It will not withstand as much frost as cabbage, but Is very sen sitive to hot weather. To make a suc cess of the crop It Is best to plant It about the time of the last killing frost la Spring, using plants grown in the hotbed or window box. This gives It time to matur before hot weather come. The rows need not be more than two and one-half to three feet apart for horse cultivation, or 24 to . inches apart fos hand work. Tha plants should be from 1 to It Inches apart In rows. The culture Is the same aa let cabbage until the heads begin to develop, alter which the leaves may be tied together over the hrada to ex clude ths light and keep the heads white.

The proposed measure has not been completely draft ed as yet. ... Firemen say they are entitled to ad ditional, time off. and they are willing to accept any measure that provides such relief. In the last campaign one of the principal difficulties the firemen had to overcome was the measure as submitted, because of the fact that it had what appeared to be jokers -of a serious sort.
