WMTERING CABBAGE.

Goblet and Fessenden-thc editors
of the old New England Fdrmer-and
Bridgeman and Schenckc, poetical and
practical old gardeners all Of them who
wrote from 1921 up to 1851, give direc-
tons of great minuteness wintering
cabbagcs in their works, but later au-
thors say but little about it. Still, it is
iust as important now to know how to
winter them as it was thirty years ago
And this way is by means of the pit, OF
cold frame or trench. Make a frame OF
boards, like hot-bcd frame, banking
M earth ON the outside, having it six
feet wide, and of any length necessary,
and into this transplant the cabbages
about the last of October, in our North
crn New England climate. Cover this
with boards, and over the whole pack
straw or leaves, keeping it in place by
means of strips Of jOists, or stalks. An
other method is to open trench a foot
deep and foot wide, into which place
the cabbage, heads downward. and
cover the earth well over them. Over
this earth heap leaves, litter, or straw
and from both positions the cabbage
may be removed during the early win
ter, us wanted for use, or they can bt
KEEP. in either position until April OF
May, when they may be had for spring
use. Cabbage thus kept will winter
firm and solid, be of good flavor, ant
when taken out will be in good cOndi
ton for cooking, by first placing then
in cold water for an hour or two before
cooking.-Ner England Farmer.

The next years crop ofhogo, Gays the
Drocers' Journal, viii be even greater
than the number marketed this year,
there IL little If any doubt, when care
full view of the situation is taken. The
western country is being fairly flooded
with thrifty, hardy emigrants,who are
engaged in stock-raising rs . means OF
making living, and feeding stock Of all
kinds find pleanty Of ready takers, good
prices. The corn crop win be an aboun-
dant one, though in many sections the
yield will not be more than two-thirds
Of the average yet those who fed only
Q few hogs last year and marketed q
goodly share Of the corn crop, will, in
al probability. send their entire corn
yield to market in the shape of good or
poor pork, as the case may be. The
prices for hogs during the current year
have been highly remunerative, while
the prices paid for corn have been small.
Shoats, and kinds Of hogs, in fact, have
been scarce for some time past, and re.
ports from many sections have been to
the effect that young hogs, old hogs
lean hogs, and all kinds Of hogs, were
not to be had, The reason the fat, mar
ketable hogs have been scarce, is because
the high prices have kept them travel
lug marketward constantly, and, I'M
like former summers, they have beer
hustled of to sale as fast, and in many
cases faster, than they could be made
ready for the butcher or the packer. Il
Is pretty much so in the case of shoat'
and feeding hogs. They arc scarce be
cause every body wants them, and tn
demand is greater in proportion thar
the supply. Last summer, and during
the carly winter, the supplies Of hog
throughout the country were not short
because there was only a very moder
ate demand for them. True, the hcav!
summers work being done now, in tn
way of packing hogs, is doubtless break
ing into the winter seasons supply u
come extent, but the chief reason VIII.
hogs are scarce ut present is the fac
that the demand for them has seldom
been greater than now. Farmers ar
taking good car of the pigs, and tn
sections suffering form disease are few

there has been more or less demand for

From several years. trial IN varions
parts of the cuontry, there seems TO De
no doubt that good sugar syrup can be
made from the Amber cane ~ profit
in al of the Western States. In order
70 obtain great success and realize
large profites, substantial mills should
he erected and furnishde with Ill Of the
necessary machinery and appliances,
and managed by sEillfui and expert
euced sugar makers. A sugar-mill, like
creamery, should be established in
neiqhborhood where large number OF
farmers propose to raise cane. The
cane can be sold to the mill or worked
mo for the owner. The old plan Of cheap
mills with few conveniences, owned
and run by every farmer who mas 2
| few acres OF cane, will generally result
| in Disappointment. Capital, knowledge
and skill are as essential in sugar max
| ing as in q woylen factory. Thousands
| Of farmers in every Western State
could raise few acres each OF cane,
and il good mills, manage BY expert
enccd men, were within reach q large
profit could be realized on the new crop.
Every encouragement possible should
be given to the production Of pure
suoar and syrup from cane. We are
mat entering upon q period of sugar
I.du,tcrat;on that ia alarming. Syrup
has tor many wears been adulterated
with the most villainous of unhealthy
compounds, SO that most well-informed
persons have ceased to buy syrup, pre-
ferriug to make il from good sugar, rs
the ONLY safety against poisonous adul-
tcration. But there is no longer any
safety iu this method. The glucose
fraud has grown up like q mushroom.
Cbeap corn has made it a wonderfully
profitable article TO use in adulterating
sugar. rud the adulteration is invading
every Grade of sweetening, honey, syr.
nm. and nearly all kinds Of candy and su-
gar. DR.. Kedzae, of the Michigan State
hoard of Health. has been investigating
the subject of the adulteration of sugar
with glucose. He saws the practice il
largely on the increase. Fifty cents
worth of corn will produce five dollars
worth of glucose at present prices. He
thinks that il pure glucose was used
the fleets would not be injurious, and
it's use would be simply fraud. But purt
glucose is not used as an adultcrant
i As manufactured, it is unhcalthful. and

WASHINGTON
An Aleohoiic Discussion

Washington, April 2--The hearing OF
dtstillers and rectifers before The committee
on ways aud means was concluded
to-day.
Adolph Woolner, q des,iller Of Peoria,
opposed the Carlisle bill, which oug hi to be-
entitled "A bill to disturb internal avenue,
to give dis',l'ers and curers of whtskies q
bonus Of 1874 per cent to tax an additional
'nducement 10 defraud the government of
another 1871 per cent. Of the tax"
He argued that under the present law the
revenue from whisky was very closely col.
'ec'ed, and trade was prosperous. aud ths,
under the pr"pnsed hill dls,illers who had
three vesrs in which to pay the TAX. would
pay tax of 20 cents per gal"n less than the
man who paid the tax Immediately, and
that this principle Was contrary to all the
rules of trade. The rpsul, Of the bill would
ne 10 abandon the system OF cash down
TAX payers. Great danger would be in the
temptation To commit fraud The trade
needed nO relief, and the best thing 10 he
lone was to let we'll enough atone These
views were reinforced by w. X. Bush, OF
Peoria and T. Il. McNaiLara of CINCINNATI
The bill was advocated by Thomas N
Louisville, and Henry Harris, of Ph,ladel.
nhla. Tue latter ssid he had los, $3.50 OOO
ten years ago in consequence of the uuex
pected change in the law of 1869.

Tho Railroad War.

Chicago, April 2.-seme of the bond.
holders In the Chicago and Pacific railroad
are not included in the syndicate which pro-
poses to lease the road to the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul company. They applied
in the United States court, this morning, to
Judge Blodget for an injunction to restrain
the syndicate from voting for the lease on
bonds, claiming that they would be prejudi-
Gated in their interests by such lease and
transfer. Judge Blodgelt reiu.ed to grant
the injunction, but said he would hear the
arguments, after the lease shall have been
consummated, as to what disposition shall
be made of the money to be paid by the
lessee. The meeting Of the syndicate is now
progressing, and the lease will doubtless be
confirmed.
