Storing Cabbages for Winter Use.

Every season the old problem of the
best mode of keeping cabbages in winter
is discussed, SEINE growers advising bury
ing the cabbages heads up, while Others
advise heads down. This question may
be disposed of briefly thus: II the heads
are nature and solid they should be buried
roots up, but aoose heads can 'be pitted
roots down, so as to grow and make solid
heads by spring.
One of Ohio's progressive farmers,
Waldo F. Brown, writing in Ohio Farmer,
says:
10 bury cabbages select dry'land with. q
slope to carry off the water, pull them on
dry day and If there is any waser in the
heads invert them and let them drain.
Open trench eight inches deep and wide
enough for about four rows of heads
packed as closely as they can be. You
will leave a part of the loose leaves to
protect them and no straw will be needed,
but the earth may be shoveled directly on
to them Put .on from ten to twelve
inches of earth and shape it up so as to
keep out the rain. After the ground
freezes protect the pit with straw or corn
fodder, SO as to prevent freezing and
thawing, as this is what spoils them.
Enough for use up to Christmas may be
stored in boxes in a cool cellar.
Loose heads may be stored roots down.
and will grow and make solid heads by
sspring. Open fiat trench four or five
feet wide and set a row across the upper
end, setting them al an angle of 40 degs.,
with the heads packed as close as pos
sible, then cover the roots with earth
tramp it down on them and place another
row with the heads resting against the
roots of the first row. When your pit Is
filled it will show solid mass of heads.
Now put up boards foot wide or more
around the edges and cover to this depth
with light litter, using first corn fodder
and then leaves. and put roof over it,
/ and although the heads may freeze q
little, the roots will not, and the cabbage
will mature and be crisp and fresh in the
spring. If you see signs of mice, put
some pieces Of apple with a little strych
nine on them around the top OF the pit.

Tic Formulation of FRANCO.

The increase Of population of France is
steadily growing less In the past year the
number of births was 800 ,333; Of deaths,
S42, 797, or 235 and 90 per thousand respec-
lively. The excess of births over deaths has
decreased since 1881 from los, 229 to Sc $50,
OF ~ per cent The Revue Scient6que, from
which we take these figures, comments in a
very interesting editorial on the connection
of these facts with the question of retrench-
ing immigration into France, which is at
present favored by the government and by
the people, and shows that the only remedy
is to open France to an unrestricted immi-
grafton from neighboripg countries.

THE FERMENTATION OF CIDER.
An EfYectusl Way Of Cleansing Cider from
Pomxce-Effects Of scalding.

There are many different ways OF pre-
venting fermentation, but IN any case the
cider ought to stand in large, open casks
long enough to ferment slightly. so as to
cause a considerable scum TO rise TO the
surface, when it may be skinned OF, ana
also give time for the sediment TO settle
at the bottom before anything else is done
with il, Nothing is more important than
to abstract by natural means the minute
PARTICLES Of pomace that are held III solIl'
ton by the cider.
A quite effective way OF cleansing the
cider ana preventing after fermentation
Is to scald 1t just after it has been slightly
fermented and settled. To do this 1t may
oe drawn off or dipped out of the casks
into large copper kettles, or for large
quantities an old copper still, holding
three or four barrels, will be better
When fire is applied the heat will cause q
large amount of scum to rise at once to
the top to be skinned off.
The heating should cease as soon as
| the boiling point is reached, when the
cider is again placed in clean open casks
to stand and settle until 1t has become
entirely cold, when it may be drawn into
barrels and tightly bunged
Inc eject OF the sc&Io'nB, uole q.
the right time, is two fold. 1t quite
thoroughly cleanses the cider and stops
the fermentation at the right point to
leave it Q sweet and pleasant drink.
While the cider thus treated will after
wards taste somewhat of the scalding, 1t
will not be unpleasant to those who like
it sweet, and is to be preferred to cider
in which the fermentation has been ar
rested by mustard seed or chemicals.
Cider treated in any OF these ways will
not afterwards make good vinegar.
Where the quantity Of cider to be made
will not Justify the expense of casks, the
cider may be fermented and settled In
barrels, bungs open, by drawing from one
to another.

Keeping Grapes.

The late f. p. Roe kept Caxwba- lisa
bella, Diana and Iona by picking on 9
clear day, using grape scissors so as not
to handle much, removing all imperfect
berries and placing in clean, dry earthen
Jars, in layers bunch deep. and filling the
jar in this way: Place a double sheet of
paper over the top layer and put on
the lid. Strong. unbleaehed muslin is
pasted entirely over the lid or cover of the
jar: when the covering has fully dried
and hardened the Jars are buried on a dry
knoll beyond the action Of the frost, q
stake being placed over each gar to locate
it accurately.

Chopped and placed in the silo, there

Science, show remarkable tensile strength,
although no exact comparative tests with
other fbers have yet been made. A collec-
ton of the fibers of hemp, fax, jute, ramie,
etc, from all parts of the world is being
made by the department, and new instru-
nlent has been invented by which if is ex.
pected that the tensile strength of each will
be ascertained with great accuracy
