Keeping Gabbages in Winter.

In the usual way of keeping cab
hagc in the winter, there is a consider
able loss by freezing and decay. In
attempting to avoid this waste, we
have tried with success the method Of
pittlng here described. \ long pit
three feet deep, and a little wider lit
may be made as wide as desirable) j,
was dug out or a part Of the field
where the soil was dry and sanity, and
there was no danger that water would
enter. The bottom Of the pit was
lOo5ened up, SO that the first tier of
the caobages were planted in it, the
stems being setso deep that the heads
rested on the soil. The cabbages Of
the next tier were set alternately be-
tween the lower ones, having the roots
partly in the soil. y third tier was
? placed on the second, but reversed,
with the ro1ta5upward. All the soft
heads were put at the top. Straw was
lad between the stems, leaving the
roots out, and earth was thrown upon
the straw, hurylng the roots three or
four inches. In pulling the cablages
the roots were all taken up with them,
and not cut off. ~ covering OF boards
was laid on the pit. to shed rain. In
the spling these cabbages came ont in
the best condition; the soft heads haG
filled up, and none of the cabbage.

Household Hints.

1t rests you in sewing to change
your position frequently.
Well-ventilated bedrooms will pre-
vent morning headache and lassitude.
When eggs are scarce, remember one
tablespoon Of corn-starch will take
the place of an egg in anything you
cook.
a little borax put in the water in
which scarlet napkins and red bordered
towels are to be washed will prevent
fading.
Lay the green peel of cucumbers
where the c~ockroaches will get at it.
They will eat greedily Of the poison

HISTORICAL NOTES.
EspoUsALs before witnesses were GO

EsPoUsALs before witnesses were con-
sidered in ancient days in England as
constituting a valid marriage, if followed
up within a limited time by the marriage
of the church. However much the es-
tablished church might have endeavored
to abrogate thi. practice, it was unques-
tionably the habit Of the people before
the reformation. 1t wa derived from
the Roman law.
In the Samaritan Synagogue at Na-
blous there is an altar covered with a
veil of yellow silk, and within this altar
is kept a manuscript, written, it is
claimed, by Abishua, the son of Phineas,
$50 wears ago. 1t is seen by the on
gregation but once a year, when elevated
above the priests head on the Day Of
Atonement.
THREE different Romans Of position,
Cassin., Scaurus and Fulvius, are men
toned by Valerius Ma1imus as having
been executed by their father, and an
other son was banished by his father,
Titns Aius. Cicero appears to admit q
right of life and death even in case of an
adopted son.
FIBERs FOR PAPER.-A most interest
ing feature in the American Exhibition,
which is to be held in London next year,
will be a collection of American fbers
suitable for paper making, etc. Mr.. F.
a. Smith, of St. Louis, has been ap-
! ,ointed a special commissioner for the
collection Of those hbrous plants.

Handling EnsiInRe.

Elder Evans, of Mount Lebanon, n.
y, gives the following as his method
Of taking corn-Stalh, from the field:
He uses two poles about twenty feet
long, extending the wheels. The corn
stalks are put across these. This is a
very handy loaiIng and unloading.
"Wc cut TAP a loal," he says ''in about
five minutes. 1t IS carried up sixteen
feet above the driving floor in the
south and north corners of the barn,
which is built of stone, and is 1876 feet
long and 30 wide. A floor strong
enough for all weights, say barrels of
sand, is built over the driving floor,
extending from the top of one silo to
the other. Here they are entirely out
of the way. We have doors into the
SlloS on each floor. The silos are
thlrty-seven floors, where the cattle
stand. When W. open a silo, we take
off all the weights and cut a TUNE
down to the middle floor, Just large
enough to throw the ensilage down
There we have a trap door in the mex
floor, through which We pass it 10y
tube into a box on wheels, containing
enough to feed all the stock on on,
side of the stables. We use movable
iron boxes to feed in. They swing il
and out. Thus we take the ensilag,
from the whole top every day. w
are o feeding ensilage twice a da,
TO our whole herd of seyenty-fv

1t is probable that not one farmer
in a hundred ever thinks of using
such a thing rs the curry comb and
brush on his cows, although those in
struments are used regularly in the
horse stable. Yet there is lust as
much necessity for keeping the skin
of the COY in good condition as that
of the horse. No matter whether the
cow is suffered to run at large in the
