Storing Vegetables.

To enjoy palstable and wholesome
vegetables during the winter months,
proper care and attention are Just as
essential in harvesting and storing a.
in cultivating. Roots and vegetables
as most of them generally are-throvn
promiscuously in heaps about the cellar,
very soon lose their freshness and flavor,
from the fact that most of house cellars
are too warm for tile purpose. For
storing limited quantity for immediate
use, it may be very well to make such
use of the cellar; but the main portion
should be stored either in the barn, or
IN pit ont of doors. The latter is
easily made by digging a trench some
three feet wide and as many in depth.
and as long as necessary, to accomm0-
date the quantity to be stored-taking
care to select epot where no water can
stand. On the approach of winter the
pit is then to be filed up to level of
the surrounding ground, with the roots
and vegetables to be wintered-placing
the same in narrow partitions, made
with straw between the different kinds,
so that each may be taken out sepa-
rately on going to use. These divisions
have the additional advantage of making
the bulk Of each smaller, and thus pre-
venting the danger of being injured BY
heating. The pit, with its contents, is
then to be covered first with short poles
laid across, and then with as much
earth as will protect them from the
weather until about the first of Deem
Der, when the earth-eovering should be
rnaroaan1 10 oh e.
depth, and sufficiently rounding al
top to shed off the rain.
Where a pit is not practicable, the
roots-such as beets, turnips, carrots
and the like-may be placed loosely in
barrels, set in the cellar and covered
with sand, to exclude them complesely
from the light. Onions, not being so
easily affected by cold, may be pilea in
the corner Of an clubhouse or barn and
covered with sawdust, chat or cot straw.

A correspondent asks if salt would be
beneficial on lesvy soil, to which an
editorial reply says probably hardly
enough to pay for applying. This is
the right answer, in my opinion, in the
majority Of cases. Upon wet or very
moist, soil, whether heavy or light, I
would not use salt at all. but from an
experience of about thirty years, during
which time I used from so to $50 barrels
annually upon soil, q portion Of which
was heavy. but dry, I found salt q great
benefit, IS by means Of il the soil was
kept moist, soft and so much more
adhesive, that il did not crack even in .

to do at such time. and is very likely
to do in an ordinary dry time; besides

1t is the experience of old sheep men
that sheep kept in good condition
through the fall, are not only enabled
to stand the winter much better, but
yield much larger percentage of WOOL
the following spring. If the pasturage
has been good they will. by fall, be in
good condition generally, and the
owner who keeps them so until the
coming of winter. will profit at the bust
pess. When the frosts come and
blight the grass, its nutritive qualities
are so diminished that sheep will lose
flesh, unless little something extra is
given them. A little grain, cut pump
kins, the run Of a turnip patch. or any
other green food at command-a anything
to keep them in a thrifty, growing
state-should be given them twice .
day at the close of the vegetable season.
Especially does this advice apply to
breeding ewes If permitted to run
down during the fall, its effect will be
sure to show itself at lsmbing time In 3
stunted progeny, even if the ewes sue
coed in westhering it through thems
selves. Poor sheep are bad stock at
any time. butespeeially now, when none
but coed sheep will pay. Common
sense would. therefore, prompt every
man to Gull his flock, pick out the poor.
the old, the lame, the halt and the
blind, separate them from the others,
and fatten them in pen by themselves.
1t is astonishing how RAPIDLY they will
fatten in this way. Only give them q
little meal, or even shelled corn, twice
a day, with good hay and plenty of
water, and they will fatten more easily
than hog. At all events. dispose in
some way of all such as are too old to
be profitable, and thus have your flock
composed of none but the best, and the
next years clip OF wool and frisky
lambs will fully demonstrate the wis
dom of your course.

Table Manners.

Among the most trustworthy tests of
good home training is placed that of table
manners; and no Individual can hope to
acquire and 10 keep them who knows any
difference in them when in the privacy of
the family circle than when in company.
The properly trained youth does not an
noy those next to whom he sits by iidget-
iag in his chair, moving his feet playing
with his bread, or with any Of the table
equipage, Neither does he chew his food
with his mouth open, talk with it in his
mouth, or make any of those noises in
eating which are the characteristics of
vulgarity. His food is not conveyed in
too large and too small portions 10 his
mouth; he neither holds his head as erect
as though he had swallowed Il ramrod.
nor does he bury his face in his plate.
He handles his knife and fork properly
and not Overhanded," as a clown would ::
he removes them from the plate as soon
as it is placed before him, and he crosses
them side by side when he has finished,
and not before, as this is the signal which
a well-drills,l butler observes for remov-
Ing the plate. He does not leave his
coifeespoon or teaspoon in his cup. lie
avoids using his handkerchief unneo oessar-
lily, or disgusting those who are eating by
trnmpetlike performances with it. lie
does not converse in loud tone, nor in
dulge in uproariOus laughter. IL he
breaks Il thing he is not profusc in his
apologies, but shows his regret in his face
and manner, rather than in words.
Some writer has said . As il is ill-man-
nered to express too much regret, 50 it is
the essence of rudeness not to make apol-
ogy," Tittlebat Titmouso, when he broke
~ glass, assured his hostess that lie would
replace it with the best in London This
was rather too practical 4 form of show
ing his sincerity. The well-brcd youth
breaks his bread instead of cutting il,
taking care not to crumble it IL 4 siovcnly
way. He does not hesitate to pass any
course Of which he does not wish to par
take instead of playing with it, as a writer
on table etiquette advises, He swallows
his food before he leaves the table, and
sees no reason for astonishment because
eating on the street is forbidden. All the
details of good breeding are as familiar to
hin as his alphabet, and he has been
taught to think that attention in small
things is the true sign of a great mind,
and that he who can, in necessity consid-
er the smallest, can also compass the
largest subjects.

