Cabbage Culture.
A prominent truck farmer of Soutb
Carolina coast gives the following directions
for the cultivation of cabbage
for market:
Lands should be plowed deep, harrowed
and marked out in rows two
and a half feet apart. A very necessary
precaution is to thoroughly ditch
the land so that at no time water will
stand on it.
A HKorol onnlinofinn nf fflrfillTDr 1Q
necessary, Bay fifteen hundred pounds
to tbe acre. This fertilizer should consist
of a high grade fertilizer, analyzing
8 per cent ammonia, 7 per cent phosphoric
acid and 5 percent, potash. It
is applied in the marks laid off for the
rows and a scooter or bulltongue plow
run through it, so as to thoroughly
mix it with the soil. Two furrows are
. > then thrown together to make a medium
sized bed, which is then rolled,
to firm the ground, and plants set out
on the rows eighteen to twenty inches
apart As soon as the, plants are
started growing, the field is harrowed
with an ironage harrow and dressing
of five hundred pounds of fertilizer to
the acre is applied in every other row,
followed with a subsoil or some other
plow which will thoroughly break the
feeds until you can see the cracks extending
acrossthe same. In about ten
days tbe other furrow is treated in exactly
the same way. After that the land
is kept open by constant work using a
piow, narrow, cultivator or some use
tool that will not break the soil deeper
than two inches. Cultivation should
occurjevery week or ten days until the
cabbage are headed, or tbe foliage
completely covers the ground. Under
ordinary oondition crops worked in
this way yield an average of one hundred
crates of cabbage per acre.

NATURAL HISTORY.

pfiift-* - w
Thlncri Abont Animal* That Fverv
body 8honld Be Posted On.
The lion is called the king of beasts
because be can roar louder and do more
bluffing than any other beast with a
tail seven feet long. It is believed
that a lion who keeps his feet warm,
gets to bed at 9 o 'clock and lets champagne
alone, may live to reach the age
of fifty, but there is nothing certain
about it. Until a few years ago, it was
supposed his roar came from his throat,
and was caused by an attack of bronchitis,
but now it has been definitely settled
that he carries a calliope, a base
drum and a fog horn attached to his
royal person to produce the sounds.
A lion is a good deal like a prizefighter.
He may put up a terrific scrap and
astonish everybody, or he may sell out
for $25 and lay down to a hyena. An
eminent citizen going home at midnight
with a jag on would, perhaps' be in less
danger if meeting a mule, but this statement
should not discourage anyone
frnm iatrcinc when he feels like it. Take
it all in all, the lion does as well as he
can when living, and when dead his
skin makes a beautiful rug for the hired
girl to trip up on when spread on the
library floor.
The tiger has never been given a
highsounding title. He is simply
what he is, and he does the best he can
with the capital invested. How and
then a tiger has been known to roar,
but, as a rule, he keeps his mouth shut
and goes in for meat instead of wind.
His appetite is his only sorrow. To
appease that he is obliged to hunt
around for about 100 pounds of freph
meat daily, and if he can't come across
?

a cow or an ox he lias to take up witl
a Hindoo or an Englishman and picl
the bones a lifetle cleaner. If he coul(
. only get rid of that appetite, or orde
canned beef direct from Chicago, hi:
life would be a happy one.
His strength and aguity are saia r<
1 be marvellous. He could carry off tin
! fattest woman in Charleston as eas^
as a man could saunter away with :
1 strawberry shortcake, and a profess
ional baseball twister might stand anc
throw turnips at him all day long ant
never come within a rod of him. I
is recorded that the tiger never lets gi
of his prey wheu he once has hisclaw:
on it. This shows him to be a beas
with good seuse. Anything or any
body that lets go of a good thing whet
ho has got the dead-wood on it is lack
ing in hair on the top of the head.
No one knows to what age a tigei
lives. If constantly hunted by Nev
York sportsmen, he probably dies o
disgust at the age of one hundrec
years.
The elephant is the largest anima
on legs, aud if Nature had knowu hei
business she would have given him si:
instead of four, and provided him witL
a dynamite torpedo at the end of hi:
tail. The great beast is like a red
headed boy from the country wh<
walks three miles in the morniug t<
attend a village school. Everybody
picks on him and calls him names, an<
he would rather get his back up, how
ever, things have to hum. In his wi)<
state the elephant has nothing to d(
but wander through the forest dell
and stuff his hide with the best tb<
lands affords. In a stale of captivity
he is hauled abont by an iron hook
fastened into his ear, and made to worl
twelvehours per day,union or no union
He is also sworn at aud made to step
lively, and we cannot blame him if ht
now aud then weeps sad tears and sighs
over what a good thing he has lost
An elephant will use his trunk to lift i
sticfc of timber which forty trampi
would stand with their hands in pock
ets and look at for five or six hours
and then turn away from as too heavj
for their spinal complaints.
When not in hunger the gigantii
beast is as docile as a red-headed coot
in the kitchen with only green wooc
to get dinner with, but when driver
to anger .by some one singing, "Ii
the Dear Old Summer Time" into hii
ear, he pulls up sewers by the root
aud tramples baby carriages into th<
dust. The elephant has many enemiei
besides man, and be never gets ove:
two hours' sleep at a time for thinking
of them, but he probably gets along a:
well as if he had been born a crow ort
buzzard. Now and then a seesaw
man going home from his club at t
late hour has bumped up against ai
elephant and got away again, but, ai
a rule, it is far safer to try to pick uj
a mule's hind foot.
It is on record that an elephant ha
lived to the age of 230 years, but tba
was before doctors and undertaker

