FREEZING t"Ef3E-ABLEX

The cold weather of the past month
made havoc among potatoes and other
vegetables, and the question of how to
keep vegetables from freezing is now
up. Without referring it to the I.y-
ce:lm or the Grange. we wish to give
the plan adopted by u. NJ. Shelly, who
lives north of town. Mr.. $. has Il small
cellar, unwalled, and coming within Il
foot OF two of the line of his house.
He places q key or tub Of water in the
cellar q, d when the water begins to
freeze over, he puts down a pan Of live
Goals. by this simple and inexpensive
method he has kept his fruits and vege-
tables from freezing.

ED1roR ADVANCE :: This i article:
written in the midst Of the storm
which commenced night before last,
is to call the attention; Of all tile readers
of the ADVANCE and tho rest of man
kind generally, to q call to be found
elsewhere in this paper for a Mass
Meeting to lie held for the purpose Of
devising means to prevent the preva-
lent and destructive, as ,ceu as illegal,
manner of burning our prairies. 1
give in this article my own perso, al
experience in this matter from which
any one may draw his own con-
illusions.
When, in the spring IT 1872, 4 took
possession Of my homestead, nearly tile
whole country had been burned off the
previous fall. On the whole one hum
dred and sixty acres I could scarcely
find stalk of what is known with III
as ''blue joint grass. All was of the
hump variety with a very tough and
porous mass OF roots. My first care in
breaking was to get such a strip of
breaking clean around my farm AS
would under amy ordinary circunstan-
ces prevent the IRE from running wild
over 1T. My plan, with i considera-
BILE watchfulness and care in the FALL
has proved successful. burn in the
spring late. after tie grass has we'll
started, most of it we'll into June. The
consequence is that last year my place
was nearly covered by luxuriant
growth of the blue joint grass and 1
could allow my neigIbors to cut many
tons Of it for hay, they having been
unfortunate in the previous years III
keeping the fire off. All our farmers
know the value Of the grass for horses
and cattle. But this is only one item.
Those engaged in breaking for mt ask
ed me why my land broke so much
easier than the land surrounding mine,
telling me that they coull bre * us
much Of my land per day wit! one team,
rs they could of other land with two.
l told them why Thought it was SO.
Next, | found that last winter and this,
that having 50 much grass on the place
kept the snow down to the ground.
This winter especially, l have found
myself able a number of times to see
clear to town (G miles, when could
not see anything beyond my neighbor
west Of me, because of low flying
from the burnt section to his westward.
Even in this storm ut writing, | am
able to see we'll enough to travel any
road about Inc, but would dislike
very much to undertake amy travel to
the westward of more than three
fourths of Il mile. But with what
have told I shall b. compelled to con-
tent myself though half of my reasons
are not given. Still sufficient are CIV
ell think to make \ strong case Of it,
aside from its illegali,y. Burn late in
the spring and all danger of losing your
winters supplies of hay and fodder to
say nothing of buildings, will also I've
surely avoided. Let all attend the
meeting. Il. b. p.

many are anxious to know the history
of the case. The following tells the
story briefly:
LII 1867, this company by authority of
Congress, was engaged, for the con
sideration Of half 4 million dollars per
annum to carry a monthly mail service
for Il period Of ten years, between China,
and San Francisco. Several years later
Il change was asked for and Congress
after IL lo"g fight, approved Il bill ;.ll-
thorizng another contract with the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company.
This time it was for a. semi-monthly
service to continue until 1883, with !,
yearly compensation OF !. mi lion dol
lars. In securing, this latter appro.
priation, it is charged that Irwin paid
over eight hundred thousand dollars
fer bribes, and, should it be proven
that such WAS the case, the contract
will, as justice demands. be abrogated.
