Bursting of Growing Cabbage.

The bursting of growing cabbage may
very easily be prevented by selecting the
heads which show signs of bursting and
starting the roots by pulling or cutting
off some of the roots with hoe. The
pulling process is preferable. Putting
both hands under the head ! pull until
many of the roots are loosened and then
the plant is pushed over to one side.
This treatment effectually stops the
bursting, and not only that, but the cab
bage continues to grow Justify, and I
have had the qualification of seeing
heads thus treated grow to double the
former size and weight, and all due to
this starting the roots which checked the
growth enough to prevent bursting, but
not enough to hinder further develop
ment. There is no excuse for allowing
cabbage to burst when so effectual means
are at hand to prevent it. t.--National

A doctors UnooIIeeted Fec.

Several years ago / was under DR..
Smithers Of Galesburg, Ills One day he
was called to treat patient who had
been seized with severe attack Of collie.
The patient was one of the richest bust
ness men in Galesburg, and was noted
as being very penurious DIR. Smithers
found his patient hardly able to talk,
but between his groans he managed to
say to the physician, "Oh, doctor, /
don t think you can do anything for me,
but II you can save my life ] will give
you $780," DIR. Smithers smiled and
started to administer relief. In few
minutes the patient remarked to the
doctor that he did not think it was any
use, but II he was cured he would owe
him his life. Six months later Dr..
smithers sued him for small fee Of 90
for one visit. Kansas City Journal

In front as well as behind and at the sides,
and how any woman not professional
athlete can carry such garment with Its
Innings is inconceivable.
Large fans are going out of fashion, and
the small pompadour style is now carried
by up to date women. This diminution OF
size means no decrease of cost, however, as
fine workmanship and being at the very
point Of fashion bring the tiniest trifle to
high pitch Of expense. The large fan is,
however, always picturesque and will
doubtless come into favor again In course
of time so 1t Is worth whife to put it
away In lavender until Its time comes
around once more.

Points In Corn Culture.

A bulletin from the Indiana station
gives summary Of conclusions from a
series of experiments in corn culture:
The best yields of corn have been pro-
duced by planting in the first third OF
May. Late planted corn has matured in
20 days less time, as a rule, than the
early planted. Thick planting has pro-
duced higher average yields of both corn
and stalks than thin planting. In very
dry seasons thick planting has produced
less grain, but generally greater total
yield of grain and stalks than thin plant
ing. Flowing eight inches deep has pro-
duced slightly greater yields OF corn than
either shallower or deeper blowing. Ro-
tation of crops has proved an excellent
means Of sustaining yields of grain and
of conserving soil fertility.
A liberal application of fresh horse
manure has not been fully exhausted by
dozen successive crops of corn. Fresh
horse manure has produced an aggregate
increase in yield of corn of about 1870
bushels per acre in 12 years. Heavy
dressings Of manure and commercial fer
tilizers have not made profitable returns
in yield Of corn in dry seasons. Differ
ent varieties Of corn show very wide
range in proportion of stalk and ear
and make it easy for the stockman to
select variety that will produce large
or small percentage Of grain. The CO.
operative test of varieties of corn indi-
Gates the undesirability of getting seed
from remote localities.

SIZE OF FUTURE FARMS.
Small Farms Are Increasing Through tn
West, Especially In the Dairy Districts.


