Why weeds are moro pertinacious. aggres-

Bown by the husbandman Is q question which
the American farmer would have been glad to
see answered by Prof. Gray. But in paper
onthe subject, published in lS79. while he ejecs
the replies suggested by other botanists, he
offers no explanation OF the phenomenon. He
does not dispute the facts that weeds are more
pertinacious than cultivated plants Though he
points out that any herb. however useful. when
successively aggressive becomes weed and
that most OF the weeds complained OF IN our
Atlantic States have come from Europe. But
he pronounces purely hypothetical" the the
ory that European plants are more plastic"
than the native American. and that they are
for that reason qualified to oust the latter. He
denies also that the weeds introduced from
Europe are more habitually self-fertilized than
the plants which they thrust aside. 80 that
the tendency OF weeds to dominate In any area
where they have acquired foothold Is left un-
accounted for.

W. J. Green, of the Ohio Farmers
Experimental Station, reports a very
great success in transplanting onions.
The seeds were s0wn in beds in green
house February %, which is consider
ably earlier than they could be put in out
of doors. The young plants were six to
eight inches high when transplanted in
April, at which time bed was prepared
and grown in the usual way. The
manuTing and cultivation Of each bed
was the same except the transplanting.
The onions were left three inches apart
in the row, which in those grown from
seed involved extra labor in thinning
nearly as great as that from transplant
ing. The difference between the two
beds was markedly in favor of those
transplanted, from the very first. Six
kinds of onions were experimental with,
and in each case the yield of those trans
planted was much the largest. Giant
Racca yielding 11O6 bushels and 500
bushels respectfully; Yellow Danvers
yielding 594 bushels and 389 bushels :;
Red Wetherfeld, 779 bushels and $50
bushels by the two methods. The
greater size and uniformity of the trans
planted onions made them much more
salable, and they also matured earlier.
Professor Green estimates that there was
nearly half the labor of cultivating saved
by having the onion transplanted. Even
were it otherwise, it is evident that
transplanting is we'll worth trying 1t
is especially adapted to market gardeners,
but any farmer who is far enough ad-
vanced to grow onions as a crop will also
need greenhouse, so that in this re-
spect he will have equal advantages with
the market gardener.

WHEY FOR FERTILIZER.

There may be as much fertility in whey
as in the best commercial fertilizer. A
farmer who did not have Paris green
enough to 60 over his patch of potatoes,
and the Colorado beetle being quite de-
structive, teste33 very sour whey as bug
destroyer. It's use checked the insects
somewhat, and he made two subsequent
applications of it. He found at digging
time that the whey had more than
doubled the crop. This could not be
attributed to the moisture Of the whey,
for the season was wet. There are other
evidences that whey and milk washings
are loaded with fertility. Let either of
these be thrown on the turf in the same
spot a number of times, and it will kill
the grass. The stencil soon arising from
such spot in warm weather is proof
that these substances contain much ami
NAL matter. washings should be
so disposed Of as to conserve sweetness
and fertility at the same time.-Noe0

BIRDSNEsT PUDDING.

Core and peel enough tart, we'll flaw
ored apples to cover the bottom of a
round porcelain pudding dish. Put
about half an inch of boiling water in
the dish with the apples. Cover them
with a plate and set them in hot oven
to cook for twenty minutes. At the end
of this time the apples should be tender
ard nearly cooked and the water en-
tirely absorbed. If any water remains it
should be gently turned off, but SO as
not to break the apples. Prepare an I'M
sweetened custard of five eggs and a
quart of milk which has been brought
to the boiling point. Add the eggs to
the hot milk, carefully beating them in.
Season the mixture with a saltspoonful
of salt, and pour it over the apples. 1t
should cover them. Replace the pud
ding dish in the oven without cover,
and bake the custard and apples till the
custard is firm in the centre. The oven
should not be too hot.-B0ston CuZti-

milk in the other, gently pressing the
head into the cup. The young SOW
should be brought to the boar for the
first time when about eight months old.
If she has been carefully managed until
that age she will be of good size, and
nothing will be gained by keeping her
longer minated. She should not be
pampered at any time, but be fed regu-
larly and be taught to run out in the
grass-feld from an early age. Breeding
sows can be kept, admit, in close sty
from years end to years end, but it
costs more to keep them in this way,
and it is more natural to give them a
grass run. The greater part OF the year
they will get most of their keep, and,
when not sucking, all the food they will
require in addition to grass will be a
bucket of wash morning and evening"

KEEPING CABBAGE IN WINTER.

