Sweet potatoes require q tempera-

The place of storage should also be dry.
When a large quantity is to be kept over,

specially prepared, or an upper loft in
some building may be provided with
lath bins, and furnished with a stove so

sufficiently warm.
Snow Craem.-Beat the whites of
five eggs to a stiff froth, add two large
spoonfuls of fine white sugar, a large
spoonful of rose water, or pine apple.
Beat the whole well together and add
pint of thick cream. This is very nice

into the other ingredients, together with
sugar enough to make it sweet; add ID

Cellars must have ventilation in the
coolest weather, and this should be
provided for by making a double air.
fiuefr outside having two outlets-one
near the ground into the bottom of the
cellar, and one some feet above from
the upper part of the cellar. A double
window should then be provided which
may be opened if necessary. Clean
straw may be placed against the wall
outside for protection, and held by
boards or rails, and covered with
boards and some earth, but a cellar
should always be built tight enough to
need no such outside protection.
Picked Purple Cabbage.-Quarter
the cabbage, lay in a wooden tray,
sprinkle thickly with salt, and set in the
cellar until the next day; drain off the
brine, wipe dry, lay in the sun for two
hours, ard cover with cold vinegar for
twelve hours; prepare thespickle by
seasoning enough vinegar to cover the
cabbage, with equal quantities of mace,
cloves, whole white peppers, a cup of
sugar to every gallon of vinegar, and
teaspoonful of celery seed for every
pint; pack the cabbage in a stone jar;
boil the vinegar and spices five minutes
and pour on hot; cover and set away in
a cool, dry place. This viii be ripe in

1t has been generally supposed that
Indian corn was so much of tropical
plant that Northern varieties, especially
those large ones of the Mississippi Val
ley, would stand any reasonable amount
of heat and drought both in the upper
and lower cotton belts. But the expert
ence of this year has corrected this no.
ton, for it is found that in Louisiana the
Creole (that is the native oorn) has pro-
duced fair crops under conditions of
heat and drought where corn the
product of Northern seed has wholly
failed. This admits of the reasonable
ness of the idea that there are varieties
in existence capable of withstanding an
unusual amount of drought and that at
the same time will attain maturity un-
der comparatively low summer tenn
perature, while there are others, which,
having acquired the tendency to make
strong and large root growth, will yield
good crops on comparatively poor soils.
