How to Raise CabbAge.
have been thinking for some tin

have been thinking Tor some time
that would give you few lines on how
to raise cabbage in our climate, and as l
am housed up to day by sickness and
rain, though it was very good time |;
and guess that your readers, as well as
yourself, will find that / am not accus
toned to writing for the papers. Never.
theless, some one may get some benefit
from my experience.
I will start off by saying, almost any
one knows how to SOW cabbage seeds and
when-most any time from the middle of
February to the first of May. Suppose
you want early cabbage, prepare your
ground we'll by plowing deep and close
then put on plenty Of COW or hog lot ma.
nure. Get the manure we'll stirred into
the soil; don't make great beds to set cut
the plants on, but just make marks, as it
were, to show where to set your plants so
as to get the rows straight. The rows
ought to be about thirty inches wide.
When your plants get large enough to
set out, pull them from the bed carefully
and not bruise them, and before you set
them be sure that you pinch off at least
half Of the main tap root, and in order to
keep the cut worms, these cold springs
we have. from cutting your plants, as
soon as you can get them, put few
china berries around the plant. Work
in q hurry, don't matter much how often,
and you will soon have cabbage. But in
order to help along, put on little ma.
nure about every two weeks.
Now, if you want late or winter cab
bage, prepare your ground as above
stated, and after your plants are set, just
work them little to start them to grow.
ing, then let them alone, except to keep
the vermin off, and as soon as you see it
is fixing to rain, put on q nice coat OF
COW or hog lot manure (lowl house is
good). AS soon as the ground gets in
good order, then plow or spade deep,
plow preferred, being careful not to
injure the plants. Then your cab! age
will grow. Don't be afraid of getting
your garden too rich.-A subscriber Al
Grecr's, s. c., IN Cotton Plant.

Few persons, probably, outside Of the
patrons are aware of the fact that q
school has been taught for several
months on Belton street, but such is the
fact. Mr.. JOS G. Stribling hes been,
since last September, quietly engaged in
the duties of his school, and We doubt
not has given satisfaction to his pa
irons, for his school holds up we'll, as
we found there last week. Mr.. Stribling
is a teacher of some years. experience,
and is an earnest, conscientious teacher,

him success, for ho deserves we'll at the

Teachers should l,y to get the parents
of the children interested in the school
and ills work 1t is, unquestionably,
one Of the keys that unlocks the door
of SUCCESS. The school will be talked
about, the teacher will be talked about,
and it is but natural that the parents will
want to know and see something of what
their children are talking about, and the
way to get them interested about you and
your work is to visit them, talk with
them and consult with them about your
work. No matter how ignorant man
may be, he has ideas and he likes to have
respect paid to these ideas, and nothing
is to be lost and a great deal is to be
gained by asking him sometimes for a
friendly opinion. Especially would we
urge upon teachers going into a strange
community to early mako the acquaint-
ance of the parents, and not to stop there,
but to cultivate that acquaintance, listen
politely to Suggestions, think them over,
aud then adopt or not as your own better
judgment may dictate. A capital way is
to invite the people to the achool house
some Friday afternoon aud have the reg
ular programme gone through with,
interspersed with some little exercises by
way of variety, and thus let :hem see you
at your every day work. 1t might be a
good idea to have little cards sent cut
saying "The pupils of Miss IS school
at home Friday afternoon. The pleasure
of your company is solicited" or some.
thing like that. We wish some teacher
would try This plan or some other, and
report results, for it is common expert
ence that it is hard TO get our people 10
come to The school house, But at all
events, by some means or other, get bold
of the parents as we'll as the pupils, Tor
the teacher who fails to do this will most
| likely fall short Of success.

We bad the pleasure of spending a
morning at the Anderson Female Col
lege, and through the courtesy of Miss
Maggie Evans, who has charge during
the absence of the President, Rev. a. A..
Marshall, we were shown through all the
rooms. We listened to recitations in the
rooms presided over by Misses Evans and
Watson among the "little folks" all of
which were practical and creditable to
the efforts Of the teachers. In Miss Olive
Browns room we attended the recitations
of an Algebra class, and heard Miss
Estel!e Burriss give ready explanation
of elimination by comparison illustrated
on the blackboard. In Miss Lucille
Nardin's room we found class wrestling
with the intricacies of geomstry, and
successfully, too. We did not have the
pleasure of meeting Miss Varina Brown,
she having finished her recitations for
the morning, nor of meeting Miss Mat
thews in the Art Room, but wo had the
pleasure of looking at some of her work.
