PRS FOR NEGETABLFs.- Most of our
cellars are too warm for the best pre-
servatiOn of vegetables, and II is. there
fore, advisable TO store only limited
quantity for immediate use, in the
house, while the main stock should be
kept in cool barn cellar,or In an oat-
door PIT. Such pit, for family use ia
easily made by digging trench about
three or four feet wide and nf the same
depth and as long as necessary, taking
care TO select situation where water
can not stand. At the approach of
Winter the pit Is filled up 10 the level
of the ground with the roots TO be win
tered. Beets, turnips, carrots, etc.
Narrow iartiCions of soil may be placed
longitudinaliy between the different
kinds, so that each may be taken out
separately. This dividing of the pit
into several sections has the additional
advantage Of making the bulk OF each
smaller. Large quantities OF roots IN
one mass are liable TO heat and do not
keep as we'll as smaller lots. The roots
are then covered with enough soil, say
six inches, TO project them against the
irosts of early Winter, When severe
cold sets in, about the middle Of De-
cember, more soil is thrown on, not
less than two fet t, over every part of The
pit, sioping off towards the sides, and
the surface, firmly packed down with
the back OF a spade. With heavy soil
this will be sufficient TO tern off the
rain and the snow water, but in sandy
soil it is better TO add an additional
protection of straw, cOrn-stalks or
boards.

VIEWS OF AN OLD FARMER.-A sue
cessiul old farmer once SAID, that Gone
acre Of land well prepared and cultiva-
ted VIII produce more than two which
receive only the same amount of labor
used on one. One cow, horse, mule,
sheep or hog, well fed and cared for,
Is more profitable than two fed on The
amount that Will keep one well. One
acre of grass is worth more than two
OF cotton where no grass Is raised. The
farmer who never reads the papers,
and sEeers at book farming and im-
provements, generally has a Ieaky roof,
oroken-down fences, and complains OF
bad seasons and poor lands. The farm
er who is above MS business, and en-
trusts to others to manage, in due sea-
son has no business 10 attend to-"

WHITE CHEEsE.-The reports speak
of considerable increase in the make
of white cheese this season. There are
certain markets where un colored cheese
is called for at higher fl cures than col
oTel cheese brings, AMI that has caused
an increased make of this year. But
those who prefer white cheese are more
critical and require it TO be without
fault when they are ready 10 pay the
highest price. Yet the class that pre-
fers this cheese is limited in number,
so that the market Is easily Overstock-
cd. That appears 10 be the case this
season, and that has placed 1t at dis
advantage. If this class of buyers be-
come supplied it is difficult TO sell 1t
for good price on the general mark
ct. London and Manchester, England,
take more of the white cheese than ali
the other markets. 1t is only safe as a
general thing, to make that class OF
goods that every body buys. The great
body OF buyers prefer yellow butter
and cheese, and where nature has not
properly colored them the artificial
color must be applied to obtain the best
prices. This year the market appears
10 be overstOcked.

How TO SAVE SUGAR IN PRESERVING.
Although little late in the season II
may be welIto repeay a hint often made
on The manner Of using In cooling
fruit. One should know that sugar
boiled with an acid, IL 1t be but for
three MINUTES will be converted in 10
glucose, which Is the form Of sugar
found in sweet apples. One pound OF
sugar has as much sweetening power
as.2H pounds glucose. In other word,
one pound of sugar stirred In 10 the
fruit after il is cooked and while yet
warm, Will make the fruit as sweet as
2L pounds added while the fruit Is
boiling. Save your sugar by little
chemical knowledge.

Never Forget Anything.

