The Tond and the Centlpede.

In the Court house yard there are
quite number Of large, sleek-looking
toads. Ono Of these toads was seen by
the loungers about the place engaged in
an earnest attempt to swallow something
that seemed to tax all his energies. A
closer examination revealed the fact that
the toad had seized a oentipede by the
rear end and was slowly and placidly
slowing him away within his jaws, in
spite of the victims frantic efforts to es-
cape. Nearly one.half Of the reptile had
disappeared, when the centipede, with
the unenbumbered balance of his 100
feet, succeeded in getting a ground hold,
and with desperate effort freed himself
from the jaws OF the devourer, and was
moving rapidly away when the toad,
finally realizing the situation, made a
Jump and again caught his victim. This
time the centipede seemed to realize the
hopelessness of his situation and fran
tically turned to the right and left, each
time nipping his enemy severely upon
the lips and head, but all to no purpose.
The toad would coolly brush away these
attacks, first with one foot, aud then
with the other, all the time taking the
centlpede in, until at last nothing re-
manned but the toad calmly and sererely
seated upon his launches, considering
the next novel; Paso (Texas) Herald.

TRANspLANTrNa CABBAGE PLANTS.

tABBAGE PIANTSs
"For three consecutive seasons" SAYS
Professor Bailey, OF the Cornell Univer-
sity station, 1--WE have endeavored to
determine what foundation there may be
for the common notion that deep-set
cabbage plants give better heads and
larger proportion of heads than those set
at the normal or natural depth. 1t is
very general practice among gardeners
to set the plants to the depth of the first
leaf when transplanting to the field. As
exhibited in tables in Bulletin No. 81,
the results of three years tests show that
no advantage is to be gained by such a
practice"
In 1889 the experiment was tried upon
twelve varieties, about twenty plants of
each being set up to the first leaf, and
as many more set to the same depth at
which they stood in the seed bed.
Strangely enough, it appears that one
half the varieties gave better results from
shallow setting and the other half better
from deep setting. There were, however,
rather more heavy heads from the deep
setting. Combining all the results, the
gain in weight from deep setting was as
1850 is to 13.46, difference so small
as to lead to the conclusion that the par
ticular method of planting probably had
nothing to do with the yields.
In 1890 the test was repeated, the
early Wakefield cabbage being used for
the purpose. The plants were grown
upon heavy and rather poor clay loan.
aere the shallow planting gave decidedly
the better results, both in the percentage
of plants producing good heads and in
the average weight of heads.
In 1891 the test was again repeated,
this time with early Wakefield and Pre-
MUM Drumhead. The plants were
grown on rich and well-prepared loose
clay loan. aud all the conditions through
out the season were such as to insure 4
fair and uniform test. The average re-
suit was in favor of the shallow setting
so far as the weight of heads is concerned
but in favor of deep setting in the per-
centage of plants producing good or
mature heads, but the differences were
slight aud no greater than might be ex-
pected from two or more lots of plants
treated in the same manner. The two
varieties, however, gave different results.
The Early Wakefield gave better results
from deep setting and the Drumhead
from shallow setting. Upon the whole
the results of the entire investigation
leads to the conclusion that the depth at
which strong and stocky cabbage plants
are SCI does not influence the extent or

LOSSES oF EARLY LAMBS.

The most telling commentary on the
prevalent carelessness and poor manage.
ment among d-fashioned farmers was
their acceptance of the loss of consid-
cradle number of early lambs as a matter
of course. Those who were more care
full timed the breeding so that the lambs
were dropped late when there was COM
monty mild weather and good bite of
grass. In these days thousands of lambs
are born in midwinter, and such care is
taken of them that losses are very rare.
A basement stable warm enough by the
warmth from flock of sheep so that
water will rot freeze in it, is needed.
Then there must be green or succulent
food, roots and some bran or grain, to
encourage a flow of milk when the lamb
is dropped. The legs are carefully cut
so that ii is easy to get to the teats, and
if the weather is cold watch is kept so
that the lamb does not chill before it
can get to the teat and suck. After it
gets hold of the teat the lamb will
usually care for itself. OF course, lambs
thus cared for cost money, but they
bring money, too, and enough to repay
the cost. This kind of lamb growing is
very different, and also more pleasant
than the old way of keeping sheep, feed
ing mostly on straw with little hay,
and letting the earlier lambs, which are
always most valuable, die for lack of the
necessary attention.-Boston Cultivator.
