Secretary Morton made a speech. LATE CABBAGE AFTER PEAS. The fact that peas are to some extent a renovating crop makes it practicable and sometimes profitable to grow another crop after theaa the same season. To do this, the rows of peas must not be left to be overgrown with weeds. Slake the rows far enough apart to cultivate be tween with a horse. After the peaare about done, cultivate again to mellow the ground, and plant the cabbage in the same rows where the peas were. The nitrogen supply is there most abundant, as pea roots have the power of dissolving air and making its nitrogen available. Boston Cultivator. planting coax early. Fanners often get impatient when the season of corn planting is two or three weeks away, and if there has been a fav orable spring and the weather ha3 been warm and pleasant for a week or more, leaving the ground in good condition, their impatience overcomes their better judgment. The corn is planted with the usual result of rotting in the cold, wet weather, and the chance3 are that much of U must be replanted. Corn, planted two or three weeks later, will produce the better crop. This planting and sow ing but'of season applies equally well to many other crops. Remember, that, on an average, seasons vary but little from the set period of proper warmth and cold. Hence, do not let a week of un seasonably fine weather lead you topper form some rash farm operation, but be content to wait. There is plenty of other work that should claim your atten tion during this anxious period. Any seed grain is better off in the granary than it is sown unseasonably. American Agriculturist. SHEEP RAISING. In starting a flock of sheen it would be desirable to begin with a few at first, when one is deficient in experience, as a knowledge of the habit3 of thee ani mals is indispensable to success with them. By beginning with a small flock and getting as much information as pos sible from a good manual md exercisiug much care and patience there will be little difficulty in making a success of it and graduall 7 increasing the stock. For a beginning it would be better to get the native sheep and use a ram of some hardy kind, as the Shropshire, and so gradually build up the flock. The ram should be changed the second year, another of the same breed being pro cured, but it is not desirable to change the breed when one has become used to it. The large bodied, long wooled sheep are more difficult to manage than the hardier short or medium wooled kinds, of which the Shropshire is themo3t pop lar. A good book on this subject is i4Stewart's Shepherds' Manual," which may be procured through any bookseller. New York Times. SUNFLOWER-SEED CAKE f6r COWS. Sunflower-seed cake has found exten sive use for feeding dairy cows within a few year3 in foreign countries and especially in Denmirk. A trial is reported with four cows, made to com pare the effects of sunflower -seed cake and linseed cake. The sunflower-seed cake was fed in the form of meal. A summary of the results of the trial, which lasted nearly two months, shows that the addition of sunflower-seed cake to the usual lation was accompanied in the case of each cow by an increased milk yield. In this connection the addi tion of one pound of the cake appeared to be practically as effective as the addi tion of two pounds. Sunflower-seed cake seemed to be fully a3 effective as linseed cake. The sunflower -seed cake apparently had no effect on either t-lie fat contents of the milk or the live weight of the animals. Financially there wa3 no advantage from the addi tion of either the sunflower-seed cake or linseed cake to the basal ration in this trial. American dairymen, as a r,ule, accept linseed-oil meal or cake as a valuable food for the dairy, to be fed in a limited quantity along with the usual ration. They consider it3 additional cost com pensated for in the increased value of the droppings of the cattle for manurial purposes alone. New York World. HOW TO SPOIL A HORSE. A bridge over a railroad track ; a fine, mettlesome horse hitched to a cutter containing a man; a locomotive and cars passed over the bridge; dense clouds of steam arose on either side. The horse, endowed with the instinct of self-preservation, made a vigorous but not vicious, attempt to escape what seemed to him a deadly peril. In a few boonds he cleared the bridge ; he had escaped ; the steam, the rattle and roar were things of the past; he came to a lively trot, and in a few minutes would probably have for gotten the episode. But the driver slowly released himself from encumberiLg wraps and grasped a cruel looking whip; by this time the horee had gone in a highly acceptable manner fully a square, and totally un conscious ol doing anything but his duty, both in escaping from danger and in now working faithfully. At that moment the cruel looking whip cut the frosty &.ir with a swish and raised a horrid welt on the now quivering flank of "man's" best dumb friend. Blow after blow followed