Preserving Cabbagcs.

Tho following mode of putting up cab
bages for winter and spring use Is endorsed
as good one by those who have tried it :
"Cabbagcs arc preserved very simply !;
they arc left out rs late as they can be
pulled up by the roots, in this section, about
the end of November; they arc then pulled
up and turned upside down, the roots up
and the heads packed close together, in
beds six feet wide, with six feet alleys be-
tween, care being taken to have the ground
levcllod where the cabbages are placed, 50
that they pack nicely. They arc LETT in this
way two or three weeks, or as long as the
ground can be dug between the alleys, the
soil from which is thrown in on the beds
of cabbage, SO that, when finished, they
have q covering of four or six inches of soil.
This is not enough to cover the root, how
ever, which is left partly exposed, but this
is in no way injurious. Some prefer to coy
er them up at once by blowing furrow,
shoveling it out wide enough to receive the
heads of the cabbages, and then turning the
soil in on the heads, and so continuing until
beds of six or eight feet ore thus formed
This plan is rather moro expeditions than
the former, but it has the disadvantage OF
compelling them to be covered up at onco
by soil, while the other plan delays it two
or three weeks later, and it is of tho utmost
importance in preserving vegetables that the
operation particularly the final covcring)
be delayed as late in the season as frost will
permit. Generally more are lost by begin
ming too soon than delaying too late
Onions, we find, are best preserved in barn
or stable loft, in layers from eight to ten
inches deep, covered up with about foot
of hay or straw on the approach of severe
frosts. The great points to be attained arc
low temperature and q dry atmosphere;
they will bear twenty degrees of frost with
out injury, provided they arc not moved
while frozen, but they will not stand re-
duction of temperature much lower than
this without injury"

mondo--the worse than densi-n0ndc-of tho
French capital The short dresses, all the
latest and most extraordinary novelties of
street and drawing-room costume, were
originated by one or conclave of the Pa
risian lorcttes"
But all this, according to the Times, sis
pure nonsense The French fashions have
no such origin, though it is very common
for men who know nothing about the sub
ject to say they have. 1t would be as Well
and as wise to say that the fashions and the
novelties in male costume are invented by
blacklegs. The fact is that the French
fashions which the Americans and oil the
world copy after, arc the inventions of pro-
fcssional artiStes in Paris, and especially in
Berlin-drtiStCS who, as such, have nothing
whatever to do with the dcmi-m0nde, and
who do not even, as a rule, get their styles
adopted through that quarter. By far the
greater part of the novelties in ladies' dress
really have their origin in Berlin with the
skillful, ingenious and fertile artiStes of the
Bazaar. The Partisan governors of style
take up some OF these, and by the facilities
which they possess, establish them through
out the civilized world. The de1i.monde
doubtless adopt them as we'll as the hout-
monde, but it is more to the patronage of the
latter than the former that their universal
currency is due.

During our VISIT to the East we were
asked to look at some fattening hogs in the
sty of DR.. Caleb Plaistridgc, of Lebanon,
N. III. They were very fine ones, but not as
good wcwerc told rs the doctor usually raises.
His system is this For twenty years past he
has planted onc-fourth acre of sweet corn,
and killed three hogs. The hogs have o
good, large, airy sty, with feeding trough so
arranged that they cannot interfere with
each other at feeding time, and free access
to large, dry yard, through which runs
spring of clear water. When his sweet
corn is large enough to roast, he commences
feeding it, stalk and all, in the yard, giving
them all the swill they will cat. This he
continues until they refuse to cat the stalks,
after which the balance of the corn is fed in
the car, and the fattcning process finished
with coru meal. During the whole twenty
years he has failed but twice ofkilling hogs
of over five hundred pounds weight each,
and he gives credit for most of the weight
70 the sweet corn. He says properly fed it
adds at least two hundred pounds to each
of his hogs. Until the frost kills it, they
will cat the sweet corn, stalks and ALL

The Position OF Gen. Grant.

