Keeping vegetablssIgrOm Freezing

Cellars that are properly protected from
frost by tight underpinning, and, If needed,
banks OF leaves or evergreen boughs. saws
the New England Farmer, rarely freeze
during the coolest weather in winter, but
sometimes an unusual cold snap, or a long
continued period of cold, may endanger the
potatoes and other stores even in pretty
tight cellars. especially If plenty of fires are
not kept burning in the rooms above. We
have placed an old, cheap wood stove in q
cellar in which the chimney reaches the
ground so that the pipe can enter it, aud by
burning q few baskets of wood saved the
good things stored. This is often imprac-
ticable; besides, much of the heat from
all stoves goes up the chimney
and is practically lost. A cheap and
very effective way TO raise the temper
allure in a cellar that is dangerously
near the freezing point is to set one or more
common kerosene lamps on the cellar bot
tom during the daytime. when not wanted
for lighting the rooms above. We have all
noticed how much warmer q living room is
in the evening when the lamps are burning
than in the daytime with the same amount
OF FIRE in the stoves or furnaces ALI the
heat from q burning lamp is retained in the
apartment. Twenty-Five cents worth of
kerosene oil will throw out q surprising
amount of heat, and In many cases it would
be the cheapest means of keeping a cellar
from freezing during the passage of an extra
cold wave. Cold waves seldom last more
than two or three days, and they are often
followed by south winds and q storm; but
while they last they may spoil a winters
etore of vegetables If not attended to. Ker.
osene is cheap and we haye scarcely begun
to appreciate its worth.

goose is best in the autumn and early part

called 6 green goose is four months old.
Pick well and SINCE the goose; then clean

chop three onions very fine, throw them into
cold water; stir into the potatoes spoon
full of butter. a little salt and black pepper,
q tablespoonful Of finely-ruhbed sage leaves;
drain Off the onions and mix with the
potatoes, sage, etc. When well mixed stuff
the goose with the mixture, have ready q
coarse needle and thread, and sew up the
slit made for cleaning and introducing the
