THE AUTUMN ON THE FARM.
HINTS ABOUT wINTERiNe CABBAGE.
Live stock Notes-When and How 10 Har-
vest, Sort and Store Sweet Potatoes
Hog Knling-Some Good Recipes
Pointers For the Farmer.

The usual method practiced by market
gardeners for storing cabbage, and which
is at the same time the most satisfactory
and simple, is to pillow out adouble furrow,
going forward and back in the same place.
This will make a track sufficiently wide
for three rows, one on either side and one
in the center, the latter resting on the
other two, the heads sinking about one
half their depth between the former.
They should be placed roots down, and at
the angle head would naturally lie when
pulled up and laid upon its side. The
heads should be taken up after frost,
and before severe freezing commences.
After the heads are intrenched, have them
exposed as long as they are safe from
freezing, then cover to about the depth of
three inches with soil, without straw or
any other protection. This is best done
by running the pillow on either side of the
row, and throwing the furrow over them.
This will be sufficient until there is
a prospect that winter is to set in
in earnest, then cover at least a foot
with earth and leave them for the winter.
1t is better to put in wisp OF straw in
every thirty feet of trench for ventilation,
in case of mild winter. After they are
well frozen in, say frost in the covering to
the depth of three or four inches, the
trench may be protected against further
freezing by covering OF straw or stalks,
in order to permit of the heads being taken
out as wanted for use. For seed purposes,

to keep well through the winter, should be
stored away before they have fully COM
pleted their growth. They then keep on
growing during the winter, and in the
spring will be much larger than when put
away. and far more healthy. Last spring
we took heads from the trenches more
than three times the size they were when
put away perfectly sound and tender,
while many of the matured heads rotted.

SWEET POTATOES.
When and How to Harvest Them-Sorting
and Storing.

and Storing.
l have been growing and sprouting
sweet-potatoes for eleven years, says a
writer in the american 4griculturist, and
my method of harvesting, storing and
keeping them is as follows: Boxes are
made two feet long, one foot wide and one
foot deep. The bottom and ends are of
inch-bOards, the sides OF stats, with spaces
a quarter OF an inch between for ventila-
ton. Each box contains one bushel, al
lowing for shrinkage. The dimensions of
the boxes should be very exact, so they
may be set one above another, without
projecting beyond the general pile.
The time to harvest the sweet-potatoes
is on dry, sunny days. Take the boxes to
the field and fill them nearly to the top,
taking care not to let any project above, SO
as to become bruised by a superincum-
bent box. They are hauled in and stored
at once. My sweet-potato house is six
teen feet square and eight high in the
clear, of hewn logs, made perfectly
tight by being pointed inside and
out with mortar. The ceiling is
of dressed and matched pine lumber,
upon which is spread foot of sawdust, to
keep out frost. There is fireplace on the
north side OF the store-rOom. The potatoes,
having been sorted in the field, are brought
III, and the boxes are stacked up, the lower
one being foot from the earth floor. A
small fire is kept up in damp and rainy
weather, to dry the potatoes thoroughly
before winter sets in and after the weather
becomes frosty, sufficient fire is maintained
to preserve a temperature of about sixty
degrees, never allowingi it to go lower than
fifty. In this way have kept 800 bushels
of sweet potatoes, with loss of less than
one in twenty.
In this part of the Southwest we raise
the red and yellow Nansemond. southern
green, white Brazilian, yellow Jersey and
black Spanish. AS to keeping qualities, L
have had the best success with yellow
Nansemond and white Brazilian. In all
cases it is important to store the varieties
in separate boxes, as mixed lots do not
command good markets.

CHILDREN'S ROUND TABLE.
WHO ARE LIKE BESSIE TAYLoRi
Very Discontinued Girl-The Little
Prince-Soap Bubbles-Shadow Buff
Tender Hearted Hunter-Among the
Kids and Knotty Problems.

Bessie TAYLOR was very disconnected
girl. She was never pleased with anything;
always looking out for what was disagreed
bic, and not for what was pleasant, in any
thing. She was going away from home,
and her grandmother asked her il she
would have a rose to stick in the bosom Of
her dress. So, being fond of flowers, she
told her that she would like one. Away
went her grandmother, with her cane in
her hand, into the little garden, and gath
cred the finest rose there. There were
two buds growing on the same stem with
the rose, and the leaves were as fresh and
green as the leaves of a rosebud could be.
You may suppose that Bessie was not a
little surprised when her grandmother
shipped off the rose, the two buds, and the
green leaves with her scissors, and offered
Bessie Taylor the stem alone, all covered
with thOrns

in my dress, without a single flower or leaf

way"

mother, "but there are other people in the
world besides me who spoil their roses"
''Then," said Bessie, ''they must bevery

mother. "And now | will tell you the
name of one of them. 1t is Bessie Taylor"

her grandmother said: at has pleased

juices from the vegetables mingling with
the juices from the beef produce a gravy
which for flavor and richness it is hard to
equal; but the gravy of steak must al

Drain it, season with butter, pepper, salt

the center.
Potatoes cut in little balls with vege-

with beefsteak. Pile them in little heaps
like cannon balls and alternate with

Little cakes of mashed potatoes, nodded

before your steak is to be done lay these,

to open your steak must be dished and
ready to receive the contents of this fry

Pointers For the Farmer.

