cABBAGEs FOR CATTLE.
Extract of a letter.

Having been in England, / have had
40 opportunity of observing many i'm
prOvements in agriculture, which, il
we're to see them adopted here, would
give me the sincerest pleasure. Among
the number OF them, think the culture of
cabbages for the fattening Of cattle stands
in the first rank. From strong soils, it
may fairly be questioned whether any
kind Of winter provisions can be raised Of
such weight and quality per acre, as the
larger kind of cabbages. For cows they
snrpass ali other kinds Of vegetables, and
probably some method may be thought Of,
by which they may be conveniently pre-
served through our long winters. The
colewort cabbage used to be in most es-
TEEN, but understand that variety of
the large red kind is coming into use, aud
bids fair TO drive out the Scotch drum.
head, it being much more hardy. They
are exceedingly we'll adapted to wet land,
and will prove very productive where
turnips cannot be raised to any good pur-
pose. 1t is, unquestionably, crop OF far
more use and value than the maugle war

few years, been in such fashionable cul
ture.

TO PRESERVE HAMS.

A gentleman has communicated to us
the following recipe for preserving hams,
which, from experience, he says, he can
assure us in inialIible. And from the grea,
difficulty which has heretofore attended
keeping smoaked meat through the warm
season, We hope our readers will generally
adopt this method, and test its utility by
an experiment.
Take tight dry barrel early in the
season, put into it half a basket of char
coal-place your hams or lockers upon il
at such distance from the side as will
admit quantity Of charcoal to be crowded
between The flesh and the barrel. Cover il
very we'll with charcoal, and press it down
close. No insect can penetrate this ineIo-
sure, and the hams may be taken aut dur
ing The summer, or late in the autumn, as
perfect as when put up.-Prop. Gas.
