The second cultivation is given when
the plants are an inch high, and should
be crosswise Of the first blowing, once in
row. The field should be thoroughly
cleaned OF weeds by the time the plants
are two inches high. Discretion must
be exercised in thinning the plants, II
cut worms are numerous the hills should
not be thinned to one in place until
the plants are four or five inches high,
but at no time should they be allowed to
crowd one another in the hill. Some
bills will be wholly missing. These
should be reset from the Trimmings,
selecting the stockiest plants that
come up with good roots. The
oftener cabbage is cultivated the better
will be the crop. The ground should be
kept loose and mellow to depth of four
or five inches. Twenty times is not too
often to cultivate cabbage for the best re-
suits. Two or three hoeings only are
necessary, and the first is the only ono
that will take much time If thoroughly
done and the cultivator is used as it
should be. Breaking of the lower
leaves is no detriment, and their being in
the way should not deter the plowman
from running the shallow.cutting shovels
of horse hoe close up to the plants.
Cultivation should cease before the heads
begin to get solid.
am aware that but few cabbage
growers recommend to SOW the seed
where the plants arc to remain. But
most OF the writers on cabbage live
where the crop Is not SO often affected
by hot, dry weather in midsummer as
it is here. The cabbage plant has .
long tap root, SO long that the plant cam
not be removed without breaking it, and
when once broken it will never penetrate
the soil so deeply as before. In 1885
had two and half acres Of Late Flat
Dutch cabbage, grown without trans
planting, that yielded 16, 900 marketable
heads. Another acre of just as good
land was planted with the best plants
thinned out on a large field. The re-
turns from this acre were not over six
hundred good heads. and the results have
been with more or less variations, the
same through succeeding years OF
course this plan is advisable for late cab.

FaEsH NEAT ron rAnMERs.

Some OF the advantages Of old-fash-
Toned farmers lives are not so common
among farmers Of to-day as they once
we're. One Of these is having Al taste OF
fresh meat when desired, by killing a
sheep and perhaps changing with a
neighbor so as to use the mutton while il
is fresh. II circumstances do not favor
keeping sheep, the supply Of fresh meat
may be easily obtained by killing young
poultry once week or softener, aud
sometimes varying it by killing young
pig. Some farmers may object to this
last as wasteful. After all, counting the
speculative value Of the pig after it has
grown into hog, its meat does not cost
any more than the city resident pays for
much poorer cuts from the butchers
shop. And on the farm the owner of
the pig can afford to take it for his own
use at what it has cost him, taking his
profit in the extra enjoyment he will get
from eating fresh young pig rather than
salted pork from the barrel. 10 is by in
dulging in occasional luxuries OF this
kind that farmers show to others the ad =
yantages Of their position, and induce
their children and others to appreciate
the possibilities OF a farmers life

Many sheep-fatteners give their sheep
clover hay, and II is a good food for
them. But it ought to be remembered
it contains large percentage 81 nitro
genous food matter. We do not say
this to prevent them using the clover
hay, but to remind them that when they
increase the quantity they increase the
quantity Of nitrogen supplied, and an
allowance for this should be made when
arranging the amount Of corn OF cake.
Except for this, clover hay is one Of the
best rectifers as well as best foods that
can be given to sheep. As means Of

VEGETABLES AND TnuIr FOR HOMES.

VEGETABLES AND FRUIT FOR HOMES.
Too many farmers, neglect to supply
their own tables with any suitable va
riety Of vegetables and fruit. BY small
outlay Of money and labor every farmer
can keep his table supplied with sue
cession Of fresh vegetables through the
whole season. Spinach planted as soon
as the weather is suitable will furnish
the finest greens before other vegetables
come on, but if it had been planted in
the fall it would have come into its use
this month, under ordinary conditions.
Then radishes. lettuce, cucumbers, to-
matoes, peas, beans, sweet corn, summer
Squashes, beets, melons and turbar
squashes will furnish welcome and
wholesome addition to the farmers fare
throughout the season. If, in addition
10 these there are a few roots of rnu-
barb, bed of asparagus,a bed Of straw
berries and small collection of small
fruits, farmer may live IN luxury and
health, such as his occupation ought to
afford, instead of the tiresome monotomy
and scarcity of the good things of the
farm that many farmers put up with from
sneer carelessness, thoughtIessness or
lazness. American Farmer.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

