I have tried various methods of keep iag cabbages through the winter, with out success, suys a writer iu the Americat Cultivator. Attempts to bury iu pits o trenches failed with me, and sccoud, ] could not readily get at them as wanted by reason of frozen ground. Often th? cabbage would freeze, also.. Aly prescot method of storing'cabbage in winter is t< ' put them, heads down, in bius in mycelial-, and from one to three iu depth, according to the room at mv rnmmnnH 1 ? do not pull cabbage from "the ground, but when put iu the cellar iu this way I cut tbem qff just above the roots, with n small hand axe. By making a slanting cut the cabbage will not lie broken from he stump. The roota have no keeping qualities. Cutting off the roots does awny with all the dirt. 1 take off the principal share of the surplus leaves. Store the cabbages when dry. I can keep them by the above method until late iu the spring, and still have them tender and crisp. Iu fact, I keep all ol my vegetables iu the cellar, exceptiug my squash. The temperature, should he maintained at about- forty degrees aft^r winter setslu. Stored in this way the farmer may have good vegetables throughout the cold season. LIDKKAL MANURING I'AYS.

It is a practice of doubtful expedient to set new peach trees after an orchar has been planted three years. Peac trees are short lived, and an orchard cai ^iot be kept full oi iroes with profit, ui tot" prw1 vu? ircCT lire nit ncuriy 01 me nun age. If new trees are constantly set i when the body of the orchard liceoim unprofltnblUtherc arc still a few straj gling and fotingcr trees which the owm . dislikes to sacrifice, and which are y practically of almost no value. Land ci ^ no put to hotter use than to Iks tilled for tli \ purposeX supporting a few scatterin and indifTefmt trees. But even the mo immediate rtiue of trees which are tillc in is trifling, and seldom worth *1 trouble they give. Thoy are check od l their well-established reighbors, an yield little. I have had experience U many year* in this direction, says L. I ii mi pi b?ii 11 Ml Will' UMIHWHB 1.1 III M . III! I ifi M II W I Ballet, In Garden and forest, and hat? yet to see such an experiment in the peach orchard which paid. In apple orchards c it ii frequently profitable, but apple trees are set further apart, and the trees are sufficiently long-litod to allow all the I am confident tnai tuuov e allnw sn tbelr peach orchards to get too old. There ly should be no sentiment in a mattcr-ofre fact operation' like the growing of J8 peaches, and when the trees cease to be fd profitable on account of age, they should e; be uprooted. I have seldom known at peach orchards to be profitable after they tJ were twelve years planted, particularly es when they have had gcod culture and le have borne heavily. It is sometimes true thai tbey cease to bo profitable at an earlier age. But whenever the time comes, cut them down, root them out, i- and plant anew, with the same thought f. for profit that leads you to cut your corn le or plow undor your strawberries. At ;t any rate, do not bo deluded with the no5, tion that continually filling in an orchard il is profitable. ie >f THE VALUE OF FRUIT TREES. it ??A good fruit tree ia worth fifty n dollars," wo heard an old farmer saj re18 cently. If this is true, an orchard of i ono acre containing fifty trees should ini crease the value of the farm upon which ? it ia situated by tbe pleasant sum ol ; - $2500?less, of course, the original valuo n of that individual acre. While It might s bo difficult to find a purchaser who t? would accept this valuation, says R. K. , James in the American Agriculturist, my U J own experience inclines me to the be v lief that the farmer's assertion was not I far fronr right. A money yield of three | 0 dollars per annum from each tree would j give six per cent upon this capitalized ' value. It is a poor tree that will not average this, cveu allowing for off years, . and off years are not so frequent as to - alternate regularly with the hearing onflb. 1 A healthy tree, properly cared for, will r give a crop two years out of three that [ will pay for harvesting. Occasionally a , trco will give a crop that wij^^fsy the j j interest for ruauy-year<in one. An Early j liiehtnond cherry tree paid inn last year > eight doll;..*, besides the fruit used at 1 home, which was sufficient to pay entire j cost of gathering. From a sweet cherry [ tree this year I sold thrcc-aud-one-half ; bushels at two dollars per bushel. ; Two Chickasaw plum trees, growing i so closely together that their branches ; intertwine as if they were trees, the two covering a space of about five hundred ; square feet, frequently pay ten dollars in i a season, which would be at the rate of over $600 i>cr acre. A pear tree near by yields ten bushels in a good season, and one dollar per bushel ia not an unusual price. Three early apple trees this season gave over fifty bushels, which sold at from eighty cents to $1.20 per bushel. ' The trees were so full that I had to cotnjpfcncc picking while yet very green, to 1 save the limbs from breaking. Yet the same trees last year gave a crop that paid more than ?ix per cent. upon a value at fifty dollars, each. These figures are not exceptional nor peculiar tt. a specially favorable locality, but are such as may bo attained almost anywhere in our broad lard if discretion is used in the selection of varieties, and good qarc taken of the trees from the ttnic they aro planted. It *ruc that llh?.above figures are not ooouued from Sfiftooa v1V/agcIlul?!,t fiW &A\W.Vvcrw.' fcrc results may be had from small ortfthAhls in which a variety of fruits are v. grown, aud so arranged that the bearing l*riod will extend over a lone season. ? j -a r o he I f. I . FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Jfcfey . Toulouse and Emlxku geese are very ?T large, hardy nn<1 rapid growers, and do ? " not require much water. ' If you have not fixed up the cow barn 2L ho it will be comfortable this winter, do now?not next week or next month. A small farm may be made larger withj? 'out extending its area; by deepening and j8 enriching the soil and more thorough ^ultvation. kc if your land is rich, make nnd save all in the manure you can to keep it so, and if it of is poor do the same that you may make a to portion of it rich. The selection of a creamer should hinge on what is most desired, highest quality or greatest convenience and economy in time, ce apace and labor. Jt Peaches should not be used for chicks r" of heavy breed, as they tend to deform the chickens while the breast bone is still or in a cartilaginous state. The men who makes the most money t from farming are not the ones who work n the hardest or the most houfs, but those ^ who manage with the greatest wisdom. House plants should have as much sun l(} and light during the winter months as possible; admit air whenever the temc (K-rature is not too cold, tSay forty degrees ,y Fahrenheit in the open air. is As a rule it is liest not to prune the peach trees until the spring. More or in 1 less of the wood is often injured by g 1 freezing, and in pruning this should aln ways be removed from the trees. One-half the meat supply may be ob>< tained from the poultry yards. There is d no need of the farmer keeping beef cattle if he keeps poultry, a change oc? casionally of course is appetizing. 5 Did you ever try wintering hogs on clover hay, soaked, as the principal " "feed? Tf ycu have not and have not a y silo, suppose you try it the coming winter 6 and report success in the spring. | Cutting out the blighted parts of pear trees ana pruning tnem is the only safe ' remefly.

