fo Our Farm and Garden Readers.
On the lists of the Wekkly News are
Its names of many intelligent farmers and
gardeners—men and women who enjoy
nature and find pleasure in their field or
garden or orchard; pleasure outside of that
derived from the expectation of money mak
ing. They have tneir eyes opened to the
investing developments and etianges that
nature is steadily presenting to the view of
the observer and find genuine pleasure in
the various phases of their recurring work.
In fact they see ar.a glean much that is en
tertaining and instructive. To those we
renew most cordially the invitation given
heretofore that they would write us their
expe leoces, that have proved to them most
instructive and suggestive.
Write us about any experiment that
have been made with fertilizers, and modes
of culture or varieties of plants aud times of
planting, what varieties of c ,bt age, toma
to, potatoes, grapes, peaches, pears, corn,
clover and grass, cotton, email grain, etc.,
that best suit your particular kind of soil.
Do this, and besides send in any questions
relative to subjects you are just beginning
to investigate, and lot us submit them to
discussion in the Weekly News Club. We
trust that all our readers this year will
more tiiau e'er regard their connection
with the agricultural department in the
light of a club membership, the object of
which is mutual instruction to its editor and
subscriber. A fair and thoughtful disous
sion of farm matters should be productive
of good.
Wo do not mean fanciful letters from
“fancy” farmers, but an exchange of prac
tical thoughts by common-sense farmers
who realize that the present condition of
agricultural affairs calls for sober aud seri
ous consideration. At the farmers’ board
of consultation there can lie no reserved
seats for egotism and dogmatism.
We trust all our farmers and gardeners
will make a good start off this year, and
mav the track along which they must
travel be well rolled aud well sprinkled aud
bring them joyously to the goal of realized
expectations.
Write us from time to time.
Cabbages Dying Cut.
I planted an experimental patch of cab
bages manuring with two tons, made up of
'1,400 pounds of cotton seed meal, 1,300
pounds acid phosphate and 400 pounds of
kaimt. The plants grew off nicely until
tbey began to head, when the leaves com
menced to dry ud, and continued to do go,
until the crop was ruined. One-third of
fertilizers was placed In first furrow, which
Pen g listed upon, the remaining two-thirds
wai strewn iu the bottom of the listing fur
rows and covered by breaking out the
middles. Can you give the cause of the
plants being affected as they were! Did I
apply one of the fertilizers in excess i If so,
which?
I’lease answer in Morning News and
oblige, H. T. Bailey, beminole, S. C.
You do not state what was the area of
your experimental patch, whether one acre
or three. The amount of fertilizer that
Tou name, applied to one acre, and in man
ner you state, would be concentrated suf
ficiently to cause injury after hot weather
hart set in. It may he that the cotton seed
meal did the damage. You tnay have ob
served that cotton seed meai. in hot
weather, soon become-: a mass of maggots.
And it is quite possible they may finally
infest the r ots of the cabbages. How
thickly was the fertilizer applied?

There are half a hundred named sorts of
ijusshes, but in garden culture forsummer
use it is necessary to name only one sort, and
that is tne “yellow crook-neck.” This va
riety is preferable to all others, but a great
many still adhere to the "early bush” or
"patty pan.” This is a good vunety, to be
hire, but the “crook-neck” is a little better,
we think. These summer or bush kinds
can be planted any time from Maroh to Au-
Rtist. Insects are so bad usually on late
plantings it is hardly worth making a
planting after May lin our section, how
ever.

Weather for the Past. Thre i Months.
No doubt many will juilip ho the conclu
sion that we are having a very severe win
ter, taking the weather up to Dec. 31 as the
data for comparison. This would be a very
erroneous conolution, however. Though
we nave had, for the first time sinoe 1889, a
slight fall of snow (on Dec. 26 aud 27), aud
a considerable freeze on the 29th, still
the winter is to be classified among the mild
ones, so far as the weather up to Doc. 31
may promote a decision. It is very rare
that we have pleasanter weather in the
fourth quarter than we have bad in 1892.
Let the record *p6ak for itself. In Octo
ber the mean temperature was 02.2*, with a
range from 33" to 82°, and a rainfall of
0.29 of an inch. November weather showed
a me in of 53", with a range from 24" to 80",
and rainfall of 2.80 inches, and Deoember
with a mean temperature of 47.1°, showed
a range from 19* to 74", and a rainfall of
2.G<5 inohes—a total of 5.75 inches for the
three months.
