BRUSSEL SPROUTS.

This is another vegetable of the extensive
germs brassica that is little cultivated in
southern gardens. Now aud then we find it
growing in the home gardens. but compar-
ing 1t with the collard it cannot be esteemed
popular vegetable for supplying green's.
Its culture is about the same as that Of
collards, the plants being set out from May
to July. 1t can a.so be planted along with
turnips in August and September. The
little miniature heads that grow out from
the stems is the part used. These resemble
somewhat a small cabbage, and after being
touched by frost make a very nice dish to
those who like boiled green's These little
heads, if prepared as spinish usually is,
make dish much superior to collards or
kale.
The collard is more generally cultivated
Tor greens than any other plant, aud yet it
Is much inferior to Boussel sprouts as well
as to spinach. We have so many plants
that can be used as greens 1t is n surprising
that there should be a difference in judg-
ment as to which is the best. Some prefer
one, and some prefer another, but, it must
be admitted, the collard has the lead of
them all, and vet in delicacy it is inferior to
b ussel sprouts. There are several varieties.
The Dwarf Improved is as good as any.

TO draw either hay or straw long distances
TO be fed on the farm. But of the grain
foods the character and nutritious Of differ.
eat kinds show great and important varie-
tion. Some. like corn, are mainly carbon
eous, While wheat bran and mild .ings
are more largely composed of those nutri-
enis that are variously known as albumiN
noids or the che meal term protein. Linseed
and cotton seed meal and oats contain large
amounts OF both these elements, aud are
therefore much more valuable.
In the markets these necessary protein ee-
ment which a g absolutely essential in AMI
NAL nutriti N do not command much, If
any, higher prices than those composed al
most wholly of carbon, which can only be
used for furnishing heat and laying on fat
Corn meal is very nearly the same price by
the ton as oil meal, while wheat bran and
middings are generally cheaper than corn.
Hedce it is better policy for the farmer who
has to buy feed to get the mixture OF bran
and oil meal, which affords richer manure
and more perfect nutrition, than to buy
corn. He can grow corn with less exhaus-
ton of soil than he must make IN growing
the bran of wheat or the meal that remain
from fax eed after the oil has been ex-
tracted from it. Oats are nov considerably
dearer per pound than any other grain, yet
considering the extra value of oats as feed,
and also the more valuable manure made
from this grain, they form a desirable ra-
ton.
Almost everywhere farmers are being
confronted by the necessity for purchasing
manures. The commercial fertilizers de-
pend mainly on the phosphate and nitrogen
they contain for their manurial value. We
do not wish to discourage the use of these
commercial manures, as if rightly used thew
are the most effec i've means Of Immediately
increasing crops, and that too with profit.
But farmers who find themselves obliged to
buy these manures should study the compo-
stion Of various grains and feeds and thus
learn whether they may not buy the richer
feeds at rates that will enable them to in
crease the value and amount of homemade
manures. 1t will also lead them to grow
more sparingly of crops which exhaust
these expensive elements of plant 70 ID, and
cultivate more those tnat derive their con,
stituents mainly from the air.

How to Plant Trees.

With the numerous excellent books and
papers in every branch of horticulture now
to be had so cheaply, says Prof. T. V. Mum
son, it seems almost needless to offer instruc-
ton on so simple matter as planting a tree,
yet so often is the question asked by Gus
mers, that try to answer here for all who
do not know; Make ground thoroughly
mellow at least fifteen inches deep and
three or four feet wide every way, If holes
are to be dug; thorough lowing of entire
plat is preferable if it can be done. Prune
the tree close. straighten out roots evenly,
having the tree standing the same depth it
was in nursery; work fine, mellow soil-but
no manure-an among the roots, and when
they are all covered an inch or two, then
D ess the soil very firmly down wi the
foot or a broad-ended maui, after which fill
up evenly with loose soil, over which place a
mulch If rotten straw or manure three or
ur inches deep, extending three feet every
way from the tree. Whe her the mulch Is
put on or not, keep the soil well cultivated
about the tree. In this climate all fruit
tr -es should be headed low and leaned a
little to the southwest when planted.

Profi5 in Corn Growing.

Wherever corn succeeded last year it was
one Of the most profitable crops that the
average farmer could grow on large scale.
Most of the special crops return tile to the
soil, and thus can only be grown on a small
part Of the farm without exhausting fer
tiIty. Corn, even when part Of the grain
is Sold will make a great deal of stock feed
nut on most eastern farms it is worth more
for feeding than to sell, and thus makes the
nasis of a large manure heap. We say {
bas for corr is so largely carbon that ma
nure made from it needs addition of nitro.
gen and phosphates to give it the higest
value. 1t is from feeding hens largely on
corn that IN st of the disappointment In using
hen manure arises When hens are fed with
egg-producing material their manure il
richer than that of other domestic animals
for in making eggs they never use
but small proportion of the egg material
that they consume.

The Crane.

No one kind of fruit is so safe and profit
able everywhere as is the grape. remarks
the american CultiUdtor. There are large
portions Of the country where a few late
varieties will not ripen; but even near the
Canada line, and in some parts of Canada
itself, grapes of the highest quality can be
grown and perfectly ripened. Even at
comparatively low prices there is more
money in this fruit than in any farm crop
requiring as little labor. Six to eig bit tons
of Concord grapes have been grown per
acre after the vines get into full bearing,
and at the low price of 2 ce It's per pound
this affords a handsome profit over ex-
penses. There are other grapes, like Wor-
den, fully as good and productive as Con-
cord, and a week earlier, besides others which
may produce slightly less. but will Away,
bring a higher price. The Delawar re
is nor reckoned strong grower, aud both
berry and bunch are small. But three to
five tons of Delaware grapes to the acre are
not uncommon, and the fruit is judiciously
Uhinned this amount may be ripened with
out il jury to the vines.
The management of grape vines, includ-
ing the gathering and marketing OF the
fruit, requires and will pay for superior in
tellIgence. Most OF the work is not so Sc
we're as that usual in growing farm crops,
and great deal of it in most successful
vineyards is performed by women. The
planting of few acres with two or three of
he best kinds of grape vines is better as
surance of good income ne year with an
other than the investment of small sum
of money in any other business. Even III
present year. when other kinds of frui
have generally proven failures, the grape
crop has been large and we'll ripened.
Ora pes this year have brought better prices
than usual, and some growers have sold. or
will sell when they finish, as much as $500
per acre.
The Leal hfulness of grape growers is
we'll known. Those w wCrk at harves ing
during the two months that his work is il,
progress always gain weight. and those
who begin with pale cheeks cone out rugged
and healthy at the close. OF course no
picking of fruit can be done IN da mp
weather, but even on rainy days there is
plenty to do indoors in packing the fruit in
boxes for distant markets. When starting
in the business of grape growing, it is ad-
visable to select l. caltes where previou-
succe 'ses have shown that they are adapted
to this fruit, and to be guided in selection OF
varieties and general management by those
who have had successful experience.
