which he lost about all the money
he had accumulated up to that time.

1t does not seem to he generally known
that light in the winter time is the chief
agent in the destruction OF vegetables
otherwise hardy, and especially light
shining brightly on the plant when
frozen. Attention is called by Meehan
in his monthly to this fact. He says on
the subject: 4 cabbage or turnip that is
exposed TO the light rots readily, but will
keep perfectly sound if but slightly COW
cred with earth. This principle should be
remembered when collecting vegetables
together in large masses for protection.
II is often customary to cover such sets
of vegetables with some light material,
such as leaves. hay or straw, the result
Of which generally is simply to form a
harbor for mice, which are much more
destructive than the frost itself.
Water has, Of course, to be excluded.

keep out tho rain it is generally all that
is required. Water must be excluded, or
else rotting may result. For this pur.
pose it is good practice to invert vege.
tables at times. The cabbage, especially
must receive this attention. They arc
almost always inverted when placed to
gether under boards or covers for pro
lection, and in fact where no covering
al MI is used they will keep perfect,
well when inverted.
A correspondent of the Lyon Horti
cole refers with approval to the comIror
American practice Of preserving cab

earth to prevent the sun from affecting

A Breed of which American Farmers IRE
Proud-Fattening tho Birds.
The turkey is an important bird in
this country, especially about Thanks
giving week. He also figures more or
less conspicuously from then on right
through to the Christmas holidays.
American breeders are justly proud of
hEving such q fine breed of turkeys as
the Bronze are everywhere acknowl-
edged to be. The large size as well as
the brilliant plumage is due to the wild
turkey, with which they have been
crossed to maintain the size and mark
ings. Many aocks, having been closely
bred for several years, diminish in size,
while the colors so highly priced get
paler every succeeding year. Some of
our prominent breeders have recourse to
the wild stock for breeding males every
two or three years, and thus keep up q
high standard for their focks of Bronze
turkeys. The march of civilization is
fast thinning out the wild turkey, and
it will not be long ere they will be difi.

cult to procure. There are several west
ern parties who make quite u business
of breeding and shipping wild turkeys
to eastern and southern breeders to
cross with their f,ocks.
The turkey, Of whatever breed, to be
popular must be plump and fat when it
reaches the market. In order to secure
best fattening the bird must be quite
near maturity, for the younger ones do
not lay on fat SO readily, nor will they
attain such perfect proportions. Doubt
less this is chief reason for the farmers
preference for q hen. The young hen
