Cabbage Culture.

OF all truck vegetables early and late
cabbages probably stand first for profitable
ness and ease OF cultivation, says A. B. Bar
rettin American CWItiudtor. The cabbage
is almost sure to succeed on heavy sandy
loan. and IL it is well fed it will be tender,
sweet and early. The market gardeners
near large cities raise it by the ton and they
are the heaviest fertilizers OF any class of
farmers. Their soil which is very valuable,
is saturated with manure, and every sue
ceeding season vast quantities are spread
over the already rich ground. This 10 really
the secret OF their success. IL ia a common
thing for them to apply from seventy to
100 tons of manure to the acre. and as a re-
suit each acre yields from 1900 to IL 200
heads Of cabbage. With such heavy manur-
ing it would seem that vegetable raising
could not be made profitable, even though
enormous yields per acre are obtained. 1t
could not De made very remunerative prob
ably for farmers living any distance from
the city, but there are two or three things of
great advantage to these market gardeners.
In the first place, the cost Of transportation
is deducted from their expenses as they
carry their own produce to the markets;
and second, the cost OF the manure is far
below the market price. There are many
small sta bles in The cities which are not Wis
tied by the collectors. and the owners are
only too glad to sell the manure for 81 a ton
IL the purchaser will cart 10 away. The
market gardener takes load Of stuff 10 the
markets. and then loads up with manure TO
take back with bin.
For early cabbage where manure cannot
DO obtained so cheaply sod ground should be
used and be pl0wed under not later than
October. The sods will then rot and fertilize
the soil before tho spring DecaYlng sod Is

The Lintless Cotton.

Our readers, doubtless have seen frequent
reference to a new variety Of cotton that
has no lint on the seed, and furthermore
they have seen some remarkable statements
about the immense yield of seed that this
new variety is credited with producing. 1t
has been made to appear that there was
more money to be made by growing this
lintless cotton purely for the seeds than
could possibly be made By growing the COM
mon varieties. A. NJ Ferguson of South
Carolina has set forth the ridiculous claim
that this new variety was originated by him
"by grating. -" and that it will produce any,
where from 200 to 500 bushels OF seed per
acre-1 300 to 2, 400 pounds per acre.
1t is possible thatquite a number of FARM
ers have been misled by these statements.
and are anxious to invest in this wonderful
plant and make fortune at once without the
tedious delay involved in cuItivating the
old varieties chiefly for their lint.
The horticuIturist of the Georgia expert
mental station made test of this wonder
full ntless cotton the past season, with the
following result.
The lintless was planted side by side with
different varieties, and in its habit Of
growth and general appearance was found
to resemble the Peterkin variety more than
any other. 1t bore about the same number
Of hollis per stalk that the ordinary varie-
ties do, but they contained nothing more
than black seeds, similar in appearance to
those of the sea island kind. The average
number Of balls per stalk was about seven
ty, which yielded at the rate 1918 pounds
seed per acre-about forty bushels.
AS soon as the bollsbecome ripethey burst
open and scatter the seeds like so many
pods Of vetch. and the sowing of the seed
becomes tedious and painstaking act.
The test made at the experimental station
Is sufficient to show that the lintless cotton
is not entitled to any consideration at all,
and no one should allow himself to be hum
plugged by parties interested in the sale of
the seed. In so far as you may continue to
grow the staple choose that variety that will
make the greatest quantity and quality of
lint possible.

The Bunch or vinelegs Sweet Potat,

The Bunch or Vineless Sweet Potato.
Among the novelties" OF the past two or
three years we know of none that has af-
forded us more satisfaction than the bunch
sweet potato. Some fifteen or sixteen years
ago the writer expressed the hope of seeing
before very long a bush butter bean and a
bush sweet potato, and also an Irish potato
OF southern origin that would continue its
growth, like the sweet potato, until
checked by October frost-that is from a
Planting made in the spring.
In regard to the butter bean our hopes
were realized several years ago in the intro
auction to the horticultural world OF Bur-
PEGS bush and Henderson's bush-two very
distinct types. Last year we had the reali-
Hation of our hope in regard to the sweet
potato-our ideal not exactly met, but near
enough to produce the most intense sstisfac-
Hon at natures kind response TO our hopes
and longings of decade of time. Possibly

WHERE sAPPHlREs ABOUND.
Even the Turkeys Find Them Near
the Missouri River.
From the Ne,p York Tim


From the Ne,c York Times.
"This sapphire was found In the oizzard
of turkey" said w. H. Reed Of Montana
to group of acquaintance at the Hoffman
house this week. He held up a beautiful
stone. pale blue and of no little brilliancy.
1t had been cut and polished by New York
lapidary, and Mr.. Reed said be proposed to
have 1t set. He placed it in a little case bs-
side number Of other stones-sapphires,
garnets and opals. There were twenty-
eight which had been cut, and Mr.. Reed
produced handful OF rough ones from his
pocket. They were found in Montana,
along the bed Of the Missouri river, about
ten miles from Helena. Some OF them came
from the tract recently purchased by an
English syndicate for $2.C00,O00..
''Yes, sir, that stone was found inside a
turkey repeated Mr.. Reed, land there
have been good many of the same kind
found inside the fowls kept by farmers all
through that country. The result is that
no farmer kills a turkey now without going
on hunt through its digestive apparatus
for precious stones"
"Sapphires must be thick along the bed OF
the Missouri" some one suggested.
There is a considerable section where it
pays to hunt for them," Mr. Reed said
They are found in the old bed of the river.
MANY tnousand acres Ia Inc vicinity have
been considered sapphire-hearipg lands.
Probably there are valuable stones on a
small part Of this territory"
How are they minedp
''In about the same way that the old.
time placer mining was carried on. The
gravel is gathered up aud washed. Sap
phires of all colors have been found in Mon
tana. and some Of considerable value. A
New Yorker has sold one at $50 a carat.
and jeweler IN London has sold one or

THE QUESTION BOX.
The Rurmuda Onion.

IN the market quotations OF the north
ern papers l see mention OF Bermuda
onions May / trouble you to tell me what
KIND OF onion this is, and is 1t grown in the
soIthF INQUIRER.
Bermuda onions are those raised In the
island Of Bermuda and shipped to the
United States. By looking on your map
you will find the island in the Atlantic
ocean. almost directly east from Charleston,
8. c., aud between 700 and 500 miles distant
from that city. The winter climate there is
very mild, as a matter Of course, the tenn
perature ranging from 500 to Use, with much
less daily range than it is here. Vegetables
planted on the island In the fall grow right
along without any interruption hardly, and
consequently they are matured much earlier
in the spring that they are even in Florida.
From Bermuda the cities Of New York and
Boston receive their earliest supplies of
onion, potatoes, beets, tomatoes and the
like, as it does not take more than fifty or
sixty hours to make the trip. Both white
and red onions are grown there. The seeds
are sown early in the fail, and as soon as
the plants get large enough are transplanted
70 the open field from November to jan
uary.
The onions are shipped to New York in
oushel crates. Wear told that the system
OF cultivation is perfect. and the yield from
zoo TO 500 bushels per acre. The first ship
ments made in January sometimes com
mand as high price as 90 per bushel. They
have TO pay a custom duty Of 40 cents per
bushel. But for this competition from Ber-
| muda the early onion shipments from
Florida and South Georgia would be more
profitable than it is, perhaps During the
winter of 1S90-'91 over $4,000 bushels of
onions was shipped to New York from the
island

When examining horse with view
