FARM AND HOME.
Scotch Method Of Wintering Roots.

CcCtcn MetHou Vi TH'teilHG NCOtS'
Mr.. Crosier practices with great sue
cess the Scotch method Of preserving
root crops in winter, which he thus
describes A dry spot being selected,
where no water will stand in winter, a
space is marked out six feet in width,
and of any length required; this bed is
excavated ten to twelve inches deep, and
the soil is thrown out on the bank. The
roots, either mangels, turnips, carrots, or
potatoes, are built up evenly to sharp
point about five or six feet in height, SO
that the roots form almost an equal sided
triangle, six feet on the sides. This bed
of roots is then matched over with four
inches of straw, after which the earth is
banked over the whole, about one foot in
thickness. This covering Of earth and
straw is sufficient to keep out any degree
of frost that we have in this latitude
though we rarely have it much below
zero, in colder or warmer sections. Judg-
ment must be used to increase or lessen
the covering. Vents, or chimneys, made
by three inch drain pipe, or anything of
similar size, are placed every six or eight
feet along the top of the pit, resting on
she roots, 80 that the moisture generated
may escape. In extreme cold weather,
these vents, or chimneys, should be closed
up, as the cold might be severe enough to
get down to the roots. Pits, so con-
structed, rarely fail to preserve roots
perfectly, until late in spring, and are in
every respect preferable to root cellars.
For no matter how cold the weather may
be, they are easily got at; the end once
opened, the soil forms a frozen arch over
the pit. Mr.. Crozier says he has
practiced this plan for years on his farm
at Northport, L. l., some of bis pits
containing hundreds Of tons Of mangels,
etc,

American Exhibits AT Paris.

by Cable 10 the Associated Press)
The display of scales by Fairbanks & Co.,
New York, is very grand, and creditable to
the exhibitors, showing the advancement
made by them over those of any other
American or foreign manufacturers, and re-.
fleets great credit on American workmanship.
The exhibit surpasses all others in merit at
the Paris Worlds Fair.
Mason & Hamlin, who took the first medal
for their cabinet organs at the Exposition in
1867, and have won the highest nonors at
every worlds exhibition since, are here in
competition with a fine lot of organs. Several
other American makers exhibit, but few if
any of them will venture to compete.

STEAMER BURNED. - While the
steamer Union was coming down
through the north arm of the Fraser
River, on her way TO Bnrrard Inlet
with some ten tons of hay and six or
seven passengers, spark set the hay
on fire. The captain stopped her and
attempted to extinguish the flames by
the use of buckets, but to no avail He
then attempted to beach the Union,
but on returning to the pilot-house he
found that the tiller ropes had been
burned in two, aud the burning boat
foated down the stream at the mercy
OF the wind. which blew the flames for
ward, making it terrible hot for the
passengers, among whom there were
one or two ladies. In going aft to get
the small boat which they had been
towing they found the roap severed by
the flames, and could see the skiff three
or four hundred yards in the rear of the
steamer. Captain Stoker hung the
anchor over the side of the steamer on
which the passengers fastened to save
themselves from suffocatIon. One brave
fellow named Scott jumped overheard,
and being an excellent swimmer, sue
ceeded in soon reaching the small boat,
which he brought to the rescue Of the
passengers, who would have otherwise
undoubtedly either rerished in the
flames or found watery grave. The
steamer was total loss. This occurred
last Tuesday.

GUS oil boxes and other iron work for
the same. These new wheels are diff.

stead of being hollow they are cast

made from Oregon iron from the Oswe-

chilled by pouring the hot metal against

RETURNED. Mr.. l.. p. Smith. of this

and came up by way of Portland, reit-
crates the old story of hard times in
California, aud states that there are ut
least ten thousand business houses and
residences in tine city of San Francisco
without occupants. He also mentions
that very large stream of immigra
ton is pouring in up this way. On the
steamship Oregon, instead of two hun
dred passengers as published. there
were just six hundred and seven, and
thinks that the Great Republic must
had not less than one thousand or
twelve hundred. A portion of these,
of course, find their way to the Sound,
forty odd having arrived in this city by
the Zephyr, Saturday evening.
