Bogus Censustakers.

Quite number Of citizens are COM
planning of the method which is being
taken by Republican canvassers of the
city. 1t is stated that these canvassers
visit houses during the absence of the
men from their homes, and pretend to be
obtaining information for census.
They generally wind up their questions
by asking If the men OF the house are
Republicans, and if they are, by advis-
ing the ladies to use their influence to
have them register. The complainants
object to their homes being invaded in
this manner.

About 10 o'clock a number of China

number also, donned supplies with black
belts. These were the relatives of the

meant to indicate their great sorrow.
These chief mourners ranged themselves
along the side of the room and soon be-

band started the "Dead March from Saul,

Meanwhile additional joss sticks were
placed in the ic bowls, and the China

PLANT TREES.
Beautify Your Homes and Make
the City Attractive.
Timely Suggestions for Property
Owners and All Who Love
the Beautiful.

Austin, nesting in shady valleys and on
sunny hillsides, is wondrously attractive.
Naturally there is nothing to mar her
beauty, and only the horrible condition
of her streets and the sad lack of suitable
sidewalks detract from her loneliness.
Will the city lawmakers ever give us bet
ter ones? There is, too, in many places
lack of shade trees. In the city there
are many beautiful homes, but there are
many not so beautiful. Everybody hav-
ing home should now be adjoining the
front yard aud highway in the vicinity
with shade trees, for this is the season to
transplant and set them out. Shade
trees should be planted along side all the
streets.
In a city like this, where houses are
painfully white where built of stone, and
where the white limestone in many places
is left bare in the roadways,
and where the summers sun shines
with degree of brillianoy unparalleled,
when the air is dry and clear, life's com
forts depend greatly upon shade trees,
beautiful shrubbery and fragrant flowers
Here in Austin trees and shrubbery grow
luxuriautly on hillsides and in valleys and
roses bloom perennially. Nearly every
tree of the temperate zone may be made
to flourish here, thanks to Captain Ma
theirs superb water works. And yet there
are many streets and many pretty home
steads in deep valleys and on lofty hills
wearing an aspect of nakedness that is
shameful, when with little labor and small
cost they can be rendered most delightful
and beautiful.
Let every property owner in the city
plant one or more trees and posterity will
have the greater reason for recognizing
and blessing the good deeds of those now
inhabitlpp the CAPITAL CITY,

FARM AND GARDEN.
sEAsoNA6LE SUBJECTS CONSIDERED
IN A PRACTICAL MANNER.

Various Methods for Keeping Potatoes
Over Winter-A Potato Pit and an I'M
derground Root House Illustrated and
Described,
In some sections of the country the
commonest way for keeping potatoes over
winter, especially early potatoes for seed,
is to store the tubers in cool, well venti.
lated cellars Opinions vary as to
whether the potatoes should be packed in
large bins or in smaller lots in boxes or
barrels, but it would seem that most
growers store in large masses. 1t pays,
as all agree, to shovel or handle the seed
potatoes over several times during the
winter. The suggestion is made in
Rural New Yorker-from which journal
the potato pit here Illustrated was taken
that potatoes could be stored success.
fully in sacks, which could be emptied
and reflled once each month or six weeks
during the winter.

Storing Cabbages for Winter Use.


Every season the old problem Of the
best mode of keeping cabbages in winter
Is discussed, some growers advising bury
ing the cabbages heads up while others
advise heads down. This question may
be disposed of briefly thus: If the heads
are mature and solid they should be buried
roots up, but loose 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:
To bury cabbages select dry land with q
slope to carry off the water, pull them ON
q dry day and if there is any water 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 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 cool cellar.
Loose heads may be stored roots down,
and will grow and make solid heads by
spring. Open fiat trench four or five
feet wide and set a row across the upper
end, setting them at an angle of 45 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 1t,
and although the heads may freeze o
little, the roots will not, and the cabbage
will mature and be crisp and fresh In the
spring. If you see signs of mice, pnt
some pieces of apple with little strych
nine on them around the top of the pit.

