Level Culture Best for Cabbages.

Cabbages grown on level landssin
Arkansas produce 40 per cent great
er yields than when grown on
ridges four inches high and 46 per
cent greater than when grown on
ridges eight inches high. Level
culture was decidedly the best. In
the same series of experiments
cabbage plants set deep SO that the
bud was just level with the surface
of the soil produce much larger
yields than if set the same
depth as the plants grew in
hotbed.

Grover After Trout.

Grover Cleveland, former
president of the United States, was
discovered one day while poac hing
on the land of Frank johnson, a
farmer of Tyringham, near
Winstead, Conn.,, and ordered from
the place. His trends say he strayed
there inadvertently, not knowing
the boundaries.
Mr.. Cleveland went to Tyring-
ham as the guest of Richard
Watson Glider, who has a residence
there, looking very much like a
countryman, was whipping the
streams on Johnson's land
regardless of numerous large signs
"No Trespassing."
When johnson saw Mr.. Cleve-
land on his grounds he crept along
a hedge until he came to the spot
where the large lone fisherman had
just landed big trout.
"Ha!" he shouted, as he burst
through a thicket and rushed up,
waving a stick. I've caught you
at last, have II"
"But, my dear sir" Mr..
Cleveland began.
Don't dear sir me-" shouted
johnson, white with anger. "You
just get off my property, and don't
you lose any time about it, either,
or I'll have you arrested"
Mr.. Cleveland made his way to
a fence and climbed upon it. For
a moment he saton the top rail,
when It COLLAPSED under his weight
1t was Mr.. Johnsons fence, and
the mishap made the farmer
madder than ever.
"You get away from here" he
roared. First you steal my trout
and then you destroy my fences" "
But the former president had
vanished.
Neighbors went to Mr.. 10 bnson
and told him who the trespasser
was. Instead Of being sorry, he
said:
"Grover Cleveland, eh? That's
the man who wouldn't appoint me
village postmaster when the whole
place Endorsed me. It beats all
how vindictive some men are, and
l never did thing to binl."

O1er-feeding of poultry at any

See here camden has just finished

now they bore right through the

that would pay for itself over and over
before maturity of his paper.
