TOPICS Of INTEREST TO THE PLANTEh
Tn Grow Early Cabba-re.
If you hav..e it select a piece of me-;-p
diumly low. v:ell drainct land. Do no I
put on any fe :tilizer in the fall or eariy i
winter. Plow this land as thoroughly n
and as deep as you can. so long as you
do not turn up the sub-soil. I usully
plow eight to ten inches deep. puliver- I
ize thoroughl:- with good clod brea
or harrow. I- sure that all lumps 3re
broken and the soil is fine and soft.
Lay off your rows, cast and west. If
you cau. thir ty inches apart. using a I
bull-tongue plow for the purpose. Just v
befOre you orler your plants make up
your beds by throwing two furrows to
gerher wi single horse turn plow.
Then firm the beds by rolling the n
with a light roller. sneh as you would
use in rolling hay land. "In small gar
dens use a plank for firming them." I
Remember that no fertilizer is 1W io
applied until after the plauts are sot.
When your pitInts arrive take the Nis
kets to the field. and as you take the
plants from the basket dip the roots in
water to moisten them. Then set your
plants on the south side of the bed far
enough down the side so tait the t<p of
the bed is above the top of the plant.
This is done to keep the cold north and
northwest winds from twisting and
breaking the plants while small. Your
plants should be ISet :wenty inehes
apart in the row. vid the entire sten
of the plant up to the first leav.es
should be in !h, soil. Pack the Slil v
good and tighL about the roots. T.eI:
soil should be so firm that the leaf of
the plant would pull otf before th2
plant would pul! out. In a climate i
where the thermmeter does not go be- n
low eighteen or twenty you can get t!
best results by setting. your plants in .
Decembe: and January. Where ihe I
thermometer -4)es below eighteen it is b
best to set theni in February and
Mareb. The object of setting in coi M
weather is this: the top of the plant is i
dormant and wil! stand severe cold
without injury. The roots are in land
whe rthere. is n:) fertilizer. and they
continue to grov: anid sp-ead all winter.
About two weeks before your regular .
spring veather opens ip take a turn
pl- of haIf shovel and thrmw a fur- IT
row away from the p:ants in eac-h al-u
ternate row. Run the furrow as vlos4e
to the plants as you can. Then put in
this furrow fttilizer analyzing ih
por cuent. amnicaiia. s'ven per* cent.
phsphorie :clid. five per cent. pth
at the rate of 14) pniids to the :in
and th-el throw Ite furrow back. work
in., dirt weil up round tle plants.
This worlln: vill have worked nd
fertilized one side of eaceh row. Abou
tn days after tIhe first working work
and feriilize the other alley in exactl
tie same way. You will then have
rorked bothi alli:-ys and have put on,
200 potunds of. fertilizer to the ae.
From this time on keep both :lliers
well cultjiva ted anad the soil as op:1 a
ossible. using a lUamond tooth barrow.
and cultivator. The roots that have
been growing all winter will now'take
p the fertilizer sery rapidly and mak.
ou a crop of caboage two or thre
eeks earlier than you can make thetm
y growing your own plants.
In purchasing your plants he sure
hat you get your plants from a reli
ble grower, who uxses nothing but i;ih rt
rade seed. as the success or fatilure o
our crop) will depe'nd upion t he seed
rom which the plants were grown. i
Reliable seed growers select thoir seed I
rom only the perfect henCs of ea
>age, cutting out all imperfect hxe:ils e
efore th'ey seed. Some se.aso'ns they h:
have to cut out over one-half of thieir I
med crop. Other growers allow Ih":
ntire crop to make seed. seed s1Q
d by the first-clatss grower will COst
ou three times rs much as the seen a
rown by tihe secon~d class. The 'ost e.
f seed is about two-thirds the cost of:
growing plants. ar d for thait reason hiit
plant grower who uses the bet~ter aae h:
seed cannot sell you plants at the same y
price as the growe' who uses the hieap-j
er grade seeds. t use only the higth yv
grade seds in n~y business. and do s
not attemp~t to meet tile prices onoted i
by some of~ the plant growers. *Mmi. C.

ately, the handling of kerosene whieh
s hot enough to flash is a highly dai:
:erous thing for one who is not i;
tmucted in the matter. There are
ome things, however, which a house
:eeper m'ay do:
1 Kerosene should always be' han
ll by daylight. and away from all
lames and fires. Under no circum
:\vwhatever should a lamp be
illd while its wck is lighted.
2 After ihing a lamp. both the burn'.
r1' a11ndl the reservoir should always be
arefully wiped free from oil films.
: When a l:imp is not burning. it is
xel to keqp the vick a little be0w
h: top of the tu;e. This helps to
revent oil from workin-; over upoU
he butner and reservoir.
4 Fill your lamps as often as they
-re used. -Espe-i:liy do not ligh": a
amp when the oil is low in the reser
,-o ir.
5 Remem ering that even explosive
,-.ipor cannot do harm unless in some
*ay it actually coiles Inl contact with
. flame. uever use a burner which
its loosely upon the rest of the lamp.
L loose joint may leak vapor, which is
ikely in turn to be drawn up into the
lame.
0 Never use a wick which does not
it the tube provided for it.
'7 Never blow out a kerosene flame
owward. Turn down the wi-k :u
ittle and let the flame go out oC it
melf. If you must blow it out. blow
pward through the burner, or across
:he topl of the chimney. Both of these
nethods produce an upward draft.
S Always keep the kerosene can and
iter in a clean, well ventilated place,
here no lights ever come.
O If you must continue the repre
ensible practice of using kerosene to
indle a lire, do not use it directly
ro the can. Pour the oil you are to
ise into an open cup. away from thme
:tOe, and( tuse the <:11p to distribtute

