Few persons, except market-gardeners, under
stand the best method of keeping vegetables
through the winter. 1t is a leading branch of
the business of these to supply at all times these
vegetables, which, as the winter advonces, com
mand increasing prices. They can afford, by
the extent of the crops they raise, to provide
suitable buildings, or rather cellars, to keep
these crops, and have a sufficient supply at all
times to meet the market demand, and realize
the high prices which are usually commanded
late in the winter and early in the spring. But
the small growers of these vegetables, though
many in number, cannot incur the expense of
providing structures in which to preserve these
roots for their own use, and have therefore, to
shift the best way they can in feeding out the

Winter Management of Bees.

A correspondent of the American Bee Journal,
writing from Battle Ground, Ind, furnishes that
paper with the following useful hints;
1t is usual for the apiariet to look after his
colonies of bees and see that each one is in good
condition for wintering, We will suggest. as a
rule, that from Nov. l to the middle of Decem-
Der is a good time to look after the bees, and see
that they have a suficieney of honey to last
them through the winter. Perhaps in some
seasons it should be attended to earlier. Agood
colony of bees should have at least fifteen to
twenty pounds of honey stored in the combs. 1t
is now a mooted question as to whether it is ad-
visable for a colony to possess a very great
quantity of pollen in their winter stores.
1t has been asserted. and We thiuk very justly
too, by some who profess to be we'll versed in the
science of agriculture, that pollen is the true
cause of so much disease among bees during the
winter months, and especially very early in the
spring do we often hear of complaints about the
bees having diarrhea. AS q remedy for this
trouble, we further suggest that salt water be
placed in wooden troughs and set within a few
yards of the bees, and then we think there will
be but little risk to run in bees keeping per-
fectly healthy, if all other things are in proper
condition, such as ventilation, good, pure food
and a comfortable shed, which should always be
provided for them by the keeper. The shed
should have an eastern front, but if it cannot he
thus made. our next choice would be a south
front All bee sheds should have a close fitting
back and a well-shingled roof.
If these suggestions are attended to at the
right time, and prepared with as due regard to
comfort for the bees as any other stock on the
farm, we would have no cause for complaint
A good farmer never thinks that he has done
too much for his horses, cows, sheep and hogs,
by building good barns, stables and pens in
which he can have all his farm stock protected
from Indictment weather
The question has often been asked; rs it nee
essary to build good winter quarters for heesf'
We answer that it is just as essential as it is
for any other stock, 1t is true that we do not
pay as much for a colony of bees as we do for a
COW or a horse; but it is no less the duty of the
husbandman to protect and care for the bees by
board themselves" and often return a large
surplus of honey.

roots to their limited herds of cattle. Heat and
moisture are the two agents which, more than
others, are hurtful to vegetable roots in general
Keep them dry and as near the freezing point as
possible without positively freezing.
But, as a rule, we regard the keeping of these
vegetables buried, or protected, out of doors, TO
be preferred to any other method. Turnips of
all kinds, celery, cabbage. carrots, ETC., by being
carefully buried, not very deep, yet sufficiently
so to protect them from the rains and conse-
quent freezing, will be longest preserved. Gel
cry, cabbage, carrots, etc, are not injured by
what may be called dry freezing; in fact, We
consider celery to be benefited by it. 1t must
be understood, however, that no roots should be
buried in large bodies, because they will of
themselves produce heat, and, as a matter of
course, decay. Better to be placed in small
heaps, or in rows or ridges, covered with straw
or corn fodder, with apertures leading to the
admit of evaporation and naturally of the es-
cape of the heated, or more properly, of the i'm
pure air. We have found. however, by repeated
trials, that, by covering these bodies of vegeta-
bles with boards, so placed as to shed the water,
and the whole on an inclined surface, thus pre-
serving the vegetables in "a dry condition, they
will be protected against d~ecaying better than
any other way. We have kept celery and cab
bage to the end of April in a good state.
On some farms the cellars underneath dwell
ings, which are generally the extent of the build
lag, are used for this purpose, but We do not
recommend them. From the warmth of cell
airs, vegetables will soon decay, and very fire.
quently produce serious illness as well as caus-
ing an offensive odor. 1t would do no harm,
however, to deposit there a small quantity of
these vegetables for immediate use in the early
part of winter; but all else should be placed in
the open grounds, after the manner suggested.

