WlNTERlNG cAeBAGES.

A Number of Methods which lave Proved
Satisfactory to Gardeners and Farmers.
There are numerous ways in which
cabbages can be kept successfully for
home use or for the often good market
during the latter part of winter or early
spring. In n chapter on this subject in
his book, "How TO Make the Garden
Pay" Greiner gives general rule ap-
plicable to all methods. II is this: To
pull the crop on dry day and pack it
only when perfectly dry. Also put off
the final covering or storing in build
ings, cellars, etc. as long in the fall as
1t can be safely done
One of the most common methods is to
wrap the outer leaves of each plant
firmly about the head, and stand root
side up closely together, either in single
line or in double row, with or without
another layer on top, then plow furrow
from each side to the ridge of cabbages
thus formed, and finish covering up with
soil, using shovel or spade, leaving only
the extremities of the roots sticking out
The first illustration represents cross
section of each Of the three arrange
ments.
Another good way to store cabbages is
to put them into pits, like root crops
The excavation is made six or eight inches
deep, four feet wide and as long as need
ed to make room for the quantity of cab
bages desired to store. Here the heads
are packed in conical heap, roots in

leaves, chaff, ETC., and simple roof to

might put load Of cabbages in some

Salt as a Fertilizer.

Conflicting statements of the agricul-
tural value of salt when applied to the
soil appear so frequently that the aver
age farmer may well be excused for
neglecting it for this purpose altogether.
Some farmers have found it valuable,
while others have received little or no
benefit from it or regard it as hurtful,
so that it is seldom used as Il practical
fertilizer.
So far as it is beneficial TO plants it
appears to be by indirection. Thus in
some cases it has the effect of dissolving
matters already existing in the soil and
making them available as plant food,
when if they were sufficiently soluble
without it its application would be use
less. If applied in quantities sufficient
ly large to kill insects in the soil it will
be injurious TO vegetation. Some plants,
however, resist its injurious effects far
better than others. With many people
salt was once thought indispensable for
good asparagus bed, but it is now more
commonly believed that its beneficial
effect consists chiefly in killing the
weeds. There are soils, however, whose
fertility seems increased by moderate
applications.

are fashioned princess style and do not

Finding out the Rogue-A Fable.

shepherd who kept large flock of
sheep in q mountainous country was
greatly distressed with the ravages made
among his sheep and lambs by the wild
animals living in the adjacent forest. To
prevent in degree these attacks he pur-
chased huge dog, and he fastened a
spiked collar around his neck. This ami.
NAL caused the ravages to cease by his ter
rible growls and watchfulness. But the
shepherd noticed that whenever he was
forced to absent himself from his flock,
owing to business or illness, that very
night fat lamb would be missing. No
ticing this many times he mentioned the
matter to the dog, who replied: "Well,
dare say it is one of those terrible panthers
that ! often see prowling about in the day
time. l do all | can to guard the flock,
and you cannot but confess that manage
pretty well to scare the enemies away"
"Oh, yes; / know your worth perfectly
well, replied the shepherd.
A few days after this conversation the
shepherd informed the Watchdog that he
was going to be absent for couple of
nights and days. "All right" said the
dog. II will try to catch that rascally pan
ther if can while you are away"
But the shepherd only pretended to go
away. He climbed up into large leafy
tree which overlooked the flock. In the
middle of the first night, by the clear light
of the moon, he plainly saw his Watchdog
go in among the flock and choose n fat
young lamb and begin to devour it.
80 you are the thief, are you?" said the
shepherd to himself; 'you think now you
are going to have a toothsome supper"
Then he slipped down the tree, fetched a
club, and creeping quietly up behind the
dog, with one blow he stunned the animal
He then got rope and slung him up to q
tree as a warning to all thieves.
Moral-We may learn from this fable

An improvement on this method has
been suggested by Rural New Yorker.
Boards or slabs are placed on the bottom

nailed to them, thus forming something
like large three cornered crate around
the cabbages. This is lightly covered

soil upon that. The ends need only be
stuffed with dry straw, which will give
free access to the contents of pit at any
