GET EARLY CABBAGE PLANTS
They Can Be Grown Indoors or
Shipped In From Points in
Warm Climates.

Early cabbage plants for setting in
the garden can be procured in two
ways, suggests the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. They can
either be locally grown indoors by
some plant grower or they can be
shipped in from southern point
where the climatic conditions are such
that the plants can be grown in the
open ground. Plants grown out-ofs
doors are often advertised as frost
proof plants. While this term is
rather misleading, the plants are really
very hardy and will withstand consid-
cradle cold. The great difficulty with
cabbage grown in greenhouses, hotbeds
or in the home is that they are soft
and easily injured either by wind or
cold when set in the garden. This diff
ficulty, however, can be to consider
able degree overcome by properly
hardening the plant to outside con-
ditions before setting them in the gar
den.

the full depth of the spade, then break
ing up each spadeful as he goes, using
the edge of the spade or spading fork
for breaking the ciods.
No matter how much work is done
on. the surface poor job of spading
can never be remedied and, while
the surface may be loose and mellow
the underlying soil will be rough and
clOddy so that vegetables planted up
on it will not do well. A good plow-
man turns over the burrows evenly
and of uniform depth The same prin-
ciple holds in spading, and the spade
fuls should be Of uniform thickness
and depth and every ONE be turned
evenly.
The gardeners, Of England and
France are far ahead of our American
gardeners in the matter of soil prep
aration, and we could well learn a
lesson from them. In preparing their
land for planting they fork it over
very carefully and mix with the soil
considerable quantities of manure.
This mixing however, is so well done
that the manure disappears in the
soil and becomes an intimate part Of
it. There are no slipshod methods
in the work of these English and
French gardeners and they are en-
abled to grow more on an acre than
some American gardeners grow on five
acres. A little land we'll prepared,
the Department Of Agriculture be-
lieves, is better than large area
improperly fitted. Get the habit Of
doing things well, 1t pays in the long
run.

REPAIR DAMAGE
TO LARGE TREES
First Thing to Be Done Is to Re-
move Broken Branches That
Are Menace to Life.
GOOD WORKING SUGGESTIONS
n Limbs Have Been Split, Wood
Around Wound Should Be Cut or
Sawed Away and Scar Smoth-
ered--Leave Cavities open.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
The extensive injury and destruc-
ton Of trees of all kinds in New Eng
land during the November icestorm
has brought many inquiries to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture regarding the proper methods to
be followed in repairing the damage
done. The following suggestions are
made by the department.
Remove Broken Branches.
The first thing that should be done
Is to remove large broken branches
that are now, or may become, men
ace to life and property; this is usual
ly best done by cutting at the point
where broken. Attention should then
be given to injuries on the main trunk.
If limbs have been split, Or partially
split, from the main trunk, all splin-
tered wood about the wound should be
removed with sharp gouge and NAL
let, if not SO situated that it can be
sawed off.
Attention should next be given to
repairing the injuries ON the Larger
branches in a similar manner, and
later to the smaller branches. Some
times when a limb is broken away, the
tree is so weakened at the point of
breakage that it may again break in
severe wind, and to obviate this the
top must be pruned back more or less
severely. In case of split crotches, the
advice in Farmers Bulletin 1T7S
should be followed regarding the gen.
eral treatment, including boiling
through and above the crack.
1t is fortunate that the icestormi
came when it did, rather than in
March or April, for y-producing
germs grow but slowly during cold
weather, consequently there is long
er period in which repair work can be
done before warm weather arrives. In
cases of estates where great amount
Of injury has occurred, and only a.
comparatively small force is available
for repairing the damage, the final
cutting of long stubs can be convent
emily left until early spring, but
wounds or breaks on the main trunk,
or close to it, should be attended to
promptly, in any case before warm
weather arrives.
Leave Cavities Open.
1t is not necessary to fill cavities. It
is better in most cases to leave them
open. All final cuts should be immedi-
ately covered with some good antisep-

tic and waterproof paint. 1t will not
be necessary to specially treat the
ends Of long stubs that are to be re-
moved close to the trunk later in the
season.
In no part of repair work should
climbing spurs be used on a tree.
Spur marks cause injuries through
which it is possible for disease and
decay germs to enter and cause dam
age, in some cases more severe than
would have developed from the orig
inal simple break.
Remember that prevention is better
than cure. The open wound of today
becomes the decayed spot of next year
and the deep rotten cavity Of ten
years from now. 1t is better to spend
a few days or dollars in careful repair
work now than hundreds of dollars
for extensive tree surgery in 1880.

PLANT EARLY IRISH POTATOES
Put Them in Ground Just Before
Time for Last Spring Frost
to Get Good Start.

Early Irish potatoes may be planted
a little before or about the time the
last spring frosts occur. This will
give them an opportunity to make a
start and reach the surface of the
ground by warm weather. Irish pota-
toes require frequent cultivation and
should be gradually hilled up to form
a bed. Large quantities Of manure
should not be used. Great care
should be taken to avoid seed affected
by scab, as this disease develops rap

of Air Spaces.

Few gardeners realize the Importance
of pulverizing the soil as deeply as it
Is plowed. No matter how perfectly
the surface is prepared. if the soil is
coarse and lumpy below, the plants
will not thrive. Large air spaces in
the soil are detriment, but a large
number of very small air spaces in the
soil are benefit.

An hour later they entered the
mouth Of the Blue Poppy tunnel, once
more to start the engines and to re-
sume the pumping, meanwhile suug-
Cling back and forth with timbers from
the mountain side, as they began the
task Of rehabilitating the tunnel where
1t had caved in just beyond the shaft.
Hour after hour they toiled, until
cne gray mists hung low over the
mountain tops, until the shadows
heightened and twilight fell The en-
gfnes ceased their chugging, the cough
Ing swirl Of the dirty water as it came
from the drift, far below, stopped
Slowly two weary men logged down
the rutty road to the narrow, winding
highway which led through Kentucky
gulch and into town.
That night Fairchild did not lie
awake TO stare about him in the dark
ness. His eyes closed YEARLY, yet
with wholesome fatigue. Nor did
he wake until Harry was pounding
ON the door in the dawn of the morn
ing.
Once more the pumps; once more
the struggle against the heavy tim
bers; once more the "clunk" of the
ak as it bit deep into wood, or the
pounding of hammers as great spikes
were driven into place. The timber
ing Of the broken-down portion Of the
tunnel just behind the shaft had been
repaired. and Harry tipped the sweat
away from his broad forehead with an
action Of relief.
Not that it does any particular
good" he announced. "But it's room
we'll need when we start working
down below. and we might as well
ave 1t fixed up"
He ceased suddenly and ran to the
pumps. A peculiar gurgling sound had
come from the ends of the hose. and
the flow deprecated greatly; instead
of the steady gush of water, a Shiny
silt was coming out now, spraying and
splattering about on the sides of the
drainage ditch. Wildly Harry waved
a monstrous paw.
"Shut 'em off - he yelled to Fair
child in the dimness of the tunnel.

"It's sucking the muck out of the

"Then the pumping jobs overr'
"Yeh'' Harry rose. "You stay ere
and dismantle the pumps, SO we can
send 'em back. I'll go to town. We've
got to buy some stuff"
Then he started off down the trail,
while Fairchild went to his work. And
he sang as he dragged at the heavy
hose. Work was before him, work
which was progressing toward a goal

More the conversation with Mother

been comforting; it had given wom-