Natural history says that the whal<
is neither a fish nor an animal. Th<
only way to locate him then, is to de
scribe him as a Chicago beef-packin|
house with a tail bolted on. It goei
without saying that he is of the sea
He has been boss ever since there wai
salt water to swim tn, and at this lat
day it would be useless to argue hin
into playing second fiddle.
The only job given the whale whei
nature turned him out was to go swim
ming ana proviae mmseir wuu une
square meal per day, and he i9 stil
working the same old racket. As t<
the size of a full-grown mammal, i
fourteen large elephants were to swal
low twentyeight politicians and then
get frozen together, head-to-tail, th
bulk would be no greater than the It.
As a rule, he loafs around, but wher
he starts to go anywhere he is in a hur
ry and strikes a gait of thirty miles ai
hour. If he is after the family docto
he runs up to sixty, and dosen't los<
his breath over it.
If Mr. Ansel or Governor Heyward
were on a raft .in mid-ocean, and i
whale going at the rate of sixty mile
an hour should strike it, the friends o
those emiuent and well known gentle
men would never hear of them more
Left to pursue hib own way and slosl
around as he pleases, the whale is no
looking for a scrap and spends a goot
deal of his time in philosophy. Le
some Uncle Reuben from Spartanburg
sticks a harpoon into him, however, o
some tramp steamship tread on hit
tail, and the insulted mouster start
out in a whirlwind of fury and wreck
three or four orphan asylums before hi
cools down.
No matter if you have paid $150 fo
a stateroom on board an ocean line
and have a seat at the captain's tabl
and are a winner at poker in th<
smoking room, a whale could destroy
the steamer with one blow of his tal
and make it lonely for you if he wished
to. The great mammal is supposed t<
live at least five hundred years, but n<
one can be sure of this. He is liable t(
bang bis head against a rock any day
and it is known that now and then
when he gets too fresh, the other in
habitants of the deep gather in conven
tion and make it so hot for him tba
he goes into a decline and his dea<
body comes ashore at Georgetown.

iterary portions of the magazine.
\merlcaus are interested in advertiiing
matter?there is no doubt of
bat?they will read your advertising,
f it is made interesting enough to be
eadable.
If the article offered is a meritorious
>ne, nnd its merits are convincingly
let forth, advertising will sell the
joods. People are seeking a place to
ipend their money, aud will spend it
with that merchaut and manufacturer
who gives them the best reasons why
bey should spend it for their goods.
Another class that gives an attentive
eading to the advertising matter that
somes iuto their hands are tne residents
\f tho rnrol /?Am mnniHoa a;hn ronH
hey agricultural papers and the mall
>rder monthlies. These people have
ewer periodicals than many city resilents,
aud in the winter months they
iave lots of time to read?there being
ewer social diversions than in the
;ities and larger' villages. Therefore,
hey read their papers through?e.yery
void of them?including advertsemenis.
An advertiser cannot expect to sell
lutomobiles to this class of trade, but
my article used on the farm, any modirate
priced necessity or luxury can be
iold to these people if the right method
md literature are used.
When going after these people, the
idvertiser should adopt a more per
lotml tone ; he should tell bis story
nore at leugth. Since be expect these
aeople to order without seeing the
roods, be must be explicit, and give
ill necessary details. These people
3ave the time to read, to consider, the
natter, to talk it over. See that the
idvertising is strong, convincing
nakesa lasting impression. Then folow
up the inquiries, politely and perBistenly.

Very Important To Horse Owners,
i Drivers And.Teamsters.
The strength required of an average
ted team of horses, and the strain od
ie horses to draw a heavy load over
ones or out of a deep rut, hole, or
:er many other avoidable obstacles,
often greater than to draw the same
ad over a smooth surface flfty yards.
It would be small estimate to say a
ireless driver strains bin team in that
anner twenty times a day.
If a driver prevents stJaining his
arses twenty times each day he will
ive them 1000 yards of unnecessary
tilling, and in the 300 working days
I the year 300,000 yards, aud in five
ears 1,500,000 yards,?yearly 1000
liles.
With proper judgment and care
llness the driver, at the end of the
ve years, will have, in place of a team
f weak, overworked, bony horses, a
iam of healthy and strong ones.
From a business point of view will
not pay any horse owner, or driver
r teamster to be careful and considerte,
and to avoid all unnecessary
;rains onlborses ?
And how can humane horse owners
etteraid in making their drivers carell
and considerate than by supplying
lem each montb with a copy of our
lonthly paper?--Our Dumb Animals.