The mean temperature for the three
months was 64" and the total precipitation
was 5.75 inches. A pleasanter three months
is rarely recorded. W hat may lie in store
for us in January and February, however,
is yet to be chronicled. Our worst weather
occurs usually in January.

Orchard Notes.
“Whatever is worth doiugatall, is worth
doing well!”
It our market gardeners, truckers and
fruit growers appreciated the truth of this
proverb as they should, they would find
their efforts muoh better rewarded than
tbey usually are. Our southern people as a
rule ere not disposed to be painstaking
enough; and in their effort to do work
quioly, do it very poorly as a general thing,
what a European fruit grower or gardener
would take a day to do, in order to do
it properly, our gardeners want to do in
an hour or two. One has only to
observe the average southern gardener
setting out fruit trees, for instance, to see
how common is the practice to sacrifi e
good work for quick work. They dig a hole
in the bard soil and bundle in the roots of
the tree without any regard to spreading
the roots uniformly In every direction. 1 hey
drug in the soil to fill up around the tree,
without regard to the stones, dr rough clods
that come in ooutact with the delicate youug
roots. Thev fill in the bole any so tof a
way, pack the earth lightly with "their feet,
perhaps, and pass on to a repetition of the
work, with another tree served
in like manner. F equoutly the woldu
be orebardist leaves this import
ant work of setting out trees to
some ignorant laboibr who don’t under
stand the correct principles of transplant
ing young trees. Time and again we have
been shocked at the sight of su h important
work tieiug done in such a shifiless manner.
If there is any work that requires the doing
of it in the best way possible it is the setting
out of fruit trees. It is a work that is ex
pected to endui e and bring profit for ten,
fifteen or twenty years. It is a work that
ougnt not to be done hastily. Every pre
caution that it is possible to take should be
taken that the work should be done in the
best possible mauner.
Preparatory to setting the trees the land
should be laid off at proper distances and a
strip at least four feet wide where the trees
are to be set should be thoroughly and
deeply plowed: along these plowed strips
the holes should be dug at proper distances,
to receive the trees. These holes should be
deep enough and broad enough to allow of
the tree being set at the same depth or a little
deeper then it grew in the nursery, and to
allow of the roots i eing spread in every di
rection, Before eetting out all bruised or
broken roots should be cut off with a sharp
knife. The hole should be filled up with
loamy soil, pressing it firmly to the roots;
at least a double handful of bone dust and
ashes mixed should be mixed into this loamy
soil, about the tree, so that every new start
ing root will find some of it to feed upon.
The soil should be drawn around tbe tree
perfectly level, so that no water will collect
about the youug tree; finally tbe tree should
be firmly staked. 6. A. C.
Sowing Grass Seed.
One of the most important items in the
sowing of both grass and clover seed in the
spring is to get tbe seeding done early, says
the Western Rural. Just when it is the
best time is rather hard to determine, as
very muoh depends upon the season, as in
some seasons the seeding can be done muoh
earlier than others. Generally the latter
part of KaLmary and the early part of
March is a good time. In nearly ail cases
it is best to have tbe seed ready and then
when a favorable time occurs push tbe seed
ing as rapidly as possible. While some con
sider it best to sow on the snow, the only
advantage in doing it at that time is, that
it is somewhat easier to see how tbe work is
being done.
All things considered, tbe best time to
sow either grass or clover is when the soil
is wet and freezes up quickly, letting the
surface of the soil stand opeu, something
like a honeycomb. This will be best,
whether the seeding is done on fall sown
wheat or fallow land. When sown on fal
low land something depends on the charac
ter of the soil and method of preparation.
In a light loamy soil that In freezing and
thawing seems to open up, Often lifting
growing plants nearly Or quite
out of the ground, it will be
best to sow the seed without any
preparation, that is if tbe laud has been
in oats, wheat or rye, the stubble ami the
weeds and trass that may have grown up and
been killed down by frost will be a benefit
in protecting tbe plant! in the spring. It
is often the case that tbe most injury to
young wheat and grass plants is dune late
in wiuteror early iu the spring, w hen the
soil freezes up almost every night and thaws
out during the day, and iu this kind of soil
th ■ litte- aots as a mulch. In Other nils it

is more liable to occur on a light soil than in
a deeper, heavier soil. One item Is very
essential in sowing any kind of grass or
clover seel, whether for pasturage or
meadow, and that is to use sufficient seed
and to take pains to sow It evenly.
