The Spring Cabbage Crop.
Southern CultivatOr.

Southern CultivatOr.
With the exception of the Irish
potato, there IS not another vege-
table so universally grown, and
esteemed as the cabbage.
1t is found on the tables of all
claI g from the poorest to the
richest, and furnishes one of the
cheapest sources of nutriment
for the laborer, either fresh or in
kraut. In the more Northern
States it ls grown in immense
quantities, the grower being able
to get a fair profit if he receives
from six to ten dollars per ton.
There are a great many people
In the lower South who do not
think that cabbage will head for
them.
That it does not head as readily
az it does farther North is true,
for the collard is the result of
growing cabbage in an adverse
climate. In fact, if cabbage is
allowed to seed in south Georgia
or Florida, for some years the dis.
position to head will become less

And now a word about seed,

mean the price of C or fail

middle Georgia, for the spring
crop start seeds In open ground
by the first to middle of October,
for all medium, early varieties,
for the extra early varieties such
as Early Express, ETC., this is too
early as quite a large per cent
will go to seed in Spring. For
these, start under glass in mild
hotbed or greenhouse during De-
cember.
We have found that it pays to
transplant all Our cabbage plants

In the open IN October, as we'll as

costs sometimes, and beds, but is
more than gained in stocky, fully

as some days in earliness.

Fertilizers.
Suggestions as to Mixing
Compost and Guanos.
From Southern Cultivator.


As soon as Christmas holidays
are over the farmers minds Iii
begin to turn to the important
question of fertilizers for their
coming crops. Volumes have been
and can be written upon this sub
Sect. W. have had q varied ex.
perience both in the manufacture
and using of fertilizers, and we
propose to do our best in giving
the farmers a comprehensive and
yet thoroughly practical synopsis
of the subject, and in compiling
several of the simplest and very
best formulas for mixing compost
a. Suanos.
FIRST, AS TO COMPOST.
The compost does not receive
she attention at our farmers
hands which it merits. 1t is of
course much easier to buy some.
thing already manipulated for
you, but you pay the manufac.
turer well for doing what you
should do largely for yourself,
and then you allow to waste on
your farm much fertilizing mat
ter that should be used, and used
do the most valuable form in
which you can apply it. Our
State chemist, John M. McCand-
less, published in our issue of
June 1, an article on compost
that can not be excelled, and
ought to have been preserved by
every farmer, and we a not do
better than to reproduce part Of
at here. He said:
In the first place take 100
pounds of quick lime and Stake
it with $50 pounds of kainlt dis
solved in hot water. Be sure to
SO proportion the amount of
water used as to Stake the lime
to a powder, and not have a wet,
sticky mass. If you use too much
water you will have a sticky mass
and not a powder which can be
easily handled.
Your lime should be slaked by
a hot solution of KANT to a pow
der, which is just damp enough
co handle comfortably. You have
now an excellent and perfect
mixture of the lime with the sui
phate of potash and chloride Of
sodium of the kainit. This work
should be done at a point conven-
lent and close to where the com
post pile is to be made.
The materials you will need to
make a ton of compost according
TO my formula they are as fol-
WIS:
Formula No. 1: 100 pounds of
lex lime, $50 pounds of kainit,
~ounds IA per cent. acid
hate, 200 pounds of cotton.
cal, 1000 pounds of stable
e.
lula No. 2: 100 pounds of
me, $50 pounds of kainit,
pounds IA per cent. acid
phate, 400 pounds of green
'nseed, 1000 pounds of stable
dnure.
You will observe that both
these formulas add up 1000
pounds but as a matter of tact,
they will add up 1000 pounds or
more after the lime has been
slaked with the hot solution of
kainit, because the lime will alb.
sorb and hold a large amount of
water In a fixed condition.

A farmer giving his name as An

story is that he came to the city with
some money, and while in the saloon

game for the drinks. After a few
hands had been played he received
four aces and then the other two pro-
posed to do a little betting on the
side. He hesitated and concluded that
there was something rotten in Dem

tor, you'd have enough of it in your
system by now to be dead That
stuff is only water and tobacco tar
just like tar distilled from other SUBJ
stances. The rankest sort of tobacco
has only per cent of nicotine, and
some of the finer, milder grades as
little as two per cent. 1t is tobacco
tar which colors the meerschaum
pipe and stains the cigarette smokers
fingers.
"Of course, such tar contains nico-
tine, but not more than trace, and
all the tar distilled in one smoking of
pipe would do no more than cause
nausea If swallowed. There is prob
ably no such thing as nicotine pois-
oning.' Pure nicotine, by the way, is
