CLOSE TO MOTHER NATURE.
Truck Patches Near New Orleans
Please an Editor.

During our trip to the Mississippi
we observed the country closely and
we had an opportunity to see every
class of farming. from the cotton
planter up to the sugar kings, writes
the editor of the Southern Cultivator.
All have their attractions for US, but
the truck gardener appears more close
to us than any other branch OF farm
ing, for the following reasons: AS we
came out of New Orleans and started
UP the fertile valley of the Father
of Waters" we soon came into the
truckers section. Here the French,
Italian and the German have their
three and four-acre farms. The rows
all laid out straight and regular; this
section in onions, this in cabbage, this
In turnips, this in spinach or kale-
all green and showing that manure
and tilth had both combined to pro-
mote the most vigorous growth. AS
we looked out upon these men work
ing their vegetables with skill and
care, stirring the soil, transplanting
the plants or watering them, We
thought to ourselves, happy men"
and a blessed occupation. The farm
er knows his place more or less inti-
mately, the planter has general con-
trucker knows every inch of his soil.
1t is permitted him to put his ear
down close to Mother Earth and hear
her heart beat, and feel her very
throb as she sends the essence of life
into the sprouting seers and tender
plants. He becomes acquainted with
each particle of his soil, as he fre-
quently stirs 1t into quickened force
he knows each plant as he guides
1t into rapid growth. He nurses,
trains and develops each tiny plant,
and feels that he has taken his place
where God placed Adam, in the Gar
den surrounded by the pure, the use
full and the beautiful Straight are
the rows he runs, regular the spacing
of plants, deep and fine he pulverizes
the soil, fertile he makes his spot, and
careful the culture he hestows upon
his crops. Diligent in his work, and
hence bountiful his yield; accurate in
his methods and careful as to their
timely execution. The truckers are
thrifty as a class and deservedly so.
They are the "multum in parvo" OF
the agricultural class.

WHAT AlLs HIS cows.
Perhaps Your Cattle are Afflicted the
Same.

A farmer at Warren, Ark, writes the
Souther Cultivator:
II want you to tell me what to do for
my cows They first started with run
ing off of the bowels, and then they
swelled under the throat. They have
been sick about month. Last year it
was only the yearlings that had this
disease, and this year the grown cows
have it, too. The yearling calves die
with it. They get down so weak they
can not eat. -
The Editor Gives This Advice.
1--WE will give you a remedy given
us by very successful farmer over in
Clarke county, Georgia He says take
equal parts of turpentine, lard and
kerosene and mix together. Rub the
COWS we'll under their jaws and down
their throat. Then he takes small
handful of salt and puts well down
their throat so they will have to swal-
dow it.. He says this has cured his
when similarly affected. The throat
swelling attends several diseases and
we would have to be guided by other
symptoms to know exactly the trouble.
The Observation-Disclosures" has been
very common this year. Also laryn-
gifts and 'fluke" and each one of these
will be attended with swelling Of the

LYNCHING PROBABLE.
Negro Murderers Being Hunted Down
in the Territory.

IN the Torr1Gory.
Chickasha, /. 1.-TWO negro men
murdered white man and his wife in
their tent in their grading camp, fifteen
miles north of here, this afternoon.
They were discovered by neighbors at
tempting to kill the couples babe and
fed.
The people of this city are up in arms
and have secured special train on the
Rock Island road to take posse to the
scene of the crime, which is near the
scene of the lynching last July. There
is no doubt that the negro murder
ers will be lynched if captured. A num-
Der of people hereabouts witnessed the
burning of a negro at Paris, Tex,
about ten years ago. The business sec
tion of this city at 10 o'clock tonight

In feeding linseed, cottonseed meal

FARMER AND PLANTER
EARLY CABBAGE.
Adapted to Virginia, the caroIlnas,
Georgia and Tennessee.

II you have 1t, select a piece of
mediumly low, well drained land. Do
not put on any fertilizer in the fall
or early winter. Plow this land as
thoroughly and as deep as you can,
so long as you do not turn UP the
sub-soil usually plow eight to ten
inches deep, pulverize thoroughly
with good clod breaker or harrow,
says VIM. c. Geraty, celebrated cab
bage grower of Young's Island, South
Carolina Be sure that all Jumps are
broken and the soil is fine and soft.
Lay off your rows, east and west, II
you can, thirty inches apart, using
bull-tongue plow for the purpose. Just
before you order your plants make up
your beds, by throwing two furrows to-
gether, with a single-horse turn plow.
Then firm the beds by rolling them
with light roller, such as You would
use in rolling hay land. In small gardens
use plank for firming them. Remem-
ber that no fertilizer is to be applied
until after the plants are set. When
your plants arrive take the plants from
the basket, dip the roots in water 70
moisten them. Then set your plants
on the south side of the bed, far
enough down the side 80 that the top
Of the bed Is above the top of the
plant This is done to keep the cold
north and northwest winds from twist
ing and breaking the plans while
small.
Why Plant In Cold Weather.
Your plants should be set 20 inches
apart in the row, and the entire stem
of the plant up to the first leaves
should be in the soil Pack the soil
good and tight about the roots The
soil should be SO firm that the leaf Of
the plant would pull off before plant
would pull out In a climate where
the thermometer does not go below IL
or 20 you can get best results by set
ting your plants in December and
January. Where the thermometer goes
below 18 1t is best to set them in
February The object of setting in
cold weather is this: the top of the
plant is dormant and will stand severe
cold without injury. The roots are in
land, where there is no fertilizer, and
they continue to grow and spread all
winter. About two weeks before your
regular spring weather opens up take
a turn -plow or half-shovel and throw a.
furrow away from the plants in each
alternate row. Run the furrow as
close to the plants as you can. Then
put In this furrow fertilizer analyzing
8 per cent ammonia, Z per cant phos-
phoric acid, per cent potash, at
the rate OF 900 pounds to the acre,
and then throw the furrow back
working dirt we'll up around the plants.
This working will have worked
and fertilized one side of each row.
About ten days after the first work
ing, work and fertilize the other alley
in exactly the same way. You will
then have worked both alleys and
have put on two thousand pounds OF
fertilizer to the acre. From this time
on keep both alleys well cultivated
and the soil as open as possible, us
ing diamond tooth harrow and cul-
tivator. The roots that have been
growing all winter will now take up
the fertilizer very rapidly and make
you crop of cabbage two or three
weeks earlier than you can make
them by growing your own plants.
