How to put away cauliHower plants
TINT have not headed to keep for winter
Until they form heads is q perplexing
problem with some growers Here is
plan indorsod by Rural New Yorker:
Dig a pit Of the required size 4 feet
deep, Commence at one end with the
plants set as closely as they can be piac-
ed and cover the roots with earth.
Cover with boards or sashes to keep out
the rain If the plants show the bud in
the least, they will develop perfect
heads before spring. Of course the
fralhe will need to be lower on one
side than the other to carry off the rains,
and the boards should fit closely. In
case of severe cold say where the tenn
'perature falls below l5 degrees, some
mats OF straw should he thrown over
tho cover They will keep and head uf
through the winter splendidly il set IN
/ rhe ground in a piece of woods and GOV
FRED with leaves to tho depth of siA
inches. Keep the leaves from blowing
away by some brush.

Gardeners are now qnite busy with
their cold frames getting them filled
with cabbage and cauliflower plants for
next springs use. While this is "A very
common practice, it is an expensive and
poor one, as tho plants named can be
wintercd with far less work, at the
same time much better, according to
American Gardening, which lays:
For plants TO winter over the seeds
should be- sown about the middle of Sep
tenhor in any good soil in field or gar
den. Sow thiny, in order to get good
stocly plants. Upon the approach Of
cold weather mako trench, six inches
deep, of any required size, in which
place tho plants upright with roots
down, in the same manner as tho full
grown plants are put away for seed pur-
poses. Place upright iii the center OF
the plants "A small bundle of straw, say
inches in diameter. This is for the
purpose of allowing the warm moisture
from below to escape which Will pre-
vent the plants rotting. Then cover thom
with foot of earth, which will be am
ply sufficient to keep ont frost, or at
least freezing In this trench tho plants
will make an uninterrupted but slow
growth the entire winter. coming out
perfectly healthy and fresh i'll tho spring.
When set in spring, such plants will
perfect their heads in two weeks less
time than those grown i'll "a hotbed, or
from those that have been wintered in q
cold frame.

Wintering rarsnips.

The practice of leaving parsnips in
the ground through the winter is very
general. The prevalent idea that freez-
ing and thawing add materially to tho
flavor of the vegetable is erroneous, as
experience proves writes a Vermont
correspondent in The New England
Homestead. He says: The better way is
to dig them late i'll the fall and store in
cool cellar. The advantages to be
gained by this process are the early date
at which they can he placed in the mar
ket and consequent higher prices obtain
ed, and the length Of time they retain
Their flavor and freshness in spring and
early summer. Parsnips thus cared Cor
have been kept into June With marked
success Furthermore, it avoids the ne.
cossity of hustling around to dig tbe
roots III the spr',1g before the tops have
made much growth likewise worms
and rot are unknown

Rec Diseases.

A new bee disease has made its ap-
pearance in California and some of the
other states. The brood dies i'll the cells
in all stages of growth. The black or
dscolored larvp of all sizes and the
dead pupB are found scattered, often
thickly, throughout the maturing brood.
Professor A. J. Cook, at California
farmers institute, told that his obser-
vations and experiments led him to
conclude that scant stores, too meager
nourishment and consequently imperfect
nutrition cansed the mortality. The OBJ
vious suggestions are more care and at
tention, more honey left in tho hives at
the close of the season, and careful at
tention and if necessary feeding in years
of honey dearth.
Bee paralysis, also called nameless
disease, is attracting attention. In this
disease the image, or immature bees.
arc tho ones that die The dead or en-
feebled bees are carried by other bees
outside, and thus the ground in front
OF the hives has constantly mound of
dead bees. Usually the colony does not
wholly succumb, but it is so weakened
that it produces little or no honey. Cen
orally tho colony RECEIVERS after cnno.
Usually after the bees have replaced the
queen VITA IL young one,
Professor Cook thinks this last dis
ease comes from some constitutional
weakness OF the queen which shows
itself In debility of her progeny, the
worker bees He mas known IN several
cases the disease to soon disappear after
the queen was superseded, and in other
cases, where the bees replaced their
queen with young, healthy one, the
the disease soon vanished.
The best advice which can be given
In case the old bees die off too rapidly
is to see that the bees Lave abundance of

HANDLING LIQUID MANURE.

How 1t Is Done at the Ellersiie Stock
Farm Another Plan Recommended.
The importance of saving every drop
If liquid manure is generally conceded,
but how to handle it with profit re-
mains question. Farmers who have
built tanks experience trouble because
The pumps clog with the thick sediment.
Il NJ. Cottrell, writing to Rural New
Yorker from the celebrated Ellerslie
stock farm, tells that he has had the
best experts in this line looking for a
pump that will prove satisfactory for
more than two years, and they cannot
dnd one Large steam pumps will do
the work, but they are too expensive.
do writes as follows: We absorb most
Of the liquids What is not absorbed
passes through thick bed of shavings,
and then through brass screen before
It runs into the cistern. We pump it
into tho sprinkler with a common brass
lined pump We use IL brass lined pump
because tho other kinds soon rust and
then will not work We use a Stude-
baker sprinkler for distributing tho
liquid manure This is the only kind
we could ma tnat would not clog.
do not favor this method of han
ding manure, and the arrangement |
have just spoken of is the only thing in
our Ellorslie barn that is not satisfac-
tory. The pipes carrying the liquid
manure to the cistern are always getting
clogged, and it requires too much labor
to pump the manure out of the cistern.
The plan | would recommend is this:
I would make the cutters behind tho
COWS with very slight grade, not
over one inch in 100 feet run | would
then keep the cutters well filled with n
good absorbent, shavings, sawdust,
ohaff or cut straw. Any of these will
absorb nearly the whole of the urine and
will retain it so that the ammonia does
not escape and faint the air Our cattle
are kept in the stable most of tho time,
and we find it necessary to remove this
material from the cutters once week.
For the small amount of urine that will
not be absorbed i'll the cutters | would
continue the cutters to the outside of
the barn and have it empty into a shall
low tank | would half fill this tank
with absorbents, and as fast as they
became saturated haul them to the field.
The gutter leading from the cows TO
the outside tank should have hinged
cover so that it may easily be cleaned
and washed.

Wheat Feeding In the East.

The use of wheat for feeding is an adj
ditional element Of difficulty in deter
mining che consumption of this grain.
In tho west the practice is becoming
qui+o general, involving already censid-
CRADLE quantities. Some very large 'esti-
mates of the quantity likely to be used
during the year have been rlade. But
the practice is invading the@ast i'll many
directions The richest agricultural
county in the United States, Lancaster.
Pa, whose agricultural prodacts literal
ly sum up value of millions is feed
ing wheat extensively. A Country Gen
tleman correspondent declares the fact,
from inquiry of local mills, that more
wheat is ground than of corn and oats
together. He believes one-fifth the local
crop will BE fed,
