Fall Sown Cabbage for Early Spring
Use.


A very rich soil, plentiiully manured,
is essential for the production OF tender
succulent cabbage. The ground should
be plowed very deep. BY so doing the
lower portion is turned up to the action
OF the weather, and substance in the
soil previously inert, are thus subjected
to fresh decompOsing action, which
makes them available for the nOurish-
ment OF plants.
In order 10 have heads the first or
second week in May, the seed should be
sOwn the first week in August, on prop
eFly prepared beds, choosing situation
il possible where they will be- shaded
from the midday sun.
Never permit the soil 10 become over
dry at any time, carefully watering
every evening, giving a good soaking
but, avoid giving in such quantities. that
the water will run on the surface, as
this has the tendency 10 cause the sur
face Of the soil TO become eaked, thus
checking the growth OF the plants.
The following varieties are excellent
for fall sowing; Extra Early Express
Early Etampes and Earl Winning
stadt. These varieties may be sown at
the same time, each variety coming u
maturity in the ordar named. Ths
plants should be set ont the last oi sep

Officially THE CAPITAL Journal has
commenced series of Ground Ups" OF
the last Legislature, and has published
its "Round Up No. L." in which it
points out the errors made by the mem
bers OF that body in voting on many
measures. What the JOURNAL is ab e
to accomplish by these supposed
"Round Ups" the Eagle is unable to
see. 1t is extremely doubtful whether
he will ever be able to convince any of
the members OF the last session that he
is any more capable or better qualified
TO judge the right and wrong side OF any
question than even a single member OF
the legislature. lie certainly has his
opinion on the many questions that
come before the legislature, but he is
nothing more than human, and is just
as liable 10 he wrong in that opinion as
any member OF the legislature. The
editor OF the CAPITAL Journal was q
member of the session OF 1895, and il
his vote on all parallel questions could
be shown up in his "Round Ups" his
record OF right and wrong votes might
not show up any better than that of any
member of the last session. People
who live in glass houses should never
throw stones.

disease and battle, that were given out
by the 'anties" few months ago. The
facts are that the percentage of deaths
from disease. were greater in some ofthe
typhoid fever camps in Georgia and
Florida among regiments who never left
the United States, than among most of
the troops that went to the PHILIPPINES.
We have no doubt from the records
shown that the Island of Luzon is far
more healthy than Cuba, for their seems
to be no yellow fever in the former, and
while smallpox prevails in both,in both
cases it is not climate. but lack of the
use of known means of prevention prac-
ticed elsewhere. There is, however, a
distinct compliment to the North Dakota
regiment in this good health showing.
1t means good care on the part of the
officers, and also that the men were NOR
ally and physically able to care for them
selves, which-to those who have been
similarly situated-means great deal to
their credit. Morality and temperance
are great health preservers, in the Philli-
pines, as we'll as elsewhere.

COMMUNICATION.
Editors Of the P1oNEER ExpREss s

Editors of the PIONEER EXPRESS:
Through the kindness of Hon. ]. ].
Hill, who furnished transportation, a
large number of farmers from the terri
tory tributary to the Great Northern
were enabled TO visit the Agricultural
College and Experimental Farm at Far
go. With your permission l will tell
some Of the things we saw and learned.
AS to what is being done at these in
stitutions, the mass of people know very
little. l suppose great many hardly
know, of their existence. and SO knew
nothing of the value of the experiments
that were being made OH the farm, and
also in the College.
The prime idea of the College is to ele-
vate the boys who are to run the farms
