work is very far from being in the
condition of soil occupied for some
years as a market garden, and needs
more manure than the farmer can
spare. In such a case we have wit
messed the effect of turning under a
heavy crop of rye. The land is rather
too stiff for working early in the
spring. If worked before it is quite
dry it is apt to bake. ...E
After a crop of potatoes was taken
off such a piece of land, rye was sown
the last of August. The next spring,
in May, an immense a of green
rye as high al the horses backs was
carefully plowed under. The land
worked nicely, but the effect on the
crop was not as beneficial as the gard
ener expected. But the following
spring, in blowing up the land, he was
surprised and delighted to find the
soil in such a mellow condition. The
pillow turned up a great mass of de.
cayed rye that looked like manure
and had all the effect of manure. at
any rate so far as the mechanical con
dltion of the soil was concerned. By
the aid of a few hundred pounds Of
commercial fertilizer per acre, he OBJ
tanned as good crops on this land as
would he have had from an application
OF a heavy dressing of stable manure.
He thinks he has solved the question
OF how to carry on a farm garden
situated too far to draw manur from
town. In other words, pillow under
rye and use commercial fertilizer.
There are other crops equally good
and some better for this purpose, but
rye is very convenient, as it can be
sown at any time a plot of land hap
pens to be vacant-from August to
December: In August, three pecks
to a bushel of seed per acre is sufi-
clent on good, mellow land, but later
1t Is better to SOW thicker, say one and
one-haf to two bushels per acre
There is one pleasant feature of this
method that commends it to all who
love to see a neat, well-tilled farm.
Instead Of the land being covered
with old potato vines, or rubbish or
weeds, you have a fine, dark green,
crop growing all through
the fall, winter and early spring
months. If for nothing else, it PAYS

THE TRUST" BANDITTI

We have published a good deal,
first and last, with regard to the
"trust abuses, but the subject must
be agitated a good deal more before
the abuses a be righted. A preacher
here in San Francisco is reported to
have said in his sermon last Sunday:
awe have in our land what are
called trusts the Wheat trust, the
Sugar Trust, the Lumber Trust, the
Coal Trust, the Oil Trust and a host
of others. They are becoming very
numerous. They are without soul or
conscience, and nothing can stand be-
fore them; they absorb everything.
They remind me of the great sea
monster called the devil fish. There
is no greater danger threatening the
life OF u great nation to-day than
this accursed trust system. There is
no good reason why coal should cost
in San Francisco $18 and $40 per ton
when it can be purchased at the mines
and at Seattle for 81 and SIS per ton.
Coal should never 60 above $40 per,
ton in San Francisco markets. WHY
is it that it costs twice as much to
build q frame house in San Francisco
as it does in the East 2 The only an
swer to this is because of the Lumber

LIGHTNING RODS.

AS The C~uztsvator is taken by a
good many farmers in my neighbor-
hood, and it is the time of year for
thunder and lightning, also for the
"lightning rod man" to be round,
and as there was a house struck bv
lightning yesterday evening, could
you give us some light on the subject
in The Cuhsvators Please do so, as
it will be information for a great
many, and perhaps save many a dollar
n the poor farmers pocket. [ am
not a believer in lightning rods. Let
us hear from you, or brother Irl R.
Hicks on the subject.-T. w. s., Holly
Hall, N. C. ..
ANswER.-There is no reasonable
ground for doubling the efficacy of
properly erected lightning rods as a
means of protecting buildings against
violent and destructive discharges of
electricity. The three principal points
to be observed are usually stated as
follows:
4 l.. The points of the conductor
should be so elevated above the build
ing that all parts of the latter will be
included in an imaginary cone of
which the point of the rod is the apex
and the angle formed by the side of
the cone with the perpendicular will
be forty-fve degrees. In other words,
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1888-08-28

suppose you take a huge carpenters
square and suspend it on the point OF
the protector, or lightning rod, SO that
each leg of the square will point down
ward at the same angle or inclination.
Now, imagine the square so balanced
to be revolved so as to describe a cone;
all points of the building included
with this cone will be protected. If
the building be a large one it may be
and often is more convenient to have
two or more points. These may be
connected by a rod running along the
top of the building and then united to
the ground, or each point may have a
separate and distinct rod-whichever
is most convenient or cheaper.
2. There should be a perfect con
tinuity in the rod and an efectual and
permanent connection with the deep,
moist earth. If practicable the rod
should be a continuous one, or joined
together by brazing or solder. The
lower end should 60 into the ground
at least six feet, or until permanently
moist earth is reached. It is an ex-
cellent plan to let the rod run down
into a we'll of water. If not convep-
lent to do this, dig a hole six feet deep
and after inserting the rod, fill the
hole a foot or two with old iron or
metal of any kind.
The rod should be large enough to
carry off the most powerful electrical
discharge. The conductivity of a rod
depends upon the metal of which it
is made and the area of it's cross Sec
ton, or it's weight per foot of length.
The fanciful twists and 1anges given
to many rods are simply fanciful-not
practical. An iron rod of one inch in
diameter is sufficient. A copper rod
of three-eights of an inch in diameter
would be equal to an iron rod of one
inch. Probably the very best rods
now made are of galvanized iron wire
rope, weighing not less han two
pounds to the foot. The glass insula-
tors usually employed are perfectly
needless, expensive, and possibly
dangerous. All metal cutters, roofing,
etc., on the building should be con
nected with the rods, and the rods
should terminate in two or three
gilded points which should be occa-
sionally cleaned and frightened. A
great deal has been written about
lightning rods, and the best way to
protect buildings, but the above COM
prises about all that is Of practical
value.-Southerm C~ultavator.
