APOLOGY for the Albatross Affair.

The much ado about-nothing" affair of the
Albatross has been satisfactorily settled by a
note of apology from the Government of the
United States for the late visit Of the Albatross
to the Galapagos Islands and the investiga-
tions made there by the scientific commission
on board, without having previously obtained
the consent of the Ecuadorian authorities.

The opposition in Venezuela last week began
q revolution against President Palacio's Gov
ernment with short battle near Caracas
The Government forces had the advantage, but
the position Of the present authorities is far
from secure.
This fight resulted from the postponement of
general elections by the President, and it is
thought that Guzman Blanco is secretly at the
head Of the revolt.

The Senate was not in session to-day.
In the House Mr.. Martin lind, d. asked
unanimous consent that the private pension
bills favorably acted on Friday evening be re-
garded as read third time and engrossed. and
that the previous question be regarded as or
dered upon those bills at o'clock on Saturday,
March 90. and 10 minutes be allowed to each
side on each measure Mr. Kilgore tTexas d.
objected.
Mr.. Smith fAriz., D. asked for the consider
alton OF bill amending the act approving the
Funding Act of Arizona, passed in 1880. The
bill simply provides that the interest on the
bonds shall be payable semi-annually instead
of annually. In order to meet objections raised
by the Alliance members Mr.. Smith moved to
strike out the requirement that the principal
shall be paid in lawful money of the United
States. The amendment was agreed to and the
bill passed.
Then Mt. Kilgore withdrew his objection to
the proposition made by Dir. Martin, and the
order was made for the consideration of the
bills on Saturday next.
The House then considered the resolutions Of
respect TO the memory Of the late Senator
Plumb, of Kansas, and at the conclusion of the
euiogies adjourned as further mark OF respect.

Gardeners Purchasing Seeds.

The fact thnt market gardeners buy the
seeds they use indicates that this is gen
orally best for others who grow garden
vegetables. The market gardener sells the
earliest and best grown fruits, getting
prices that are above what the seed would
bring. Besides, in the small area OF mos &
market gardens there is not chance to
separate varieties liable to mix, and seed
thus grown would be worse than useless
Those who make seed-Rrowing a business
are obliged to own or rent several places,
thus keeping the different kinds separate.
This is most true of melons and eucumbers.
Some mixing is always possible. as bees
carry pollen from flower to flower to q
much greater distance than the wind is
likely to do. Seeds by the pound are usually
sold cheaper, as well as better, than any
gardener could grow the small quantity he
needs. There is advantage in this division
Of labor, the seed grower being equally un-
able to grow market vegetables for family
use as cheaply as he can buy them.

Having just read an article in your paper
on the cultivation Of early cabbage for
market, says John Horsely in Home and
Farm. and as have had experience in
raising late cabbage, Thought would give
my method for the benefit of those who do
not live sufficiently near the railroad to
ship early cabbage. l have found this a
very profitable crop. The Flat Dutch
variety heads we'll for me. Seed should be
sown about the middle Of May In rich, new
soil with about fifty pounds of a good
fertilizer to the hundred yamds; it would
require about half pound seed to
sow that much land AMI would
bring about 10000 plants.
sometimes use canvas covering to pro-
tesr the, plants from the fly. The plant
should be set out from the last of June to
July 10. After a thorough test of the soil
best suited for cabbage I find any rich,
moist land will grow them, except sandy
and this will not answer at all; red stiff soil
is best suited andft should be prepared in
thorough way. The rows laid or with
shovel plow about three feet apart and some
standard fertilizer should be drilled in the
burrows, say $50 to 800 pounds to the acre.
The bills should be made in the burrows
about Two and one-half feet apart and care
taken to draw the fertilizer with the hoe
into the hills.
izsrs quicker and more freely than to any
crop l have ever tried. After the plauts
have been transplanted week or ten days
ny that time they will have a good hold.
They should be plowed and some dirt drawn
to the stalk with the hoe and the cultiyator
should be run through them every week,
especially after every hard rain, as the SOD
SHOULD be kept loose until they commence to
head I think two workings with the hoe
will answer, one about ten days after trans
planting, the other to hill them before they
commence to head. When heading the
worm is the great enemy to the cabbage,
and many remedies have been recommend
ed. Among the best are to drop dry wood
ashes in the bud, or to spr inkle water dilut
ed with kerosene oil; but the only infallible
remedy is to catch them as they come out
on the leaves before sunrise every morning.
Cabbage, when successfully raised is one
Of the most paying crops afarmer can raise,
for there will be about G, 900 hills in an acre
of land and ought to average cents a head.
or course there will be missing hills and
some will not head we'll; but say 900 will
head. This will make a yield of $l20 per
acre. Now IN tobacco frost will ruin the
crop and the farmer has to hurry to get it
cut. Not so with cabbage, for frost Is an ad-
vantage to them, and they can be sent to
market in crates or carloads in any
weather, the colder the better. The money
is made quicker than by tobacco, and farm
ers who live some distance from the rail-
roads and markets will find the raising of
late cabbage far more remunerotive than
the early, owing to their bearing long
TRANSPORTATION much better than the early.

The secret OF successful cabbage growing
may be said to consist of the following re-
quirements: Rich sou-that is. soil natu-
rally supplied with the several elements of
fertility which assumes also the presence of
plenty of humus in it,-seed of a good va
rieCy adapted to the climate, good prepara-
ton of the soil and good cultivation after
ward. It is very difficult, if not impracsi-
cable, to SO manure naturally poor soil as to
render ii suitable for making good cabbage
the first year or two. Now, if
YOU have soil that, without
fertilizer, will produce bale Of
cotton per acre you have the first require
ment. Even such soil as that will warrant
the application of 1000 or 1000 pounds of
good fertilizer if you wis make your crop
the success that you would like to see 1t.
Now there are over 100 varieties of cabbage
catalogued by our scotsman. and it is a fact
that where one will succeed in your climate
a dozen will fail TO give satisfaction. 1t Is
therefore important that you make prooer
selection. Ii you have neighbors who suo-
coed with cabbage, learn from them what
kind they use.
Several varieties we can recommend as
more than likely to prove q success If your
soil is properly rich-the Winnigstadt, the
short-stemmed Brunswick, for early and
medium; the Florida Sure Header the Gold
Medal Flat Dutch for late. For winter
growing, to head early in the spring, the
Improved American Savoy; the Drumhead
will also probably give you satisfaction.
To name only one kind we should name the
Improved Bruns wick-a cabbage that has
always given us satisfaction. You must
get good strain of seed from
some reliable scotsman, who will guarantee
their quality. You can get seeds under all
of these names that will fail to make good
crops, while a good strain raised by soue
honest painstakipg grower will meet every
expectation.
If you do not know of a reliable seeds
man who will supply you with 1rst-class
seeds, we can send you the address of suoh
by mail, If you desire it,
For the earliest spring crop seeds should
be sown the last of September and set out
in October and November, dividing the
crop with an early and g late kind For the
winter Drop plants of late variety, like the
Gold Medal, Flat Dutoh, or Improved
Drumhesd, should be set out In May and
June. 1t cabbage insects abound in your
locality, 1t requires great care and watch
fulness to make this summer crop q success.
OF course, it requires experience to enable
you to make the highest success with cab
bages. The midsummer crop is made from
plants put out in February and March.
We will give additional notes on this SUBJ
ject in following issues It Is poor BUSH