House plants should never l>? apinkled { or watered on the foliago when the di| ' rcct rays of the sun are upon them. When gas is used in the room where plants are kept they will be more thrifty if a light ai tide of paper or muslin is ^ well dampened and laid over them durv ing the evening.

A sad-faced, handsome woman, poorly but neatly elad, was seated on a bench at tho station house yesteiday, says i the Memphis Avaldnrhe. She held an infant in tier arms, and was weeping in a silent, hopeless sort of way. A reporter drifted in, and after some questioning, the woman told her story. Her name is Mrs.Qettie Slaughter, and she came from near Collierville, in this county. Her maiden name was MoCord. During her girlhood she met and loved a farmer' named J. Franklin Slaughter. They were married on Janu* ary 15, 1882, and dwelt together poacefuiiy and happily. Soon after their marriage Sallie Sutton; a pretty orphan child 10 years old, came to them and asked for a home. The Slaughters were poor, but they took the girl in and cared for her as best they could. Sallie'grew rapidly and developed into a flue girl. She found favor in her foster-father's eyes, and Mrs. Slaughter noticed that J. Franklin-was fond of AaeoaaU-. lb. 1 ? * * vmiuoojlu^ lilt} uuxoin About a year ago he said he would find Sallie a bettor home than he could give her, and he and his adopted daughter started for Memphis ostensibly. Neither of them returned. After a time the truth dawned on the deserted wife, and, trying to forget her false husband, she set about trying to make a living for herself and two small children and her invalid mother. She met with ill sucoess. Her health was delicate and she was unable to do rough work. But for the kindness of neighbors the family would have starved. About a week ago Mrs. Slaughter received news of kor runaway husband. He had killed himself in a fit of madness caused by the fickleness of the girl he had ruined. Slaughter and the girl were living in Kentucky as man and wife. She had admirers and encouraged them, and Slaughter objected. She pleaded innocence for a time, but her loyers became more marked in their attentons, and a violent quarrel took place between Slaughter and the girl. She threatened to leave him. Confronted with the prospect of losing the prize for whioh he had abandone4 home, wife, children and honor. Slaughter put an end to his miuerable existence. He owned a revolver, and a ball from it crashed through his brain and left Sallie again without a protector.

She brought her children with her, but left her mother to be cared for by neighbors. Mrs. Slaughter has no money, ar.d wants employment. She said that she was willing to do any sort of work. Hamming lee Floes. No stronger vessels than those of the Dundee whalers are built; they are 1 rom 400 to 1,000 tons displacement, lave powerful, woll-secured engines to -esist the shook of ramming or stoppage >f the propeller by ice, and aro built vith an eyo to tho oasy and rapid replacement of ruddor, propeller and propeller shaft if damaged, these parts peing carried in duplicate. Above all ?ther considerations, they possess itrength for rammiug as well as 'raistance to lateral pressure wh?n "j 7 Anotner viPY lliijwi ibus ' that the bow shall have considerable inclination, which permits the vessel, when ramming very heavy ioo, to lift slightly nnd slide on it, thus easing tho shock and assisting the cutting aotion of tho bow with the downward crushing weight of the ship. In this way it is possible for these steamers at full speed to ram ice over twenty feet thick and receive no immediate incopacitatj ing damage. If the ico is not too heavy the shearlike rise and fall of the bow is repeated several times as the vessel steams j powerfully ahead until lier headway is J checked. Tho difficulty then is to exj tract tho ship from the dock she. has cut by her advance. Me Wanted to Know Too Mnch. Jack?Say, Tom, were you christened that name? Tom?Of coarse I was.
