Fruit-ErOWers in SSuthern New Jersey
re discussing the feasibility of sending
AZ fruit 10 the markets of the large cities
to be sold at auction instead OF on COM
mission. They claim that hy 50 doing
the frtlit viii bring the highest prices,
and that each grower can he present,
when possible, in order to inform him
self regarding the prices obtained and the
condition OF his fruit npon arrival.
President Lyon, in the Rural New
Yorker. prunounces the Erie and Law
non blackbevries not alike. He c0nsid. ]
ers tie Erie q harder variety. While
there i q similarity Ia habit Of growth
and also In fruit, careful comparison

season OF ripening the Erie is much ear

more Vigorous In growth and very much /
afdier.
= Bulls are dangerous animals, and
majority Of the injuries received occur
from placing too much confidence in
gentle bulls. which suddenly and mex
pectedly a1tark the attendant. A bull /
viii usually prove ohedient when young,
but i u seldom that 3 fully mAtured

training is possible.
Cabhage plants intended for producing
seed should be covered before freezing
weather. Place the cabbage head with
the greater portion of the stalk cut
of On the surface of the ground, the
ground slightly raised. and cover the
head wHn with dirt to protect against
frost. Early in the spring remove the
covering, and with q sharp knife make
two cross cuts on the head, and it will
soon send up the shoots for producing
SEED.
When sub-irriation can be practiced
which, however, fenends on the cost Of
preparation and pr0ducti0n). the farmer
or gardener win, in great measure, be
independent CT the weather. The most
important matter Is to arrange for q sup
ply uf vztar, which depends on the size
Of the plot or field to be irrigated. Steam
pumps. hand pumps and wind mills are
Fes0rted to ON level land, but the
streams, OF flowing wells and springs are
used whenever snch resources can he re-
sorted to. The practice OF sub-irrigation
is becoming extensive in portions OF
Florida On garden plots. and is described
u length IN the American Garden, the
details 0f which viii probably interest
many who experience the difficulties Of
too E1uch or insufficient raiT.