South Scas. Ps. 97: 1-12.

nor" and more. lhcir vord is "joy."
All missionarics know well what
clouds and dari:ness" are, but they
also know that God is at the heart of
them: they are "run(l about Him."
Every mission field, and none more
than the islands. has known God as
the niysterious Destroyer of opposi
tion. The foes of missions melt away
before Him.
Idol-worshippers are confounded:
they worship mary gods, lest they
miss some true god; and the more
they worship, the more they miss
Him.
John William's Life in Brief.
He was born in England, June 27,
1796.
He became an ironmonger's ap
prentice in London, and a very
skilful mechanic.
A devotee of the world, he was im
portuned by his employer's wife one
day to go to church and was con
verted in that hour.
Hearing. of missioriary successes in
the South Seas. he decided for that
life, obtained release from bis appren
ticeship, and on November 17, 1816.
si sail with his young wie for th
southern Pacific.
He took up work in Raiatea in the
Society Islands, where he built a re
markable house and introduced civil
ization.
By the end of the first year the na
tives had contributed $2,000 to church
work, and had built a wonderful
church.
Williams contructed, in all, five
vessels. One was callec\ the "En
deavor." One, the "Messenger of
Peace." was sixty feet long, built al
most without nails, and with tools he
made himself..
He energetically reached out over
the Pacific, and discovered Raro
tonga. the largest of the Hervey Is
lands. rhey had barely heard of Je
hovah and of Jesus Christ, and the
-ing had given those names to two
of his children. Within seven weeks
William's converts built a church
that would accommodate 3.000 per
sons.
The missionary carried the gospel
to *;-e Samoan Islands, where the
o:e.ti dwnd the national god
f war,--a piece 4f rcltn matting.
Finally the heroic toiler went to
vork in the New Hebrides. The na
tives of Erromanga; on November 20,
S:9. mistook him for one of the
cruel white traders from whom they
had suffered, and murdered him.

The Philippines Unparalleled Results.
-Isa. 41. 1-5.
Americans knew little of the Phil
ppines. until the thunder of Dewey's
uns in 31anila Bay echoed round the
orld. Then we began to ask ques
ions about this far-away archipelago.
We found that we had hecome pos
sesors of 1.200 tropical islands, 115.
000 square miles in extent, populated
much more densely than the
United States. Most of the
population is nominally Roman Cath
lic. though some tribes are Moha.m
nedan in faith, and other.< are frank-*
Iy and entirely heathen.
The Christianity of tihe Philippines
fter four centuri-es of Spanish oppor
unity. produced, among other things.
a popular rallying cry, which was rais
d the moment Spain's power was no
longer feared: "Death to the friars!"
That menacing shout is in itself an
loquent commentary on tihe sort of
~egion taught by noman Catholic --
Spain. The friars have been the sdie
-olirious teachers. and as the outcome
f their instruction their lyitifoners,
hough much bitter experience, de
ire noming so much fr-to be rid of
hem.
The Philippines are to be given po
tical self-government-some day.
Both great parties arc committed to
hat polier. The Republicans promise
o prepare the Filipinos for political
iberty: the Democrats promise to give
thenm political liberty when they are
repared for it.
The preparation. however, will be a
ong and weary task. To imagine it
can be done by any patent short cut
s to cherish the daydream of the fool
s. Education and religion must pre
are the way. The first is fair.y pro
ided for by the government; the see
mnd must depend .on the faithfulness
f American Christians. If we do not
vangelize the Philippines nobody will.
yae claim of other mission fields on
ur interest and help is strong, but
he claim of the Philippines is impera
ive.
In the Philippines to-day, there is
ore than one missionary who had
scarce so much as heard the name of
he islands iive years ago. But all the
;orld has heard it now, and Methodist
missions are there in force and to
stay.
The miksion began March 2. 1899.
v.ith a sermon preached by Bishop
hoburn in the Fillipino theater, Ma
ila. In the same year work among
the natives began and it has contin
e! with unbroken success.
The Filipinos are' nominally Christ
ars. They are Roman Catholic by
aptism, but the real meaning of re
igion could not be taught them by re
lgiouls leaders who were themnscives
xampes of shameless living.
