DR.. Holmes Centennial.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, who was
born u hundred years ago, sometimes
called himself 1.-The last Of the Bruh-
MANS" He was fond Of referring to-
the illustrious group consisting Of
Emerson, Longfellow, Lowell. Haw-
thorne and others as 1.-THE Bruhmans
caste Of New England" a phrase he
himself invented. Holmes lived to see
all Of these poets aud prophets laid to
rest, a striking fulflIment of his own
lines:
And II I should live to be
The last leaf upon the tree.
1t is n more proof of the univer-
salty Of genius that, despite his mar
row environment, the author of "Thc
Autocrat' and "The Chambered Nau-
titus" was broad in his outlooks and
in his appeal. The human heart is
not bounded by geographical lines.
and he who finds It reaches all times
and chimes. The New England Of. q
generation ago was a .circumscribed
world, yet the voices that spoke from
it as a pulpit spoke not the language
Of New England, but of humanity.
Athens was but little more than a
large village compared to the cities Of
our day and vas shut in by water and
mountains, but the voices speaking out
of Athens have been heard for $500
years. On the surface Ralph Waldo
Emerson was a Yankee; In his soul he
was a modern Zoroaster and Hindoo
sage.
DR.. Holmes was a gleam Of literary
sunshine. His humor was of the DIFF
fusive and kindly sort that had no
| sting. His conversations are delights
full for their naturalness. They SPAR
kle, bubble and run on regardless, full
of quaint conceits and of Il wholesome
philosophy all the more effective in
that it's seriousness is concealed. His
poems, though generally humorous.
now and then strike a deeper note that
rings with some Of the eternal music.
In this he is like Tom Hood, who,
though renowned as a wit. could yet
write "The Haunted House, and the
Bridge of Signs"
Oliver Wendell Holmes, like all OF
the New England group, was white in
his private life and was loved for his
hlameless character. his warmth OF
heart and his optimism quite rs much
as for his genius. !

CULTURE OF CABBAGE.
Soil and Condition For Successful
Growth Of Plants.

Soil and Condition For Successful
Growth Of Plants.
To be able to grow cabbage success
fully in any season the soil should be
In such a condition that the water will
pass through it as freely as it would
through a piece Of pumice stone or
porous rock. AS q general rule. the
poorer the soil the drier and more
porous it is. Thus 1t is that on the
comparatively poor farms better late
cabbages are grown than in the mar
ket gardens that are very rich. A
sod field broken early in the spring and
well manfred has generally been found
to grow the best cabbage. This does
not apply to the early crops. These
do best on the soils that are rich and
full Of humus.
Low priced fertilizers sometimes give
us good results as the higher priced
goods; but. on the whole, it will pay
to be liberal with nitrogen. The two
experiments indicate. that 1t is profit

and southern Europe and has been

Think Youth.

Hf you want to keep young. think
youth. Don't admit to yourself for
one moment that you are growing old.
Don't get into the habit Of saying that
you can't do this or that because I
am not so young as I used to be-"
Keep your mind open. Be receptive
to new ideas. welcoming every fresh
experience us eagerly and enthusias-
as you used to do WREN you
were a boy or a girl.
Call up again the radiant dreams of
youth-the glowing. golden visions
that dazzled your Imagination in the
days when you were first setting out
on life's pilgrimage. Tell yourself con-
that the ideals, the fond hopes
and aspirations Of those early days
will still be realized. Never, give way
to pessimism. Always see the silver
and gold in every cloud.
Take life earnestly. but net too Sc
riously. When d~lfieuitiey arise face
them TRANQUILITY and eo1rageously,
with a strong confidence that you can
yercom them. Remember that con-
f1dence is n Of the great earnaarks,
tho distinguishing characteristics. of
youth and that the man whe loses
in himself speedily leaves
his youth far behind hinn and not emily
hastens but actually creates an an
happy, premature old age.

Eucalvptus Growing.

