The Farmers Workshop.

No REASONABLE farmer will dispute
the importance of having a workshop
upon his premises, and especially those
who have boys to bring up. Boys will be
busy, and if opportunity is NOT given for
full employment of their time, either
with work or sport at home, they will
seek diversion abroad, which will not
usually result protitably. A farmer gives
his experience and opinion upon the mat.

pose the snow or ice is seventy degrees be-
low the freezing point what theni Why,
obviously the freezing might go on until
the entire limb was frozen masa This
is not unfrequently the case. Many peo.
pie seem TO forget that snow and ice vary
in temperature like all other substances,
and accordingly they would apply snow
or ice To frozen limb without testing the
degree of cold they contained.
Now the proper way TO proceed is this
Put the frozen part into water In which
there is a considerable portion Of ice in
small pieces. The ice will keep the tenn
perature of the water down 10 about the
requisite degree of coldness, but there will
be no danger Of the freezing going on
while the water remains uncongcaled. A
thermometer Is very convenient TO test the
temperature of the water. II one becomes

Cabbagcs and Foul Air.

MOsr ot us have noticed that MANY cab.
hlSes which appear hard and every way
sound, have, when eaten as cold slaw, an
offensive taste, This arises not from any
lmper.CClinn in the cabbage head, caused
hY rot or otherwise, but by the absorption
ot noNiouS gnscs after il has ceased 10
grow Doubtless much Of the speedy
growth ot the cabbage is due to the sub.
stances that are taken up by the leaves and
converted by them into vegetable tissue
Now tais absorption of foul air by the
leaves of The cabbage goes on amer the
plant Is taken from the ground where IL
has grown and even after the head has
been severed from the stalk but as the
plant has no longer the opportunity to
take mp moisture by means of its roots,
and Is wlthal deprived of sunlight, the
gases which in the growing plant were
converted into Il nutritious article of food
are now only mechanically held by the
leaves and are ready to give of an un
pheasant odor and taste as soon as they
are preparation food. Great care should
then be takcn to store cabhages where the
air is comparatively pure, If we would
hav' them sweet and fresh as when they
are first BROUGHT in from the garden.