The Egyptian Complications.

The uneasiness caused in England by
the Egyptian complications may readily
be explained by the steady increase in the
proportion of British tonnage in the Supz
Canal since it was opened to the commerce
of the world. In 1870 that tonnage was
64 per cent Ofthe whole last year it was
81 per cent, 1886 vessels having passed
through the canal under the British flag.
and only 100 under French colors. Cairo
has become the true geographical centre
OF the British Empire, for whatever influ-
ence is supreme there controls the an
proaches to India. The French built the
canal, but the English have used it almost
exclusively, and have made it a most
remunerativO investment. Shares of a
nominal value of 800, which were quoted
as low as $44 in 1868, shot up in 1880 from
SAB to 1865, and in the next wear were
quoted at $40 after the payment of a div
ldeAd OF 3 per cent. During the last nine
months the Suez shares have been borne
en- the crest Of the great wave of stock
speculation which has rolled over France.
In January they rose to 500 and
although there was rapid fall to Si20
while the panic was at its height. the as
surancc Of a dividend of II per cent. based
upon an increase in receipts Of over 50
100000, still makes the stock peculiarly
attractive.
While the SueZ Canal is used ulnos,
exclusively as an English waterway. it
was planned and built by French engineers
and is largely owned by French capital-
lists. Egyptian securities. moreover have
been made the basis nf foreign iutcrycu-
ton at Cairo, and these are held in gre.l
bulk i'll Paris. TO EngliShmrn the idea
of Joint financial control on the Nile by
representatives Of their own and the
French Government may be extremely
dlstastcful, but they are willing to admit
that it is partnership based on distinct
interests. But they cannot understand
why Germany and Austria-Iiungalv
should look upon the possession Of The
canal aud the ADMINISTRATION OF F-y,.i..n
revenues as European interests Neither
country has commercial colonies III Tie

class of Egypti2n securities. N>uhvr
country uses the canal cSccp, IN 4 small
way, only forty German ana -ixty-.ivc
Austrian vessels having passed through it
during 1881. Neither country has linan-
cial or commercial interests at Port said
and on the Nile which seem 10 warrant
intervention in Egyptian affairs. Vet it
is the intervention of those two i'owers
which is secretly dreaded in England at
this time. 1t is dreaded because it will be
indirect and insidious, the Sultan being
encouraged by advice from Berlin and
Vienna to assert his authority in Cairo.
1t is dreaded, moreover, because it will be
distinctively mischievouS, for those
Powers, not having any real interests in
the canal or in Egypt, can have only one
idea in making European question out
of the Anglo-French control: they will
harass and embarrass the Western Powers.

CONTINUED DROUGHT

CONTINUED DROUGHT.
AT the commencement of seed time
the first rains of November-all the wise
people predicted favorable wear for crops
The rain fell pretty steadily for one
week, wetting the ground thoroughly.
Large quantities of seed were sown, and
months passed without any more rain.
All the crops were growing up nicely, but
they soon began to suffer for want of rain.
After many days of unbearable heat there
came an occasional shower, just enough
to keep the crops alive This drought
was ended by a downpour lasting two
days. This is enough for the present.
The price of grain had risen nearly 100
per cent. The cultivatOrs of the soil
looked sad and dispirited, and seemed to
have lost all energy. They had almost
gwen up in despair, as few more days of
the heat would have made tho crops a
failure and sealed their fate At last the
much needed rain came, bringing with it
renewed life and hope to all, and grain
fell to its ordinary value. The coun
tenanee of the poor wretches again brieh-
tened, and they eagerly went to work
with their ploughs to put the ground in
order for the crop. If in one month's
time there is another heavy fall Of rain
there is nothing to prevent the harvesting
OF good crops. | have known Il good crop
OF corn to have been raised here although
not single drop Of rain ever touched it

As he journeys through fashions gay street
so small are his dear little feet.

That his walking is something complete
