Iy deposit vegetables ~ ttse7uofs.. ~. ''-"s-t,
one OF which, we are sorry To say, is too COM
mon is 70 take them up without much care,
and with what earth happens TO oe aunsFiug 70
tbem and to throw them into a pile III one cor
usr or other part OF the cellar where they re-
main till wanted for family use. We here al
lUde 10 such vegetables as beets, cafro's, pars-
nips, turnips; &c. If the cellar happehs u D.
damn MANY of them decay or lose their flavor;
If II chances TO be a dry one, portion of them
become shriyelIed and too dry for use. The
heaps are oyerhauled repeatedly to find Such
a. are good enough for the table, and those con-
fused and scattered heaps present anything
but n tidy appearance, while the decaying ones
produce an unhealthy air.
We have adopted another way, WRich we
like mpch better. A few bushels of fine clean
moss is obtained from dense woods or from
swamps. Clean barrels or smoot IN planed boxes
are taken TO the garden, "a dry Day selected ior
the OCCASION and the vegetables being taken
up, well cleaned, topped, and trimmed, are
piaced in the barrels or boxes, with alternating
iayers of the soft, damn moss When filled,
the handcart or wheelbarrow cony eys them 10
the cellar. The moss keeps them clean and
sufficiently moist, preventing the accumHla-
ton of water on.the one hand, and the drying
and shriyeIlDg CT the roots on the other They
are ALWAYS fresh and ready for use, and are
taken ont from under the moss without the
least difficulty. As the barrel is succsssivey
emptied, portion OF the moss is taken off and
pIacrd in another one for future use
There are very few places where good moss
cannot be obtained from the woods, within a
reasonable distance; butt beyond reach, clean,
moist sand may be substituted for the purpose
of retaining the moisture. Its, however, heav-
ieT and more difficult TO handle, and the yege-
tables do not come from it so clean and fresh as
tIom the moss.-COu ntry Gentleman.
