Cabbage is very profitable vegeta-
BILE to grow both for home use and
for marketing purposes. With proper
care in storing it is possible to have
it the grea'e part Of the year.
Market gardeners desiring an early
crop SOW the seed very early in cold
frames, hence have the plants ready
to set out at any time when the
weather aud the condition OF the
ground will permit. But to grow for
home use, early planting not being so
essential, the seed may be sown later
in open beds. Another way Of secar-
ing an early crop is TO select some Of
the earliest varieties. Nearly all OF
these produce much smaller heads
than the late varieties, yet for an
early supply, either for home use or
the market, they answer very well.
For this purpose the early Jersey.
Wakefield OF the early Winningstadt
are good varieties These yield fair
sized heads, and ave at most only
week or so later than the earlier
sorts. Have the soil rich and fine on
which to SOW the seed whether in cold
frames or open beds, and wherever
the plants should not be kept too
warm. This is likely to cause too
rapid growth, which makes tall aud
weakly plants. The ground on which
the crop. is to be grown should be
made rich by the application OF man

SO soon as the strawberry runners
have fairly rooted it is best to take
them up and set them in new beds
rather than wait until the plants have
attained large size. The smaller
plant has much less surface exposed
to evaporation, and it will become
well rooted more quickly than will
those set later in the season. If the
runners are cut as fast as they are
put forth from the transplanted plant
1t will make a large crown full of
buds for next years bearing. All the
buds for fruit in the strawberry are
provided for the year before it is to
bear, and no amount of spring eulti-
walton can increase them.

just after the wheat harvest the
young clover plants, which up to that
time have been protected by the wheat,
are apt to suffer from the sun unless
the stubble is left high. After the
clover plant hardens it should be
clipped, which will force out branch
ing growth near the ground, afford
ing, with the wheat stubhle, sharp
sickle or grass hook, and may be &c
complished at small expense. The
first clipping should be doue about a
month after the wheat is harvested.
and if the ground is weedy or the
drought prolonged second clipping
may be done early in September.
Close attention must be paid to weeds.

come into market the well-preserved
old potatoes are best, and are pre-

H RIGHT TO TAX.

The case OF the Territory of New
Mexico vs.. the Union Trust company
has been set for a hearing in the su
prems court Of the United States fol
the coming Ooto5er term. This is ar
action brought by he Territory to en-
force Its right to collect taxes on the
rig ht. of of the Atlantic g. Pacific
railroad company, now known as the
Santa Fe-Pacific, in Bernalillo and
Valencia counties. Exemption from
taxes is claimed under an act of con.
gress granting right-of-way 200 feet in
width to the road named. The Terri.
torial supreme court held that this ex-
emption included the roadbed, ties,
rails, buildings and other necessary
structures. A large amount OF money
is involved in the case in Bernalll!p
county alone, the sum sued for being
w SAC, 900. The opinion of the court
was rendered by Chief Justice Smith,
Judge Bantz dissenting. Many Of the
best lawyers in the Territory hold the
opinion to be not good law and hence
the appeal by the Territory. Should
the opinion of the Territorial supreme
court be reversed, 1t mean many
thousands OF dollsrs more revenue for
the counties named ard the Territorial
treasury.

There Is often a foul taste in the

The cure for this common and OBJ
stinate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has a time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy d.
gestion is the one necessary thing TO
do, aud when normal digestion is se-
cured the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed of Diastate,
Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux. Golden
Seal and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at all
drug stores under the name of Stuart's
