Saving Cabbage Till Spring,

We know no better way to preserve
cabbage through the winter than that
which we have recommended for n
number of years. 1t is to plant or set
them up in rows as they grow-that is
with the roots down-fill in with soil
pretty freely, then make covering by
planting two posts where there is a
fence to rest on, or four where there is
not, allowing for pitch to carry off the
water, lay bean-poles opposite the way
of the pitch and cover with cornfodder
or straw or boards. In using through
the winter avoid as much as possible the
sun side and close up again. We have
our cabbages for about twenty years this
way in a perfect state through the win
ter and into the spring, and could even
up to the first of May if desirable.-We
see other methods recommended, and
they may answer just as well, but as to
our own we speak from long expert
ence.-- ETchonge

HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
Tomatoes for Supper.


Few people know how to prepare
uncooked tomatoes in the way adopted
in my family, and incomparably better
than any mode / have ever tasted. BY
this mode they are very desirable for
supper or for breakfast. For family of
halfa dozen persons, take six eggs, boil
four of them hard, dissolve the yolk
with vinegar sufficient and about three
teaspoonfuls of mustard, and mash as
smooth as possible; then add the two
remaining eggs raw yolk and white,
stir well then add oil to make altogeth-
er sauce sufficient to cover the tomatoes
well add plenty of salt and cayenne
pepper; and beat thoroughly until IL
froths. Skin and cut the tomatoes u
full fourth of an inch thick, and pour
the sauce over, and you have dish fit
for President. Though little trouble
some to prepare, yet if once eaten by
people who are blessed with palates to
enjoy good they will be pronounced to
be far superior to any other mode of pre-
paration. We use them constantly in
this way for these meals. For dinner
they are the best stewed, but they should
always be strained before sending to

Roots and their Lenqths.

Mr.. Foot, in Massachusetts, has traced
the tap root of a common red clover
plant downward to the perpendicular
depth of nearly 5 feet. The Hon ]. Stan
ton Gould followed out the roots of In
dian corn to the depth of feet, and
states that onions sometimes extend
their roots downward to the depth of
3 feet; lucerne, 15 feet. Hon. Geo.
Geddes sent to the museum of the New
York state society clover plant that
had root feet inches in length.
Louis Walkhoff traced the roots of
beet plant downward feet, where they
entered a drain pipe. Professor Schu-
bart found the roots of rye, beans, and
garden peas to extend about feet
downward of winter wheat, Z feet in a
light subsoil, and AZ days after planting.

Farmers Brain Work.

Brain work, and that of the clearest
kind, comes into profitable play quite
as well on the farm as anywhere else.
Look ahead-get a fair view of the posi-
tion; have plowing, sowing, harvesting,
and selling, all done at the proper time ;
never hurry; but always drive work
ahead. Know in the evening what you
intend to do next day. Have your
rainy day and your clear day work
designed beforehand. Always bring
into requisition the full means for COM
passing the desired end. In short, study
and understand your business, and you
will enjoy it and thrive on it.

A Post-Hole Digger.

Among the new inventions designed
to tighten the labor of digging post
holes, is double, round pointed shovel
or spade, the two parts being connected
like the two blades of pair of shears or
pinchers. The instrument is plunged
into the soil the lengths of the blades
some ten or twelve inches, and after
COMPRISING the earth by the leverage
afforded through the jointed handles,
the contents are lifted and dropped on
the surface. Three or four plunges and
Withdrawals of the instrument will clear
a six or eight-inch hole two or two and
a half feet deep, all ready to receive the
post, and the solid bank will hold the
post much more firmly with a slight
tamping, than if a larger hole were
filled with loose earth. In free soil a
hole may be dug for an ordinary fence
post in from one to two minutes.-N. e.

What official or officials have
drawn the most cash or orders from
the state, school, county or town
treasury during the past fifteen
years?
My impression is some parties
lived entirely off the county, town
and school taxes, holding two or
more Offices at the same time for
fifteen years and tried to get out
bonds in 1852 to take up their own
orders !
Is it true that there are $4,000
more county orders now afoat than
last year at this time.
Did the board pay recently to

1t Is however proper to remark
by way of fexplanation that the $780,.
900 of bonds issued for railroad aid
are in litigation, and that the coun-
ty's attorneys confidently expect to
secure a decree tor their recovery.
But, as long as they are out
standing they must be reported as a
debt against the county. No in
terest has ever been paid upon them.
1t is apparent that the situation OF
the county with reference to the
bonds is quite serious, for as long
as they are out, no matter how
wrongtully issued, they are counted
as debt upon the property, and
discourage all investments and i'm
provenents. "What is the amount
of your debt?" is one of the first
questions an intending investor
asks. He may be informed that
there are 80 many bonds out, but
that they were Illegally issued. and
will be recovered. His only reply
is shake of the head, and he goes
off and invests his money in some
other locality.
The matter of this bonded debt
should receive the very serious at
tention of our wisest men, both
here and abroad. They should
without delay, give the case a full
investigation, and then decide upon
one of three things, viz. to push
vigorously the suit already pending,
compromise the matter with the
holders of the bonds, or drop the
entire business and let the bond
holders take tho animal for the
damage.

