Saving Cabbages Till Spring.

The Germantown Telegraph knows of
no better way to preserve cabbages
through the winter than that which it
has recommended for 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
a covering by planting two posts where
there is fence to rest Oh, 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 corn
fodder or straw or boards. In using
through the winter avoid as much as pos
sible the sun side and close up again.
We have not found that setting the cab
bage upside-down in the rows, as many
do, of any advantage, as we have kept
ours through twenty seasons in the way
mentioned in a sound, perfect condition,
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 experience. Who
can give better plant?

F1shermen's Superst1t1ons.
From knowledge,


The "Fisherman's Own Book" con-
tains an interesting chapter on the
above subject, from the pen of Captain
]. W. Collins, who says that the fact that
fishermen seem to be more dependent
upon luck than almost any other class of
men, and that they are constantly meet
ing with events calculated to excite SUI
perstitions ,tmay account to some extent
for their being crpdulOus. Among the
fishermen's superstitions of which he
treats area belief in lucky and
unlucky sailing days; as be-
lief in Jonahs; the supe stit.o
the hold, breaking looking glass, dry
ing nails on Sunday, etc.; and instances
are cited where such superstitions seem
to have been well founded, and others
in which they are shown to have been
without any foundation.
Mr.. Scudder, in his interesting report
on the Greenland halibut fishery treats
briefly of the same subject. "The only
difference between Sunday and any other
day of the week." he says, twas that no
nail must be driven on that day, for they
said that would nail the trip Their su-
perstitions are little curious. The old
notion that any enterprise co nmenced
on Friday would be nnlucky has, in a
great measure, disappeared on account
Of the fishermen having read in the pa-
pars long list of great events that had
happened on Friday. The objection to
hammering on Sunday was SO strong that
the captain delayed fixing part
of the rigging from Sunday until
Monday on this account. There
is one superstition about which they are
exceedingly particular. They will never
have hatch upside down. l was in the
cabin Fl sing the fire, and had taken up
the hatch in the floor to get at the coal,
which was kept in the bottom of the
vessel, beneath the cabin floor. The
hatch ! had placed in such manner
against the side Of the cabin that, if it
had fallen down it would have been
bottom side up. One of the fisherman,
whom I had always regarded as very
sensible, seeing the hatch in that posi-
ton, said to me, Mr.. Shudder, don't
leave the hatch that way and when
asked him why, he explained that if it
should slip down, it would be upside
down, which would bring i'll luck upon
the whole trip. | replied: Lets try
it. ard knocked the hatch

Sheen FattenInc.

Mr.. Dyer, in the Main Agricultural
reports, says that Mr.. Richie kept his
sheep penned, and fed them generously
on hay and grain; yet he failed to make
them gain in weight during the winter;
but he did we'll and made money, how
ever. because he dressed his sheep an1
sent them to Boston He also built mp
his farm from the dressing Mr.. Gould
replied tnat he saw at the Agiicultural Col
lege of Guelph, Ont, Bsome sheep that
were fattening for the last Chicago Fat
Stock Show. The College took the prize
in 1880 over all the United States for the
sheep shown at the Fat Stock Show in
Chicago, aud he was confident it would
do it again this year. Those sheep were
not out of the folds They were in a
large, airy basement of the building.
Those sheep had been in there for six
or eight months, anu they were to stay
in there till they went to Chicago. They
were excessively fat in June. Mr..
Brown said that was the way to fatten
sheep, and that he would defy all COM
petition in the United States in the pro-
duction of mutton.

The BeanC Cron.

Accounts as to the bean crop very
somewhat, but the general deduction is
that the crop has yielded no better than
last year, when the deficient crop sent
prices up to $4 bushel. It will be re-
membered that this price was SUBJ
sequently lowered by large importations
from Germany. The production of the
bean does not seem to receive the at
tention that it deserves. AS an article
Of food all are aware of its merits. It is
well known that it was the main-stay of
several generations of the New England
fathers, and they were stronger men
than their descendants of to-day. AL
though fathered even now by the New
England states, New York raises the
bulk that supplies the markets and it is
here that the crop is deficient. The
work of the bean weevil and the letting
OF land run down so that it is " too poor
to bear white beans," as the old saying
goes, is at the bottom of the present de-
fciency. The new crop will open at
somewhat lower figures than were OBJ
tanned last season, but it remains to be
seen at what point the demand will steady
itself. Let not the bean culture be neg
Iectod, we want double the production.
Feeding more cattle and raising more
clover will enable us to grow more beans
and eat more porridge.

