of those who were really commercial
undergraduates, they made failure
Of the venture. This is true in spite
of the fact that in many respects the
cabbage plant will endure more neg
garden plants. Ignorance of the i'm
portant points regarding the cabbage,
alone, is responsible for most of the
failures.
Many farms which now raise con-
siderable tobacco as side line may
profitably be changed over to cab
bages, to give the soil n variety, If the
owner will make up his mind to give
the humber plant the same care and
attention he paid to his tobacco. This
holds especially true in the vicinity of
large market centcrs.
Habits of Plant.
At the very outset, it is necessary to
know something about the habits of
the cabbage before planting any con-
siderable acreage. 1t is essentially n
gross feeder, requiring not only a
great abundance of the ordinary soil
fertility elements, but also great
amounts Of water always at hand.
One hundred tons of stable manure is
none too much for an acre of average
land. But this fertility must be even
ly distributed ever the land and the
water must not make the soil wet and
soggy; it must be well drained. Cab
bage will withstand great degrees of
cold, as low as 20 degrees above zero,
but it will not endure protracted ex-
posture to dry air and a hot sun.
Any kind of moderately heavy soil,
easily workable and rich In lime may
prove available for cabbage. But it
is always well to bear in mind that
local conditions will render any state
ment Of this sort only general, as in
some sections one kind of soil may not
be as good as another kind in a differ

fluence the other factors to greater
or lesser extent. Market gardeners
resort to all sorts of rotations and
practices in order to get the maximum
yields from a small tract of land, but

MILK SECRETION IS
PULLING PROBLEM
Good Reason for Believing That
1t Goes on All the While
Between Milking Periods.

(By PROF. o. c. CUNNINGHAM, Ohio
State University
There is good reason for believing
that milk secretion goes on all the
while between milking periods, but
that it is more intense during the proc
ess of milking and that the larger part
Of it takes place then. One of the
most evident proofs of this is the fact
that the capacity of the milk cistern,
and other cavities of the udder are not
great enough to contain the amount of
milk given when a COW Is In full flow
of milk. Fleischmann states that In
the case of an udder giving total vol
ume of 6,700 cubic centimeters of
milk, he found the capacity of the I'D
der cavities was about 1900 cubic
centimeters or about six pints, while
1000 cubic centimeters or IA pints
of milk might be produced at one milk
ing. This shows the secretion of a
volume OF milk greater than the total
volume of the udder itself and more
than twice as great as the volume of
the udder cavities. The relation be-
tween the volume or capacity of the
cavities of the udder will not bear the
same relation to the total volume of
the udder I'm different cases, because
some udders have larger proportion
of fleshy material. but in no case will
the capacity be as great as might be
supposed from the appearance Of the
udder when fully distended with milk.
Another conclusive proof that a
large part Of and probably more than
one-hulf of the milk Is secreted during
milking is found in the fact that
when COW is slaughtered just before
time for milking, the udder does not
contain the amount of milk that could
be secured had she been MIXED as
usual. In one experiment of this kind.

HIGH-GRADE BUTTER

Farmer With Small Herd Often,
times Is professionally
Is Large Factor.

One reason the farmer with a small
herd does not make more money from
butter Is that he does not take pains
to make a high-grade product. The
man who is obliged to take second
grade for his butter can In most cases
improve the quality by making q few
simple changes in the methods of pro-
duction.
Use nothing but new and clean yes
sells in which to keep the milk. Musty
grain or feed IL fed to cattle will faint
the milk. Do not attempt to churn the
cream before ii is ripe or wait until
IL becomes too sour. Wash and scald
all vessels after the milk or cream has
been emptied from them. Have two
sets of vessels so that one set can be
placed in the sun while the other one
Is being used. There Is nothing that
equals sunshine In the production of
good sweet butter.
At this season and all through the
summer and fall when butter is scarce
at the local store, and private homes
find out that n farmer is making
good grade Of butter there will be no
trouble for that farmer to market his
buffer. Keep tho cows producing, make
rood butter and secure customers for

His business for the evening included
a lodge meeting and, most important
of all, catching train for his home.

culture methods.
Preparing Land.
Thus, such rotation as oats, wheat
clover, corn and cabbage may be very
convenient, this rotation being capable
Of notifications to suit individual
needs and preferences. For the early
varieties of cabbage the land should be
plowed in fall or as early in spring as
possible; for the later varieties it is
time enough to pillow in June. The
land should be stirred deeply, during
and after blowing, every care being
taken to reduce it TO its finest possible
filth and to cover it with q splendid
dust mulch for the conservation Of
moisture. Not infrequently the best
cultivation is done before ever a plant
is SET
The first big mistake made by the
farmer is in the selection of plants for
transplanting. Often / have seen
them grow little spindly affairs in old
jars located near the window by
stove. and expect that these dollhouse
plants would develop into lusty cab
bages. That crop is foredoomed to
failure; it never has a chance. These
first seed beds must be located where
the light and air can get at them, and
perhaps even light frost. Then the
plants will be hardy and thrifty, full
of vigor TO grow into splendid heads.
Mistake in Transplantinu.
The second big mistake is made in
the transplanting itself; in fact, more
plants are ruined by this process than
| by any other means. Doubling back
| of the roots is what causes most of the
| the transplanting woe, the machine
| employed often proving incompetent
or the help careless. Cabbage growers
are practically unanimous on this
point: The roots must be interfered
with just as little as possible, and
must not be cut or pruned. Again,
the plants, after being removed from
the seed bed should not lie exposed to
sun very long before planting. A dark
cloudy day is best for this operation
A great many men believe that there
is no better time than after heavy
rain, when the soil is well soaked,
but this has serious disadvantages. 1t
is far better to plant Immediately be-
fore q heavy rain.