The Northern Pacific Railroad Man.
agement.

The Philadelphia Commonw ealtb
of recent date ably and appropri-
ately refers to the management of
the Northern Pacific railroad in
terms that must be highly gratifying
to the officers of the road and re-
assuring In the extreme to its thou
sands of stockholders. 1t says:
"Every man on the pay roll was
as sure of his money as he was OF
the arrival of pay day. He knew
there was no inside rings stealing
the honest earnings of the line and
making it necessary to reduce his
wages in order to increase some
body else's plunder. 1t owes moth
ing, but some important advances
from the private pockets of its own
stockholders. In this respect 1t is
probably in the most remarkable
condition of any road in America.
No bonds! No debt. No rings! No
thieves!
MIR. Wright, the new president,
went the right way to work. He
Topped off every penny of unneces-
sary expense. He contracted the
business of the company into few
apartments of the large building un-
der lease in New York, and rented
the rest. He sold the luxurious
furniture which could not be used,
dismissed the French caterer, and
taught gentlemen to bring lunch
wrapped up in little brown paper.
The fine directors ear, which had
been used for magnificent official
tours, was disposed of to the high
est bidder, and when he goes over
the road, he rides in a box car or
takes seat in a passenger train
just where he can get it, like any
body else. Although his duties in
volve a vigilant superin .endence
oyer nearly 600 miles of road in op-
Grafton, and some in construction.
he draws the modest salary of So
900 per annum. The secretary and
treasurer draw $4,000 each, and the
chief engineer is supposed to shoot
grouse for a living. This gentle
man-the gallent Gen. Rosser, of
Virginia-is entitled to an individ-
ual subsidy from the Federal Treasu-
ry, for he has done more stand-up
Indian fighting ON his own account,
and done it better, than any batal-
ion in the army.
The result of all this shows that
honesty in railway management is,
as In everything else, the best OF
policy, paradoxical as the thing
may seem to the splurging officials
of roads nearer home. The North
ern Pacific, which a few short
months ago was considered hope
less wreck, is a prosperous and
growing concern.

A CORRESPONDENT of the West
ern Rural. writing from Blue Earth
Co., MINI says: 81 want to tell
you what two boys did here by be-
ing honest and industrious. Two
years ago Andrew and Eddie Nc
Cormick bought 16O acres of land
in Dodge comfy. 1t was all broke
except ten or twelve acres. They
were TO pay So, 400 in three years at
twelve per cent. interest. The first
year they had a light crop, but
enough to make their first payment.
This year they raised three thou
sand two hundred $4,000 bushels
No: l wheat, nine hundred (9OO)
bushels of oats; five hundred $500
bushels Of corn, besides a years
supply of potatoes and a good gar
den. They did most of the work
themselves. They ran a threshing
machine last Fall, and this Fall. So
much for industry. There is no
use OF beiug tramp when the free,
virgin soil of Minnesota will return
thirty and forty fold.

one or two severe terms of short
duration. Altogether gloomy and
not healthy. SlriEg very wet up
to the middle of June; summer in
tensely hot and oppressive. The
winter will be favoraple to the in
crease of throat-diseases aud fevers;
also cattle diseases. / agree with
Prof. Mansell in anticipating the
approach of Asiatic cholera towards
northern latitudes.
The autumn prognostication have
been pretty accurately fulfilled, and
the following letter of his to the
Montreal Witness, dated Nov. l6,
may be read with interest:
The present balmy weather will
abruptly terminate towards or in
proximity to the 25th of the present
month, and probably give place to a
sharp spell of weather, with sleet
and snow. I shall not be surprised
should the waters become pretty
well ice locked-as in 1874, in the
latter part of November or the early
part of Dec ember. This condition,
however, will be of short duration,
and will speedily give place again
to rains and open weather during
December and January. Conse-
quently should the waters escape
the first pinch of winter, navigation
will probably be open to an unusual
ly late date. To all intents and pur-
poses, however, our winter of le77-s
will be upon us towards the last
week of the present month; but this,
as | have already several times
stated bids fair to be gloomy, wet,
and open as well as Short Chicago