FARM AND MAIDEN NOTESs
: Dig around the rhubarb plants.
Be on the lookout for early narrowing
sows.
Make q second planting of early gar
den crops.
Milk and grass are the best feeds for
young pigs.
Trees should be set out before they
start to grow.
No hog isIquite so rayenous as a SOW
that is sucking pigs.
At first give SOW bran and milk, aud
and then add corn meal.
Keep oil colonies strong. This is the
secret of keeping bees for profit.
Gladialusus come true when pro-
pagated from the small bulblets.
There is no special advantage in
setting out strawberry plants early.
Any Of the leading breeds of hogs are
good if they are given proper treatment.
The only safe plan of being sure of
saving all Of the pigs is to be ready for
them.
The Dawson rose, it is claimed, is a
valuable addition to the list of hardy
roses.
Seeds of hardy flowers ought to be
sown as early as the ground can be put
in order.
Good pasturage Of any kind will help
the brood sows materially to give good
flow OF milk.
The fiat cover is the best for all bee
hives. Itcosts less than the gable cover
and is more convenient.
Do not take the winter packing out OF
the second story of the bee hive till
time to put in section boxes.
When stock are first turned out to
grass care should be taken that they
have access to all of the salt and water
they want. !,
Sheep may be rid of ticks very salts
factorily by feeding sulphur, which
should be gwen in small quantities and
not too often.
II the acreage 10 meadow is not suffi-
cient to furnish a full supply of hay for
winter feeding it will pay to SOW millet
or Hungarian for hay.
In nearly all cases it will pay to har.
! row the potatoes thoroughly before the
plants make their appearance above
ground; it will help kill out the weeds.
The fat in the milk is the most potent
factor in determining the yield and
quality of cheese, and the quality of
cheese is largely affected by the amount
of fatlcontained in it.
Let the bees alone as much as posi-.
BILE. Decide upon some method and al.
here to it. The double hive method is
the best, and will give the best results,
I if properly carried out, if there be any
honey in the fields.
/ IS When cattle are turned in on clover il
will be BEST to turn in for one or two
hours the nrst day, two or three the sec
ond, SO that they may be somewhat &C.
customed to it. In this way the risk o.
bloat may be greatly reduced.

On. Of my neighbors by manuring
literally and emitting the eabbages on
every third row Of his cabbage piece, and
planting this to squash at the proper
time, succeeded in raising two excellent
crops the same season. To succeed in
this arrangement the cabbage must
be one Of the very earliest sorts, such as
Early Wakefield, so that the ground
may be entirely cleared at an early day,
and the soil between the squash rows be
cultivated until it is thoroughly light
and fine. The market gardeners close
by large cities on their thousand dollar
an-acre land must and do raise from two
to four crops annually, by aid of hotbeds
to start their stuff, and the stimulus of
near and large market in which they
can dispose of products on large scale,
which would be worthless If raised on
an ordinary farm; still, farmers at large
can do with profit more than they now
think possible in this direction.
Squashes and peas can be raised profit
ably on the same land. grew over 200
bushels Of green peas and five tons of
squashes on the same piece three years
ago. Beets, cabbages, rye, barley and
Hungarian are all crops which the farm

is one essential we must never forget
we must manure accordingly, for no one

majority of the Democratic Conversations
committee have committed themselves
by direct bargain with the Mormon church

territory, on q promise of three or four
votes for the Democratic national party In
the electoral college, and saying also that If
the object Of the above bargain be attained
through the agency Of the the Democratic
party, the result viii be dishoncrlne to the
national Democracy, ane will also imperil
the greatest prosperity OF this territory for
many years to come. After making these
charges they resolved that 1.-THE Salt Lake
