AS a standard home garden vege-
table the cabbage is one of the best
and most useful. For years the
plant-breeders have been working
with 1t. and the Improvement they
have made in the last fifty years is
remarkable. Those who can recol-
lect the cabbage during that period
Will take pleasure in noting some OF
the finest of modern cabbage heads.
The original cabbage was some
what like the present day collard,
which is still grown in the southern
States for their leaves only, which
are picked off and used as green's
like spinach, or boiled with meat.
The collard does not head. The leaves
grow around a central stalk, from
which the lower leaves are picked
as they mature, and the top keeps
on growing and producing more
leaves further up along its length.
This keeps it growing all the season
new leaves. 1 saw some collards in
Florida last winter seven feet high
and still producing leaves.
Contrast this with the modern
tight-heading cabbage. There is no
reason why a cabbage should head
which does not apply to other leafy
vegetables. 1t is simply that man has
ulreCleu q natural DenI lTOIl SSH-
Grafton to generation, until the habit
of heading has become fixed, and it
has been improved by constant selec-
tion.
We divide the cabbage into two
general sections for garden pur-
poses. The early. which will be
grown from the plants which have
been started indoors early in the
spring, and which may be set out
. L.
which will be grown from seed in
the open seedbed, as advised in the
article of April 10 and which should
be ready to set out in the rows some
time in June for the winter crop. A
second division is into early and main
crop varieties, either of which may
be used for either section. However,
l advise the selection of but two
varieties for the home garden, owing
to lack of space, and better results
at the end of the season will reward
your efforts.
For the early crop of cabbage the
soil should be as rich and mellow as
you can make it, and should be of
the kind known as warm" which
means one which lies we'll up and
drains quickly after rains and gets
the full effect of the sun all day. We
increase the warmth of the soil for

up the soil into ridges a foot high
and of the same breadth. 1t also
should be light in texture or the
plants will not mature quickly.
Growing early cabbage is a rush
ing" business.
For late cabbage the soil should
be heavier and more retentive of
moisture and not so rich as for the
early, as the crop has longer to ma
ture, and if rushed is likely to burst
open, which spoils it's keeping quail
ties. An ordinary good garden loan
which was heavily manured last
season, should be good for late cab
bage, as the filth it will have re-
ceived will improve it's texture.
Where it is the intention to use
commercial fertilizer to improve the
soil for early cabbage, in case ma
nure is not very plentiful, give a
dressing along the ridges, to be
raked in, of one which analyses

came.
Mrs. Gore, who had not spoken for

Where was the bad spot in the
road?" she repeated.
II did not say there was a bad
spot, Brewster Norton corrected her.
Il merely said we made a detour. l

when well established. Wood ashes
or muriate of potash is good when
the manure is not rich in these in
gradients. Apply it as top dressing
around the plants.
The early cabbage plants should
be set twenty inches apart in the
rows and the rows two feet apart, as
the heads and root mass are not so
large as are the late ones, which
should be set two fet apart in the
rows and the rows two feet apart
If to be worked with the hoe; or,
if to be worked with the wheel-culti-
vator, make the rows three feet
apart.
When setting out the early cab
bage have the ridges made at least
the day. before and properly leveled.
Go over them with trowel or
pointed hoe and scoop out a hollow
at the right distance apart to set
the plants. This is better than ma
king holes with the dibble for plants
transplanted from boxes or flats and
also provides for those which have
been growing on in two-inch pots.
This method of planting will allow
the roots to remain in the same re-
lative position they had before being
moved. This saves time in matur-
ing. Plants pulled out of boxes and
set in holes, straight up and down,
and pressed tightly together, will re-
quire time to readjust themselves to
an altered environment and a dis
turbed root-mass. There will be no
trouble about continuous growth in
the case of those young cabbage
plants which have been growing on
in small pots, as they will not realize
they have been moved if the opera
ton is skillfully done, so as not to
disturb the mass of white fibrous
roots around the ball of soil in the
pots. Depot them by inverting the
pot, when the plant will come out
in the hand when struck against
some solid substance.
For early cabbage use your choice
of the following, the varieties being
given in the order of earliness:
All-Head Early-Said to be the
earliest cabbage in cultivation and
larger heads than most early ones.
Has fiat, deep, solid heads.
Extra Early Jersey Wakefield

Early Winningstadt-Th we'll

general favorite. Very early; an ex-
cellent keeper and of fine sweet tex
tpre of leaf; very popular.
Copenhagen Market-An early
round-head cabbage. One of the very
best of it's class. Stalks dwarf. Can
be set closer than most cabbages. An
excellent cabbage.
OF the late cabbage. of which
there are many. make your choice
of the following, al of which are
good:

and rarely cracks open.
Danish Ballhead-Another extra
fine late cabbage. Heads larger
than the preceding and very hard

size and solidity of it's heads. A good
cabbage for kraut or winter use.
Very sweet.

