r. ING EDWARD and Queen AleXan-

Marchioness OF Ormondc, at the
Castle Of Kilkenny, one OF the most his
toric in ireland.
The history Of Kilkenny Castle is to n
large extent the history of the province
of Lcinster. When William, Earl Mare
schal, married the daughter OF Strongbow,
and granddaughter Of King Dermot Mac
Morrough, he inherited the great Land
ship, or Palatinate, Of Leinster in her
right. Before his time the Anglo Norman
conquerors do not seem to have erected
other than palisaded strongholds. or this
class was the castle burned by O'Brien
IN Kilkenny in Strongbows lifetime and
1t was probably upon that same site that
the Earl Mareschal built, in the early part
OF the thirteenth century, the castle,
which in a great part still exists. Like the
castles In Carlow and Ferns, 1t follows
the highest plan of military fertilization
then in vogue.
1t consisted of four massive round tow
ers, each a citadel In itself; the walls II
feet or more in thickness. and connected
by lofty curtains of equally solid struc-
ture. The east side of this square over
hung the More river at n height Of about
100 feet. Upon the south side was the
gateway, passing through another tower
between two projecting bastions, with
drawbridge and portcullis and deeply-ex-
cavated moat. The great hall, no doubt
occupied another side of this square

Very Important To Horse Owners,
Drivers And .TeamsferA 80.

The strength required of an average
sized team of horses, and the strain on
the horses to draw a heavy load over
stones or out of deep rut, hole, or
over many other avoidable obstacles,
is often greater than to draw the same
load over a smooth surface fifty yards.
1t would be small estimate to say q
careless driver strains his team in that
manner twenty times day.
If driver prevents staining his
horses twenty times each day he will
save them 1000 yards of unnecessary
pulling, and In the 800 working days
Of the year 300,0O yards, and, in five
years 100000 yards,-yearly 1000
miles.
With proper judgment and care
fitness the driver, at the end of the
five years, will have, in place of a team
of weak, overworked, bony horses, q
team of healthy and strong ones.

Cahhage Culture.

A prominent truck farmer of South
Carolina coast gives the following di
rections for the cultivation of cabbage
for market:
Lands should be- plowed deep, har.
rowed and marked out in rows two
and half feet apart. A very neces
sary precaution is to thoroughly ditch
the land 80 that at no time water will
stand on it.
A liberal application of fertilizer is
necessary, say fifteen hundred pounds
to the acre. This fertilizer should con.
sist ofa high grade fertilizer, analyzing
per cent ammonia, per cent. phos-
phoric acid and per cent. potash. It
is applied in the marks laid off for the
rows and scooter or bulltongue plow
run through it, 80 as to thoroughly
mix 1t with the soil. Two furrOws are
then thrown together to make a me.
dium sized bed, which is then rolled
to firm the ground, and plants set oul
on the rows eighteen to twenty inches
apart. AS soon as the, plants are
started growing, the field Is narrowed
with an ironage harrow and dressing
of five hundred pounds of fertilizer tc
the acre is applied in every other row
followed with subsoil or some other
plow which will thoroughly break the
beds until you can see the cracks eX
tending acrossthe same. In about ter
days the other furrow is treated in ex-
actly the same way. After that the lapG
is kept open by constant work using 8
plow, harrow, cultivator or some like
tool that will not break the soil deeper
than Two inches. Cultivation should
occur:severy week or ten days until the
cabbage are headed, or the foliage
com pletely covers the ground. Under
ordinary condition crops worked il
this way yield an average of one hun
dred crates of cabbage per acre.
