Something About What Is Called Plant
~ ssz Intelligence. sl ..s=t
AS the animal is nearer to us than
the vegetable, SO is animal intelli genee
nearer akin to our own than plant in
telligence. We hear Of plant physi-
ology, but not yet Of plant psychology.
When a. plant growing in a darkened
room leans toward the light the lean
Ing, we are taught, is a purely me-
chanical process. The effect of the
light upon the cells Of the plant brings
It about in a purely mechanical way,
but when, an animal is drawn to the
light the process is a much more COM
plex one and implies nervous system.
1t is thought by some that the roots of
a water loving plant divine the water
from afar and run toward it. The
truth is the plant Or tree sends its roots
in all directions, but those on the side
of water find the ground moister in
that direction and their growth is ac-
tolerated, while the others are checked
by, the dryness Of the soil. An ash
tree stands on rocky slope where the
soil isl thin and poor twenty or twenty
five feet from my garden. After awhile
it sent so many roots down into the
garden and so robbed the garden vege-
tables Of the fertilizers that we cut the
roots off and dugea trench to keep the
tree from sending more Now, the gar
dener thought the tree OWNED the rich
pasturage down below there and reach
ed for it accordingly. The truth is,
suppose, that the roots on that side
found a little more and better soil and
so pushed on till they reached the gar
den, where they, were at once so well
fed that they multiplied and extended
themselves rapidly. The tree waxed
strong and every season sent more and
stronger roots into the garden.-John
Burroughs in Outing Magazine.

food and moro fattaning material to the an
imals, but the benefit to the soil arising from
the decay of the vines and roots is greater.
Wherever pigs, turkeys, ducks, geese or
hens are raised and fattened for the mar
ket, this crop should be grown for consump-
ton upon the land. There is no better fat
teniag agent. When the crop is fel at
home all the labour and cost of harvesting
and selling the crop is obviated, and the
farmer gets more per pound for the nuts
thus converted into meat, than he could get
for them after the most careful harvesting
and marketing Further, by this meaps
manure Of high fertilizing value is economi-
cally produced.
In regard to feeding value, ground nut
kernels have an average of 20 per cent pro-
tein, 40 per cent. fat, and Ii per cent. car
bohydrates in the dry material. Not only
is the kernel part high in feeding value, but
the vines also are very nutritious as II stock
food. 4 loamy soil of Il sandy nature, that
is light aud porous, produces the most re-
munerative crop. However, practically any
kind of soil that is open and friab!e AM
that can be kept so, provided there is lime
and mineral elements, will do for the plant.
The yield Of ground nuts per acre varies
from % bushels to 100, end occasi )ua,'y ~
high as $50 bushels. The highest yield re-
corded by the Arkansas station is 1886
bushels. This yield was secured from the
Spanish variety, and on highly fertile soil.
The yields secured at Fayetteville were OBJ
tanned in 1902, when the Virginia White
yielded 1886 bushels per acre, and Spanish
yielded 1899 bushels per acre, on soil of
only ordinary fertility, and without f~ertiliza-
ton other than the ploughing under of the
stubble from q heavy crop of cow peas.
This soil was a mixture Of calcareous and
siliceous formations, admirably suited to the
requirements of the ground nut plants.

CABBAGE GROWING IN ST. LUCIA.

For some years past cabbage growing has
been carried Oh, on an experimental scale,
at the Botanic Station, ST. lucia, and now
it is reported thai the cultivation of the
crop is being und artlken by several growers
in the island. This vegetable should GER
tainly find u ready market, and provided the
right varieties are tried, success would pro-
badly attend efforts made to extend cabbage
cultivation in other islands OF the West
Indies.
The report, for 1867, ON the Botanic
Station, st. Lucia, gives the following parti-
culars in reference to the cabbage expert
ments =
This year, the cabbage plot occupied
/ acre. The land received manure at the
rate of about 16 tons per acre. The plants
were put out ON December 81, and the cut
ting Of the crop lasted from the middle Of
February to late in April. The crop con-
sisted of about 1,2O0 hea Ia, averaging in
weight & fb. each. The varieties grown
were Succession" and Autumn King" aud
they have now been tested at the station
for six years in succession, and have always
given satisfactory results.
The land for cabbages should be heavily
MANFRED and forked early in November, and
about same time the seed should be sown in
boxes OF seed beds. When the seedlings have
formed three leaves they may be transplant
ed into other beds of rich soil, and by the
first week in December they should be
strong enough to be planted out in the field.
With favourable weather and good tilla .e,
the Succession" should be fit for cutting
in about twelve weeks from sowing, and the
autumn King" from two to three weeks
later.
The distribution Of seeds of these varieties
from the Botanic Station, practically at cost
price and the sale of produce from the Elk
pertinent Station; have lone much to make
this vegetable popular. Supplies of we'll
grown cabbages are now frequently to be
seen in the local market in season, whereas
a few years ago stnmps carrying a few loose

VALUE OF THE GROUND NUT.
Is published Emery
Wednesdays Saturday

The value of the ground nut, not only for
the remunerative fruit crop yielded, but also
on account of the special qualities of the
vines for the purpose of green manure, has
frequently been dwelt upon i'll the A9ricu-
turGl Neaos. This crop is very popular in
the United States (where it is known as the
peanut), and the area under cultivation APP
pears to be annually extending. From a
booklet The Peanut and its Culture issu-
ed by the American Nut Journal Company,
Petersburg, Virginia, the acco npanyiug
notes have been taker:-
The opinion has been entertained in some
quarters that the ground nut is an exhaust
ing crop. This is an error. It is only SO
when the method of cultivation adopted in
wolves taking the entire crop, plant and
fruit, off the land without putting anything
back to replace the elements of fertility
that have been ab5trAct4d. The crop does
not draw heavily Upon the fertility of the
soil. The plant is q nitro gen collector, and
having a strong tap-r0ot that penetrates
deeply into the subsoil, it collects much OF
its mineral food from the layer of earth
beneath the surface soil. 1t does not get
the bulk Of its food materially from the sur
face through a great mass Of liorous roots,
Us Is the case with cora.
Like clover, and other legumin pus plants
having bacteria nolule5 upon the roots, the
ground nut plant is a greedy collector of
Nitrogen from the at nosphere, either above 4.
or within the soil, and hence may be utilized,
likely clover, in restoring fertility to the soil.
The root of this plant, in shape and mode
OF growth, resembles the branching of an
oak, with u main root or stem hut penetrates
deeply. Hence the plant is a good drought
resistel. 1t does not send out lateral roots far
into the surface soil, like Indian corn, hence
fertilizers are best placed under the plant
in the row, rather than broadcast.
Ground nuts are of special value for
growth as green manure. Pound for pound,
rotted, the vines are fully equal in value
as a fertilizer to the best stable manure.
Wherever ground nuts are picked off in the
field, and the vines and debris are left to
decay, the corn or other crop grown upon
the spot in the following year will invariably
show great improvement.
T~hedomestic uses of the crop are very i'm
portant if properly utilized. AS q feed and
fattener of stock and poultry, ground nuts
are worth more, acre for acre, than the field
peas or corn. They not only yield more
