A. Bliss Triumph and Tennessee
Triumph are the same variety, sim
ply grown as a rule in different To-
cahties. Tennessee stock is usually
the fall grown or second crop and
few such are now grown or available.
The Red Triumph does well in your
section and further south at Florida
points. The Irish Cobbler would also
be profitable variety to grow. See
letter.
c. What is the best fertilizer for
cabbage and how much should be
used to the acre on fairly good land?
&C S. NJ, Marion, Ala.
A. Any good complete fertilizer
containing as much as 10 per cent OF
phosphoric acid, per cent of am
monia and 4 per cent of potash would
be ideal. II you can not obtain To-
cally as strong a fertilizer, you could
use lower grade and increase the
quantity. The necessary amount
would depend on the natural fertility
OF the soil. From 400 to 500 pounds
should be used to the acre.
@. I have 500 bushels of Porto
Rico potatoes for sale. Could / mar
ket these in Birmingham? 1 could
supply both seed and eating stock
NJ r H, Thorsby, Ala.
A. Yes, Birmingham could use this
small quantity, as she buys much
more than this quantity every day in
the year. She will use at least 1907
900 bushels of seed in both February
and March. See list of dealers
mailed you under separate cover.
@. Can you please tell me the
price of Irish cobbler potatoes in Biz
mingham for seed purposes ?-P. s.,
Pinson. Ala.
A. The Age Herald car not quote
prices, but we learn that the price is
around $3.50 per bag of 215 bushels.
Q. Will you please tell me through
The ASe-Herald how much grass seed
/ need for 10000 square yards and
the price of same?-W. b., Washing
ton, D. C.
A. For lawn effect one should
use as much as one pound to every
2Ox20 or 400 square feet. Where con-
ditions are not ideal for termination,
one should use as much as one pound
to every 20x15 feet. For permanent
pasture and under ordinary eondi-
lions about 80 pounds of a suitable
mixture is sufficient for an acre.
More information is needed as to
what is desired in the resulting crop.
Q. How many stringless green pod
beans do l need to plant one-half an
acre and how far apart should they
bel. w. b., Pel1 City. Ala
A. Beans are generally planted
three to three and-a half feet apart
or a sufficient distance to admit of
cultivation. The seed in drills are
generally dropped two to three
inches apart requiring about two
bushels to plant an acre. They are
afterward thinned to the desired dis
lance.

what is meant by decorative and
cactus dahlias? Mrs E. V.
A. Dahlias may be planted at
any time from now on. The different
types is matter of considerable diff
ference of opinion. The difference
forming too much argument for dis
cussion in this paper. See letter for
full instructions.
@. What mustard is it that looks
like cabbfse. 1t is broad leaf and
smooth, spreads like cabbage and
really looks like it. Do you call this
Chinese? L. T.. Gadsden, Ala.
A. There is mustard called
Chinese that fits the description and
we think is what is intended. II
certainly is worth cultivating.
O. IS the Towering plant called
begonia produced from the seed ror
does 1t come altogether from trans
planted plants? Mrs. r. S.
A. It is grown from either seed or
plants. all depending on variety. See
special Letter that tells the whole
story.
Q. L want to buy spraying mate
rial in solid form. something l can
simply add to water and that will be
ready to spray apple, peach. ounce,
pear, etc. Please advise me quick
f. l.. ", Talladega, Ala
A. The thing to buy now for dor
mant spraying is lime sulphur. This
can be had in, solid or powdered form
already mixed, and nothing to do ex-
cept add water and go ahead and
spray. 1t requires G to IL pounds to.
so gallons of water. depending on
what you wish to accomplish. The
price is Csc to 35c per pound, all de-
pending on quantity and size of
package.
Q. l want to plant 10 bushels of the
early Bliss Triumph potatoes. Do you
think this variety as good as any
other and is there a difference in
these from those sold as Tennessee
Triumph. II. NJ, FloraIa, Ala.

SCIENTIFIC sEEsAW

With the object of finding cure
for seasickness, an instrument has
been devised at the instances of a
French biological society for use in
the study of the effects of rhythmic
oscillations upon animals. The ap-
paratus, which is described and IL
Illustrated in the Popular Mechanics
Magazine. is composed of a board at
each end of which is fastened a cage.
A u horsepower motor oscillates this
board with movements corresponding
to the pitching and rolling of a YES
sci at sea. OF dogs subjected to the
test at least 80 per cent, showed all
the symptoms of seasickness. Ex-
perimental preventives are being
tested, and it is believed that Ill
timately a cure for seasickness Will
be discovered.

FLIRTING PROPER IN ARGENTINA

In the Argentine a curious latitude
is given in one respect which max es
courtship in that country unique. In
her autobiography, 'Indi scretions of
Lady Susan" Lady Susan Townley
wife of the British diplomat. de-
scribes how strangers of opposite
sex may become acquainted without
violating the social code. At the
opera or in big theatre or other
place of entertainment, she relates
the custom is for all the unmarried
girls to be placed in the front row of
the boxes their parents and male
friends sitting behind. This habit
which results in a very brilliant and
delightful display of youthful/charm,
has an object which becomes appar-
ent only when one notes the young
men in the house between the acts,
leaning against the exits, staring
these young women out of coun-
tenance, sometimes even using their
opera glasses.
The young women. fully aware of
the scrutiny they are being subjected
to, and nothing 10th, permit their
gaze also to wander over the floor
of the house, until the glance of one
of them is suddenly arrested" by a
young man more we'll favored or
pleasing to her than the rest. If the
girl then allows her eye to be
Caught" and the young man can
hold it, there is ipso facto established
between them what is known in the
Argentine as telegrafia sin hlos
(wireless biography. Once the
young man is satisfied that he has
established this, he makes it his
business to find out the number of
the box in which the fair one sits,
and having previously secured an
older friend to accompany him int the
probable event of his not knowing
the family, he is introduced to the
parents of the girl, who in turn pre-
sent him to her.
The two young people are then al
lowed to converse together alone. If.
at the end of the entertainment, they
wish to continue the acquaintance,
the young man asks her parents per-
mission to call and pay his respects.
and this being granted. he becomes
friend of the house and the ac-
quaintance often ends in natrimony.
