Fertilizers for Cabbage.
Winter Haven.

Nitrogen fertilizers are the best fer
tilizers to promote rapid growth in cab
bage plants. as In the cabbage leaf
growth is very abundant. Such appli-
cations, therefore, as nitrate of soda, sui
phate of ammonia and flesh meal are ex-
cellent. But good results may be looked
for from applying superphosphate, and
indeed any OF the unadulteraoed prepa-
rations that may be obtained from
slaughter houses. The purely nitroge-
nous fertilizers should always be applied
on the surface and after the plants are
above the ground; otherwise the soluble
parts may pass down through the soil
before the roots of the plants can take
them up. The superphospate may be
applied very conveniently by strewing 1T
over the surfaceof the ground just when
preparing it to receive the seed, accord
ing to The Market Garden.

are much pleased at President Plants
casting his lot with us. and glad to know
that he believes in railroads benefiting y
country, and we do hope prices will
hold good, so that the transportation

small returns our produce brings some
times.
Some of us that last season saw our
watermelons go to New York for 800 a

stock to consume the vines, they sho uld
be turned under. The proper time for
doing this will depend largely on the
character of the soil and the exigencies
of the farmer If a winter crop is to
follow, they should be turned under on
all sides early enough to ensure partial
decomposition by the time of seeding.
If spring crop is to follow, and the
soil is stiff and clayey, they should be
turned under in the fail and the land
thrown into high rows, permitting sur
face drainage, so as to receive the bene-
fetal physical effects which the winter
under such conditions will produce. If
the land be porous and sandy, but level,
it is probably best to leave them to de-
cay on the surface, since the loss there
by Shown by the Alabama Station to be
great is believed to be even less than
will occur by blowing them under in the
fall and subsequent winter teaching. If
the land is rolling, they should by all
means be turned under In the fall.