WHITE HOLLAND TURKEYS.
What an Austin Lady Knows
About Them.

Mrs. r. M. Johnson, who lives about a
mile east of the Blind institute, has written
the following letter to the San Antonio
Texas Stockman:
AUSTIN, Tex, October %, 1883.
Editor Poultry Department Texas Stockman:
q AS per your request in the columns of
the Stockman, inviting all interested in
tpoultry to give their experience through
the poultry department, am pleased as
one of the patrous of the paper to give
my views on the White Holland turkey
and my method of raising them. After
having tried almost every variety
II favor the Holland, and now
breed none other. 1 admire them
first, because of their beauty. My
flock are the admired of all admirers,
every one seeing them giving them the
mcst fattering praise. They are proud,
symmetrical bird with plumsge of snowy
white, ornamented with beautiful set
black beard. A flock of these on a beauti
sful lawn present a lively and pleasing
lsight. Their beauty by no means ex-
hausts their good qualities. They are
large of size, hardy and mature rapidly.
II have heard that there is a Russian tur-
key the gobbler weighing from thirty five
to forty pounds. My male Holland tur-
keys average in weight twenty-five
pounds and believe that, by judicious
breeding, they could be made to attain
the same size as the Russian have spoken
of. The White Holland are good layers
and mothers, and it is impossible for
them to hide their nests from you,
as the whiteness of their coat is
betraying signal TO their hiding
place which never fails of detection.
When they become broody see that they
have good nest in some secure place,
before 1 set them. The young turks,
after Matching, should not be removed
From the nest for at least twenty-four
hours, and then they should be kept off
the damp ground for a few days. There
Dis nothing better to feed them than curd
made by heating the clabber enough to
take the whey off which removes the
water. This makes them splendid food
'once day. Always feed variety, but
never give them food in raw state. AS
an evening meal 1 generally give them
corn meal, vegetable trimmings and
little cayenne pepper, scalded and then
Drowned IN the oven. Never allow the
young turkeys to be dragged along in the

can go to. have been very successful IN
RAISING turkeys, and believe that any who
will try the White Holland will like them
and discard all others. Respectfully,

Frosted Corn Fodder.

The best treatment for frosted corn fod-
der, says Country Gentleman, is to pre-
serve it in shocks from the weather in the
Usual way, and before feeding out to pass
it through cutter, which will cut it third
of an inch long, and then moisten 1t lightly
and sprinkle meal over it, The stalks will
afford some nourishment, the dead leaves
little or none. We are not aware that any
analysis has been made of frosted leaves,
but they are not so good as straw.
Chopped and placed in the silo, there
would probably not be heat enough to
prevent sour fermentation, and they
might be spoiled, but much would depend
on the condition of the stalks and Of the
leaves, which would vary with cfrcum-
stances. The result would be uncertain.

Many of the large potato growers use
pits for storing their tubers. In the il.
lustration is shown q pit in which the
potatoes are put as soon after being har-
vested as possible, when they are covered
with straw or corn stalks for a few days.
They are then covered with boards and
earth the ends of the pit being left open.
Later the ends are closed, and small
amount of ventilation is afforded by
means of a whisk of straw, which extends
up through the center of the covering to
the open air, In the illustration, A rep
resents pole supporting the boards; B,
six inches of earth; @, eight inches Of
manure; D, six inches of earth; e, eight
inches of manure; F, a straw ventilater,
and G, space of eight inches between
potatoes and boards.

a general revival of trade at Morley
Bros. drug store as their giving away to
their customers of SO many free trial
bottles of DIR. Kings New Discovery for

enormous in this very valuable article,
from the fact that it always cures and

sauashes for Late Keeping.

Remember that every squash that is
raised will rot quickly, hence the impor-
lance of carefully handling all specimens
that are to be kept for winter use. Be
careful, too, not to let the frost touch
squashes, but harvest them as soon as
fairly ripe. For long keeping the safest
plan Is to store squashes on shelves or
elsewhere, one layer deep, with little
space between each squash. When piled
in large heaps squashes decay in COM
paratively short time.
