feet apart in the rows. If used at all the
following year it should be sparingly. cut
mig only "a few stalks from each plant.
After that the stalks may be cut freely. II
treated properly the plants will endure for
many years. y dozen or two plants will
afford good quantity of pie material for a
sma!ly family. Unless the soil is naturally
very rich it will be essential to top dress
around the plants in the winter with stable
manure, to which is added q small quantity
OF phosphate and kainit (or ashes. If the
soil is clayey it will be well to mulch about
the plants with straw or leaves In fact,
even If the soil is a good sandy loan the
mulching will be beneficial IN our climate
wherever it is practicable every family
garden should have an asparagus bed and a
few dozen rhubarb plants. Rhubarb pie
IS one OF the incest of dishes There is very
little difficulty in the way of securing the
plants If one sets about it rightly.
There are several varieties-the Liner
nBus, which is considered the earliest. The
stalks of this variety are green. Wyatt's
Victoria Is very productive late sort with
broad leaves; the stalks are red aud stand
very thick on the stem. The ''St Martins
variety is excellent, having a large stalk
and is very productive and has fine flavor.

Fighting the Ground Mole.

Wherever the common ground moles
take possession of light soils, free from
stone, they become a great nuisance and do
an immense amount of injury to lawns as
well as small plants in the vegetable
and flower garden, says A. 8. Fuller in
american AgricutturiSt If we scatter
barnyard manure In drills or trenches made
for the reception Of pease, beans and other
seeds, a mole is pretty certain to find it.
and burrow under the entire row, lifting up
or breaking off the roots Of the young
plants, causing their destructi on. If fork
full of manure is dropped in a hill for
melons a mole will soon show us that he
knows it and how to work in circle until
every seed has been dried up, or plant de-
stroyed, and if the manure is spread broad
cast then the moles travel in the same way,
producing broadcast destruction.
1t does not help us TO be informed that
the moles are only seeking their natural
food, aud have no desire or inclination TO be
mischievous, but they are all the same, and
the food they seek is generally the harmless
angleworm and not the larvae insects as
many writers have claimed to shield the
lnoles from total condemnation. If mole
was very hungry and there were no angle
worms to be had he would no doubt make a
meal of white grubs; in fact, | have tested
his taste for different kinds of food aud
have found that he preferred the angle
worms. and would root up several square
wards of lawn in seeking his breakfast
Traps are generally recommended as a
very satisfactory means of destroying
ground moles. and if well made and of the
right pattern, and then properly set, the
mole stands but poor chance of escaping
a thrust from the steel points. Unfortu-
| nately my grounds are surrounded by
farms that seem to breed moles as freely as
they do the oxeye daisy, and so l have to
defend myself against trespassing moles as
well as against the natural increase Of the
| home stock. 1t is now about twenty years
since first began to use the modern mole
traps and l may say with fair success, for
| the number of moles caught every summer
with them will average for the years named
about twenty-five. or say 500 in all, but this
slaughter has not extermineted the pests for
we caught and killed thirty-three during
| last season. | have tried poisons OF various
| kinds but with no apparent beneficial re-
| suits. and even bi-sulphlde OF carbon
poured into their burrows only drives the
| moles to new grounds a few yards distant.
| The noxious insects have never given me
| half the trouble nor proved as great pests in
| the garden as the ground moles, ana while
| | shall probably continue to use traps 10
order to keep the pests in check, am anx-
| iously looking for some better and more
rapid mode of determination

Putting a Head on Cahhage.


What must do to make my cabbages
head up hard? Mine fail to do so.
A.-Waut Of high manuring and lack of
proper cultivation are the principal causes
for failure in either early OF late cabbages
to head up hard, in this section, where sue
cess is generally met with. There are sec
tions. however. and these among market
gardeners. where the highest culture and
most liberal manuring are applied,
where late cabbages fail to give
satisfaction, though such have excel
lent success with the early varieties. The
cause for failure i'll such localities | have
never heard explained, and, not being ac-
qaainted with all the facts, would not haz-
ard an opinion. If in the same region
Others succeed in getting hard heads where
your correspondent fails, then doubtless
there is a removable cause. Let him manure
at the rate of eight or ten cords per acre Of
good stable manure, dropping heaping
tablespoonful of complete fertilizer in each
hill and mixing we'll with the soil before
planting the Seed then just before giving
his plants their first hoeing, scatter about
half handful of unleached wood ashes
rich in nitrogen tends to make, on some
soils. a great growth Of leaves, and though
large heads. yet not very hard ones. The
hardest heads of early cabbage | ever
raised were on piece of land where my
foreman by mistake spread over 300 bushels
per acre of unIeached wood ashes two
years before. This was not wasting the
ashes, for ashes do not waste in the soil !;
they remain accessible to crop after crop.
simply lost the interest on my money. For
the past three years the fertilizers on that
land have had no potash, for they needed
none. If when full grown the heads are
soft, they cannot be made hard by any pro-
cess l am acquainted with. j. J. ii.