Cleaning the Poultry House,
With some the matter of cleaning out the
poultry house is not an important duty, says
Farm and Fireside. Once a week, twice
a month, or as often as it becomes foul is the
rule, but It is always easy to determine
when the work should be dore by observa
tion. Much depends on the manner of
cleaning, the absorbent used, and the num
ber of birds in the bouse. Then strain the
weather should be co suited. If the air is
cold and dry, there will sometime* be no
odor arising from the droppings, and the
birds will not then be very uncomfortable
when the droppings are allowed to re
main, but nothing more conduces to
dampness and disease than a floor covered
with filth. Unless some absorbent be used
the work of cleaning the poultry house will
be difficult. The object should be to pre
vent the droppings from adhering to the
floor, which should be of boards, and tight,
as a woolen floor is warm in winter, can
be swept with a brom, and is, therefore,
more easily cleaned. If 1t e roost is placed
on a wide b ard, which catches the’ drop
pings, the board should be always kept
covered with dry dirt, aaling a peck of
piaster to every two bushels of dirt, which
should be sifted aud in a fine condition.
The larger perilous of the droppings will
fall on the board, but the floor will also
oatch a portion. The proper way to clean
is to first sweep the floor with an old rough
broom, then scrape the floor with a hoe and
sweep again. Next scatter floe sand, earth
or fiuely sifted coal ashes over the floor, so
as to cov> r it completely, and after cleaning
off the board under the roost, rub kerosene
on the roost. If this is done twice a week,
only a few moments will be required for
cieaniug the poultry house, and if done
properly no odor will be distinguished
therein. But the work should be done
regularly and not semuoccasioually, so as
to permit oonfloing of hens in damp
weather.
The Trucker and Market Gardeners’
List of Vegetable Crops.
The twelve leading vegetables grown
for market and home use may be named as
follows:
Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage,
onions, beans (butter and snap), turnips,
tomatoes, betts, English pease, celery, green
corn and asparagus.
A secondary list of twelve may be named
as follows: Lettuce, cauliflower, spinach,
kale, squash, cucumber, salsify, parsnip,
carrot, egg-plant, okra, radish.
While there are a few other vegetables
grown to a greater or les< extent in one
section or another of our broad oountry,
the twenty-four named may be considered
as the • "at-rck in trade” of the trucking or
market gardeuiug interest of ttie United
States.
Some of these a o staple articles of food,
capable in themselves of sustaining life for
a protracted period, others are but amend
ments to solid fnod. Salad plauts, or what
are termed “relishes” vegetables, are always
in demand and extensively grown, but
utterly incapable by themselves of sustain- ,
ing life beyond a very snort period. Yet
these very vegetables claim an amount of
care aud attention that is net exceeded by
those valued us solid food. How iittle of
nutriment and power of sustaining tbe
pby-ical man is to lie found in lettuce or
celery, a iadisb, a cucumber or tomatoes
(or for that matter in okra, or egg-plant or
asparagus), and yettbink of the thousands
and thousands of acres devoted to tbe cult
ure of these orODS.
There are vegetarians who claim that
man needs nothing more than a vegetable
diet, and that his demands upon the animal
world are altogether unnecessary. We are a
strong believer in tbe value of vegetable
food, believing that it constitutes a very
wholesome and desirable diet in the summer
time especially, but we are notable to go so
far as to say that tbe maximum of physical
development can be seoured aud maintained
by vegetable food alone. We are aware
that a man after full development needs
very little if auy animal food to sustain life
where there is no great demand upon his
physical powers; but we question very
muoh if the hard worker could maintain
the necessary strength and vigor for ten
hours’ dally toil without the aid of animal
food.
However, we did not start out to discuss
the subject of vegetables as food, but sim
nly to enumerate tne several kinds princi
pally grown by our home aud market gar
deners aud truckei s, and inquire which of
these are most profitable to the several
kinds of growers.
