death from malignant edema in from
twelve to fifteen hours, and if this vi

CULTIVATION OF VACANT CITY
LOTS.

The problem of providing work for
the thousands of unemployed in the
great city of New York has long since
claimed the attention OF the philan-
thropist Of tho Great Metropolis" and
various have been the schemes resorted
10 for that purpose, but the latest and
most novel, however, Is the cultivation
Of vacant city lots by this class OF pee
pie, and the experiment seems TO have
been n SUCCESS so far as IL has been
tested y committee having the enter
prise In charge has just made its report
for the year 1895. The plan adopted by
the COMMITTEES Is that wherever vacant
lots are found either in the city or its
suburbs, application is made 10 the
owners fol' permission to cultivate the
Same and permission being granted
the committee places men from the un-
employed class at work on them, rats
ing produce and such other stuff as
may be suitable for the consumption of
the families of the workers. In this
way the committee has been enabled
to give work to quite number OF peo-
pie, the majority OF whom have cult
waited enough garden truck sufficient
for their winters supply.
In the beginning the committee avail
cd itself of land donated in Long
Island City. in which quarter 1t soon
found at It's command 1856 city lots.
AT first funds came in slowly for the
purchase of tools and the necessary i'm
plements needed in the cultivation of
the land, but the contributions Gradu-
ally increased as time went on. and
mittee found that applications for land
came in slowly. but as the enterprise
developed in somewhat of q success
they increased. The next donation of
lots amounted to something like forty
acres, but owing to the lack OF funds
the land Jumped was used as a co-opera
tive farm, and eighty-four families,
numbering 261 persons received allot-
ments thereon.
at this place the superintendent was
aided by two assistants, so that the
scheme was practically converted into
farm Observation-Disclosures, tools, and
fertilizers being furnished without
charge to those engaged in the work OF
cultivating the land. The work of tho
committee appears to have been prose

Az TO CABBAGE.

The Alexandria Gazette notes that
"cabbages are now brought from Den
mark and sold In the markets OF this
State" and IL thinks that IF Virginia
farmers would devote more or their
time TO the cultivation of vegetables
for which there is always q ready mar
ket, and less TO talk about free silver.
they would be more profltably engaged
and the town people of the State would
no; have to send across the sea for their
cabbages."
Horace Greeley is credited with hav-
ing said on one occasion that the ex-
tensivc cultivation CT rutabagas and
beans was the only hope OF the Ameri-
can people,
From the Gazette's statement the cul-
tivation of cab5ages should be another
of the productions that would be a
prominent factor in the DEVELOPMENT Of
civilization.
