These figures were taken from the re-
port of the Commissioner of Agriculture,
and the same proportion holds good with
almost any staple farm product which can
be named. The West is the great wheat
growing country. The aggregate yield of
this product Is enormous; but the fact
still holds good that the value of wheat
per acre in New England is greater than
in the principal wheat growing States of
the West, as the following table shows

Vacation schools"-these words sound
rather oddly together, but they represent
an idea which is being carried out more
and more successfully in the large cities
of the Eastern States every year. While
the sessions of the regular public schools
are suspended for the summer vacation,
the work of educating and caring for the
poor children of the large cities is carried
on in the public school buildings Many
teachers are thus enabled also to secure
work the year around, which helps their
purses, undoubtedly, almost as much as
1t harms their health. So far rs the chill
dren are concerned, however, the idea is
an excellent one.

With these he successfully held off Mid

The question on which the English min

creasing the taxes on spirits. Mr.. Gladstone
said the government had to choose be-

and on tea and sugar. They would &C
cept the issue of the vote as one of life or
death, and did not envy those who, if they
gained victory would have to bear

Winter Keep OF Cabbage.

Cabbages may be kept by any
mode which nearly excludes the
frost. preserves a cool temperature
and q slight degree Of moisture. A
pile resting or the earth would keep
better than if resting on a floor, and
would require less protection. 1t
would be likely thus to receive a
proper degree OF moisture. 1t would
not be necessary to have walls of hay
six feet thick. 4 common way to
keep cabbages by the quantity Is to
leave them out in the ground until
near the end of November, and then
pull and place them inverted on
smooth ground, packed closely to-
gether in beds i've or six feet wide,
with six feet spaces between. They
may be thus left for a week or two,
or until the ground is about to freeze
when The earth between the rows IS
dug and placed as a covering on the
inverted heads, about six inches
thick. the tips OF the roots projecting
above. With less labor the spaces
may be plowed and narrowed until
the earth is fine and mellow before
il is placed on the cabbages, the pillow
throwing the earth nearest 10 them
upon the heads. With this treat
ment the work must be done earlier
than By hand in order to have the
soil in right condition. and it is al
wavs best TO cover them as late as
practicable. /; is important that
the ground has very thorough drain
ace. Joseph Harris regards 1t as of
great importance 10 piow the earth
many times and making it mellow
two feet deep in forming q trench or
hollow to place them in and then
the mellow earth is thrown against
the heads with the plow. The frost
cannot penetrate the mellow earth
il only crusts it. Ii the work is
done before very cold weather sets
in the central part Of the row may
be left nearly uncovered, and hen
freezing commences. the whole COW
