Thin, sandy soil that, with 'he best culture, will not produce thirty bushel* of first-class merchantable Irish potatoes, can easily be made to pro hue 150 to 200 bushels of **swe#t“ pota toes with the aid of $2 or $3 worth of commercial ferllliiors.

In those nectiuns where cabbages ore grown for a spring crop—to mature In April or May—there Is still good time for starting the crop Well-grown, stocky plants may be had In time to set out l.y the middle of November. It Is rarely the case that damaging freeses occur be fore January In fact. In recent years It Is the late freesra—those occurring In February or March —that have worked the most damage to such vegetable crops as are grown through the winter. Of all these crops there I* not one that can he made more or a money crop than cabbage. It finds a ready sale In the si ring, especially when headed to per fection and presenting no evidence of the depredottnn of Insects and a consequent use of insecticides With the use of a suitable variety and buying a good strain of seed from a re liable grower and planting the crop on rich soil (either naturally *•> or made so by a liberal use of suitable manure). It is possible to make as much as 30.000 pounds of hord-head cabbage on the acre More than this has been made, but as a rule the yield Is a great deal less than this There Is money In the crop, even with a product of !5,0ftl pounds and a well-stocked market to set the price.

Taproot* *>f Trees, The taproot is one of the vital factors of a tree and Is probab*y understood least of all by growers generally.

With fruit trees the same principle hold* true, al though ther# are numerous variations or degrees of depth of the taproot If the proportions did not change w# should hav# roots fifty or more feet deep under oil maple trees.

It has been the opinion of fruit growers from the start that thres plums were less liable to insect ' a< ks than the older European sorts To the fruit growers of New York It has never caused anxiety wnether there were ■ ir cullos about or not.
