The Cabbage Stubs.

AS soon as the heads have been re-
moved from the cabbage stalks, the
latter should be carried from the
patch and thrown into the hog lot or
piled up where they can be burned
Many of the fungous diseases, such
as club root. result from leaving the
roots or stubs in the patch too long. If
1t is thought that the ground needs a
covering, throw little manure on the
surface. This can be removed in the
spring If it is not necessary to pillow
