In these four states the average yield
of potatoes was 1lS bushels per acre and
the average quality was l00-that is a
perfect crop. All of these states were to-
bacco growing states, and their tobacco
area was reduced, while their acreage
planted to potatoes was increased. The
result was that the rich tobacco lands
gave enormous yields of potatoes of ex-
cellent quality. 1t would be better for
farmers who grow potatoes that more
land should again be used in growing

won't be many sheep left to care what

Culture of Oabbages

er and Fruit Grower, describes his
method of growing cabbages and
combating their insect enemies as
follows:
Cabbage can be grown with sue
cess on any good corn land, provided
such land is we'll MANFRED, and there
is no more loss in seasons of drouth
on such land than there is in seasons
of excessive moisture on the lower
lands. The smaller varieties of cab
bage will thrive well on either light
or strong soil, but the largest drum
heads do best on strong soil. If the
soil is light and sandy I would adj
wise that the Winningstadt variety be
planted, which, in my experience, is
unequaled for making hard heads
under almost any unfavorable cir
cumstances.
This is one of the crops which
needs heavy manuring, and will not
pay unless MANFRED. Stable manure
applied at the rate of forty or fifty
bushels of salt two or three months
before planting, is the best home
fertilizer that we can use; and if this
cannot be obtained dried ground fish
or bone dust, applied at the rate OF
a thousand pounds per acre broad
cast, or four or five hundred pounds
applied in drill when the seed is
planted. A liberal application OF
lime and ashes will be found neces-
sary. Great care should be taken
not to let the roots of the young
plants come in contact with the fish
guano. It is good idea to make two
applications of the guano; one at
first working by barring or throwing
the dirt away from the rows, and af-
ter manuring, throw the dirt back.
Make the second application about
the time they commence heading.
great many prefer to plant the
seed in seedbeds and transplant in
rows, but after trying both plans for
three or four years I prefer planting
the seed where I want them to grow.
The large varieties I plant four feet
apart in rows and three in the row;
the small, three feet, and two feet
apart in the row.
Cabbage cannot be worked too Of
ten, pillow at least four times and hoe
as often as you can. Using a good
rake I find better than the ordinary
hoe, and if the land is not too low
and hard I think that a sweep
eighteen or twenty inches wide is
much the best pillow to cultivate
with. 1t is the best pulverizer of the
soil [ have ever used. This is one
vegetable that can be worked to
great advantage while the dew is on
them. Two plants treated alike in
all other respects, one Of which is
hoed at sunrise, the other at mid
day, will show a great difference in
favor of the one worked at sunrise.
When headed, if they begin burst
ing, take a prong-hOe and break the
roots on one side. They will stand in
this condition some time. Ship in
barrels or crates holding a barrel. I

airy, February and March cabbage

INSECT ENEMIES OF THE CABBAGE
The cabbage is liable to be attack
ed by what is known as the cabbage
or turnip fly or beetle, which feeds
on the juice of the young plants. L
is so small that you can hardly see it
The delay of single day in protect
ing the young plants from it's raw
ages will sometimes be the destruc
ton of all the plants. I have nc
doubt but that seed dealers have
been abused from this very cause
Ashes or shell lime [ find, when
sprinkled on while the plants are
wet, from dew or rain, to be an al
most complete protection. The ashes
or lime should be applied as soon as
the plants can be seen, for then the
fly is most destructive. If this is
washed off by the rain sprinkle again
and keepit up for several days, when
the plant will become too tough fol-
this enemy.
A new enemy, which is much
dreaded by all the cabbage raisers
will begin to make it's appearance
about the time the flies quit their
destruction, and that is the cut
worm. This worm is known to all
cabbage growers, and needs no de-
scription. This enemy is hard TIC
battle with. If the field is small
these worms can be scratched from
around the plants early in the morn
ing. Dropping a little ashes of lime
around the stem of the plant is one
of the best remedies. An application
of salt, applied at the rate of ten OF
fifteen bushels per acre, severa
months beforehand, is said to be {
preventive, as the moths will not de
post their eggs in salty soil. l fine

edies are proposed, among which The
most applicable are busting the leaves
with quick-lime, sulphur, SCOT anC

the plants with water heated to 13(
degrees. Some hold that it is thu
condition of the plant that causes
the louise to attack it, and recon
mend frequent stirring of the soil

Oysters.

"When was boy" said the mid
die aged man, nobody ever used to
think of stewing oysters in milk, though
l believe that barbaric practice did be-
gin Just before the war, but now almost
everybody eats them that way, and they
cook them that way in restaurants. 1t
seems pity. The oyster is not the least
of the blessings vouchsafed to us. and
why anybody should want to disguise
it's samy and at the same time delicious
flavor with milk do not see.
ITO stew oysters in milk is even
worse than 70 dip them in batter before
broiling or frying them. when but a
thin coat of cracker dust is all that is
required, and even this is likely to be
dispensed with ON broiled oysters by one
who has eaten oysters broiled Just as
they come from the shell.
but it should not be understood
from this that batter can reasonably beal
no relation whatever to the oyster; fal
from it. There is. for instance. the oyster
fritter, certainly very pleasant subjec,
to dwell upon. But in this case the
blessing has been added to the common
place, not the commonplace to the bless
