10 Head Cabhages in Winter.

"Iiead him or die" was the vow of a
politician; we forget which he did; but for us
farmers the cabbages might asswell die as
forget to head. A plan that never fails to
cause a cabbage, that has the least curl in
the inner leaves, to head during the winter;
land a very good way to keep headed cab
bagc through thescold winter, is the follow
ing, which we ours elves have tried with
success.
Select a suitable spot in a garden or field
six feet IN width OF any devised length, fee
from standing water; run a flrrow the pro
posed length Of your bed and throw a back
furrow upon it. This double furrow will
form a side aOaH of your cabbage house. In
tie trench stand your cabbages on their
roots leaning towards the furrow at an angle
of 40 to DO degrees. Let the next furrow be
thrown upon the roots and stalks Of the cab
bages, and another row be placed in the
trench made by the second furrow thus
proceed until your six feet of width is plan
led, then let the last furrow be a double
one,-making the other side-wall about the
height of the cabbage-head. Through the
whole length Of the middle of the patch lay
rails lengthwise, supported by crutches, at d
height OF about two feet from the cabbages.
this will form the ridge Of the cabbage
house. Lay light brush-wood from the side
walls to the ridge pole, then throw on sal;
hay, or bog hay, or straw, two inches in
depth. Asthe cold weather advances throw
on dirt until you have a depth of say six or
eight inches-or even more, when the win
tcrs are severe, and finally spank the dirt
roof with tie flat Of a spade until it will shed
the rain. Fill upsthe two ends of your
house in the same manner, leaving only
small air-holes of a foot or two diameter,
which maybe closed with hay and opened
occasionally on a fair day. The length OF
the house should be on the north and south
line.
In the early spring you will find your
own: and all be thriving and fresh, Try it
once and you'll try it. ever afterwards

PERKS Or NAVIGATION

The advantages Of this contract need scarcely be
urged upon wealthy men, or merchants, for they
rarely neglect it, and if they do, fires leave them
other resources. 1t is especially valuable 10 laboring
men, mechanics and others Of moderate means
who, perhaps, have little else than a home and its
contents in the world.
These should never neglect to insure; n fire which
may visit them at any hour, would leave them
homeless, and with no capital but their labor, to be-
gin again the struggle of life, and years of toil and
watching must pass before they can regain what they
have lost, ii indeed it is never done. To such, insl-
rance ia a duty. If the individual is worth little, the
expense is less; if he owns mach property. still, tho
expense is trifing, and by investing a few dollars he

Of cider:
He sold two quarts which had Just enter

Sailing Pork.

It is important to have the pork well
cooled before sailing. And it should not
remain unsalted very long after cooling. 1t
should never be allowed TO freeze. 1t should
always have a great supply Of salt and of
tile strongest quality, and brine should be
made and poured into the barrel. For it
nothing but water is put in with the salt the
pork may be injured before the salt is melted
enough to make good brine.
The meat should have a weight upon it,
TO keep it under the brine, for if peices of
meat are permitted to rise above the brine,
t.ey will be tainted, and will not taste sweet
as well sailed meat always will. A wooden
cover is often used to keep the meat onder
the brine, but a stone cover is better, A hole
may be drilled in a stone cover, and a han
die inserted at a very small cost.
In regard to scum, we say that standing
pools of water, either salt or fresh, will have
4 SCUM on them. agitation is the remedy
which nature provides. The ocean is agita-
ted to keep it pure, and agitation, coupled
with salt, is etfectual. Ponds have impure
water-and why? Ponds of small dimen-
sions are not agitatcd enough. AS a gener-
al rule, the larger the ponds or lake, the
purer will be the water, and the more free
from scam. Running brooks have purer
water than ponds have, because in running,
the water mingles with the atmosphere, the
grand purifier Of all things,
Motion, in streams of water, brings all the
foul or riley matter in contact with other
matter on the bank that has an affinity for
it-so that a long brook may run itself pure
though it may have been affected with filthy
matter near its source. Agitation Of the
pork barrel daily, will have the effect of pre-
venting the accumulation of scum on the sur:
fsce-bu tiff this is not convenient, the white
surface may be skinned off as often as its
rises,
1t is quite important to every family to
have good salt pork. 1t is the very cheap
est meat we can procure-and for cooking
vegetables it is the best that is used. 1t
needs no butter TO enrich it-but enriches
all with which it comes in contact. Farmers
should not fail to have a supply of pork in
the cellar. That if the butcher forgets to
come, there will be something for dinner

Democratic State Convention for
3

We publish to-day. says the Statesman Of
the s9th ult., the call Of the Democratic State
Central Committee, for a Convention of De
legates Of the Democracy Of Ohio, on the 9Th
Of January next. The object Of the CONVEX
ton. as stated in the call, is the nomination
Of candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Go
vernon, Secretary Of State, T~reasurero of State
Attorney General, one candidate for Supreme
Judge, andone member of the Board of Pub.
lie Works.
AS the Offices for which nominations are
to be made are of the FIRST Importance, the
Democracy will not need to be urged to turn
out % the County Conventions for the se!cc.
ton of Delegates. No county should be
unrepresented on such an occasion. The
Democracy should all feel a deep interest in
the Convention. 1t should be attended large
ly from every township, village and hamlet
in the State. The day itself is one upon
which Democratic vows should be renewed,
its consecrated memories renewed, and its
thrilling rccollections revived, that its hal
lowing influence upon the hearts OF the old
friends and lovers of ANDREW JACKSON, may
be refreshed I'd in full yigor through each
generation. Our enemies, it is true are
PROSTATE now-but they are ~endcavoring to
arouse. form new organizations, and will
strive for the recovery of power under new
names and novel devices. Democratic Wig
lance must be cternal-when awake and ac-
tive the power is always ours. Let, then,
the ensuing campaign start right by having
Il complete representation Of the Democracy
Of Ohio on the 9Th.
