The ancients began their year with

with the new life OF nature in the
awakening spring. At this season all
processes throughout the natural world
start afresh.
The ancisnts also showed their
sagacity and appreciation OF the great
changes and active processes of spring
time, by realizing that this is also the
time for renewed life and energy in the
human system. They well knew that
the blood should be cleansed from
impurities and the nerves re-invigo-
rated at this season. Hence the estab-
lishment OF the custom of taking q
good spring medicine.
This most sensible and healthy GUS

summer without taking a spring med

Berss sales ut Chicago.

During the last week in January and
the first week in February horse re-
ceipts at Chicago were the largest in
about four months, February 4th's re-
ceipts were the largest for any day
since September, 1899. Receipts for
January aggregated 9,593 horses. and
9,113 shipments, against 11,074 arrivals
and 9,334 shipments last year, 10.432
arrivals and 9,15S shipments in 1899,
1875 arrivals and 9.159 shipments in
1898 and 9,206 horses reported and
$685. head shipped for January. 1897.
The most active inquiry was for farm
chunks which sold for $50 to S135 for
medium to good animals weighing
1900 to 1900 pounds. Many horses
that would weigh from 300 to loo
pounds were purchased for southern
markets. Foreign purchases also In
creased the latter part of January. the
bulk Of the trade being for bussers at
500 to $40. Draft horses Of good quail
ity brought 5000 to s225. Agents from
the lumber regions bought literally for
logging purposes and also took some
draft animals. Buyers Of cavalry
horses for the British army were like
wise in the market. At special sale
of drafters and roadsters, 525 horses
were disposed of, the bussers bringing
$12O to $3.50. At the regular auctions
drivers brought s265 and matched
teams as high as $3.50.

MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
ACRICULTURISTS.
Some Up-to-Dats Hints About Cultiva-
ton of the Soil aud Yields Thereof
tura
Something About Cabba gss.


Cabbages are biennials: that is. 1t
axes two years for cabbage plant
% bear seed. The principal part Of the
plant is the stem, so far as the devel-
opment of seed Is concerned. During
the first year of growth the cabbage
stores up in the stem material out Of
which to elaborate seed in the second
year. The cabbage has tap root, but
1t is very short and hardly enters the
subsoil. From this TAP root the branch
Ing fibers extend horizontally and alb
sorb the food and moisture needed by
the plant. These fibers are arranged
in two rows along the tap root, and 1t
is said that this arrangement is that
seen In all cruciferous plants (plants
having blossoms consisting OF four
petals arranged In the form of cross.
Cabbage are luxuriant feeders, and
hence require land that is rich. The
best manure that the farmyard can
produce is not too good for the cab
bage patch. The cabbage leaf Is the
principal thing that is developed.
Hence 1t is that the food is elaborated
in the leaf, and most Of it Is stored In
the leaf to increase its size. In many
other plants the food, after being elab-
GRATED by the leaf, Is sent back into
the stem of the plant to be distributed
to other parts of the plant. In the
cabbage the proportion Of leaf to stems
and roots Is very great. On healthy
cabbage 1t will be noticed that the
leaves are waxy, and this waxiness in
creases with the slowness of growth
and good health. 1t is generally
thought that wax on the cabbage leaf
is a sign of hardness and of slow and
steady growth.
Thu leaf being the principal thing In
the plant its growth requires a good
supply OF heterogeneous foods. Drouth
and moisture are both its servants,
provided that in the drouth time the
soil water or moisture is not exhaust
ed. Our farmers have found that clay
soil is the best for cabbages. This Is
probably largely due to the fact that
heavy soils contain larger supply OF
moisture than do light or sandy soils
and lose less water through drainage
and surface evaporation. The cabbage
having an immense leaf surface, evap-
crates a great deal of water in its de-
velopment. To produce a large leai
surface requires soil we'll supplied
with water.
