In lime of even ordinary prosperity
there I* money to he made out of a well

of non-praducera who look to other* to
supply them with vegetable* The ma
jority o? people are vegetarian*, and It
t* never very dlffl ult to sell choice vege
table*. Even turnip*. If young and ten
der (and. furthermore, are nicely washed
and hum-bed I command a large aale from
all class** of people. There are plenty
of people of both taate and mean* who
are not averse to a nice dish of turnip*
or turnip salad. At any rate, they are
willing to reaort to such In the absence
of asparagus or spinach. There are
many, doubt lea*, like the writer, who Ilk*
all vegetablea. only asking that they be
culled at th# proper time and served
properly. Young turnip* stewed In milk,
properly seasoned, served hot, la a dish
not to be despised by a king or queen,
with an appetite. But there are people
end people, and there are vegetablea and
vegetables. Some like one kind; some
like another. Very fastidious person* may
scorn a coliard. a pumpkin or a carrot,
but regard with much favor asparagus,
celery, spinach and salsify. Asa rule,
thoae vegetable, most difficult to produce
ure the ones most valued by the so-called
•cultivated ta*t*. A
Asa general thing, a Southern garden
rarely con'alna more than eight or ten
different vegetables during a season
Tileae embrace those kinds moat eatdiy
grown by the average amateur and con
sist of turnip*, beans, coliard,. squash*,,
onions, beets. English peas, Irish pota
toes and okra. It I* rarely that other
than these are to be found In the ordin
ary kitchen garden, especially In the
country.
Now and then we find an enthusiastic
ama'cur who takes delight In growing as
many specie, of vegetable, a a the *ced*
of ran be found, and recently at this
amateur'* t.ffble fully twenty different
kind, were served for dinner, conslltul-
Inga veritable feaal for Ihe vegetarian.
,uch a, we rarely see. hut which any
one can have during the summer season
If It I* no desired.
One must have the necessary "ambi
tion" to see how many different vege
tables can be raised In the garden before
ih-y can have the thirty or more kinds
that It la possible to have at *one lime
or another during th* summer season
Besides the nine kind* Just enumerated,
ihe amateur of spirit can provide hi, ta
ble with asparagus, bu'trr bean,, cab
bage, celery, lettuce, carrot,, salsify, pat
snip. sp'nach, kale, cucumber, cauli
flower, paraley, pepper, radish, egg plant,
leek, endive, horseradlrh. green corn, corn
salad, ereaa. Bwla* chard, rhubarb, globe
artichoke, mustard, melon,, sweet pota
toes.
The vegetarian need not Marve to death.
So long a, eedlnlle and harvest endures;
so kmg as there la rain and a spot to cul
tivate It 1* easy enough to grow a good
dinner Here are nearly two score of
plant* that ore readily and cheaply grown
In the garden:
Gardening In the South la like a rlrela,
no spacta! beginning or ending There 1*
not a month In the year that something
cannot he planted and the time when
there Is least to lie planted Is a time for
Ihe most vigorous work of preparation—
that of plowing and manuring the soil for
Ihe time of most active planting That
time with the majority of Southern gar
dener, Is In February, but a time of only
secondary Importance Is In Ihe fall of the
year, Me pi cm tier and October, when the
best work for Ihe coming year la accom
plished The foundation of success la lo
be laid then.
In Ihe next two months the soil should
have a preliminary preparation In the way
of plowing and manuring The following
season's success will be Influenced by the
work thut Is to done or left undone In the
Autumn.
Whatever vegetable matter la now on
the surface should he turned under so
that It can become decomposed before
planting lime In the Rprlng After turning
the land ahould be laid off lmo J-foot fur
rows and from time to time all organic
manure that can be made use of should
lie applied lo the furrows and the furrows
listed upon. It la well wherever the land
Is nt all stltr to make the lists with a
turn plow, making the ridges as high as
possible The winter freexe* will have the
effect of thoioughly pulverising the sur
face of sui-h soil and It will be easier to
cultivate next year If care I, taken that
II Is never plowed when loa wet.
Some lowlugs In Order.
If for any reason sowing* of turnips
have not been minis, or If mode, failed,
otvlng to Insects or drougth. there !s
plenty of time yet to make the beet of
crop*. Sowings be made all through
Set tember. Even rutabagas can be
sown for several weeks yet.
While some few value the turnip crop
as tt should be valued, there are a good
many thnt <k> not appear to appreciate
how valuable It t*. Young turnips are a
good table vegetable as all know, but It
seems that many farmers do not know
that they are good, for all kinds of stoca
and poultry. A peck of turnips fed daily
to the mulew nnd horse*, will tend to keep
them well anil sleek. Turnips boiled wltn
notion seed and little bran Is about os
line a milk producer as anything that
can be had They should be fed lo the
poultry, both raw and cooked, and It will
cause the hens to lAy at a season, when.
If fed only grain, they would not possibly
bay. (Our dog* are fond of boiled turnip*,

Among the first which were Introduced
were Abundance. Burbank, Sweet lioLan
and Sntsuma. and these are the best
known, writes l.uther Burbank In Agri

almost even where, resisting light frosts
while In bloom. Burbank ! now grown
extensively In every country where plums
are grown and in some places where
no other plum will thrive. Abundance,
though not of as high quality, gives uni
versal and unbounded satisfaction. Sweet
Hotan. though not as well adapted to
general culture In all countries, yet Is
grown for home use nnd nearby markets
far and wide. Sntsuma though nearly

manner as dried fruit and then baked
or cooked according to taate. Dried sweet

the produ.ta from Japan at the World's

ts described as follows; Cleanly washed
potatoes are placed | n a suitable hasket
and Immersed In boding water for a
short time; when taken out of the basket
they are cut Into thin slice* and spread

tha varieties were nearly the same and
of th* common European character,
growing quite Irregularly four to seven
feet in New England to five to ten feet
In Virginia and southward.
Hemp wa* cultivated In New England
aa early a* 1. while In 1C Virginia
awarded bounties for hemp culture and
manufacture, and Imposed penalties upon
those who did nrt produce It. As house

spun and woven In the United Htate, up
