Caulihowar Cnltura.
Il. E. F., Jacksonville. Fla:

ID. Z. F., Jacksonville, Fla:
Yes, cauliflowers can be grown in the
south, but We doubt whether their culture
on large scale will prove very profitable
to the majority Of cuItivators. This veg
etaole is grown chiefly for the purpose Of
making pickles, and for this purpose there
are sections that give attention to their
culture. We have grown very fine cauli-
flowers In Middle Georgia, but only IN a
small way, and as the result of a most
palnstaking method that involved mulch
ing and repeated watering, but our expert
ence would not warrant US in commenting
their culture as a money CROP for the
average trucker"
There are sections of this broad country
where caulifiower growing is made very re-
inuneratlVe, but 1t is not likely that il will
DC made such in any part OF the south.
hollsnders and other foreigners are better
prepared to make caulifiower growing a
success than our native gardeners, and thus
lar very talr supply for commercial pur-
poses has been supplied by such growers in
the northwest Except for the purpose of
picking, the cabbage is more adapted for
culinary use in the south than oaulifiower
Henderson's Early SNOWFALL or Early
Erfurt are the best varieties. In the south
the Early spring crop is the most readily
grown, but crop can be grown in the fall
by the aid of mulching and watering.
Our experience does not warrant us in
commencing it as money crop" for our
truckers; but we are open to conviction on
this point, however If any Of our readers
can show 20 the contrary.
Our plan Of culture has been given in a
previous issue, which will be repeated If in
quiries warrant it.

Coverinp Strawherries.

1t is beyond question, says Orchard and
berry plants should be covered during win
ter and early spring. The object in 50 COW
ering is not 30 much to protect the plants
from freezing weather as to shade them
from the SUI and SO prevent the alternate
freezing aud thawing which usually takes
place when the suns rays become strong,
and by which the plants. II not protected,
are heaved or drawn out of the soil, and the
bud exposed to freezing weather, which is
usually fatal. Hence SO many unprotected
strawberry patches, u the blame for which
is often laid to other causes and not to the
true one-luck Of winter protection. There
need be no haste, however, in applying tine
covering.
Ia December, when the ground is frozen
and wagons can be driven over the beds
without sinking in the SOIL it is time
enough. The best material to use is strawy
stable manure, but there are other excellent
ones. Salt hay, evergreen boughs, refuse
cornstalks, straw, etc., all make a good GOV"
ering.
The material should be put on lightly, so
as to form porous covering, and for this
reason we do not find forest leaves so salts
factory as some other materials. for they
are apt, after having been exposed some
time, TO pack down closely upon the plants
and become dense mat
Common sense will dictate the extent to
which covering should be put on when its
object is understood. When the season has
sufficiently advanced in spring and all dan
ger of heaving out by frost has passed, the
covering may be removed from the plants
and will come into good service later for
mulching the soil about them.

The Best Grass.

A. ii. 9. asks what are the best three or
four plants for southern use.
There are SO many grasses and clovers
adapted to southern use it is difficult to say
which is the best threa-or four-tor any
particular locality. In previous numbers of
the NEWS we have enumerated q score or
more thatAare available for southern use.
1t depends upon the character Of the soil
whether certain plants will be the best or
not.
Perennials are more economical, as n
rule, than ANNALS. Under suitable condi-
tions Lucerne--or Alfafa-is an unsur-
passed plant. but it is a waste Of time to SOW
1t on poor, thin soil and expect it to succeed
without attention.
Texas Blue grass is a splendid plant for
the southern climate if its requirements are
met Herds grass is an excellent plaEt for
moist soils. The Burr clover and the Nell
lotus are excellent as forage plants and soil
improvers. For summer and fall pasturage
the Bermuda is unsurpassed.
Orchard grass is a splendid plant for
southern use if given proper soil.
Ii is useless to expect any Of these to give
profitable results ON WORKOUT soils, as many
have done.
johnson" grass sorghum holopense) Is a
splendid grass on the stable farm.
If you will describe the character Of your
soil and the purposes for which you need
grass-whetner for meadow or pasture-we
may be able to suggest combinations that
will give you satisfaction. A mixture Of
grasses is to be preferre1 to any single
plant.

A Chicken Cholera Cure.

