Dacchus, the Italian god Of the vine,

Dacchus, the Italian god OF the vine,
who was known to the Greeks as
Dionysius, had many priestesses
whose duties were to beg for good
grape crops. These priestesses we're
treated with great consideration and
kindness, especially when the vine was
prod uctive, for which they were sup
posed tosFbe responsible. Bacchus
was q very popular god. He was the
son Of the Jupiter and Semele, the.

During the latter days Of Roman
paganism Vestawas probably the most

temple was erected to her in the
eternal city, upon an altar in which a

been called Thompson avenue or
Corpse road, for many bodies were
buried there. Only a few years ago
twenty-five tornbs, containing bones
and Gallo Roman funeral urns, were
discovered during some excavations
made at the three cross roads formed
by the Rue d Enter, the Boulevard ST.
Michel. In another spot close by a
collection OF urns of the same kind
were dug up and sent to the CarnaYa,

After the decline Of paganism the
Christians regarded the locality as
haunted, and placed it under the pat.

and uncomfortable opponent Of
Satan. The name of the

retained it's diabolfcal appellation.

eeplnR Ca0bage In Winter.
The heads which will winter best
are those just fully formed not over
ripe ones. Those wanted for use
during winter can be pulled roots and
all and transplanted in shallow earth
on theScella r3bottom. They mustnot
be set too deep or they will grow; use
Just enough depth OF earth to keepthe
roots moist and no more and the
cabbage will remain crisp. Forspring
use burying is considered best. Be
fore the ground freezes hard dig a
trench, place straw in the bottom
and put in the cabbage roots on
with the heads down, and as closely
as possible. Cover with 10 inches Of
dirt without adding straw-too much
cover will cause them to rot. Some
leave the roots exposed; but during
winter where there is alternate freez-
ing and thawing, the stalk is likely to
rot and the rot may 60 down in the
head. No ventilation Of the bit is
needed; keep all air out and fit freezes

spring cover the earth while frozen
with q foot OF straw and weigh down
Another method very similar and
equally good is the following: A pit

ing are made; in the form OF a roof
for a pit | 5 feet long, three of these
are needed-then nail fence boards to
these frames, making complete
cover. Put this frame over the cab
bages nthe pit then cover lightly with
straw and four inches OF dirt. The
ends should be stuffed with straw,
which can be removed when cabbage
is wanted.
One objection to straw is that mice
lind a nest init and ipjure the cab
bages. We have kept them we'll as
follows: Select a dry spot, or if neces-
sary cut a deep trench with ansoutlet
to take away all water, and thus give
q perfectly dry bed on or near the
surface. Lay upon this poles or
scantling parable! far enough apart
SO that when the cabbages are turned
upside down upon these poles they
Will not quite touch each other at the
edges. Then put on the cabbages and
throw dry earth over them to the
depth Of a few inches, more or less.
Before severe cold weather, throw on
enough more adjacent soil or that
dug from the trenchesif it is needed.
1t is we'll to add earth enough finally
to prevent the'frost reaching the cab
sbages. We have sometimes spread a
little straw upon them to keep them
I. clean from the soil, but not enough to
invent mice. We have preserved
many thousands of heads through
winter and often till late in the spring
in the above manner without ever
losing one per cent by decay.-O. J.

Stamping Out Hog Cholera.

Now that pleuro-pneumonia in cat
tie is stamped out in the United
States, would it not be we'll to turn
more fully to the work OF stamping
out hog cholera, it is asked? The
government has been very successful
in the first, and now that the cattle
plague is eradicated, says an exchange,
more time and attention can be prop
erly given to the fatal swine disease.
1t is true that the government has
been at work several years to find
data to eradicate, or mitigate the
swine disease, and has made a. consid-
able advance toward n kno Wedge OF
the disease and it's origin. One thing
about it seems not tc be SO we'll set
tied as that .of, pleuro- pneumonia
viz; the origin Of the germ ofhog chol-
era. Itseemssto be well settled that
with the cattle disease once stamped
out, itcannot again prevail here UNI
less introduced from abroad, where it
still exists. This is not so plain as to
the hog cholera. II this was known to
be the condition Of its prevalence in
this country, the work OF eradicating
it could beput on more certain and
definite lines. But the disease seems
to appear at simultaneously wide dis
tances apart, and without contact
with diseased animals.
One thing seems to be we'll settled,
that contact with diseased hogs is
pretty sure to produce it in others,
and that sUlation should be carefully
practiced and they carcasses buried
when they die with it. Like the
human organism, that OF swine is
more susceptible and likely to take
lie disease when the functions are not
in healthy conditions. All experience
md observation have taught that
the disease prevails and is most fatal
only during The season Of feeding dry

without succulent food to aid the dig
estiye functions, and therefore when
there is greater tendency TO consti-
patton.
Ontil the hogs are fed more ration
ally, and the succulent ration main
tanned with the dry corn food of fat
tening, the probability is that hog
cholera will prevail. We think that
the present manner OF feeding invites,
it. That the germ 81. the !. 1isease is

AMAZING EATING POWERS.
Astonishing voracity of a Peculiar
Species OF Caterpillar.

astonishing voracity of a Peculiar
Species OF Caterpillar.
q. Trouvelot tells us OF the aston
ishing voracity ola species ofcater-
pillar, Polyphem,ls, and some curious
exn eriments made by him in ascer-
tanning the amount offood consume
ed and it's relation to the grub's
growth and extraordinary develop
sment. When the young was first
matched it weighed but one-twentieth
OF q grain; when ten days old this
weight had increased to a half grain,
or ten times the original weight; at
twenty days old the weight had in
creased to three full grains, or sixty
times it weight at the moment It
left the egg. When the creature was a
month old it weighed thirty one grains
or 62O times the amount Of the first
weighing, and at the expiration Of
ten more days it had again al
most trebled in weight show
ing a full ninety grains of av-
oirdupois Of 1880 times the original
weight. At the tifty-sixth day the
worm had attained it's full size and
now weighed 2O7 grains, 4. 14O times
the. amount of the original one
twentieth grain weight. If a, mans
adult weight was 1000 times that Of
the average weight at birth his
twenty first birthday would find him
carrying around something like twenty
tons Of surplus flesh. But this won-
derful increase in weight and the
curious calculations that can be
deducted stherefronl are not more re-
markable than. the food-consuming
powers OF such creatures. When the
worm is thirty days old it has con-
sumed about n!nenty grains of solid
food, but before this time has doubled
itself, or Oft the end OF fifty-six days,
when the worm is full grown it has
consumed not less than thirty leaves,
weighing three-fourths OF pound.
Thus it will be seen that the food
consumed by such creatures before
they reach their majority equals
the original weight OF the caterpillar
atleast $4,000 times.

last fall. Upon the suppose
ton that the five COWS gave SIS lbs
OF butter daily,-and that the butter
brought rs cents per pound, the re-
ceipts from them during 40 days
amount to $227.5O. The COWS reIer-
red to are ordinary grades, costing
from 500 to $35 Their average
weight is just 8OOlbs., the best one
weighing 740lbs. The value of / be
feed required for the five COWS, for the
period stated, depends much on To-
cality, and the reader can make his
own calculations; but the writer IS
confident that the net profits would
range from $1OO to $l25. How large
a wheat field will it take to bring
your net profit equal to it, and how
many days labor will it require to-
produce it?