In view Of the attention now given
to reforestatIon and to vagrant tree
planting the experiment about 10 liz
made at the Brownsville forest service
station to test the possibilities of en-
calyptus growing IN southern Texas
is Of interest. A generation o. more
ago eucalyptus were frequently plan'-
eli In all climates Of this country un-
der the belief that this genus secretet&
and gave vi into til" atmosphere mt
dicinal properties which were the foe
of malaria. The tree Is a rapid grow
er. and its beneficial effects have also
bcen attributed to It's absorption OF
surface water from the soil. which
otherwise would produce malaria.
/ Eucalyptus wood is Of exceptional
hardness and is put to a variety OF
uses where strength and durability
are sought for. such as marine con-
struction of all kinds, street pavtngs
vehicles and agricultural implements.
The genus is native to Australia and
thrIves best in a subtropical climate
It has been successfully introduced
into southern Europe. South America
y and California. The possibilities OF
growing eucalyptus for ~windbreaks
will be covered by the experiments at
Brownsville. A favorable temporal
! ture is one that decreases gradually
| during autumn. Premature frost or
exceptionally cold spells may check
the new growth before It natures
| SkIllful cutting back will help. A spe--
cies Of eucalyptus has been known TO
grow to the height Of eighty feet In
twelve years In northern California.

ROOT DEVELOPMENT OF CABBAGE.

racea. Linn. The wild type Is still
growing on the chalk cliffs of the Eng
fish channel. On the cliffs Of south
eastern England is now found a plant
similar to the Georgia collards.
There are three distinct types Of cab
bage with reference to the shape of
the head-namely, round, oval and fat.
Some varieties are distinct in type,
while others partake Of two or more
shapes due to crossing in seed produc-
ton. There is much variation in the
shape, color. character and texture Of
the leaf, ranging from regular straight
edges, almost white. smooth and
tender, to Irregular, almost fringed
edges, dark purple color and coarse,
tough texture.
Generally speaking, all varieties are
hardy. but there is some variation in
hardness. Usually the purplish green
varieties with crinkled and fringed
leaves are harder than the whitish
green sorts with smooth regular
leaves. The cold resisting varieties
are also the most heat resisting.
For a very early crop the seed may
be sown in a well prepared seed bed
outside in September and the plants
be wintered ove in a cold frame or
by mulching with straw in a sheltered
place. These plants may be set out
very early in spring, long before spring
grown plants may be used. To make
extra good plants they will need to be
taken from the seed bed and be prick
ed out two inches apart in other beds.
By setting a succession Of plants the
crop may be constant from May or
June until Christmas. -
The plants of early varieties are set
out In spring as early as the weather
permits in rows three feet apart and
two feet apart in the rows. The fall
grown plants r often planted in the
field in November. Burrows are turn
ed where the rows are to be and the
plants are set low in the burrows, 20 as
to be protected. North and south fur
rows with plants set on the east side
are satisfactory, although east and
west burrows are sometimes preferred.
Later varieties require mor room.
Early plants must be set deepethat is,
81 the base of the leaves is below the
ground. IL freezing weather comes
the plants may be covered with earth
until danger from frost is over.
The illustration showing the roots Of
a cabbage is an interesting study.

Not Decent House Room.

1t seems appalling that when We
are encouraging newcomers to this
country at the rate of a million a year
and never draw the line on quantity
there should be thousands Of human!
beings struggling here, housed little
better than pigs. New York city,.
which receives the immigration tide
at its food. confesses to Infamous pre-
eminence in the density of population.
Chicago is a close and gaining second.
with philadelphia. "city Of homes"
next. and Cleveland and st. Louis in
the order named.
New York's record for one block is
400 to the acre. Chicago's average is
81 to the acre and its worst 200 to the
acre. Philadelphia has a roc record
that staggers belief. considering the:
reputation Of the Quaker City for
room to grow in. Recently a commit
tee found there In a single tenement
block five Don in which seven per-
sons, Of all ages and both sexes, slept
and cooked; six rooms having six &C.
cupants each, thirteen having five.
each and twenty-seven four each. No
doubt. the fault is due to greed and
not to scarcity Of house room. The
people crowd to save rent. Laws
against o~vercrowding may work hard
ship sometimes. but they make for,
sanitary and moral deceDcy. Big cities
catch the human driftwood because,
shelter is cheap. Tenement laws I'm
prove conditions in new buildings, but
overcrowding cannot be stopped with
out tearing down old rookeries that en-.