Small Farms Are Increasing Through the
West, Especially In the Dairy Districts.
A great many eastern people have
been deferred from entering upon farm
ing in the west because they have been
taught that one must own large farm
and have lots Of agricultural machinery
to make success, and their limited
means would hardly permit Of all this.
A prominent eastern journal goes so far
as to say, "The poor man or the man
with moderate amount Of money can
not hope to secure farm anywhere in
the west large enough to make it worth
while to spend the best part Of his life
in cultivating it."
Following are some comments made
in The American Cultivator ON the fore
going statement:
Just at present the average eastern
farmer, including market gardeners,
dairymen, fruit growers and all mixed
farmers, is probably better off ON his
10 and 20 acres than his western broth
ers on their 100 acre farms, and he is
making better living. Now the con-
ditions between the two are somewhat
different, and one must study them
carefully If he would get at proper
understanding Of the question here pro-
pounded.
The eastern farmer is better off be-
cause he has found out from experience
that ten acres are often quite enough
for one man to farm, and that when q
farm Of this size is properly run it pays
good living. His whole life is O
steady one and not a speculative one.
The western man, with his hundreds Of
acres, CANDLES. He takes chances with
the weather and trusts to luck. If his
crop turns out well, he makes, but il
the weather is against him he probably
loses all and brings a mortgage upon
the place. This has been the trouble
with western farmers in the past, and
the west is just realizing that it needs
farmers now and not farming specula-
tors There is no such chance to make
big profits in the east, and the dairy
men of New York and Pennsylvania,
the fruit growers Of New Jersey and
the Hudson river and the general mark
ct gardeners Of Massachusetts settle
down quietly to their farms and make
them pay because it is steady job and
sure one if properly worked.
There are plenty Of indications that
small farms are increasing through the
west, especially in the dairy districts.
Genuine farmers are now taking up the
land that the speculators failed with,
and they will do considerable in the
next dozen years to pay mortgages
Young farmers who understand their
business do not require large estates in
the west, as they have been taught to
believe They will do much better to
buy one-tenth the amount of land and
put the rest Of the money in the Bank
or in improvements.

Stoops low the drinking deer.
Yet never shall my noisy oar
Push out from its untrodden shore;

Serene, unhaunted, let IL lie.
Here may the heron plash and scream,
And here the redbird's plumage gleam.

That swing their ponderous scythes,
The sea when flecked with swanlike sails,
Or when IL foams and writhes.

The curtain from before my soul,
More richly blest, that all may share

Curtis, Neb., June Curtis lake
burst from its banks late Sunday after
noon, and the volume Of water released
carried destruction through the Medi.
cine valley. The lake covered an area
of 100 acres, and was constructed as an
irrigation reservoir, and incid entally to
furnish power to the Curtis roller mills.
An enormous dam was built across the
mouth of Wild canon, where it inter-
cepts the Medicine river at this point,
and all the water drained to the terri
tory from the north was confined in
the artificial basin. The enormous flood
Of water that has passed into the lake
during the past five days was too heavy
for the dam. With roar that could
be heard several miles away, a wave OF
water 10 feet high rushed down the
valley, carrying every thing in its path.
Horses, freight cars, stock and a noun
tain of debris was caught up and
dashed about like feathers.
f. Railroads Undermined.
The fine roller mills which occupy
the east side of the great ravine received
the first shock Of the torrent and were
almost ruined. The loss is estimated
at $4,000. A few hundred yards be-
low the mills. Medicine river passes
under the railroad tracks of the Bur-
lington. When the flood struck this
narrow defile it's progress was impeded,
but only for an instant, then the heavy
embankments gave way and the wall
Of water rushed through, cutting
path 100 yards wide. A number Of
freight cars were standing on the tracks
close to the point undermined and were
precipitated into the river, being car
ried down stream like straws. Much
OF the track was left spanning the
chasm, while other sections were car
ried over bodily by the great pressure
of the flood. The railroad company's
loss is about $4,000. AS the wall of
water passed beyond the city, it rap

were correspondingly decreased. The
damage, however, was merely shifted

by several feet of water, and fears are
entertained that the crop will be per-
manently destroyed. All details from
the south where the torrent passed in
dictate very extensive damage. Farm
products of every description were en-.
quilted and in many instances where
the homes of the farmers were in the
Immediate vicinity of the valley, the
disaster was almost ruinous. Small
buildings were swept away or under
mined in such manner as to be rem
dered worthless, and in some sections
the water rose so rapidly as to seriously
menace the lives of families. No loss
of life has thus far been reported.
Twenty miles to the south where the
Medicine valley is confined to small
space, it is believed the damage will be
heaviest. ~....".

Mamma.

Mamma is the concentrated Juice Of
several plants which grow in great
abundance in many parts of south Eu-
rope, Asia and Africa. The tree which
most generously produces it is a sort Of
ash. The juice exudes from the stem
during the summer months, as a conse-
quence Of the punctures of an insect
that infests the tree, but the better
kinds Of mamma, known as flake man
ma, are obtained from incisions made
in the bark. The poorer qualities come
from the bark near the roots of the tree.