The speech of Congressman Washburnc at
Galcna, ILL.,, in which lie defines Grants po-
litical status as in entire accord with the
Republican party, deserves attention, mas
much as Mr.. Washburnc is an old personal
intimate friend with Gen. Grant. Mr.. Wash.
burnc states that Gen. Grant was an old
Wing. His father, SO well known in Galcna
was always an active and influential member
OF the Wing party, and after it went out OF
existence, of the Republican party. Tho
General was always Whig, so far as he was
a politician at all, and never belonged to or
had any sympathy with the Democratic
party.
Gen. Grant was openly and strongly for
both Constitutional amendments, and hailed
the reconstruction act of the Thirty ninth
Congress as solution of our difficulties,
and he entered upon the discharge of his
duties under that act with zeal, vigilance
and fidelity. Sympathizing with Congress
in its action, and apprcciating the import
ancc of its being in session, he urged and
advised such action as would secure an extra
session, if necessary. When that session
came he expressed the most serious fears OF
the effect Of long adjournment, and, with
far reaching sagacity, anticipating the pre-
clsc state of things that has occurred, he
used all his influence with Senators to have
them adopt the House provision of the
amended bill, requiring the assent Of the
Senate to removal of the District Com.
mandcrs. Favoring the reconstruction acts
no effort of his has been wanting to secure
their enforcement in letter and spirit, to the
end that the Union might be speedily and
fully misunderstanding Telegraph.

~ THoUGHT THEY HAD STOPPED YOUR

"Mark Twain" Of gallant naval officer
Twenty or thirty years ago, when mission
ary enterprise was in its infancy among the
islands of the South Seas, Captain Summers
anchored his sloop- ofwar off one OF the
Marquesas, think it was. The next morn
ing he saw an American flag on the beach,
Union down. This excited him fearfully,
of course, and he sent off q boat at once to
inquire into the matter. Presently the boat
returned, and brought grave-looking mis-
sionary. The Captains anxiety ran high.
He said:
"What's the trouble out there 2-quick !!

missionary, "that the natives have been in,

"No! Blast their yallcr hides, rll-vhat

"Interrupting your-your-h-ll! Mar

The astonishcd clergyman fastened t.
protest against such excessively rigorous
measures, and finally succeeded in making
the old tar understand that the natives hao

Yonr race is almost run, John,
Few pardOns moro you'll sign,
Your name will be byword, John,
Through all the rest Of time.
Oh Andy John, my 10 John,
You might have left name,
That you might we'll be proud Of, John,
And stood high up in fame.
But it is now too late, John,
The people you've betrayed,
In spite of J-y B--k,
They will leave you in the shade.
oh! ! Andy John, my Jo John,
PRAY what has Stanton done,
That you should persccuto him, John
There is none beneath the sun
More faithful TO his country, John,
Or labored for the right
To put this great rebellion down,
Hes worked both day and night.
Oh Andy John, my 10 John,
Is Sheridan to blame,
For turning all those rebels out,
And earning bright name!
The people will support him, John,
While you before tho world

Their shafts against you hurled.
Oh Andy John, my 10 John,

Hear what they have to say.
The fortieth Congress soon will meet,
Wen trust it in their hands;
Be ready for Salt River, John,
And start for foreign lands.
Oh Andy John, my Jo John,

We must render our accounts, John,

The talents we've abused, John,

Autumn Flowing.

In all heavy clay soils, and heavy clay
loans, autumn plowing is of great advan-
tage. The winter frost is mechanical pull
verizer, and disintegrater OF such soils, If VIC
will but put them in the proper condition
to be acted upon. Potash is one of the ole-
ments of such soils, and what gives them
one of the chief values for the small grain.
This mineral is found under two conditions
one fixed, and the other free. Tho free
potash is slowly dissolved in water; it thus
unitcs with sand to burn the coating of the
straw. Chemists call this solution grass, it
being composed ot the element OF grass,
silicatc ofpotash.
In the other condition mentioned, it is
fixed and IN that condition is insolublo in
water, and, like the humu5, unfit for tho
food of plants.
To prepare the fixed potash in the soil,
| that is, to disintrcgrato it, VIC must expose
| it to air, moisture and heat, hence we must
pulverize the soil by the winter frost, to
admit of these conditions Prairie Farmer.
STORING Roof CRors.-Heavy frosts of
ten come the last of this month, and it is
quite important that sugar beots and man
gels should be housed before the crowns
are frozen. Carrots and turnips are not
damaged by light freezing, and often grow
through the month of November in this
latitude, and the only risk in leaving them
out is in the sudden setting in of winter.
The earlier potatoes arc put in dark cellar
after they get their growth the better
They should be stored in small bins where
they can be examined easily for the first in
dications of rot. The tops of turnips, bects,
and carrots, make excellent feed for cows,
and if the pastures fail they will be found
o welcome addition to their bill OF fare.
They will pay for carting as one cannot
turn the cows into the field where they arc
grown. -, practice of feeding roots in
the winter is steadily gaining in all the
Eastern States-American Agricu!turiSt.