It is understood that the term ‘ ‘trucking”
signifies something different from market
gardening, and tbe difference consists in
this: Tbe truckers raise vegetables to be
shipped to distant points, and not undertak
ing to supply any home market. This being
the case be grows only those kinds on a
large scale tuat are not very perishable,
that allow of being transported by rail
or water 500 to 2,000 miles, and that
remain in m- rchantablo condition at least
from one to several weeks. It is true nearly
every vegetable mentioned is grown to some
extent by one trucker or another, but there
is such risk attendant upon growing some
of them that their culture has been gener
ally given up and attention centered upon
those that are least peris able, and that are
more easily gathered and shipped, suoh as
potatoes, onious, cabbage, turnips, beets,
celery, spinach, eggplant.
Tomatoes, certainly one of tbe most per
ishable on tbe list, is very generally grown
by truokers. as well as market gardeners,
but it is a common experieuce for this crop
to prove a losing venture. It requires vigi
lance and promptness to make it a paying
business. It is only those who can deliver
finely grown vegetables in attractive condi
ti n in the northern markets that need ex
pect t > make a success of trucking in this
day of competition from so many sections.
The market gardener grows vegetables to
supply tbe local market, delivering a great
portion directly to consumers. Tne re
mainder he either sells to green grocers or
has them sold on commission for him.
Usually hs,is warranted in giving a greater
variety than the trucker. He oan deliver
the most perishable kinds in a few hours
after gath-ring them and some of the vege
tables of this character are the most profit
able of any he grows.
While the market gardener will find
profit m growing a considerable variety,
tne trucker who makes a specialty of only
four or five kiuds aud under.tanda tbeir
growing and shipping perfectly is more
likely to attain good reeults than when he
bas to j much variety. 8. A. C.
Care in Marketing Fruit.
Beaches should be thoroughly matured,
but not toft, wnen marketed, says the
American Garden. It is the beeetting sin
of most grower* to piok fruit too green
rather than too ripe. Before picking a
poach look at the bloesem end; if tbe green
tint there has begun to turn white it is time
to pluck it. borne varieties of peaches begin
to color up long before they are fit to pick,
and if shipped while thus immature and
hard, will shrivel and bo tasteless and hitter
instead of ripening on the wav. It is a good
plan for those who are not experienced in
the matter of gathering poaches to pick a
few of the earliest sound ones and set them
away in some 000 l place, where they may
remain for the length of timo
they would probably occupy on the
road if they bad been shipped. By
examination, the owner can then inform
himself approximately as to the condition
the peaches would have been found in hy
the consumer at the other end of the r utc,
and govern himself accordingly. A* a
general rule, any variety of fruit will be ten
days to two weeks tu ripening all the fruit
ou any given tree or vine, and henoa the
fruit-bearing plant or tree should be gone
over several times in pioking, for its crop
should not all be gathered at once, as znay
properly be done from a winter apple tree.
But with all the care that may ! e taken by
the grower, some of hi* employes will leave
at every picking, fruit that ought to have
been gathered; and at the next gathering
these will be too ripe, and must
be carefully sorted out. They
may be the niceat-lookiug steel
mens in the whole box, and it may tie a
good deal against tbe grain to thro w them
out; but if allowed to remain they are
likely to become over-ripe and soft, if net
actually rotten, aud they will make a
smeary place in the crate. After having
tested’ and seen my neighbors tost, a great
many devices for embellishment in packing
fruit, I have come to the conclusion that
no amount of sentimental display,
such as putting rose*, magnolia-leaves,
or Cape jasmines over the fruit, or edging
the crate with scalloped paper, will sell poor
fruit. Nor do I believe that it will really
help the sale of thoroughly good fruit
packed in new, clean boxes. But thorough
neatness and cleanliness, the packing
of a box with straight rows of
fruit accurately sized, every one the same
size as its neighbor, all laid in tbe same way
aud gently pressed down that it may not
shake about, and < specially a bright, new,
clean package—all of these are of first im
portance. After all these poiuts have been
observed, then if the grower is disposed to
lay on strips of ecallotd paper or drop iu
some roses, this is well enough; but when
tip-top returns come back from tbe mer
chant, set it down as certain that it was the
crate, the package and the fruit itself that
did the business, not tbe “ginger bread”
work.

