A MAN WITH A HOE.
And How He Uses 1t ON Cabbage
The Philosophy of 1t,

And How He Uses 1t ON Cabbage.
The Philosophy of 1t.
The usual practice among farmers
and market gardeners is to give their
cabbage three hoeings and three cult
vatings, the cultivating always pre-
ceding the hoeings. Under good ma
nuring, with good seed and the land
in good condition and average season,
this insures a crop. But sometimes
the land is in overgrown condition.
The accumulation of plant food left
over by preceding crops is something
we did not know and therefore could
not figure on. This added to the usual
manuring has jumped the cabbage
ahead so fast that soon after their sec
ond hoeing they promise to mature
their heads earlier than we planned
for. In such case we stop right there
with our second hoeing.
The wisdom of this is apparent as
soon as we get to the philosophy of
hoeing cabbage. Why do we hoe cab
bage? The first and often the second
hoeing is mostly weed killing process,
but the third, as 1 understand it, is
really root pruning process, by which
we throw the plant into bud Tor head
just as we create bud Development in
a tree by trimming in its branches
above ground or its roots below
ground. If. on the contrary, our cab
bage land is lacking in condition, then
it needs extra hoeing and cultivating
in the early stage of the crop, both
to capture nitrogen from the air and to
help the roots in their search for food.
The presence of twitch grass makes
another good and sufficient reason for
an extra hoeing, for while that thrives
grass with the hoe or by the costly
work of digging it out, but hoe often
and cover the young shoots with three
inches of soil, and l will warrant from
experiences that it will end its life
with the season. Where cabbage gets

Training Lima Beans ON Strings.
The old time bean pole has been dis
carded by some vegetable gardeners
to be replaced by strings. Two stout
poles are placed at either end of the
row, with crosspiece from top to top
to support the vertical strings. The
vines seem to climb just as well and
grow more luxuriantly thus spread, re-
ceiving more light and circulation
