DISEASES OF CABBAGE

INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS AT MARYLAND STATION. Early Varieties Do Beet on Soil Rich and Full of Humus, While Late Plants Thrive oh Sod Field Broken In Spring. In a bulletin of the Maryland experiment station, by C. P. Close and T. H. White, an account is given of cultural and variety tests of cabbage, together with the general directions for the culture and care of the crop. The authors being of the opinion that the susceptibility to rot and disease of cabbages growing on very rich, highly cultivated land is due more to something unsuitable in the soil rather than to the direct attacks of bacteria or fungi, a study was made to determine the effect of stable manure, of various chemical fertilizers, and of different cultural treatments, such as ridge planting, level planting, and proper drainage as correctives of the condition favoring the development of cabbage diseases. The experiments were conducted for three seasons on a piece of rather stiff clay land that has been manured and planted to truck crops for many years and upon which cabbage had previously rotted badly. The various treatments given failed to act as correctives of the supposed excessive salts or poisonous matter in the soil. Good cabbages, on the other hand, were grown on soils of the. same character and drainage conditions with the exception that the land had been in sod from which hay had bebn cut. It is concluded that whereas early cabbages do best on soils that are rich and full of humus, late cabbages generally do best on a sod field broken early in spring and well manured. The varieties tested are classed into three general types relative to their disease resistance. The disease-resist-ant stock all appeared to conform to one type of vigorous growth with green or purplish-green curled and

Savoy Cabbage—Good Kind to Plant.

crinkled leaves. This type was found to be quite disease-resistant and hardy, remaining in the field throughout the winter and producing seed in the spring. Cabbages of the Savoy type were also fairly disease-resistant, standing conditions that usually destroyed cabbage of the ordinary flat Dutch type. The ball-headed varieties were most subject to disease. A comparative test of low-priced and high-priced fertilizers indicated that the former sometimes give as good results as the latter. It appears, however, that the same results cannot be expected from any particular brand of fertilizer under all conditions of soil and seasons. On the whole, the use of a fertilizer with a high nitrogen content is recommended. In raising late cabbage plants many growers are in the habit of using a piece of poor, light' soil for a seed bed, to which is applied a very liberal dressing of commercial fertilizers. This appears to produce toughened plants quite resistant to the checks from transplanting. Experiments were conducted for two years to determine a fertilizter suitable for this purpose. The results Indicate that it is profitable to use nitrate of soda on the plant beds at the rate of 450 to 600 pounds per acre.

The Silo.

Besides corn, excellent silage may be made from alfalfa, clover, oats and peas, rye, sorghum, kafir corn, millet and milo for silage;, it ie often made from other plants, especially during drought seasons, when excellent sorghum and kafir corn can be grown as a catch crop. The first cutting of alfalfa hay during a wet season is often lost. This could be put in the silo and saved, and by feeding out during the .summer months, the silo can be refilled in the fall with corn and kafir corn.

The Squash Bug.

The squash bug, although confining its attacks largely to the squash and other plants of the gourd family, Is often very injurious to cucumber in early spring, when, emerging from its winter quarters. It finds its way into the cold frames in which the plants are being started, when no other food plant is available.

Wind-Break for Orchard.

A wind-break for orchards is desirable in nearly all sections. Spruce, poplar or willow are suitable for thia purpose, and if planted with ualfona* Uy they beautify tbe farm.

LIVE STOCK

HORSE FACTS. Animal Which Lahore for You Should Have Best Feed. Are you planning to keep your horses comfortable this winter? Do not expose the horse so that he is liable to take cold, but give him the protection that you give the family. The horse which labors for should have the best feed for the farm. Make it a point to see that the best quality of hay goee to the horses. And It is not hard to notice that they make the best use of the beet feed. It will not do to try to make the horse fit the harness. It is wiser economy to fit the harness to the horse. The horse has his shape, but you can change the harness —that is whhtiit has buckles for. There is not much use in grinding feed for horses if they have good teeth. You will make nothing by grinding oats for the horse. Some horsemen claim that crushed oats are no near as good as whole oats. There is danger of over-feeding horses and they can easily get too much grain. The horse will have poor digestion soon enough without trying to bring it on. Feed horses grain in proportion to the work done. The feed should be lessened on idle days, or serious results will often follow. Regulate the amount of the feed according to the amount of work done. All animals need salt in their feed. Salt aids digestion, and by actual test on cows they give'a certain amount of milk more each day when fed salt The more I work horses with all kinds of bridles the more I am in favor of the blind bridle. I find that the horse gets quite tricky when worked In an open bridle. He will learn to shirk every time. —EL J. Waterstripe, in Farm and Firesddo.

Cost of Calves.

Do you know how much it costs you to raise your calves’? It would prove interesting and profitable for you to keep a record. Prof. Shaw of Michigan, did so, and found that the Holstein calf used in the experiment the first year of its life 381 pounds of whole milk, 2,668 pounds of skim milk, 1,262 pounds of silage, 219 pounds of beet pulp, 1,264 pounds of hay, 1,247 pounds of grain, 147 pounds of roots, 14 pounds of alfalfa meal and 50 pounds of green corn. The grain ration consisted of three parts each of corn and oats and one part of bran and oil meal. At the end of the year the calf weighed 800 pounds at a cost of $28.55 for feed.

Water Stock In Two Fields.

making trouble. Such a trough may be built with a solid base or set on blocks. The common size in use is 8 feet long, 2 feet wide at top and 1 1-2 feet deep, all inside measurements.

Raising Pigs.

The i cheapest way to put gains on young/pigs is through the sow. She has a t strong digestion and can turn coarso grains and pasture into easily digested milk. Careful experiments show? that a pound of weight taken from the sow will make more than 1 pound of gain bn the pigs, the flesh of the young animals containing more water. The sow should be fed to produce a high milk yield, and the pigs should ge kept with her until they get to eating a full feed of grain and pasture.

Balancing Ration.

When one has corn, corn fodder, ensilage and elover hay, it is considered the best practice for one to procure a food rich in protein, such as bran, cottonrseed meal or linseed meal in the proportion of 5 parts bran. 3 parts cornmeal, 2 parts cot ton-seed meal, and feeds 10 pounds of the mixture each day, with 80 pounds of ensilage and 10 pounds of clover bay, he will get very good results. Molasses is ordinarily fed by sprinkling over the hay* or ensilage.—Country Gentieman.

Don't Pasture Too Early.

Thera is always a temptation to turn the stock on pasture before the gross has had a chance to get a start. At this time the animals win get lit tie good from the pasture, and they are IUMy to do much damage In trnmpilng the wwt soil. Let the ground getisoUd and the grass a good start hetero they go on it
