TYING Up CABBAGES.

The tying up of the leaves OF early
cabbages is much practiced by the Lon
don cabbage growers, and an English
gardening authority says it is to be much
commended. The operation is simple
one, just, in fact, similar to that adopted
in the case of Cos lettuces. The soft
outer leaves are folded carefully around
the heart or centre of the plant, and the
whole is bound firmly with wythe or
piece Of bast. The centre being pro-
tected from the weather, the cabbages
heart sooner by two or three weeks than
they otherwise would do, and they are
more easily handled in gathering and
packing for market. Compact little
cabbages are always preferable to loose
ones.-Nelo York Witness.

ROAD MAKING.

In an address read before the Missouri
State Board of Agriculture were named
the following ge-eral specification for
public roads: i. All public roads
should be located on the shortest, cheap
est. best and most practicable route be-
tween the termini, regardless of section,
quarter-section or farm lines-especially
where they materially interfere with pub
lie travel. 2. No public road should be
less than forty feet wide. Less than this
does not give space for the proper road
bed and bitches 3. No grade should be
allowed on public roads greater than one
foot vertical to fifteen feet lineal. Sleeper
than this is almost unfit for public travel
and dangerous and very difficult to main
tain. 4. The road-be should not be less
than twenty feet wide between brims and
sufficiently elevated above the side
bitches to secure ample drainage. Ample
and proper drainage is the great secret of
good roads"

"SOld Their King for a GrOat. y"

The expression The Scots sold their
King for a groat'' originated thus: Dur
ing the civil war in England, between
the roundheads and the cavaliers, Charles
l., after the battle of Naseby, in 1915,
in which the Royalists were defeated,
was forced to hide himself in the Scot
fish camp. The King was given up to
Parliament in 1916, for 5000, 900. Some
industrious mathematician computed that
this sum was just a groat apiece for the
population of Scotland. Hence arose
the above saying. Detroit Free Press.

SALT FOR ANIMALS.

Why do animals need SALT Because
animal fat is an epitomc of mineral and
vegetable matters, and salt is a medium
between them-a compound of these
compounds in certain definite proper
lions, and grass and grains do not sup
ply sufficient proportion to complete
the animal compound and are not there
fore complete nutrients. Horses fed
on an excess of grain, i'll disproportion
to most fibrous plants, will eat the ground
with avidity when they can get at it,
and it supplies, in a measure, corrector
of vegetable acidity. Salt being a
chloride Of sodium, furnishes both chic
rine and soda, the latter being a neutral
izer of excessive acidity, especially de
rived from grasses; pampered horses
should be provided with the following
ball, always within easy reach; First,
make Il strong brine Of rock salt with a
tenth of saltpetre in it; then get Il spit
of pure clay and half a gallon of fresh
wood ashes, and Of these make mix
ture, with sufficient water, and roll into
a ball and dry. Keep this in till of the
manger, clean and always in reach of the
pet animal, just as the grass and ground
in his native wild. AS l have said, the
horse is an epitome of all that he will eat
in health, and this is why they nourish
and build up each -Pjcayune.

West Superior is destined to become a

proofs are there Of a marvellous growth.

to prevent it from glowing future
looking at it from whatever standpoint
we may. This is the first notable fact
that is impressed upon the mind OF
every stranger who visits that city, and
that impression grows stronger as the
visit is prolonged. Another matter of
particular notice il this progressive
city of which we speak is the number Of
bachelors, ranging from 20 to 40 Years
of age, who are to be found there. One
would think that the government had
had something to do in setting West
Superior apart for them, in making 1t a
sort of rendezvous tor bachelors. but 1t
hasn't done anything Of the kind. nor
is there any real desire on their part for
such deplorable action as this. Young

from various sections Of Wisconsin and
Minnesota, particularly, during the past

have done so almost without exception.