CHAPTER NLV.


Copyright. 1917, Star Company
Dinner began pleasantly on that
first evening at Hillcrest. and felt
more than ever before like member
OF the family.
Perhaps Mrs. Cores unsolicited con-
fidences were partially responsible for
that. Until now I fancied that she
was on the defensive with me. But
during her talk before dinner I had
been conscious that she was making
an appeal, none the less strong be-
cause not put into cold. plain words.
I did not quite understand what she
was asking OF me-eScept that al
low nobody to discuss with me the
circumstances or her sisters illness
and death. Yet I believed that back
of this request lurked something of
which she was afraid.
1 decided that this fear was the
result of her own nervousness and
delicate health. I have never been
in a house that had about it less of
an air OF mystery than Hillcrest had.
Indeed 1t seemed the very place In
which one could be merry and light
hearted.
So I Joined cheerfully in the table
talk that first night. Mr.. Norton, sell
dom taciturn, was more loquacious
than usual. He jested with Tom and
Grace and chatted with Mrs. Gore
about the flowers and the prospect
as outlined by the farmer-of vege-
tables for the summer.
John says we shall have all the
green peas we can possibly eat" he
remarked at last.
"Goodw Tom calculated. "I never
had enough green peas at one time in
all my life"
Mrs. Gore glanced at him reprov-
ingly. MY dear Tom" she protested.
that sounds greedy-don't you think
so?"
We'll. I never had enough green
peas, either" Grace piped up. 80 If
Toms greedy, I'm greedy too.
All except Mrs. Gore laughed, and
Tom looked at the child more kindly
than was his wont.
Bully for you. Gracew he approved.
Then you and I will form a league in
favor of the luscious green pea"
"Tom," the widow broke in again,
really you ought not to teach your
little sister to be gluttonous. She has
never been so before, and I do not
want her to become so now"
\ cloud crossed Toms face, but his
father spoke before the boy could an

that her unexpected championship of

Ordinarily he spoke to her seldom

until after the gray car had crossed
behind the caboose. But in the same
breath he guessed. and guessed right
ly, that they were too far around the
road approach.
Smith saw the young woman check
the speed for the abrupt turn at the
bottom of the hill, saw the car take
the turn in a skidding slide, heard
the renewed roar of the motor as the
throttle was opened for a run at the
embankment grade. Then the unex-

the June morning. A big gray auto
mobile, with the cut-out open, was
topping the side hill grade and Smith
recognized 1t at once. 1t was Colonel
Dexter Baldwin's roadster, and it
held a single ccupant-namely the
young woman who was driving it.
Turning to look up the track he saw
that the three loaded cars had been
set out, and the forward section of
the train was now backing to make
the coupling with the standing half.
He hoped that the trainmen had seen
the automobile, and that they would

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

THERE is no smarter blouse
than the one that is made
to slip over the head with
only a short opening and this
one allows a choice of three
lengths. 1t is worn with a per-
fectly straight skirt that can be
gathered or laid in fiat plaits
at the belt. As you see it here,
the skirt is made of one of the
pretty bordered silks and the
blouse is made of a plain silk
trimmed with the border, but
you could, of course, use an ap-
piled trimming instead of SOU
tache braid or some of the SIM
pie embroideries.
For the medium size the
blouse will require, 31S yards
of material SO inches wide, and
the skirt, 4 yards SO or 2s<
yards of bordered material.
The pattern of the blouse No.

pected dropped its bomb. There was
a jangling clash and the cars on the
main track weer set in motion. The
trainmen had failed to make their
coupling, and the rear half of the
train was surging down upon the
crossing.
Smiths shout, or the sight of the
oncoming train, one or the two, or
both, put the finishing touch on the
young woman's nerve. There was still

time in which to clear the train, but
at the critical instant the young
woman apparently changed her mind
and tried to stop the big car short
of the crossing. The effort was unsuc-
cessful. When the stop was made,
the front wheels of the roadster were
precisely in the middle of the main
track, and the motor was killed.