A successful business man says there
were two things which he learned
when he was eighteen, which were af-
terwards of great use to him, namely
"Never to lose anything and never to
forget anything"
An old lawyer sent with him an i'm
portant paper, with certain instructions
what to do with it.
"But," inquired the young man,
''suppose lose it, what shall do
thenI"
The answer was, with the utmost
emphasis, "You must not lose it.''
''I don't mean to-" said the young
man, shut suppose should happen
tor"
"But I say you mustnot happen to!
shall make no provision for any such
occurrence, You must not lose itp'

A BAILIE of Glasgow was noted for
the simpllcity OF his manners on the

dressing the prisoner, remarked, II

Magisterlal logiclan was on another
occas .on seated on the bench, when a
case OF serious assault was brought
forward by the public prosecutor.
Struck bo the powerful phraseOlOgy of
the Indictment, the BailIe proceeded TO
say, For this malicious crime We are

HE had never eaten Malaga grape,
aud he squeezed the outside of one be-
tween his thumb and finger expecting
the pulp to fly into hls open mouth,
like any decent sort of grape. The
tough skin held, and looking AT it dub
lously he tossed iC away, and tried an
other one. This ole crushed Ia his
fingers, the JUICE 1lylug all over his
thlrty-seven cent necktle. With look
OF uuutteraOle disgust he appealed TO
street gamln:
Here, bub, thought green grapes
wuz gone by, but Pm durned II they
Amt selling 'em yet. l'll give you ten
cents II you'll eat these durn things" "
And that boy sat on dry goods box
swung his feet wcagged his Jaws, licked

rustic occasionally ex claiming between

LEAVES AND FRUITs.-The absolute
necessity of leaves In developing fruit
is becoming we'll understood By culti.
Yators, but We still see some blunders
committed by those who do not fully
understand the Office of these organs.
The owner of vineyard concluded he
would have better grapes than his
neighbors If he turned the full
rays OF the SIN OH the forming and
ripeniDg bunches. He cut off most of
the shoots above the punches, and thus
removed two-thirds of all the fully
grown loliage. The consequence was,
The grapes were nearly worthless 1d
the vines were ruined. 1t is the foil
age and Lot the fruit which wants the
sunlight. Another instance: A tree
OF the Yellow Gauge plam dropped its
leaves from leat-blight when the plums
were only two thirds grown, and with
only bitter flavor. The branches
we're quite bare Tor some weeks, anu
the irult was stationary. A new set
OF leaves then came out, the plums
finished their growth and r.pened into
The honeyed sweetness peculiar to that
variety.

THE HOUSEHOLD.

CocoA.-Many different kinds of
cocoa are now advertised, but when the
nIbs are properly prepared there can
be no doubt that the cocoS made from
them IS less heavy and more digestible
than that obtained in other ways.
Brulse one fourth pound of best Trim
ldad cocoa nibs In a mortar, add two
quarts Of water and boil slowly eight
hours. Then strain and pour into bot
ties. 1t will keep fresh for several
days. Heat the quantity required for
breakfast, and serve In kettle, with a
spirit lamp Underneath, rs IL is most
important that the cocoa should be
hot. Boiled milk should be served up
at the same table. This method OF
preparing the cocoa enables the house,
keeper To have it always ready at hand
TO heat as required In n few minutes.
Shell cocoa 10 cheaper; 1t must be boil
ell very slowly, the pr Jportions of wa
ter being one quart TO breakfast II
cupful of the shell. After stralning
let it get cold, then skim off ali the oil
and give it another boil before serving.
Another economical way Of making
cocoa IL 10 take three handfuls of shell
cocoa and one ounce of pounded nibs {;
boil them IN water three or four hours
the day before the cocoa Is wanted.

CARPLTs.-The custem of completely

with carpets ls rapidly becoming OBJ
solete. In some instances, people use

ls not at all desirable. lC Is good TO
have carpets In every part OF the room
where The feet must regularly be
placed. Ii Is bad TO have carpets In
part OF the room where the feet are no.
regularly placed. These TWO rules
govern the whole position. and the
most inexperienced housewife can
easily remember them. By these
rules there should be carpet all around
the bed, carl ct opposite TO the ward
robes or chests OF CraW ers, carpet op-
pOsite the wash-stand, carpet opposite
the dressing but none under the
beds, and none tor a space or two or
three 1eet around the room-that Is 10
say, two or three ieet FROM The Walls Of
the room. The carpets that are laid
down should be loose from each other,
each one should be complete in itself so
that IL can be taken up 10 be sh4k, n
with the least trouble, and each one
should be arranged TO lie close TO the
floor, so that dust may not easily get
underneath. The advantage OF such q
plan are evident.