How to Grow White Ash From Seed.

How to Grow White Ash From Seed.
Gather the seed in the fall, and keep
them mixed with sand in cool, damp
place until spring. They may then be
planted in seed beds, and afterwards
transplanted, or be planted where they
are to remain. If the latter plan is
adopted prepare the land-a good, damp,
but not wet soil-as you would for corn.
Plant at distance of two feet in rows
three feet apart, and cover about an
inch deep, pressing down the soil firm
ly. Cultivate sufficiently to keep down
all weeds and other growths, and thin
out the trees so soon as they are large
enough to crowd each other. In a few
years you can begin to realize something
from the trees thus removed.

Hen Roosts.


Seeinga farmer near me building new
hen house the other day, took occasion
to give him new idea. He was putting
in his posts the old fashioned way, one
being above the other at an angle of As
degrees. In this way the fowls are led
to get upon high roost, and as it gets
full the weaker ones are crowded off and
fall to the ground, and begin again to
climb up, only to repeat the same per-
formance, until it gets so dark that they
stop climbing, resting content upon the
lower roosts. In the morning the fowls
will not go down as they went up, from
one roost to another, but fly from the
roost to the ground. In this way and by
falling frc.a the roost to the ground at
night, heavy fowls especially, when
very fat or very full of eggs, are often
crippled in the legs or otherwise injured.
Many likely hens have seen spoiled in
this way. told him that should build
the roosts of the same height, and no
more than two and half feet from the
floor, putting them about fifteen inches
apart. Before left had the satisfac-
ton of seeing him commence to undo
the work he had done and build the
roosts as / suggested, and of hearing an
old, farmerl who was present declare
his intention of taking out his roosts,
which are of the fsladder style, and put,
ing in new ones level and lower.

est Denny il it, and then returned to this
country and went actively to work to Sc
cure the appointment of Denny as min

Miller supposed this was quite

so he did not trouble either the
President or state department very

then informed that Denny would not be

UNPARALLELED DESTITUTION.

ST. LOUIS, March 14.-Gen. Beckwith,
of the commissary department, who has
charge of the distribution of government
rations from this city to the flooded dis
tricts on the lower Mississippi river, has
received the following dispatch from Capt.
J. s. Loud, dated Memphis:
Just arrived here Found Premiscott
county, Mo, in a distressing condition,
being almost entirely submerged and about
/, ZOO people entirely destitute. The sup
plies sent to Gayoso are being carefully
distributed and will last until about March
25. More should be sent there. The peo-
pie will be in just as bad condition when
the water goes down. The government
to prevent starvation, should care for them
almost until May /. About so people are
destitute at Hathaway, $50 at Tiptonville,
200 at Haler Point, in Tennessee, $50 at
Bayfield, Point, and /, 500 in the vicinity Of
Osceola, Arkansas. The destitute are
badly in want. At Osceola some stores
have been received bat not sufficient.
Gen. Beckwith received the following
from Capt. Lee. dated Memphis:
Returned here Saturday night. My
dispatch of the 9th inst. falls short of the
actual destitution and magnitude of the
overflow. An additional appropriation is
needed Five hundred thousand rations
of meal and meat should be sent here as
soon as possible, in large installments, for
the sufferers in the state of Mississippi.
This in addition to any rations that may
not yet have beensent from the first appro-
priation. The destitution is general and
increasing and there are 5000 destitute in
Bolivar county alone. Ny estimate will
carry the sufferers through to the 10th of
April, and possibly the flood may subside
bv that time SO the sufferers can begin
work.
Capt. Lee has been directed by Gen.
Beckwith to take charge Of the little steam
or Anita, which left here yesterday and pro-
ceeded at once to pick up parties Of desti-
tute people in the flooded districts and take
them to dry land
General Beckewith has sent instructions
to have the Government steamer Gen. Bar
nard, the tow boat Coal Cliff and barges,
now being employed by the Engineer corps
at Keokuk, sent here at once. These vessels
will be loaded Immediately on their arrival
with Government rations and sent down
the river to distribute supplies to the flood
sufferers Secretary Lincoln telegraphs
General Beckwith that if he has not boats
enough at his command more will be
provided.
