Keeping CnbbHte* in Winter. In the usual way of keeping cabbage in the winter, there is a considerable loss by freezing aud decay. In attempting to avoid this waste, we have tried with success the method of pitting here described. 'A long pit three feet deep, and a little wider (it may be made as wide as desirable), was dug out on a part of the field where the soil was dry and sandy, and there was no danger that water would enter. The bottom of the pit was * loosened up, so thai the first tier of the cabbages were planted in it, the * stems being set so deep that the heads ^ rested on the soil. The cabbages of j the next tier were set alternately be- ^ tween the lower ones, having the roots partly in the soil. A third tier was t placed on the second, but reversed, with the roots upward. All the soft ? h ads were put at the top. Straw was ^ V In ill Imh uroon 1 : ? , ...u uuu vuv> OI/OIU3, loaviug me roots out, aud earth was thrown upon ? the straw, burying the roots three or four inches. In pulling the cabbages ^ the roots were all taken up with them, , and not cut off. A covering of boards t was laid on the pit, to shed rain. In the spring these cabbages came out in . the best condition; the soft heads 1iad t filled up, and none of the cabbages had been frozen. ; . w H?nd?lDg Enilltge. ^ Elder Evans, of Mount Lebanon, N. a Y.. gives the following as his method a of taking corn-stalks from the field: I ' lie uses two .poles about twenty feet g long, extending the wheels. The corn- g Hulks are put across these. This is a c very handy loading and unloading, f -*ve cut up a load," he says "in about a Ave minutes. It is carried up sixteen ? feet above the driving floor in the t south and. north corners of the barn, j which is built of stone, and is 196 feet c long and 00 wide. A floor strong s enough for all weights, say barrels of p land, is built over the driving floor, G extending from the top of one silo to. j Ihe olher. Here thev are entirely out of the way. We have doors inio the silos on cach floor. The silos ai? thirty-seven floors, where the cattle j stand. When we open a silo, we take oa. all the weights and cut a tunnel ^ down to the middle floor, just large enough to throw the ensilage down. ^ There we have a trap door in the next t \ floor, through which we pass it by a c tube into a box on wheels, containing enough to feed all the stock on one \ side of the stables. We use movable Iron boxes to feed in. Dhey swing in \ ana out. Thus we take the ensilage 1 from the whole top every day. AVe are now.feeding ensilage twice a day * to dtir whole herd of seventy-five head." c Coir* and the Onrry-eonA. It is probable that not one farmer In a hundred ever thinks of using ^ ?uch a thing as the eurry-comb and * brush on his cows, although those in- * itruna ?nts are used regularly in the c horse stable. Yet there is just as 1 much necessity for keeping the skin a of the cow in good condition as that c of the horse. No matter whether the c cow is suffered to run at large in the 8 pasture all the time, or is kept in a T stable or corral and fed, the process of * Mirrvino !tnd hrii?Mni? ' v*"0 mu uuiinuuio but lilted time and the farmer will be amply cepaid for his trouble, both in \ the better anpearance and increased i fteldgivin <|ythe cows for their good 1 treatment That a currying is oecess- 1 try for the health and is grateful to i Ihe animals may be seen by the habit < which cows have o* "brushing" each < ether for a half-hour at a time with i the spiny surface of their tongues, i The evident signs of satisfaction < which they give when undergoing 1 'y'' this process should furnish a hint to i the observant, farmer which needs but -little trouble to aot upon. In some parts of Europe where cows are kept . . In the bam nearly all the time, their coats are as carefully combed and atteadfid to as it the hair of a child's head, and it is regarded as a matter Of necessity. No doubt this suggeaUm .HAM lift Ullohwl hv mantr uiKa ?- "J WTUV re accustomed to let both horses and oowa go almoet uncared for from one jwHtaA to another; but the fact ttevertheleea remains that keeping a cow'ft ekin in good order and cleanly is of as much importance to her well-1 being as keeping her well supplied with nutritious food.?Live Stoch Monthly. Green Food ^Supply. While summer lasts it is not a verj difficult matter to keep up a good supply of green food of different kinds Eor the poultry, even when they arc coufined to comparatively small yards; but when Jack Frost asserts his sway, withering and browning the vegetation of all kinds within his reach, the autsido supply of "greens" is suddenly sut short, and unless provisions have be^n made in anticipation of this, the poultry will be deprived of one great essential to success. Those who havtJ anough land for a good sized garden can generally find room to grow snough green food for the winter sup ply of their birds, and poultry breeders who have large numbers of birds md plenty of land make it a point to jrow a lot of green food especially for ;heir fowls. The easiest vegetable to grow for ;his purpose, and one which is also the jest on account of its excellent keen. - X- j ng qualities, is cabbage. Those who jrow cabbage for home use in good j luantities, or who grow it for market )urpos63, need not grow it especially j or the poultry, for there are generally inough loose, spongy heads and waste eaves to give quite a large flock of owls a generous and regular supply. Where there is not room enough on he place to grow the necessary winter preens, a good supply,say one hundred >r more heads, of cabbage should be nought when the farmers and market 1 ;ardeners are selling it off briskly in he fall,at which time it can be nought auch cheaper than during the winter, n buying it, have it delivered with he roots on, just as it is pulled from 1 he ground. Now take some good sand nd put it in a dark part of the cellar, n which plant the cabbage deeply, up o the head, packing the cabbage as losely together as possible, and drawng the leaves up nicely around it. In ! his way cabbage can be kept fresh i .nd good until spring, while it can ilways bo readly. gotten when needed, t can be kept nicely packed in the ;round (though inverted) out in the i ;arden or near by the house, and well i overed with soil to protect it from the rost, but it is frequently anything but k "labor of love" to get at it after a leavy freeze. Turnips, turnip tops, loets, onions, etc., are also used for the >oultry during the winter, but cannot jompare with cabbage for cheapness ind handiness. It is time now to be >lanning to procure a winter supply if green stuff for poultry.?American ?oultry Yard. Household Hints. It rests you in sewing to change our position frequently. Well-venlilated bedrooms will present morning headache and lassitude. When eggs are scarce, remember one :ablespoon of corn-starch will take he place of an egg in anything you :ook. A little borax put in the water in vbich scarlet napkins and red-bordered owels are to be washed will prevent ading. Lay the green peel of cucumbers vhere the cockroaches will get at it. Dhey will eat greedily of the poisonous juice and die. Recipe*. Heqf Soup.?Take a shank of beef vith plenty of meat upon it, put over n cold water, and boil five or six lours, the day before using. The next lay skim off the grease, put the jelly n soup kettle and one hour before lerviDg add turnips, carrots, onions, cabbage and potatoes chopped fine in quantity desired; a few tomatoes and i little celery improves it.
