Setting out Cabbage plants.

Simple as the act seems of setting out
cabbage plants, there is an art In this
as In nearly every farm operation, that
needs to be understood to make 1t sue
cessful. More cabbage plants are killed
by taking too much pains with them
and not properly understanding the
conditions. Deluglng the newly planted
cabbage with water simply packs the
earth around the stem, which hardens
as 1t dries and makes ingress of air i'm.
possible. The ground for cabbage OF
any other vegetable should be moist
but never wet Clip the top pretty
freely. In fact, most of the old leaves
may be removed. as the cabbage grows
from Its center and will soon replace
them. Then puddle roots by dipping
them In warm water, aud quickly piae
ing them in soil dry enough to adhere
to them. Then plant as quickly as pos
slble Id soil that has been freshly stir
red and very few Will fail to grow.

Feeding Hogs.

A hog fed at fair profit until it reach
rs 200 pounds Will give less profit with
each additional pound. and point can
be reached at which further feeding
can be conducted only AT loss. One
writer says that a certain amount of
food being required TO make a gain on
hog of 80 pounds, It will require 4
per cent. more food with Il hog of 20
pounds to make the same gain. IA per
cent. more with one of 125 pounds. -
per cent. more on hogs Of 225 pounds
and 10 per cent. more on those weigh
ing 32j. The journal does not know
upon what tests these figures are
based. but II is well-known fact that
with increase of age more feed Is re-
quired to effect gain than at earlier
age. But the light-weights, those un-
der 200 pounds, cannot be so well han
died at packerles. and hence those who
are feeding for market should bring
them to that weight. smooth and well
finished. AT less weight or in bad con
dition II VIII be found that the dis
elimination against them Is strong so
that it will always be the best econ
omy TO bring them TO the most rigid re-
quirements of the market.-Texas

Hauling the beets TO the factory is
let by the contract at 30 to 40 cents a
ton, according to the distance.
There is no good sugar In the beet
top. but both beet and leaves are good
stock feed, and particularly for sheep.
AT the factory the beets are washed
and inspected, and those not topped
right are topped again. and the proper
Tomato reduction made. This averages
! to 10 per cent. the work costing the
farmer nothing.
The land Is cleaner and In better con
dition for beets the second year, but
never raise beets on the same land
longer than two years in succession.
They do not exhaust the fertility for
other crops, but the per cent. of sugar
will not be so great.
Sugar beets are harvested by loosen
ing the ground around them with a dig
ger, leaving the beets in the ground 50
they can be picked up by hand quickly
and thrown into piles. The old Euro
pean way OF cutting the tops OF by
hand is the best. In Nebraska corn
knives with half the blade cut Off are
used. Cut the beet top Off just below
the bottom leaves with one stroke, hold
ing the beet In the left hand. The ex-
ira dirt is shaken of while topping,
which Is done very fast, and at a cost
of 81 per acre.

while superseded logs as being more

clay suitable for making brick, houses
Of stone or brick are snperseding those
Of wood. In one respect nearly all
farmers are agreed. A good basement

makes a much warmer and cheaper

the frame building above the base