A Substitute for Cider.

correspondence Country Gentleman.
1t is a pleasure to record the fact that the
usual Questionable feature of making the re-
fuse apples into that which in time becomes
hard cider, is being done away with here in
the Western Reserve, and ''apple jelly" is coming
to take its place. Within a few miles of the
writer's home there are no less than ten jelly
factories, all doing a good business, and no
doubt a profitable one, for the jelly sells readily
at about so cents per gallon, though some of in
ferior sells as low as 60 cents TIL expense of
making and boiling thirty-two gallons of cider
is 81. %; a barrel of cider made from pleasantly
tart apples will yield about seven gallons of
jelly, worth So 60, which, less S rs for making,
leaves the value of the ten bushels of apples at
$4.35. In some instances the jelly has been sold
at 80 cents to 81 per gallon. By this process,
and the other quite as unobjectionable way of
evaporating the fruit with the modern dryers,
the plan of cider-making for a 'healthy winter
drink, and the danger of contracting the drink
ing habit, is avoided; and selling the jelly to be-
used as an article of food cannot be classed
among the 'sins of the people," as cider-making
and drinking often are, and justly too.

MOI Enough Rooster.

New York Times.
Captain Williams dotes on twenty barrels of
sweet cider stored away in his cellar for winter
use. He made it himself at his Cos Cob plaLta-
ton. l heard a little story about the Captain
lately, which may be true or may be something
else. Anyhow, it was told by an admirer and
told enthusiastically. The Captain concluded,
after a few months devotion to agricultural re-
ports, that no man could hope to be a great
farmer who failed to cultivate a crop of chick
ems. So he planted his dollars in the hands of
an agent dispatched to Fulton market, and went
on terrifying evildoers on the West Side. When
he next went up to Cos Cob he found the chick
ens-twenty-thre pullets and one s~trutting
rooster. A great sorrow forthwith took posses
sion Of his soul, and the chicken purchaser was
summoned.
"Why all this intemperance in hens and all
this economy of ~roosterl" demanded the Captain.
The response did not strike him a quite salts
factory.
'Zoundsl" quote he, you're all wrong. You
ought to've got at least twenty ROSTERS out of
the twenty-four. Three OF four pullets might
be well enough, for l suppose we've got to have
chicken for dinner a few times during the sea
son, but, ye gracious gods! what kind of a cock
hght can we ever have with only one rooster OF
the whole placel"

Household Hints.

A mixture of finely powdered oris root, chalk,
cigar ashes and a few drops Of rose water makes
an excellent tooth powder.
A lovely lambrequin for a long shelf is made
of dark crimson felt 1t is finished on the edge
with handsome fringe, and on one side is a large
bunch of yellow DAISIES and wild roses.
A popular amusement for ladies' is to make
screens of paper crazy work, after the style of
the silk quilts, and made of pieces of bright
wall paper, coIored pictures from ehildren's
books, etc.
A tablespoonful of brandy added to a pump
kin pie produces a flavor not to be equaled by
any other means; it takes away the nneooked or
raw taste that all but the choicest varieties Of
pumpkin are certain to have.
New catclialls are made of Madras cloth,
about two feet long. in the shape of purses, with
brass or nickel rings across near the top and
hang on bedroom gas fixtures.
To prevent grating the teeth during sleep, a
correspondent of the Dental Cosmos says that
a rubber plate, made thin, and covering the
molars and b%icuspIds above, and used during
the night, has proven very efficient In his prae-
tiee.
A good polish for removing stains. spots and
mildew from furniture is made as follows; Take
half a pint of 9S per cent. alcohol; a quarter of
an ounce each of pulverized resin and gum
shellac; add a half pint of linseed oil; shake well
and apply with a brush or sponge.
a GERMAN test Tor Watered muk consists In
dipping a well polished knitting needle into a
deep vessel of milk, and then Immediately with
drawing it in an upright position If the milk
is pure a drop of the fluid will hang to the
needle, but the addition of even a small proper
ton of water will prevent the adhesion of a drop.
Cure for Hiccough.-Sit erect and initiate the
lungs fully. Then, retaining the breath, bend
forward slowly until the chest meets the knees.
After slowly arising again to the erect position.
slowly exhale the breath. Repeat this process a
second time, and the nerves will be found to
have received an access of energy that will ena-
BILE them to perform their natural functions.
The best way to brighten a carpet is to put a
half tumbler of spirits of turpeutine in q basin
of water, and dip your broom in it and sweep
over the carpet once or twice, and it will restore
the color and brighten it up until you would
think it new. Another good way to clean old
carpets is to rub them over with meal; just
dampen it very little and rub the carpet with it,
and when perfectly dry sweep over with meal.