LUMBER CUT OF 1909.
Reduction Shown by Reports From
More Than 10000 Sawmilis.

More Than $4,000 SaWmitIs.
. Every farmer In the United States
must be interested in the lumber pro-
duced. During the year 1908 1921
81 wmilis in the United States manu-.
factured 81. $50 .36D.OUN feet OF lumber.
according to Il preliminary report is
sued by the bureau Of the census.
These mills also cut II, lOG,483,0 900
shingles and 2.9SG.GS4.OO0 lath. L.um-
Der manufacturing. like every other
industry, felt the effects Of the bust
ness depression which began in ,Oc-
tober. 1907. Consequently the produc-
ton In 1908 was below that for the
previous year. In 1907 the cut Of
28,S5O sawmills was 40,25G. 154. 900 feet,
the highest production ever recorded.
Notwithstanding, therefore. that in
1908 reports were received from 8 per
cent more mills than in 1907, the de-
crease in lumber cut reported by them
was slightly over II per cent.
Washington. as for several years,
still ranks first among the states in
lumber production, its cut in 1908 be-
ing 2,9l5,929,OOO feet-a decrease of
22.S per cent owe the cut In 1907.
Nearly all tie lumber manufactured
in Washington is Douglas fir. the mar
ket for which was seriously affected
by the panic. Louisiana ranks second,
with 722,421,O 900 feet, a decrease of
25O,OOO,OOO feet, or "a per cent, from
the cut in 1907. Louisiana is first in
the production Of both yellow pine
and cypress: Mississippi was the
third state in lumber production in
1908 with a total of 1,8G1.01G,O00 feet
"a decrease Of II per cent from the
cut in 1907.
Arkansas ranked fourth with 1885,
991 900 feet. a decrease of nearly II
per cent from the previous years out
put, and Wisconsin fifth with 1,G13,-
$4,000 feet against 2.OO3.279.000 feet
in 1907. In Texas, where the lumber
industry is confined almost exclusively
to yellow pine, the falling off was very
heavy. The total cut Of the state in
1908 was 1924. OOs,OO0 feet. a decrease
Of BIG per cent from the cut in 1907.
Eight other states manufactured
more than one billion feet each. of
lumber last year. In the order Of i'm
portance they were: Michigan, Oregon,
Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Virginia, AL
ALBANIA, North Carolina and West Vir-
ginia. California. Maine and other
states which reported more than one
billion feet each in 1907 went just be.
low that figure in 1908.
While there are many very largs
sawmills in the United States, tx
small mills far outnumber the large
ones. Many Of these small mills are
in the states which are not now OF
first rank in lumber production. The
statistics for New York were collected
by the forest, fish and game commits
sion of that state, which secured re
ports from 1901 mills. In Pennsyl
vania 1924 mills reported to the cen
sus, and in Virginia 1887 mills.
Yellow pine. Douglas fir. white pine
oak, hemlock and spruce, in the orde
named, were the woods cut into lum
Der in the largest quantity.

How Men Differ.


The difference In men is often aston
fishing. The corn growers near .Des
Moines, Ia, have been satisfied with
a crop bringing $12 an acre, and yet
the son of a stonemason recently came
among them and made as high al $500
an acre out Of tomatoes.
In the last seven years this young
man has made $4,000 worth Of i'm
provements on a little farm of only
thirty-two acres. He uses very little
manure, but a great deal Of water.
He makes $500 a year on lettuce
alone. Other men find farming a slow
business, while this young man makes
a fortune out Of It with all ease. The
difference is certainly strange.

Hardships Ava':--1 r~vrnrno,

Two Russian sailors, wishing to de-
sert from their ship lying in the Tyne,
England. took boat and rowed for the
open sea. They took with them food
and clothing and $500 in cash. The
flood tide set them inshore again and
they tried to land, but the sea was rum
ming too high. For many hours they
drifted helplessly about and finally
their tiny craft was pitched upon the
beach Of Manhaven, near South
Shields. Here they took refuge in a
cave, where they lived four days and
nights, until their food became ex-
hausted. Hunger drove them into the
open and eventually they were ar.
rested.
