A large quantity of broken fresh bones Is one of the most important aids, and with wheat, barley, broken linseed oil cake, and mustard seed and plenty of green vegetables and water, will provide everything that is required. V/;'' / Keeping Cabbairea In Winter. In the usual way of keeping cabbage in the winter, there is a cousider' - able loss bjr freezing and 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 maybe 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, ine ooitom or tue pic was loosened up, so that the tlrst tier of the cabbages were planted in it, the stems being set so deep that the heads rested on the soil. The cabbages of the next tier were set alternately between the lower ones, having the roots partly in the soil. A third tier was placed on the second, but reversed, with the roots upward. All the soft h ads were put at the top. Straw was laid between the stems, leaving the roots out, and 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 was laid on the pit, to shed rain. In the sminff these cabbacrea came out. in the best condition; the soft heads hud Ailed up, and none of the cabbages had been frozen. V; Haudlint Enftllags. Elder Evans, of Mount Lebanon, N. Y., gives the following as his method of taking corn-stalks from the field: lie uses two poles about twenty feet long, extending the wheels. The cornoialks are put across these. This is a very handy loading and unloading. "We cut up a load," he says "in about five minutes. It is carried up sixteen leet above the driving floor in the I south and north corners of the barn, which is built of stone, and is 196 feet long and 50 wide. A floor strong enough for all weights, say barrels of v ' saod, is built over the driving floor, extending from the top of one silo to the other. Here thev are entirely out of the way. We have doors into the silos on each floor. The silos are thirty-seven floors, where the cattle atand. When we open a silo, we take oft" 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 floor, through which we pass it by a tube into a box on wheels, containing enough to feed all the stock on one side of th6 stables. We use movable iron boxes to feed in. They swing in and out. Thus we take the ensilage from the whole top every day. We are now feeding ensilage twice a day to our whole herd of seventy-five head." Cow* nnd the Carry-comTV. It is probable that not one farmer tn a hundred ever thinks of usintr such a thing as the curry-comb and | brush on his cows, although those in- i struments are used regularly.in the horse stable. Yet there is just as much necessity for keeping the skin of the cow in good condition as that of the horse. No matter whether the cow is suffered to run at i^rge in the pasture all the time, or is kept in a stable or corral and fed, the process* of currying and brushing will consume but little time and the farmer will be amply repaid for his trouble, both in I the better appearance and increased yield given by the cows for their good treatment. That a currying is necess ary for the health and is grateful to the animals may be seen by the habit which cows have of "brushing" each other for a half-hour at a time with the spiny surface of their tongue*. The evident- signs of satisfaction which they give when undergoing this jjrocens should furnish a hiut to the observant farmer which needs but littlft tronhlft tn n/?fc T-rl ? ???**? -?w i?vw 0VU1O parts of Europe where cows are kept in the barn nearly all the time, their coats are as carefully combed and attended to as is the hair of a child's head, and it is regarded as a matter of necessity. No doubt /this sugges tionmay be laughed at by many who are accustomed to let both horses and cows go almost uncared for from one year's end to another; but the fact nevertheless remains that keeping a cow's skin in good order and cleanly sMv/r . is'of as much importance to her well being as keeping her well supplie( with nutritious food.?Live Stoc) Monthly. Green Food Snpply. While summer lasts it is not a verj difficult matter to keep up a good sup ply of green food of different kind: for the poultry, even when they ar< confined to comparatively small yards; but when Jack Frost asserts his sway withering and browning the vegetu tlon of all kinds witlnn his reach, the eutsido supply of "greens" is suddenly cut short, and unless provisions have been made in anticipation of this, the poultry will be deprived of one greal essential to success. Those who have enough land for a good sized garder can generally lind room to groT* enough green food for the winter sup ply of their birds, and poultry brsed ers who have large numbers of bird? and plenty .of land make it a point tc grow a lot of green food especially foi their fowls. The easiest vegetable to grow for this purpose, and one which is also the best on account of its excellent keeping qualities, is cabbage. Those who grow cabbage for home use in good quantities, or who grow it for market purposes, need not grow it especiallyfur the poultry, for there are generally enough loose, spongy heads and waste leaves to give quite a large flock of fowls a generous and regular supply. Where there is not room enough on . the place to grow the necessary winter greens, a good supply,say one hundred or more heads, of cabbage should be bought when the farmers and market gardeners are selling it off briskly in the fall.at which time it can be bouorht much cheaper than during the winter. In buying it, have it delivered with (he roots on, just as it is pulled from the ground. Now take some good sand and put it in a dark part of the cellar, in which plant the cabbage de-jply, up to the head, packing the cabbage as closely together as possible, and drawins: the leaves up nicelv around it. In this way cabbage can be kept fresh aud good until spring, while it can always bo readly gotten when needed. It can be kept nicely packed in the ground (though inverted) out in the garden or near by the house, and well covered with soil to protect it from the frost, but it is frequently anything but a "labor of love" to get at it after a heavy freeze. Turnips, turnip tops, beets, onions, etc., are also used for the poultry during the winter, but cannot compare with cabbage for cheapness and haniliness. It is time now to be planning to procure a winter supply of green stuff for poultry.?American Poultry Yard. I " Household Hints. It rests you in sewing to change your position frequently. Well-veniilated bedrooms will provent morning headache and lassitude. When eggs are scarce, remember one tablespoon of corn-starch will take the place of an egg in anything you cook. A little borax put in the water in which scarlet napkins and red-bordered towels are to b& washed will prevent fading. Lay the green peel of cucumbers where the cockroaches will get at it. They will eat greedily of the poisonous juice and die. ?? Koolpes. jjeejr isoup.?rake a shank, of beef with plenty of meat upon it, put over in cold water, and boil five or six hours, the day before using. The next day skim off the grease, put the jelly in soup kettle and one hour before serving add turnips, carrots, onions, cabbage and potatoes chopped fine in quantity desired; a few tomatoes and a little celery improves it Season with salt and pepper, and drop in a few noodles. Three tablespoonsful ot rice may be added with the vegetables. Codfish Balls.?Cut the lish in small pieces and put it to soak in lukewarm water over night. In the morning boil it twenty minutes; then change the water, pouring on boiling water and boil fifteen minutes longer. When cold, pick the fish to pieces; removing all bones ana skid. Uhop very fine, adding as much cold mashed potatoes as tlsb, a piece of butter and a beaten egg, and sweet milk enough to moisten. Mould into small balls, and fey a nice brown in hot lard or drippings. Apple Indian Pudding.?Into one quart, of boiling milk stir a cup ol corn meal. Into this atir a quart ol sliced sweet apples. Add a cup ol molasses and a teaspoonfui of salt Mix all together well. When ready k put into the oven, add tw6 quarts ol milk. Pour ijatp a large, butterec pudding dish or p*?, and bake slowlj r*our hours. When cold, a clear amber colored jelly, will be fortued through out the pudding; the applee will be o a dark, rich brown; altpgether a *nos delicious dish. -Vv-H ,' V &" 'IsSlp ?? I., ???
