Cabbage as stock Food.

The value of the cabbage as food for
stock may be summed up as strong in
two pointS-the large amount that can
be grown upon an acre of soil and its
succulency. which makes il milk pro-
ducing food easily digeSted. But II re-
Quircs strong soil and good cultivation,
does not keep well for winter use I'M
less pitted where ii will |he frozen until
spring and even then having but a
short season. while If stumps and any
decayed leaves are fed II Is almost Inn
possible To prevent it imparting rank,
unpleasant flavor to the milk and but
ter or even to the meat unless its use Is
discontinued two or three weeks before
the Strengthening. AS regards the nu-
tritive value. Professor Johnston in
horticultural Chemistry" estimated 40
pounds of cabbage To have about the
same value as / pounds Of oil cake, l.
pounds of pea straw, Ii pounds of
clover hay, 20 pounds Of meadow hay
10 pounds of oat straw or 40 pounds
of turnips. This last we think he
bases upon the flat or English turnip,
which are not as nutritious as the ruta-
haga. The value Of the cabbages as
of the roots. is best found when n
small amount is given along with
coarse. dry fodder and limited
amount Of grain.

Growing Grapes.

The best training for grapes is a
three or four wire trellis. The Mum

cause the most convenient. The worst
plan is to train the vines on n wire

others that require no training at all.
only pruning This latter is a popular
method with the slow growing yarie-
ties largely grown In Mexico. They
are pruned into bush form. Farmers
and novices generally have too little
nerve TO use the knife with sufficient
freedom. To prune grapes properly
the knife or shears must be used not
only intelligently. but remOrselessly.
Some varieties are such rampant grow
ers that the knife must be used almost
continually.

The Onion MnRRot.

When an onion field has become in
tested with the maggot. the best thing
10 do is to put in some other crops for
a few years But II such land has been
sOwn in onions this year there is a
natural desire to save the growing crop
If there is fair crop started. Attempts
have been made to do this by the use
of kerosene emulsion along the rows,
and, while a few think that they have
succeeded, the majority report 1t fail
ure. The only success we ever found
was in going over the field every day,
taking out all plants that had wilted,
showing that they were attacked by
the maggot, and sometimes the plants
each side, and destroying them by fire
or by giving the plants to hens, which
soon destroy them and all the maggots.

Growing ForeRf Trees.

Those who desire to grow forest trees
Of any kind for shade or ornamental
trees should remember that there is no
better time to gather the seed than
when 1t ripens upon the tree and no
better time for sowing 1t than that
when 1t would be self sown by falling
from the tree-that is, II the tree Is a
native Of the place where it is to be
grown. If from n warmer climate, 1t

CeuterpIeces and DoiIles.

The custom OF serving breakfast and
luncheon on a polished table with the
embroidered centerpleces and doilies
taking the place OF the usual cloth Is
more in vogue today than ever before.
Among the most highly appreciated
gifts to the housewife or bride contem-
plating housekeeping nothing rivals the
embroidered sets consisting Of center
pieces and dolles OF various shapes and
sizes that are exchanged by Intimate
friends. For this purpose the favorite
blossom OF the recipient is usually Sc
lected as the motif for all Of the prin-
cipal pieces.
For dinner the edict has gone forth
that white embroidery alone should be
used, but there are many housewives
who refuse to give up the exquisite col
ored embroidery that has been a fea-
ture Of table decoration for so many
years.-Grace j. Pomeroy In American
