In my experience, cabbages are most
economically grown by giving only a
moderate manuring of farm-yard ma
nure. and then applying repeated dress
ings of nitrate of soda. This can be
most cheaply and effectively done by
dropping small quantity near the root
of each plant, where l cwt. per acre
will do as much good as cwt. sown
broadcast or along the drill. This
should be done as soon as the plants
have thoroughly begun to grow, and
should be repeated at intervals of three
or four weeks, until the crop thorough
ly covers the ground. In this way you
may economically expend from cwt tc
4 cwt. of nitrate of soda per acre, and
think you will find it more profitable
than depending on the dew,-Rura

NOTES FOR GARDENERS.

MAKING hot bed is not very great
task and it advances the season weeks
sometimes, when the spring happens to
be late.
WITH good garden there is health
and variety of food, both very desir-
able, not to speak of the saving IN
household expenses.
PUT an extra coat of SOIL or what is
better, coat of coarse manure, over
the potato and turnip pits before more
severe weather comes.
IT does not hurt eabbages that are
buried to freeze once, but if allowed to
freeze and thaw and freeze again, it is
spoiled. After the ridge is frozen
through. cover it with straw and it
will not thaw out until spring.
A WELL KEPT garden is an ornament
to any farm and tells the passing
stranger that the owner is proud of his
profession and who believes in hav-
! ing the comforts of life when they can
be gotten as easily as n supply of gar
den stuff can.
If sods are cut into squares foot
each way and placed upside down on a
hot bed or cold frame and seeds planted
in them the plants, when large enough
to transplant, may be lifted with the
sods and set in the garden without
stopping growth. In this way we have
transplanted beans, cucumbers and
many other things that are not usually
transplanted.-Springfield iO) Farm

possible to operate it, is equal toa run

tions and add hours of real pleasure to
their daily labors.-Ohio Farmer.

following retrospect:
"1n the year 1s42 was sent by the
company to the post of Hazleton on the
Sl<eena river, with orders to close 1t up
and withdraw quietly out of the coun-
try. The Indians had become so trou-
blesome and threatening that the com
pany's property and the lives of their
employees were in danger. The trade
of that particular post had become so
small that it did not warrant the keep
ing up of the station any longer, es-
pecially under the existing aircum-
stances. / arrived there so late in the
fall that decided Seeing there was
yet quite quantity of provisions) to
pass the winter and retreat in the
spring. AT that season of the year the
Indians would be scattered about the
interior, hunting, and there would be
less danger of our being molested.
Whereas, then, on my arrival, they
were congregated about the post, and
would have. no doubt resented our
leaving, even with our own property.

which left nothing to be desired.

had the usual feast, and, no doubt, felt,
as white man does, in better humor

"Hazelton was abandoned in the

A great deal is said nowadays about
..the shrinkage of farm values, usas If
they were the only values that have de-
clined within the past few years. The
truth. is that all values have declined,
and none, perhaps, to greater extent
than railroad securities. An exchange
notes that "a few years ago Atchison
stock was quoted at s110 per share and
the other day sales of that same stocks
were made at $3.50 for shares of the
face value of S100. Union Pacific
stock, which sold as high as S120, has
been selling Of late at SO. More than
nine-tenths of the wealth which those
were at one time supposed to represent
has been annihilated." 1t is a well
known fact that large proportion of
the railroads of this country are in the
hands of receivers. The foreign holders
of American railway securities are
much dissatisfied with their invest
ments, and have unloadcd great
many of them within the past few
years. The values of manufactures
have also shrunk with the shrinking
demand for manufactured goods, and
this in return reacted disastrously on
labor. The shrinking process began to
assume an acute phase about the time
Cleveland was elected, and is still
going on.-Los Angeles Times.

THE MODERN CORN BINDER.

| Its Use and the Manner of Operating II
as Described by American Agriculturist.
The great American money crop is
corn. A loss or partial failure Of sim
| gle crop amounts to calamity. Ma
chinery for preparing the ground, plant
ing the seed and cultivating the grow
ing plant has been improved upon, but
the one great drawback is the lack of a
practical implement for husking stand
ing corn. This has not yet appeared.
However, the same object is being par
TALLY accomplished in a somewhat
roundabout way by means of the corn
binder and the combined husker and
fodder shredder. All corn cannot be
husked by this plan, as it necessitates
cutting, shocking and running the cured
fodder through the husker, but improved
corn binders have made this practice
more common than would have been
possible few years ago. The greater
appreciation for corn fodder and its
wide use have created a demand for
better corn harvesting machinery.
Several firms have produced corn
binders which are on the market this
season. These operate ON practically the
same principle, differing in details of
construction. The machine is drawn by
two horses and cuts one row at time
The stalks are cut off near the ground,
Or about Is inches above it, and carried,
standing on end, in an upright position,
to modified form of the ordinary har-
vester binder and bound in bundles,
common binding twine being used. The
bundles are then discharged to one side,
leaving room for the machine to pass in
cutting the next row. 1t can be adjusted
to short or tall corn and tilted up or
down in order to pick up fallen or lean
ing stalks. The bundles are shocked
much as are wheat sheaves.
Sorghum, Kafir corn, Milo maize
and similar forage plants have been
successfully harvested with the corn
binder. If ordinary shock corn is de-
sired, begin cutting when the blades
have begun to turn, which in central
latitudes during an ordinary season is
about Sept. to 10. Place the bundles
in good sized shocks, taking care not to
make them too large if the weather is
damp and cloudy. When they have,
cured sufficiently, haul to the barnyard
and run the fodder through a husker
and shredder. The ears will come out
nicely cleaned, the leaves and stalks
torn and broken and in excellent condi-
tion for stock feed.
This material was used extensively
last season because of a poor hay crop
and scarcity of grain and was highly
praised. If the crop is wanted chiefly
for the fodder, cut the corn greener, put
up in smaller shocks and when cured
run through the shredder. The shredded
fodder had better be stored in the hay.
NOW or hay shed. 1t can be stacked
out of doors, but the stack must be we'll
topped out with slough grass or some
material which will shed the rain. The
is also widely used for cutting
ensilage corn.
