IL Characteristic OF a good quality Of
characteristics are related to the size
CT the seed has been found by ex-
tensive and careful experiments car
ried on for several seasons. AS to the
results of these experiments, several
points are worthy of note in summar-
izing. Marked differences in favor of
large seed appear in the Seeding
stage, a point of little value in itself
were 1t not for the fact that an early
advantage influences later growth.
Large seeds start the plants off bet
ter; and great leaf surface area in
early life is Of permanent benefit.
Moreover, heavier plants, better heads,
and greater uniformity at edible ma
turity are usually secured. In every
instance and at almost every stage of
growth 1t could be seen that the plants
grown frym large seed were much
and manner of heading. Plants grown
from snail seed we're very variable
in size and quality-some very good,
few mediocre, and many very poor.
Some headed early, but most Of them
were tardy in forming the heart and
in firming the head
It seems reasonable to conclude
that large sized seeder is factor In
producing head lettuce of good quality
and earliness Of maturity. In the
writer's judgment the lack Of plant
uniformity commonly observed in
commercial lettuce culture is quite
apt to be due to the use of seed which
is variable in size and consequently.

FEEDING ROOTS TO CATTLE
English stockmen Feed Enormous
Quantities Of Turnips and Beets-
Best Methods Of Feeding.

Turnips and beets are grown and
fed In enormous quantities by English
stockmen aad farmers. They do not
have silage because of climatic condi
tions unfavorable to corn. American
farmers who use roots to some extent
can wisely profit by English experience
In feeding them.
An authority advises that they
should always be cut or pulped, and
never fed whole to cattle. When fed
whole there Is greater danger Of chok-
Ing, especially with the last piece, and
also greater loss or waste by tram
pling under foot
The best method Of feeding is to cut
or pulp the roots and mix them with
cut hay, straw or chaff. allowing the
pile to heat for few hours before
feeding. This has the merit of warm
Ing up the roots, which are generally
q cold feed. and OF making low-grade
roughage more palatable. Cattle fed
In this manner through the winter
come out in much better condition
than II given the same amount OF feed
uncut and not mixed.

REMEDY FOR RADIsH WORMS

Avery successful truck gardener re-
Gently confessed that he made more
money out of radishes than anything
else. When asked II he was not great
ly troubled with radish worms, he re-
vealed his secret.
After the ground has been fitted up,
he makes drill marks of the proper
depth for radish seeds, sprinkles
little SCOT the whole length OF them
and puts In the seeds and covers
them. The crispness and flavor of the
radishes seem to be greatly improved
by this treatment, while the worms
keep at respectful distance. The
SCOT has such great forcing quail
ties that, II the weather Is not too
dry nor too cold, the radishes are
ready for market In is days from plant
Ing. the root being large in proportion
to the top. He thus has the advantage
OF harvesting crop after crop from the
same ground in one season. He de-
clares that by using SCOT he can raise
good radishes on ordinary plastering
sand, provided 1t is well drained and
warm.
Wood SCOT is preferable to coal
SCOT, although the latter may be used
probably. He has even used little
coal ashes In lieu Of SCOT, but of course
they are not nearly as good.

SECURE BEST RESULTS
Lettuce Ranks High In CONNER
cial Horticulture.
Size Of Seed Has Not Been Given
Careful study Until Recently
Heading Up" Capabilities Are
Of Much Importance.
(By M. cuMMINcs.)


Lettuce is a standard vegetable
crop, largely grown in farm gardens
and ranking high in commercial horti-
culture as q forcing crop; hence its
inclusion In these seed sorting expert
ments. Although seed-bed crop, It
is often grown in places where space
is expensive, where intensive culture
prevails, and where crop uniformity
and even maturity are of prime i'm
portance. On this account growers
now carefully consider both seed and
varietal choice. In some dollhouse
districts only certain varieties are
deemed suitable for greenhouse cul-
ture; and a few progressive growers
select only the locally-grown seed now
recognized as strains of commercial
varieties. Although many methods Of
seed selection have been adopted, the
influence of seed size has not been
given careful study until more or less
recently. ~
Since lettuce is seldom sold by
weight, comparison of the value Of
iifferent-sized seeds on this basis is
Of little account. Uniformity OF ma
turing and relative "headingup"
capabilities are Of more Importance.

Water can be pumped from the well

prefer the Early Snowfall, as I
have found It to be the best variety
for early market ! sow the seed about
February 15 or 20 In a hotbed.
When the seeds begin to grow I
give the plants sufficient air to keep
them from rotting on. AS soon as the
plants are large enough to handle !
take them up and transplant them two
inches apart each way. and keep them
well watered. / expose the plants to
the open air before time to plant out
doors so as to harden them. I find
that few plants die when treated in
this manner.
Several hours before setting out I
give the plants thorough soaking in
the hotbed. When ready to set the
plants I mark OF the ground three
feet each way and set the plants
somewhat deeper than they grew in
the hotbed, and press the earth firmly
about them.
AS caulifower requires cool at

Is little chance of success unless 1t