Any kind of cheap paint on farm buildings
Is better than none as the oil will assist in pre-
serving the wood and preventing warping.
1t requires skill to winter bees properly.
They should be kept well protected from severe
cold. but not in a location that allows them to
become too warm in the hive should change
of weather occur.
Put the garden seeds away in tin boxes care
fully labeled, or the mice and ants may destroy
them. All seeds should be thoroughly dry,
well looked over, the imperfect seeds of beets,
melons, squash land other coarse seeds re-
moved, and the boxes kept in a dry place.
Dr. Kedsie. the well-known chemist, thinks a
mistake has been made by farmers in not using
screenings for food. In proportion to cost he
considers such food cheaper than wheat, and
recommends that screenings and bran be fed to
all classes of stock.
The best fertilizer for young lawn grass that
has made its appearance from seed sown this
fall is air-slacked lime, which may be applied
at any time. Early In the spring wood ashes
and finely ground bone or phosphate rock may
be applied with advantage.
1t is very difficult to clean grass seed, and the
farmer who buys his clover and timothy seed
will always be liable to having his field seeded
to weeds. In cases where the seeds are coarse
il will pay to thoroughly hand-pick the seeds
on stormy days so as to have them clean by
spring. 1t is a tedious kind OF work, but in
some cases is a necessity.
Hemp can be easily grown in nearly all Sec
tons of this country but the obstacle to its
successful cultivation is the labor of preparing
it for market. There is wide field for invent
i've genius in devising appropriate machinery
for specially treating hemp and other fibrous
plants which demand more labor than can be
proftably bestowed on them.
Simply washing the DAIRY utensils is not suffi-
cient. They must be scalded, washed in warm
water (using soda in the water, scrubbed aud
then rinsed. A single particle of matter adher-
ing to a milk-pan may serve as a ferment to in
jure the milk. Even the hands should be
washed before handling the vessels, and every
precaution taken to observe cleanliness.
If the food is diminished and animals be-
come poor the amount of food required to get
them in good condition will be greater than
the amount of food served in an attempt to
economic. Keep the stock always in the best
condition, and tina cost of maintenance will be
lessened.
A filthy floor in the COW stall is sure to
cause the animal to get filth on her udder and
side. The stall should be well Uttered with
straw and each COW stanchioned in a manner
to avoid the manure and liquids as much as
possible The floors of the stalls should not
extend back further than to allow the cows
room. and the drains should be kept clean of
distractions The stalls should be cleaned as
early as convenient. and every precaution
taken to prevent the cows coming in contact
with their droppings.

TO SOFTEN HARD WATER.
Boiling and other Means Used to Fit Water
For Domestic Use.


The California agricultural experiment
station issues a tifty-seven page bulletin on
''waters, water supply and related sub
jects," which gives analysis of waters in
that state, of wells lakes, ETC., which is
very exhaustive and complete. 1t has
this on the softening OF hard waters for
domestic use:
When, as is most commonly the case,
this hardness is due to the presence of
large proportions of the carbonates of lime
and magnesia it can be recognized by the
extent to which the water becomes turbid
or forms whitish scum or incrustations
when boiled.
Boiling, then, is one of the means for
softening waters that are hard and "curdle
the soap" from this cause, and this fact is
well known to hOusekeepers, but owing to
the inconvenience of the application of
this remedy it is rarely resOrted to except
for drinking water. For this purpose boil
ing has the special and additional advant-
of insurins the destruction OF any minute
germs OF disease that might contaminate
the water.
To soften water for washing, common
and very good remedy is the use of car
Donate of soda (''sal soda") in sufficient
quantity to bring down the lime and mag
nesia, and thus insure the proper solution
of the soap to form suds. Only there is
too often a mistake made in not allowing
time for the soda to bring down the lime
and magnesia in a powderly form, which
requires from half an hour to an
hour when the water is cold, but oc-
ours very quickly when the water is hot.
When, as is commonly done, the soap is
put into the water while the lime is still in
the gelatinous form and diffused in the
water, a certain amount of "curdling" will
still happen. and the washed clothes, les
pecially fannels) will have that soggy and
unpleasant touch which is caused by the
accumulation of the lime and magnesia
soaps in them.
That it is undesirable to use soda for
softening water to be used for drinking,
hardly needs more than mention. The
natural hard waters usually contain quite
as much of saline matters as is desirable
in drinking water.
Soda, however, does not in any manner
correct the sanitary condition of water;
on the contrary, it aids in keeping vege-
table and animal matters in solution, and,
unless added in very large excess, does
not interfere with the vitality OF fungus or
other germs.
