AGRICULTURE.

PRESERVING VEGETABLES IN WINTER
To keep beets, carrots and turnips from
willing il is good plan to put them up in
barrels with heads, or to pile them in the
cellar about tour feet deep, and cover the
pile with little straw or coarse litter, to
prevent evaporation. Ii the cellar Is kept
cool they WILL not sprout and grow; but
this is not always easy to do, AZ mild
weather approaches in spring, al which
season q good pit keeps the roots in better
order than any cellar can do. Tc keep
squashes well very different conditions are
essential. The squash is a tropical plant,
and will not well endure cold weather,
even an approach to the freezing point
below 40 aeg. Injuries them Tor keeping,
and If the temperature can be kept UNIFORM
ly above 80 deg. from The time they are
harvested 1t will be all the better; tree CIR
citation of air is essential also, especially
when they arc fret gathered. and for sew
erAl weeks aftel ward. A cellar with a
furnace in it, where the temperature is not
above 90 deg. will keep them well. But
cellar without fire Is too damp and
col d, and they will not keep long IN il.
One OA TIC bSSt pltCCS W DS EOunu III ulOst
houses for keeping squashes is closet
against the kitchen chimney. hey need
looking over every two weeks to pick out
the specked ones; they keep pretty well
till spring if carefully watched. The hard
shelled squashes ike the hubbard and
Marblehead, keep much better that the tur-
ban and marrow varieties, which are most
lly used III autumn Tor pies, etc. Tomatoes
picked quite green, just before frost endan-
gers their destruction, and spread out upon
the benches of green house, or under the
grass of hot bed, will ripen after several
DAYS exposure TO the warmth of the sun,
and prove very acceptable after the frost
has destroyed the vines. String beans may
be easily dried by spreading them on "a
roof or other convenient places, and furnish
an excellent winter dish; they need only be
soaked and cooked as II freshly picked.
This method Is not SO generally known and
practiced as it should be. String beans
are delicate dish in midwinter, and well
worth the slight trouble of saving them.
Lima beans, Shelled and dried, make most
excellent stewed beans IN the winter sea-
son, SO much better than ordinary pea
beans that one would be quite surprised al
the difference who had never before
tried il.

Experiments on cotton seed oil, which
may be found Useful in the application of
their results for the detection of spurious
olive-oil, have been conducted by Prof
Wideman. Cotton-seod oil has at 0 . the
specific gravity of O 8, 406, but at 800 of
only 0.9 206. Treated with vitriol the oil
assumes violet TINT, which is deepened by
stirring; and after the lapse of "a hours
the mixture thickens and becomes deep
brown in color. When sulphuric acid and
potassium bichromate are applied to the oil
a violent reaction ensues with an evolution
of sulphuric acid; the oil then taking
blood-red color. Caustic alkalles af spe-
cifc gravity of 1-24 thickens the oil and
makes it strawyellow, while the alkaline
solution separates and takes deeper color
and when the mixture is stirred with glass
r, the upper layers appear blue, passing
gradually into violet color.

SEEDING TO GRASS. Before sowing grass
seed the farmer should make certain of
having good seed-5ed. More mistakes
are made concerning the preparation of
land for grass than for any other crop. 1t
is no uncommon thing to see a farmer SIM
ply running over plot, where potatoes
were grown the previous year, with cul-
tivator, then following with harrow. We
have seen extreme cases where even the
harrow was omitted, the seed sown imme-
diately after the cultivator, then simply
bushing in the seed, leaving it to make It's
way as best it can. Others will use one
horse plow to turn under the corn butts,
getting in the seed with as little labor as
possible. In our experience the best prac-
tice is to plow good deep furrow, tol-
lowed by thorough narrowing; and after
sowing TO bush the seed in and use the roll
Ter faithfully.

The day of brute force In t%e machine :
shop has gone by. The entire operations
to-day are more of the brain than of the
muscle, and since some one must furnish
the brain work, it is a pertinent question
for the Individual machinist whether he
shall educate himself to supply the larger
part of it, and get paid for it, or whether
On the other hand he shall put himself
nearer the level of the machine he operates,

has to settle for himself.

HINTS TO POULTRY EATERS. reason
why poultry killed at nome, though young,
is not as tender as that bought IN the
market, is that the former is not generally
killed until wanted, and when eaten is
still rigid with death, while That bought at
the poulterer's has been killed at least
hours-more often days. Poultry ought
10 be killed several days before eaten,
dressed at once, and with few pieces OF
charcoal III 1t, hung in cool place. Ii
poultry are kept from food and drink at
least twelve hours before killing, the flesh
will be juicy and the fat firm. If left
three days without food or drink, though
In good condition previously, the flesh will
be dry and tasteless, and the fat soft.
Never buy an undrawn fowl. The gas
from the crop and intestines will taint the
flesh, even though retained tut a sort time.