Among the many different remedies for
chicken cholera. says a writer in Henry
county, Ohio, 1 have never found anything
SO effective as ground black pepper. Many
of our fowls have been cured by feeding it
to them in bran or corn meal, well moist
ened with water; If they are too sick to eat,
it is stirred into sweet milk and poured
down their throats in small doses. But
have learned that it is better TO use pepper
as preventive than as a cure. l think it
should be fed to the heus land very little
to the chiokens) often, especially during the
knowledge, cholera is the most prevalent. l
do not say that il will always cure or pre-
vent; but it is the best remedy that know
Of, and if poultry raisers used it more freely,
/ am sure there would be fewer cases of
cholera among their fowls.

A COUNTESS agRowNs waEATsn
In the Kitchen While She Sues For

IN the Kitchen Wh1le she Sues For q
Divorce From a False Count.
FROM the Neto York World. ~
Marie Stumpf was the wife of count,
now she Is cook in restaurant, Acting
the part of soubrette was one of the in
cidents of her life. It's queer tale, how
aud only got the position of cook. and it all
comes out through the medium OF divorce
mill. Aud while the mill grinds out her
freedom from gay and negligent count
the pretty countess is deftly browning
wheats In the "Gold CRUDE" restaurant,
Duane street and Broadway.
Count Louis Stumpf came here from Ger
many about ten years ago on account of
little affair of honor. On his arrival here
the counts handsome presence, ready tongue
and quick wit soon won him a way into the
SWEETEST German circles. He was member
of the Arion, the Liederkrsnz and other
clubs, where his spendings were always
prodigal, for he had plenty Of money then.
Among the places he was fond OF visiting
was the old ITALIA theater. What attracted
him most at this place was the bright, viva
cious face of the woman who finally became
his wife and later cook. He was witty,
romantic and fond of good eating and good
drinking and Marie, the soubrette, was
often in his company.
The marriage was solemnized on Feb. 12,
1889, says the complaint. and as the count
still had considerable money the honey
moon shone with dazzling splendor. 1t
was too splendid to last, and the absence Of
cash was the first thipg to cast shadows on
its fulness. But the COUNT undertook to
remedy this by opening money brokers'
Office on Canal street, where he dealt In
railway and steamship tickets Prosperity,
however, played hide-and-Seek with the
count. Then. it Is alleged, he tired of his
soubrette wife and returned to the gay life
of his bachelor days.
The countess, who was compelled to sup
port herself. consulted Lawyer Samuel Hy-
man of No. $50 Nassau street, and a COM
plant was served on the count asking for q
divorce about six weeks ago. The count did
not stop to interpose an answer, because it is
said, he was In financial trouble, which rem
dered his absence from the city imperative,
and the countess will get her divorce by de-
fault in caseshe proves the truth OF her
charges. The last heard Of the count he was
in Asbury Park. engaged as waiter in a
restaurant The suit is brought in the court
Of common pleas.

Poultry Diseases.

For cholera, a strong solution of hypo-
sulphite Of soda, given three times a day.
IN teaspoonful doses, is probably the best
remedy We have. For gapes, dip feather
in turpentine and insert into the windpipe.
For scaly legs dip them in kerosene two or
three times. For preventing packing Of the
crop, little sulphur should DO mixed with
the food once week in winter. This also
prevents Irregularities of the bowels, caused
by over-eating and constant production OF
eggs.

The Future-Wherein Should Our
Hope Lie.

The farming operations Of the year 1891
have been brought to close. The balance
sheet has been drawn. The result shows
either profit or loss. With the light before
us it is very just presumption that to
very number there has been only loss-to q
few only has there been satisfactory
profit.
1t is in order TO ask, What are the
hopes for the future? Do those who
have failed 10 secure profit this year sec
their way clear to atone for the errors OF the
past! Blessed is the hopeful man, however
slight may be the justification for the hope
that he has. Hope springs eternal in the
human breast May that hope pervade
every single soul who has reeped disappoint-
ment this year. The farmers of the south
are a hopeful class. The past has undoubt-
edly demonstrated that. We trust that the
hope that has sustained them all these years
will not fail them now. The majority of
farmers certainly have not done well this
year-their money crop has brought a very
low price, they have had lit
tie else to sell besides cotton :;
there are not many who have made a
superabundance of food supplies, The pro-
gramme for the next year should be decid-
edly changed, should it noti VIII 1t do to
continue the old policy Of cotton and corn2
Should not more grain, more grass, more
food supplies of all kinds enter into the flu
ture policyl The question deserves very
serious consideration.

a standard ration for flock composed OF
several different breeds, differing so widely
