There are a few general rules which
should be well understood, and which If
understandingly applied will enable
those who raise their own vegetables !,
ito keep them IN good condition in near :
ly all instances, much longer than is
often done. These rules are
l. To keep them cool without frs e.
ing, and without altering changer, of
temperature. -,..s-...
2. If they dry up and shrivel GAS beets
and parsnlps), apply by external means
a certain amount Of moisture.
3. Ifthsy do not shrivel but ret (as
potatoes. and squashes), let the air
which surrounds them be dry AMI cool.
These rules may be easily and readily
applied in various cases. Potatoes, for
examples, dry very slowly, but are lia-
BILE to rot, and they may therefore be
subjected to moderate currents Of air, in
q ceol place. Light should be kept out
to prevent their becoming green and
bitter. Ifrot attacks them, It may be
checked by repeatedly dashing on cold
water, which makes them clean and by
evaporation cools them. If on 4 lattice
bottom, both drainage and the admis.
sion of air will be effected.
Turnips, beets and parsnips, unlike
potatoes, dry up soon if exposed to air.
When intended for kitchen use, and no,
for stock, they may be packed in fine
moss OF damp sawdust, which will keeI
them in good condition for many
months. If sawdust Is used, it shoulf
be in moderate sized boxes, to proven
heating. H G
j. Pumpkins and squashes may be KEEP
long time in dry chat, with temp er
allure as cold as practicable without &C
tual freezing. If the mass Of chaff
thick, they will not freeze in barn.

many, who cannot eat pork as ordi-

PORTABLE Foop FOR HoRsEs.-,

PORTABLE FooD FOR HoRsEs.-The
Journal de Saint Petersburg furnished
the following details regarding the pre-
served food for horses, prepared in the
event Of a scarcity Of oats, or in case
the transport offood as used at present
should prove too difficult. This food is
composed of pounded oats and gray
pest -four. mixed with hemp seed oil and
salt. The paste obtained by this mix
ture is then cut up into thick cakes oil
about four. inches in diameter, pierced
with small holes to assist the soaking
in water. On being taken from the
oven these cakes are strung upon wires
so that each wire holds tho daily RI
tons for a horseback ration of the
weight Of four pounds is equal In nutri-
ment to ten pounds of oats. It is stat
ed that the herses are extremely fond
of these cakes, whether seakedi in water
or quite dry; and although when fed
exclusively on these cakes they become
thinner in appearance they do not loose
any Of their strength, though hard
worked.
