GROWING CABBAGE.
% VIII Mature ON Any Good Cora
Land, But Should BE Literally
FertiIRxed with Manure.

The food value of cabbage is not
great, but it forms an important article
In the markets of the world, as it is
relished by all people in some of the
forms in which il is used. 1t is whole
some vegetable and as a basis for
various dishes is found on bills of fare
everywhere.
1t is curious fact that this, the most
easily grown vegetable plant, is less
used in the country that in the towns.
1t is probable that a large majority of
the farmers of this country do not pro-
duce as many cabbages as could be used
in their own families, and a great many
of them do not pretend to try to supply
themselves, preferring to buy what ia
consumed in the family.
Cabbage will mature on any good corn
land, but to make large heads it should
be literally fortified with fine manure,
which has been worked into the soil be-
fore planting, and it responds quickly to
top dressings after growth has begun.
Late cabbage may be transplanted at
any time before July and make full
crop. No particular care is necessary
in transplanting it, except to have the
soil fine and in good condition. Make
hole with pointed stick to set the plant
in and set it down to the first leaves,
pressing the soil firmly about the roots.
1t is useless to water it as it will grow
without, and even in the hottest weather
will soon recover and start into growth.
Cultivate as often as possible during the
hot weather and when the cool nights
come it will begin to make heads. When
the worms appear sprinkle little Per-
sian insect powder over the heads from
a powder gun or an ordinary pepper box
and they will not last long.
If extra heads are desired, cover the
soil with an inch of fine manure just be-
fore fall rains may be expected and the
teachings from this will push growth
and make the heads large and solid

REPAIRING OF ROADS.
How This Important Work zs Carried
On fn Scotland a=a Other
Foreign Countries.

In a recent address before the lion
IL. " hoard of trade, Hon. Robert
MacEinnon gave an account of what he
had observed abroad, and particularly
in Scotland, in connection with the care
and repair of roads. He said: Il rode
a great many miles over and around the
hills through this exceedingly interest
ing country. Scotland does not begin to
be as wealthy a country as the state Of
New York. but everywhere through this
romantic, billy country the roads were
a Joy to everyone who had the pleasant
experience of travelling over them and
knows how much they add to the ideal
ity and beauty of the country.
How do they get these results? you
inquire. In the first place, no farmer
is allowed to work on the road. He
spends his time to better advantage,
taking care of his farm. In the next
place, no dirt is put on the road, but dirt
is taken off the read. In the next place

GOLD IN JAPAN.
Foreign Trade and Home Industry
Suffering from Adoption of
Gold Standard.

While republicans are trying to make
the people of the United States believe
that the gold standard is a good thing,
Japan is learning a lesson of distress
through adopting the creed of gold.
Industrial conditions in the Flowery
kingdom have passed from bad TO
worse, and the year 1897 was marked
by the greatest depression in manu-
featuring circles. In his report on
Japan's industrial condition. A. II. Hay,
of the British legation at Toxic, says:
The cotton-spinning industry, on
which such great hopes were based,
has already suffered severely. At the
end of the year many of the mills were
financially in a precarious condition
and several small concerns in q state
of bankruptcy" In commenting on
this report, the London Financial News
remarks: These are the very mills
whose prosperity not many months ago
we were able to site as indicating how
comfortably a silver-using country
could compete with Lancashire. In
the early part of last year the japanese
spinners were doing uncommonly well.
and the belief that all the surplus yarn
would find a ready market in China
was being realized. The year exports of
yarn to China reached 40, SOC, 1929 pounds,
against only 15,256,116 pounds in 1896.
The future seemed roseate, but, in Mr..
Hays words, "tbe adoption of gold
standard in October, together with the
fall ia silver and the enhanced cost of
labor and fuel, doomed these expecta-
tons to disappointment" There we
have cause and effect set alongside in
way that should impress the Indian
government, if it can for a moment
emerge from its own narrow preoccu-
pations so far as TO look on currency
and exchange as factors influencing the
whole life and prosperity of country.

eign debt charge. Japan is paying

HOMEGROWN PLANTS.
How to Rid Them of Insects by Means
of Thorough Spraying with
Tobacco Smoke.

The amateur horticulturist would
have a comparatively easy art to pursue
were it not for the innumerable insect
pests which are sure to infect house
grown plants unless they are most care
fully tended. The remedies that have
been suggested for the avoidance of
these insect pests are numerous, but
none is so effective or convenient of APP
plication as the occasional fumigation
of the plants with tobacco smoke. An
ingenious continuance that makes this
remedy still more effective is shown in

The serenader stopped beneath the win
dow. He unslung his guitar and touched its
strings softly and lovingly. Then he looked
about the dark shadows of the garden and
along the line of fence that marked the
street end of the handsome premises.
Nothing was in sight.
Looking again at the window, the youth
ran his fingers swiftly across the strings,
and then, lifting up his head and opening bis
mouth until the moonlight glittered on his
teeth, he began in a shrill tenor:
ooh, don't you remember"
But he got no further.
The window above suddenly opened and
a large, heavily-framed engraving of the
battleship Maine was dropped from within
and fell squarely on the singers head.
"Oh, we remember all right" shouted a
hoarse voice from above.

tract at public letting. The inspector
advertises for bids on so many miles OF
road. The roads are called by names,
such as the Little Falls road, the Herki-
mer road or the lion road, and every
bidder of course knows, which read he
is bidding on. Every mile or so along
these roads there is little square place
made in the fields adjoining and open tc
the road about Is by 90 feet, and when
the crops are all taken in, and the
ground will allow it, the contractor goes
into the fields with single horse and
cart.
II do not remember in all Scotland OF
England of seeing n farm conveyance
drawn by more than one horse. One
horse there draws more than two horses
here, because of the condition of the
roads. The contractor picks up all the
cobble stones and loose stones in the
field and carries them to his square In
closure. When the spring comes they
take these stones and break them into
crush stone and make what they call
road metal. In the meantime, in the
spring of the year, they see that the gut
tiers at the side of the road are kept
open, that the water is properly drawn
off, that the weeds are kept cut down
md mud, if any collects on the road, is
scraped off When the rainy or wet
season comes in the fall of the year, then
the road metal is drawn in a one-horse
wagon and put carefully on the road in
places where it is needed and it is grad
ually worn into position by the travel on
the road, so that when the following
spring comes it is worn into position
and is as smooth as floor.
They are, however, improving on thi:
system, and they carefully save the dirt
which wears away from the stone upon
the road and put it in piles, and then in
the fall they put the broken stone on
and cover it with this loose dirt nd run
a roller over it and put it in place, which
very materially expedites the repairing
of the roads. All the stone that l saw
used upon the roads seemed to be lime
stone. something of the character used
in the village of Mohawk, and am con.
WINGED that it is much easier to keep a
smooth and perfect surface out of lime
stone than from the stone around Little
Falls. This stone, however, l think
wears somewhat longer than the lime
stone does. l think sometimes that a
little mixture of our hard gneiss rock
and the limestone would make a much
better road than by simply using our
rock alone.
I'VE have in this example of the care
OF foreign roads the very opposite prin
ciple from that adopted and in vogue in
the state of New York. Our system re-
suits in loss to the farmer in more than
a financial way. 1t is loss TO him So

have been bidding them up against the

will no longer do this. Then, what
ever puts gold up will put wheat down.
