The Cabbage Crop.

4 writer in the Practical Ftpmey
tells how eabbages are stored and mar
keted in and about Boston. He SAYS
Some Of our farmers consider il the
bes. practice to sell in the Fall or as
early as the cabbage can be disposed Of
Others hold over great many heads
for sale at different intervals all through
the Winter and Spring. Sometimes, of
course, prices are as good in the Fall as
they are later, or better; but, a gen
eral thing, in midwinter cabbage takes
quite rise in the Boston market
Therefore the farmer takes a certain
risk in holding over his cabbage. There
is also some loss by rotting, although
the cabbage is quite hardy, and if prop
erly protected from the weather usually
stands the Winter quite well.
For storing a good, deep cellar under
the house or other building is employ
ed, or else pit is prepared out of doors
upon any comparatively dry spot in
he field. The deep cellar, if cool and
free from moisture, enables the farmer
TO get his cabbage out at any time in
Winter certainly much better than "a
pit, but many do not have cellar room,
and it may be said in favor Of the pit
that, if the cabbage are rightly packed
away, in il and well covered, a very
equable temperature can be maintain
ed and the crop come through the Win
ter in fine shape.
In preparing the pit no deep excava-
tion is made, generally not more than
one or two feet. The bottom is cover
ell with meadow hay or other similar
materials The eabbages are packed
close together and covered with leaves,
hay OF other packing, and then per-
haps a layer Of earth, and as Winter
comes ON another layer of hay and an
other layer of soil are added.
Cabbages should not be stored until
very cool weather in late Fall and ear
ly Winter. They should be at first
protected lightly and receive addition
al covering a. cold weather becomes
more and more severe. The idea is to
keep the temperature just above freez-
ing, as freezing destroys the good cab
bage taste, and a much higher temper
ature causcs them to rot badly. When
taken out of the pit or cellar, usually
some trimming is needed. The old,
dead or rotten leaves on the outside are
stripped off, and this leaves the heads
looking fresh and green and attractive.
One of our farmers has made a leading
speciality of eabbages, shipping them
TO Boston by the ear load at intervals,
for which purpose he put stove in the
freight car and had fire in very cold
weather to prevent freezing.

Origin of the Chinese Cue.

Ii seems that it was not the custom
of the ancient Chinese 10 shave the
head aud wear a cue. That was "A Gus
tom brought in by the Tartar invaders,
nearly three hundred years ago, and
they forced it upon the conquered
provinces The result was that many
Chinese were driven into Corea, and
the inhabitants of that province when
they yielded to the suzerainty of the
Tartars stipulated that they should be
permitted to preserve their ancient
dress. 30 the Coreans do not shave the
head, but to wear their hair n their all
cestors wore il four thousand years
ago, manner which is seen in China
only on the stage.

He 0beyed Orders.

While i'm front of Petersburg, the
general received information that his
favorite horse, Almond Eye, had been
accidentally killed by falling into a
ravine. Upon the departure of his in
formant, he ordered an Irish servant TO
20 and skin him
"What, Is Almond Eye dead ?"
asked Pat.
whats that to you? Do as 1 bid
you, and ask no questions"
Pat went about his business and in
an hour or two returned.
"Well, Pat, where have you been all
this time?" sternly demanded the
general.
''Skinning the horse, yer honor"
"Does il take nearly two hours TO
perform such an operation ?"
"No, yer honor, but then, you see, it
tuck about half an hour to catch him,
innocently replied Pat.
General Butler cast upon his servant
such ferocious look that Pat thought
he meditated skinning an Irishman in
revenge for the death of his horse

THIS city made very narrow escape
on Monday morning from a fire which
would prove the most destructive that
ever visited it had 1t not been checked.
The fire started in the basement of
Emil Teltgen's hardware store where
there were kerosene and some turpentine
stored. It spread rapidly throughout
the basement and many of the bar
rels were charred half way through. The
large tank of turpentine had become so
hot that the soldering melted. A minute
more and there would have been an ex-
ploslon which would have blown up the
store and scattered the fire in every d.
rection. With the high wind prevailing
the fire department would be well nigh
powerless and the whole tract to the lake
and river would be swept by the fire.
Fortunately, Schuette Bros. have pri-
vate fire department. and as they are Just
across the street, they had two streams
at work on the fire in a short tina Sec
onds counted on account of the intlam-
mable character of the contents of the
cellar, and the fire was held in check un-
til the arrival of the fire department. IL
was risky thing TO enter the cellar as it
was dense with smoke and barrel of oil
might burst at any time. Chief Dueno
was almost suffocated and was enabled
to grope his way out only By following
the stream of water. Schuette Bros. ard
the fire department saved the city a loss
checking and extingulshing this fire. The
loss is about 81 800.

AMONG FARMERS.

The Wood County Horticultural So
clety has established an experiment STA
ton for testing varieties of fruits and po-
tatoes.
John Groose of Little SuamIco mas a
pasture 800 acres IN extent. Large num-
bers of cattle and 200 horses are summer
ed there.
This is the year in which the l7-vear
locusts are expected. They deposited
their larvae Il years ago which will come
out this year full tledged locusts.
In one province of Russia the thistle
had secured such foothold that the
government supported the peasantry for
two years, requiring in exchange. that
they spend the time in laboring to ex-
tlrpate the weed. Three counties IN
North Dakota have already been aban-
doned because this thistle made cultiva-
ton Of the soil impossible.
The high price of potatoes this year
has led many farmers to making prepare
tions 20 plant quite extensively this
spring. Prof Henry cautions the farm
ers OF the state not to do this. His adj
vice is to grow clover and keep cows and
hogs which in any event will pay ex-
penses. The probabilities that potatoes
will bring but poor price next fall.
Fully three-fourths of the farm prod
uce brought to this city comes from
towns north of the city line. This is due
to the railroad, as the several stations
absorb large part of the farmers trade.
If evidence was needed of the bounti-
full yield of last year throughout this
county, the vast quantities of farm prod
uce marketed here the past two weeks
should be sufficient. 1t seems like re-
vival of the old times when every farmer
in the county came to market after the
spring seeding was finished.
The following transfers OF property
have been made during the week:
