Begin Now for Early Cabbage.
Progretsive Pat mer.
It we want real early cabbage
next spring?and 'he early kind
ts the kind tha' pays?we mu^t
begin now. Most people wait
until after Christ mas before they
begin to think ot sowing cabbage
peed, and somehow they imagine
hat they can rusn tnern on m
liot-b"<!s, so as to have good large
plants to set out in March, and
bring them on the market as eary
as any one; but they are always
badly disappointed on this
point. Wo have tried it, and we
tind 'hat the sooner we plant our
seed alter November loth the
better, and every two weeks lost
after this date in the lall mean
that our cabbage will be nearly
a week Inter in 'he spring.
()i course, a great deal depends
upon 'lie c ire which is given the
plants, and still more upon tlie
fertility and condition of the
land in the spring. At the same
time wo cannot aiFord to neglect
a single point that is likely to
contribute to our success.
FIRST, sTRIVK FOR STRONG PLANTS
Good strong, well hardened,
healthy plants, are indispensa
ble in producing a profitable
crop <?f early cabbage. To grow
these plants we must begin early
in tlie fall, so they will get well
started before very severe weather.
We sow the seed rather thickly
iu cold frames under grass in
rows yi\ inches apart, cover onehalf
inch deep, water thoroughly,
then oyer with old sacks or
newspapers, and put on 'be sash
until the seed sprout The soil
in the beds should be fairly rich
and verv line and well prepared.
Be careful to see thai no bed or
soil is used ihut is affected with
"black rot." Btaclc rot is a
lungu? disea?e which is affec'ing
the cabbage crop very seriou*l\
of late. Last sprin? it made its
appearance i" 0,ir beds, and the
plants began to die in apols, rotting
(iT it the stem n?. r the
ground, and those that did not
seem !o be affected, continued to
to die to such an extent that the
loss wis very serious. We did
not dare to plant there again

They should then all b J'aken

plants at least one inch apart in
the ro-,v. This gives each plant
an equal ch m -e, and tliev will
all make good, stocky plants thai
wid head up well.
Care must b* taken at a I
times not to keep the beds too
warm, for tliis vill make th?
plants tender and easily killed
by severe cold, even under (lie
gins*. In February we should

day, and even at. night, except
iu very cold weather, which often
comes during this month. The
object is to have the plants stocky
and well hardened, so that they
may be set in open ground in
March, without tear of their being
killed by a late cold snap;
and they should be eet out in
March, it possible. This is another
point which contributes to

Now, if you intend to grow
! early cabbage, don't get the idea
xUto your head thai you can
wait until the last minute to pre
pare y< ur land, or that just a littie
manure or fertilizer along in
the drill all that is necessary
to make big, lino cabbage. You
have got to make the whole land
rich. It is almost impossible to
overdo it for this crop, and it
seems that the more you put on,
the more >ou will ho "bio to
take "11 in the shape of cabbage.
In 1905 1 he writer made the
finest crop ol cabbage he ever
"laid eye9 on." The whole
ground was covered, a perfect
mass of cabbage, and they produced
at the ra'o of between
$400 to $500 an acre. He did
it by covering the land with wellrot'ed
stable 11 anure, plowing,
thi- in, then covering the land
atram with manure and working
it on the surface with a cutaway
harrow, after which lie applied
a ton high-grade commercial
fertilizer broadcast, and harrow
ed it ii?. The land was like
an ash hank ; it was full of fertility,
and inv! how those cabI

It is a good idea also to begin
preparing your cabbage land this
fall by plowing and throwing into
ri iges so the fro-t will penetrate
and kill the cut-worms and
other insect1?. If you have ma
rure, it is a good plan to spread
and plow it in, as this will help
along jus1 that muchin thespring,
but do not apply commercial
fertilizer containing nitrogen
until just bo.'ore you are ready
to set your plants in the spring.
Then put it on liberally, broaden
t, and harrow if taoroughly

In conclusion, i h ?ve only to
add, that'?h K trly Jersey Wakefield

the verv best seed obtainable, no
matter if they do cost ;t little
more til 11 lomo others. It pays
in the end. 1
