Only few vegetables can be wintered
outdoors in the north without protection.
Parsnips are among the exceptional vege-
tables which the winter does not destroy
and, except for use while the ground is
frozen, may be left in the soil. Satisfy
or vegetable oyster is of similar nature,
but beet5, turnips, and carrots will not
stand excessive cold. To retain the fresh,
crisp flavor they should be taken up as
late as possible and placed in a cool cellar
or in pits with earth and straw enough
over them to prevent freezing. The
latter is the method most in vogue with
market gardeners, who usually know how
best to present their vegetables in the
finest condition. Artificial heat in any
form spoils the flavor of vegetables gen
orally. The sweet potato is an exception
and will rot in temperature below so de-
grees, while dryness does not iniure it.
Cabbages may be pulled up roots and ALL
turned upside down, the heads packed
together in beds six feet in width, and
ground between the rows thrown over the
heads. In extremely frosty weather they
can not be reached and enough must be
left in the cold root celler for winter use.
Onions require dry barn or stable loft
and should not be packed more than eight
or ten inches deep, witch foot of straw
over them to keep out frost. In the ex
IRENE north some fire protection may be
necessary. For family use string can
be kept hung up in any part or the cellar.
Onions will stand 20 degrees of frost
without injury if dry. Celery is best
when taken from the open ground, but
should be taken up and placed close to-
gethcr in beds with earth and litter over
all to keep from freezing. Winter
squashes require dry place free from
frost.

BITS ABOUT THE FASHIONS,

Pompons of cut feathers are a favorite
trimming.
Hats of soft beaver have brim and
crown of different colors.
Jewelry of etched, oxidized silver and
in Indian design is very fashionable.
Blue felt hats, trimmed with red silk
cord, are worn with red and blue cos
tunes.
Butterflies wings, leaves comets. and
bat-shaped brims are made of cut jet
beads.
Black velvet braces and deep cuffs are
worn with dark green, gray blue, and gray
dresses.
Mclonshaped bonnets are novelties
They are made of folds of velvet with
beads to outline the sections.
Covuilles of jet are employed for
crowns and trimming. Some of these are
made of graduated cut beads.
Black cock feathers are seen on some
of the French bonnets. Loops of red vel
vet cover them nearly as far as the curves
at the tips.
"Spiderwcb" Jet trimming is made OF
fine net strung with tiny jet beads and
yeined with fine bugles. 1t is shown in s
variety of designes.
Handkerchiefs have delicately tinted
borders, with white embroidery. Hem
stitched handkerchiefs have the embroid
cry in the middle.

Ny belief in the value of farmers in
stitutes grows stronger as the years go
by. OF the many have attended, no one
is believed to have failed to abundantly
repay all cost, Wisely conducted, they
are among the most effective means of
increasing interest in agricultural i'm
provement and of imparting useful in
formation on agricultural topics.
The Illinois state board of agriculture
has done good work in holding such in
stitutes under its auspices. During the
coming winter it is hoped at least one
institute will be held in each congress
ionat district in the state-possibly ex-
cepting the Chicago district-each under
the especial direction of the vice presi-
dent of the board for the district. In
this work the university authorities will
heartily cooperate, members of the fac
ulty attending the institutes when this is
desired and when.they can consistently
with their duties at the university.
Already arrangements are in progress
for a few of these meetings. 1t is often
better to have the institutes held in the
early part of the winter, and much hope
prompt action may be taken in each dis
trict. 1t should be remembered that
members of the board will act with
much more confidence of success If they
have assurance of desire that an institute
be held from county or other agricultu-
raj societies or from representative far
mers.
While some expenditure of time and
money is necessary, the difficulties in the
way are often overestimsted. fair de-
gree of interest on the part of farmers
and citizens may be counted on in al
most any community, but someone or
some society must take the preliminary
step.
In addition to these larger institutes
there seems no good reason why there
should not be many making no claim to
being more than county or neighborhood
meetings. Some of the most useful in
stitutes / have attended have been of the
la tier class, where, with the exception of
one of two invited from greater distance
no one among the speaker or audience
came more than dozen miles.
Among the things which will help
make useful meeting may be named
the following:
The selection of topics for discussion
which shall be of importance and direct in

pended upon the fact whether or not
railroads were charged by law with the
duty OF carrying all express carriers in
the way that express carriers are usually
carried-lust as such railroads are charged
by law with the duty of carrying all pas
sengerS and freight when offered in the
way in which such passengers and freight
are usually carried. The constitution
and laws of the states in which the com
panies are located place them on the
footing of coRmop carriers, but there is
nothing IN positive terms requiring rail
roads to carry all express companies in
the same manner in which they might,
under some circumstances, carry one ex-
press company.
THE question was not whether rail
roads must furnish the public with reas-
they must carry these particular carriers
for the purpose of enabling them to
do the express business over their own
lines
The decree was therefore reversed,
and the suits were remanded with direct
ions to dissolve the injunction. This
decision makes it clear that upon the ex-
piration of existing contracts railway
managers may decline to carry the goods
and messengers OF the express companies
and perform such service themselves
through their own employees. If ! mis-
take not the temper of the times there
are stormy days ahead for the express
companies

Large Cattle in Ancient Britain.
Rural New YORKER

1t is generally supposed that IN ancient
Britain, even as late as the Roman times,
there were only small domestic cattle of
the type of the Scotch Higlanders and
old Welsh sort-of the strain of Bos
longifrons and that the large cattle, to
which the Chillingham herd belongs-the
Bos primogenius stock-were introduced
about the time of the Saxon and Danish
invasions. The Urus, however, is sup
posed to have been the parent race. Ami
mails of this race are described as almost
equaling an elephant in size, but with the
form and color of a bull. They are sup
posed to have been domesticated among
the Swiss lake -dwellers, but then and
down to historic times they abounded
in the wild state through the forests of
Europe.
Youatt tells US that in almost every
part of the continent and in every dis
trict of England skulls, evidently belong
ing to cattle, have been found far exceed
ing in bulk any now known" and these
are supposed to have belonged to that
mighty race. A head found in Perth
shire and now in the British Museum.
measures yard in length, while the span
of the horn cores is three feet six inches.
Some large bones have lately been ex-
humcd in England, which must have be
longed to cattle six feet high or more at
the withers, and the body must have cor
responded in length, thickness and depth.
Our largest shorthorns and Herefords
would have seemed small beside these
monsters.

Rules for Whist Playing.
l. Always look solemn.

l. Always look solemn.
II. Allow no conversation within 500
feet of the game.
III. If playing at club, hotel parlor,
or any public place, show clearly by your
manner that you expect the other occu-
pants of the room to withdraw.
". Judge others by their knowledge
of the game, as no other pastime requires
so much memory, such close attention to
established rules so little originality and
absolute silence as whist.
V. Never forgive partners error.
VI. Do not allow the fact that the sol
emnity of your appearance is out of all
proportion to any amount of intelligence
that can possibly be brought upon the
game to deter you from playing in the
presence of others.
VII. Never forget that some of the
greatest men in history were good enough
in their own way, but knew nothing of
whist, otherwise you may fail to realize
the importance of your own accomplish
mentS.
VIII. If, during the game, child
should drop anything or raise its voice, 1T
is best to shoot before the offense can be
repeated.
IL ShOuld any ignorant person fail to
realize the most abnormal combination of
talents is required to play an even ordi-
nary game of whist, to teach him the
game ut once.
y. Always bear in mind that it is a
scientific" game, and far ahead of both
chess and poker, which are merely games
of chance. This may be hard work, but
it will be good mental exercise.
