Questions from Wyoming. 
Mrs. E. F. (}., Waitesburg, Wyo. —1. Does 
mutilation of outer leaves of cabbage prevent 
heading? I sprayed with hydrant water 
the undersides to kill lice and broke many 
lower leaves. Not one headed, although they 
grew well. The variety was all right. 2. 
Is deep cultivation through the season right 
for potatoes; if not, for how long? Last 
year mine were cultivated with garden hand 
plow; the tubers came to the surface; there 
were handfuls of little ones. They were 
planted between rows of early corn, and given 
the same cultivation for both. Did irrigation 
cause, these little potatoes? I§ it well to 
plant corn and potatoes together? 3. Is 
there a good-sized table onion that will live 
through the Winter in our climate and pro¬ 
duce early Spring bulbs? 4. Do you know 
anything of a phenomenal plant called the 
“Chayote?" The Department of Agriculture 
is attempting to introduce it, and the news¬ 
papers boom it as a wonderful plant. 5. 
Do you know anything about the “Baby 
Rambler" rose, said to bloom the year 'round, 
with little protection, especially if kept from 
freezing? It must be the wonder of the 
century. 
Ans.—T. Probably the aphids or lice had 
as much to do with the failure of your 
cabbages to head as the breaking of the 
leaves. Any check at the heading period 
is harmful to cabbages, but they are not 
often disturbed by the loss of a few 
outer leaves. 2. Here in the East we 
think shallow cultivation best for 
potatoes, especially toward the latter part 
of their growth. It is not a good plan to 
grow potatoes among corn; it is a too 
hungry and rapid-growing plant, and is 
sure to rob the potatoes. Irrigation or 
heavy rains after the tubers have started 
is likely to cause a development of small 
potatoes near the surface. 3. There are 
no large onions likely to be hardy in 
Wyoming. The Egyptian Perennial onion 
can be planted in the Fall and produces 
clusters of excellent green onions the size 
of one’s thumb very early in Spring. It 
seems entirely hardy. It may be propa¬ 
gated by divisions or by planting the 
“sets” or buttons that form on the stalks. 
It does not seed or form large bulbs. 
Probably Yellow Danvers is the hardiest 
of good-sized table onions. If planted 
in Fall and well covered it sometimes 
lives over Winter. 
4. Chayote is the popular name of a 
singular vegetable of the Gourd family. 
Botanically it is Sechium edule. It is a 
tropical vine grown in Mexico, the West 
Indian Islands, Northern Africa and some 
of our Southern States. The fruits are 
cooked something like the squash, and 
are said to have a pleasant flavor. It 
has also tuberous roots that are eaten 
like yams. The Chayote will grow in the 
North in Summer, but the seasons are too 
short for it to fruit or form tubers. The 
fruits have a single enormous seed that 
commences to grow as soon as ripe. The 
whole fruit is planted, as the seed cannot 
well be separated from it. Chayotes are 
popular where they can he grown, hut are 
not likely to be of value in cool climates. 
5. The “Baby Rambler” rose is a 
French seedling of Crimson Rambler, 
known as Mine. Norbert Levavasseur in 
Europe. Small plants very quickly pro¬ 
duce clusters of blooms like Crimson 
Rambler, but of a somewhat lighter shade 
and less double. Under greenhouse con¬ 
ditions it is a very free and constant 
bloomer. It is very dwarf, and blooms 
freely outside in Summer, but like any 
other hardy rose, ceases growing and be¬ 
comes dormant in Winter.

peared into space. I will now ask this 
gentleman to name the card he selected, 
when it will at once appear in my hand.

HOW TO BUY A BUGGY 
Just as You Would a Horse-Look It Over 
Carefully and “TRY IT OUT” on the Road 
I F YOU buy a buggy with your 
eyes shut, you will get a bad 
bargain every time. A buggy 
may look all right today and go all to 
pieces inside of a year. You would¬ 
n’t think of buying a horse with your 
eyes shut. You would look at his 
teeth to find out his age, wave your 
hands before his eyes to 
see if he had good eye¬ 
sight, look him over 
for spavins and ring¬ 
bones and “size him 
up’’ generally to be 
sure he was sound. 
Then you would drive 
him at a good gait to see 
if he was wind broken. 
Why not be even more careful in buying a buggy? We are selling our 
famous SPLIT HICKORY Buggies on a new plan, which allows the buyer 
to “try out’ ’ the vehicle as he would a horse, before concluding the purchase. 
Here is our offer made in absolute good faith to any responsible person. 
We Will Ship Our 1905 Split Hickory Special 
Top Buggy, the Price of which is $50, Any¬ 
where in the United States on 30 Days

We will tell you exactly how it is made, giving complete specifications, 
so that when you receive the buggy you can go over it part by part, and 
check up every item. You can compare it with the buggies sold in your 
neighborhood for nearly twice as much money. You can hitch up. to it 
and use it just as though it were your own and if you do not find it just 
as represented, you can ship it back to us at our expense and your money 
will be refunded. The Fourth National Bank of Cincinnati , Ohio, will 
tell you we are responsible for our contracts and agreements and that you 
may be assured of fair and honest dealing. 
Here are some points of merit of the SPLIT HICKORY SPECIAL.

screws through the rims; axles are long distance, dust proof, best refined 
steel, with split hickory axle beds cemented and full clipped; oil tempered