in quick succession; the horse wildly plunging from side to side of the street, threatening to upset the cutter, which, unfortunately, he did not, all in the vain effort to escape a torture he could not understand. What will be the result of that brutal torture? The horse must necessarily as sociate the subsequent torture with the roar and steam at tho bridge; upon his next exoerieace he will realize that he has a triple peril to escape, two on tho bridge, the worst of all just beyond it, His efforts to escape ail will result in a possible runaway and loss of life. In short, the real value of that horse was in a few minutes greatly reduced, for he is now much more unsafe thin before. Will men ever learn how to handle and treat the horse? Farm, Stock and Home. BEST BREEDS FOR CAPONS. Of course, the cockerels of any breed or variety can be dponized, but, obvi ously, the smaller breeds do not make as desirable capons as 'the larger, writes B. Butler. Nothing better can be used for this purpose thaa Indian Gasj Dork ing.?, Brah'rnas, "Cochia3,'ani PTymouth Rocks, with their various cros3e3. The Indian Game crosses are specialty desir able, as the birds have immense breasts, and an abundance of white meat is re garded as the one thing needful in ca pons. All of these breeds have size, and all, except the Dorking, have yellow legs and yellow skin, little matters that are of considerable moment in telling the fowls in American markets. Better than the pure breeds wjuld be the cross ofnndhnGame with jl J)orking a Plymouth Rock7rahnia. or a Cochin. Prolably the first cross, Indian Game Dorking, would be the best, though the coloring would not be very rich. Both these breeds have a remarkably meaty frame, and the breast is fully developed. The Indiam Game-Plymouth Rock cross would give a fine, meaty fowl, but the birds, if they happened to be plucked when growing feathers, would show dark pin feathers. The Indian Game Brahma cross would probably give the greatest size, and the capons would be something immense in proportions, if kept till full grown. The Brahma breast would be filled out by the Indian Game biood, and the Brahma would furnish the frame to build upon. The Indian Game-Cochin cross would be somewhat similar to that with the Brahmi, though probably not quite equal to the Brahma. Some breeders make a cross of the Ply mouth Reck and the Ight Brahma, and this give3 a large fowl maturing a little quicker than the pure Brhma, and mak ing a good market fowl. Capons from this cross are large and desirable speci mens, though not equalling in breast meat the Indian Game crosses which we have seen. The Dorking, crossed with these other breeds, would be admirable except in color, it having a white skin and white legs, and its crosses showing a pale yellow, where a richer color is considered desirable. American culturist. Agri- FAR1I AND GARDEN NOTES. The Crescent strawberry has a great many advocates. The Ohmer is a promising new variety among blackberries. There is nothing else so good for cov ering hot-beds as glass. Try geese or ducks where the land i3 too wet for chickens to do well. Lime scattered plentifully around helps to keep poultry-houses dry. The little chicks must D3 kept dry and warm at night and secure from rats. Hatch early and do not move pullets about to various runs when they are maturing. The grower who plant3 a good strain of Daniel O'Rouke early pea3 will be suc cessful with them. The Rural New Yorker advises trying the "Horticultural" lima bean, a novelty offered by seedsmen this season. The Cro3by peach, which originated in Massachusetts about seventeen years ago, has had its hardiness thoroughly tested. Tho number of pear3 allowed to grow on young trees should be limited by ju dicious and early thinning out of the embryo fruit. Doctor Ho3kin3 is reported as saying that he knows of no apple that is not better ripened on the tree. With peara the rule is the reverse. The Chinese, who understand cheap production of food, as well as other pro ducts, are said to be the greatest poultry-raiser3 in the world. It is more important to give the chicks food that i3 warm, sweet and fresh, and very frequently, than to pamper the ap petite with condiments and luxuries. "Vermont Beauty," a pear which ripens a little later than the. Ssckel, is considered one of the most desirable of dessert pears. The fle3h i3 rich, juicy and fiaely flavored. "Gardening" advises as soon a3 Chi nese lilies Narcissus) have done bloom ing, tp dump them out into the ash barrel, for they are of no use to keep over. They are not hardy in the North ern States. It is advised that strawberry plants shipped from a distance should be set at once, and if this is impossible they should at least be tm packed and spread out on the cellar floor. The best way is to raise your own plants. W. El. BOAID, Attorney at Law EDENTON, N. C C771C3 021 KT5Q STREET, TWO DOOM) WEST 07 IfAlX. mctit tm IssMrter Cearts of Cfcsraa ts9 DR. C. P.
