hard freezing all others must be stored for
tie winter. and a sufficient supply of the
hardy kinds should also be taken up. Ii the
cellar is not too warm, supply for the pres
ent use may be kept in boxes or barrels and
covered with earth, to prevent shrivelling.
C6sBAGEs-The usual method is to pull the
cabbages. set them in dry place, heads
downwards, and on the approach of cold
weather cover with coating of leaves up TO
the ends of the roots; light soil is ofen used
instead OF leaves For family use it is con-
venient TO dig q trench where water will not
stand, and set the cabbages, with what soil
adheres To the roots. close together, upright.
in this. Make sloping covering with
boards As cold weather comes on place a
layer of leaves or straw over the heads. Soft
eabbages thus treated will very often form
firm heads by spring.
ASPARAGUS AND RHuBARB.-Though these
plants are quite hardy, the beds will produce
all the better and earlier If they have a COW
ering of three or four inches of manure All
litter should be first cleared off, and if not
already done, the asparagus tops should be
burned. Ia H