The different methods of keeping cab
bage during the winter are as numerous,
almost, as are the varieties of cabbage
grown, and nearly all methods have their
records of success and failure. There IS
no doubt that much depends upon the
meteorological conditions Of the winter,
and that method which proved emil
nentlv successful during a severe winter
would give Indifferent results during
mild or open one. The cabbage grower
must therefore either strike a medium
or else adapt his methods to suit the
varying conditions of the winter. There
are two of the different methods of
storing cabbage which we have found
satisfactory. One is to select a high
piece of ground to afford natural drain
age. A light mat or bed is made with
dry straw, about the width of two cab
bage heads, and as long as may be de-
sired. The cabbages are pulled up, care
fully carted to this place and then, hav-
ing the outside leaves neatly closed
against the heads, the plants are placed
roots uppermost on the straw, and as
closely together as possible, making two
COAnpdCG rows. "a 1t" VI SGA q"
are put carefully on the cabbage and
earth is thrown on gradually to the
depth of about foot, drawing in the
roots to form the top of a ridge. The
earth is taken alongside of the row, thus
atfording additional drainage, while the
mound while the mound when finished
must be we'll packed down with the back
of the spade. When this is finished,
row of corn fodder is piled alongSeach
side to still further protect from the
weather. This will keep off both rain
and cold, if properly placed. in taking
out any cabbage during winter, at once
cover up the row to protect the remain
ing heads Another method is to plant
the cabbage roots downward instead or
inverting them and then pursuing the
same general plan as above. If there is
a root cellar (not underneath the dwell
ling house, as vegetables should never
be stored there), the cabbage can be
stored there in almost the same manner
except that no litter need be used, and
instead of earth a small quantity of sand,
there being but little covering needed to
protect from cold when thus sheltered,
and what is used being to keep the cab
bages from drying out. In whatever
manner cabbages are stored, if it IS de-
sired to keep in prime condition, the
roots must not be removed until the
heads are needed for use or shipment.
Rats and mice are very fond of this veg
etable, and growers must do all they can
to keep them out. AS the straw used in
storing makes fine nests for them and
the cabbage affords plenty to eat, these
rodents naturally like to find such quar-
tiers to pass the winter. -Ameriean Agri-

SELECTING A SOW.

An English swine breeder says that in
selecting sows three or four points de-
mand attention. First, the animal should
be strong and healthy. Delicate speci-
mems are frequently dainty feeders, and
they should be avoided, for they give
much trouble. Secondly, the SOW should
be long, and nave good shoulders, back
and loins. A narrow backed pig often
rises with difficulty, and frequently
smothers one of her offs pring. Thirdly,
long legs are to be condemned, for sows
which have this defect carry too much
of the race-horse in them. Lastly, there
should be a full complement of teats
He adds: at is very annoying to find
your SOW has but ten teats when she has
brought you a litter of twelve strong pigs,
for the two unfortunate members of the
litter which are not provided for must
either be killed (Which no one likes to
do) or be reared at considerable incon-
venience. Under such circumstances as
these | have found it the best plan to
leave the pigs with their mother until it
is clear which has to run short, and then
teach it to drink from teacup. This
can be very quickly accomplished by
holding the pig IN one hand and the

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Prepare ground we'll for winter wheat
AS the pastures shorten, iengthen ra-
tions.
Calves need to be fed their food at
blood heat.
Cruelty to an intelligent animal begets
viciousness.
Always have something On hand that
a team can do.
A good farmer is pretty likely to have
a good garden.
Keep ducks and geese separate from
the other poultry.
Turkey hens mature earlier, as a rule,
than the gobblers.
Don't pour your water on flower beds;
always use sprinkler.
The profits of poultry keeping depend
on attention to little things.
The semi-starvation of young stock is
one of the farmers absurdities.
AS rule, farmers cultivate their land
too poorly and SOW too much seed.
It does not pay to keep an animal for
its beauty. This world demands use.
Don't have your pigs teeth kept sore
by cracking hard, dry kernels of corn.
Don't think that because a pig is thor
oughbred he will thrive aud grow fat on
a less daily ration than the mongrel.
Let the stalls be separated by parti-
lions, not by bars. They prevent the
horses from biting and kicking each
other.
1t is said that typhoid fever has been
traced to dirty pig pen, the virus com
ing into the house on the urwashed feet
of flies.
Attend the fairs. farmers meetings
and institutes. If you have learned any
thing this season, don't be afraid to let
your neighbors know it.
The change from warm to cooler wealth
er and the hot days and cold nights
are apt to produce in horses, if not
looked after properly, severe colds.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
WE'LL SHOCKED CORN.

To do up corn shocks so that rain will
not penetrate them and they will stand
up straight in all sorts of weather is of
more Importance than is often thought.
The outside of the shocks will, of course,
be considerably Drowned, but within the
leaves should he nearly as green as when
cut. What is washed out of cornstalks
is mainly carbonaceous matter, good for
food, but of comparatively little value as
fertilizer. Hence its loss is absolute,
and not, as in the case of clover soaked
by rains, partly compensated by the fer
tilizlng matter washed from it into the
-Courier- journal.