Receipt for Brine.

Minneapolis Tribune.
Tn best receipt for making brine for curing
pork or beef is to add enough salt to boiling
water until the brine is strong enough to float
a medium-sized potato; or pork may be packed
In a barrel with three inches of salt in the bot
tom and two inchesof salt between each layer of
meat, and three inches on top of salt, and all
the spaces between also filled with salt, and
hard water poured in until it shows itself above
the meat, There is no danger in having too
much salt in packing pork For hams and
shoulders use SIX pounds of salt, two ounces OF
saltpetre, and two quarts of molasses, or
five pounds of sugar for one hundred pounds of
meat. The meat may either be packed in this
mixture, sprinkling some of it on the bottom of
the cask and between the meat, and adding va
ter until the mass is covered, or it may be
rubbed on the flesh side and the meat piled up
snugly together. The mixture should be d.
vided up into three quantities, and rubbed in at
intervals of three days Where hams are to be
kept a long time before using, two pounds more
of salt to the one hundred pounds should be
added, with the same quantity of sugar, salt
s%altpetre, etc. For curing bacon use six pounds
of s~altpetre and molasses as above, and rub in
on the flesh side. The whole to be well smoked.

in Park lane, which the Hebrew philanthropist,
has maintained as his town establishment since

declined to renew the lease for the term of years
proposed by Sir Moses Montefiore, but engaged
to accept the worthy gentleman as a yearly ten

edge of every board should extend down as far
as to the upper inner edge of the next board be-
low, although the boards are half an inch apart.
This method, says the Kansas Farmer, prevents
rain from getting into the crib. The beveled
edges of the boards overlap, and yet do not
touch, while at the same time it affords plenty Of

Crystallized Plums.-To crystalline plume,
take one pound of loaf sugar, dip the Jumps into
water, and place them in the kettle. Let it boil,
Swimming it carefully, until 1t candies. Dip the
fruit into this while it is very hot, then put
the fruit in q cool room. Stems of raisins and
punches of grapes may be treated in the same
way. Halves of pears crystallized are delicious.
Veal Pie. An excellent dish for a plain home
dinner is made by stewing some veal until 1t is
tender, theken the gravy with -four, and season
with pepper and salt, and put in enough butter
to flavor 1T. Then make a nice crust like biscuit
dough, have it when baked an inch and a half
thick. Put the veal and gravy into an esrthen
pudding dish, and cover the dish with the crust.
Bake and serve hot
Potato Biscuit Eight potatoes of medium
SIZE mashed very fine, four tablespoonfuls of
butter melted, two cups of milk luke warm, one
cup of yeast to make a thin batter, two table
spoonfuls of white sugar, stir all the above in
gradients together except the butter, and set the
sponge until light, four or five hours will be re-
Quired; then add the melted butter with a little
salt, and flour enough to make a soft dough, set
this aside for four hours longer, roll out in a
sheet three-quarters of an inch thick, cut into
cakes, let them rise one hour and bake.
Spiced Citron-Spiced eitron should be pre-
pared at first just as if you were to preserve the
fruit, After cutting in small pieces, boil or
steam it until it is tender, let it drain through a
eolander' then to every seven pounds Of fruit
allow three pounds of sugar and one pint of vim

it with, or whole spices may be put in a muslin
bag, and let it boil with the sugar and vinegar
for a few minutes. When it begins to thicken a
little like syrup put the fruit in, let this boil
vigorously for about four minutes, then, to in
sure its keeping well, put it in cans.
A Nice DessePt.-An nice dish for dessert is made
by peeling some tart apples, and removing the
cores. leaving the apples whole; stew the apples
in water enough to completely cover them, and
when soft, so that you can pierce them easily
clear through with q slender broom splint, lift
them out of the water. and let them drain on a
eolander. Then to the water in which the
apples were boiled add sugar enough to sweeten
it well; let this come to a boil, then drop the
apples in, and let them tome to boil; take them
out again and place them in a jar. To the hot
syrup add an ounce of gelatine dissolved in a
pint of cold water. Let this come TO a boil, then
pour over the apples. The day after they are
cooked these are ready for the table. If a small
quantity only is made, put it into the dish in
which it is to be sent to the table, or put it into
q mould, and turn it out on a platter. Serve
with cream if possible.
