English Bakeries.

The result of the inquiries recently
made as to the sanitary arrangements
connected with the trade of baking is
anything but reassuring. Bakeries are
said to exist in Manchester where the
cleanliness which should obtain in the
preparation of food is impossible. Some
of the bakers complain that the ma
chinery now used takes ''the flavor out
Of the bread" They prefer the old
method of dancing on the dough"
The Lancet commissioner naturally
expressed hope that 1.-The men washed
their feet" and was cheerfully assured
that they did after the bread was made,
rs otherwise they could not put their
boots ON again. 1t is desirable that the
city authorities should deal with this
matter Immediately, and see that the
staff of life is supplied to the people I'M
der somewhat better conditions than at
present-London Queen.

Woodpeckers drum far up the hill;
The robins song sounds CHEEKY still;
But sadly means the whippoorwil:

Ny heart grows sad in sunny May,
For one loved went far away

Though faint. sweet scents the breezes fill,

Her Days Record of Cheerfulncss, Patience

A woman who had occasion to purchase
household furnishings there lately tells this
story to her friends: 81 went down into a
basement where they kept these things and L
wanted more things than l could begin to
enumerate, even to myself, all the way from
rolling pin to q refrigerator-ranging
through butter plates, stove lids and waste
baskets Well, i Just put myself into the
hands of a nice girl with dark hair and a kind

That girl had Il kind heart, and was too
c.ever and sensible for anything. She gave
ne one comprehensive glance, and went and
fetched printed list that was made espe-
the name of everything they could by any
possibility be likely to want for the dining
room, kitchen and laundry. Then she sat
down on one pantry step ladder and on an
other, and she read over each thing and
checked it off If thought | wanted it. After
that she took me TO the front of the shop, got
ont huge clothes basket and began to show
samples of each thing we had marked off
seventy in all there were. She knew ex-
actly where each ard every one of those
seventy things were kept and the prices of
all three grades of every one.
AS soon as would make my selection she
would put it in the basket, and in one hour
had filled the whole list. had the bill and paid

Flo. 2AN UNDERGROUND ROOT HOUSE.
In the second cut Is illustrated an un-
derground root house that was recently
described in Prairie Farmer as follows:
This plan may be varied II bank can be
had. SO that the roots may be dumped
into chute at the top and distributed
by carriers nearly where wanted.
Storing Cabbages for Winter Use.
Every season the old problem of the
best mode of keeping cabbsges 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: II 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 Ohios progressive farmers,
Waldo Il. Brown. writing in Ohio Farmer,
says:
To bury cabbages select dry land with .
slope to carry off tho water. pull them on
dry day and il there is any water In the
heads invert them and let them drain.
Open o trench eight inches deep and wide
enough for about four rows Of heads

will leave q 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 Oh from ten to twelve
inches of earth and shape it up SO a. 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 spells 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
spring. Open fiat trench four or Ave
feet wide and set row across the upper
end, setting them at an angle of 40 dogs.
with the heads packed as close as pos.
sible, then cover tho roots with earth,
tramp 1t down on them and place another
row with the heads resting against tho
roots Of the first row. When your pit Il
filled 1t will show a solid mass Of heads.
Now put up boards foot wide or moro
around the edges and cover to this depth
with light litter. using FIRST corn fodder
and then leaves and put a roof over It,
and although the Leads may freeze o
little, the roots will not. and the cabbage
will mature and be crisp and fresh In the
spring. II you see signs Of mice, put
some pieces Of apple with a little strych
nine on them around the top OF the pit.

In pig feeding there are many things
TO consider. says Mr.. Bebout- The foods
which are used for the purpose are MI

extremely good, but in order TO obtain
remunsrative and rapid results feeder
should make himself acquainted with
their constituents and the relative guam
titles required for the purpose of sus-
tanning the animals, for maintaining
their growth and putting on proper pro-
portions of fat. There are certain
foods admirable in their way and when
given judiciously are useful TO pigs. but
which without the addition of other
substances would not only fail to in
crease their weight. however large the
quantity given, but would prove in
sufficient TO maintain q healthy condi-