PRACTICAL WOMAN’S RIGHT3. 4
A Lesson in Street Cap Etiquette
Taught by a Boston Girl.
From the Boeton Herald.
It was between 6 and 7 o’clock in the
evening and the Tremont street csr wa
crowded. A good many of the passengers
were workingmen, aud those who wore
fortunate enough to have a seat, even it it
was a very narrow one, seemed to lose
halt tbe pleasure of it in watchiug the door
open every time the car supped. It reached
Eliot street, however, without an iuvasion
of tbe fair sex. Then five or Six of them
got on board. The majority tf the new
comers were young aud pretty and of that
type wno seem to make a special study of
the best methods for u nking the male pat
rons of street car* feel uueasy, if‘they hap
pen to be sitting.
One of the arrivals, however, was a
motherly looking woman whoseevery featui
indicated that she had *'a will of her own.’
She might have been taken at first sight for
a prominent member of a woman's rights
society, but those who formed this opinio >
of her when she entered tbe car felt ashamed
of themselves a few minutes later.
Several of the young girls had selected
the seats they meant to have when they had
ogled their present occupants out of them,
and oue young man with a careworn look,
who knew be was a victim, but did not
want to give up the battle, decided to com
promise rather than acknowledge be defeat.
He got up and offered his seat to the mother
ly looking woman. .
Instead of quietly dropping into the
vacancy, as is usual in sucU coses, the woman
turned aud said:
“No, thank you, sir. lam as well able
to stand as you are: you had better keep
your seat." Then, warming up to thesuhj ct,
she continued: "i cannot understand this
nonsense of giving up everyibi: g to women,
as if they were poor, weak creatures, un
able to stand. Here is a car lull of men
who have been working hard all day and
wapt a rest ou their way home, but they
are supposed to give up their seats to a lot
of young girls who have nothing to do but
saunter through the stores all day long, and
have not foresight enough to go bum* before
the cars bocome crowded. I think it simply
ridioulous. It is a good while since I have
been on the streetcar at tnis time of the
day, aud I propose, so far as I am e tncerned,
to leave the scats to those who have the
best right to them.”
The young tnan looked confused, a num
ber of the ouler uieu shook their head* ap
provingly, others looked on in wonder, and
the girls, for whose henefltt the remarks
were apparently marie, seemed undecided
whether to giggle or pout. They east longing
glances at tbe vacant seat, but not one of
them had the oouruge to drop into it.
Tha oar stopped; a young woman got on
board. She looked at the deep red cushion,
the r at tbe girls who were hangiog on tbe
■traps, and scorned unable to understand it.
A smile weut around tbe car, and for sev
eral blocks there was a vacant seat in a
crowded electric.
The Boston Globe says that in a pair of fine
shoes there are two sewed pieces, two inner
soles, two stiffen ings, two nieces of steel to give
a spring to the instep, two rands, twelve heel
pieces, two sole linings, twenty upper pieces,
thirty tacks, twelve nails in the heels and
twenty buttons, to say nothing of thread, both
silk and flax, but tbe wonder is found in the
rapidity with which these multitudinous pieces
are combined in a single completed work, for,
as an experiment, some shoe factories have
from the leather completed a pair of shoes in
less than an hour and a half, and, as a test, a
single pair of men's shoes have been finished in
twenty minute*.

/. \\\ y° u re blaming Pearline for all the
1 A \ trouble. If this is the case, you can
V. A | make up your mind either that Pearl
-11 ine isn t used, or that
' 1 'T~V r , something else is
~ used with it, which
f does the damage. It can't be
* I\ y done by Pearline.
\ou II probably find that they’re trying to wash with
some of the imitations that peddlers, prize-givers and
unscrupulous grocers are palming off upon servants
and some others who can't see the danger. Look into
the kitchen for yourself and see that they use Pearline.
Spn rf Pfddlers and seme unscrupulous grocers will tell you “ this is as good
as ’ or “ the same as Pearline.” IT’S FALSE—Pearline is never
it T-io P cddled . and if your grocer sends you something in place of
*JaCKi Pearline, be honest —send it baek. 317 JAMES PYLE. N. Y.
