HARVESTING ROOT CROPS.
Cabbagcs vor Winter Keeping Handling
of Rutnbngas and Swcds Turnips.

Cabbaacs Vor Winter Misunderstanding
of Ru;nbngas and Swcds Turnips.
Tho root crops should generally be
harvested i'll October or November, and
considerable skill in handling them is
required to make them keep VOL
through the winter and not lose their
best qualities. When cabbases are har-
vested for winter keeping, they must be
pulled when dry, and then they should
DO set somewhere with their roots up
ward. so that any moisture collected
i'll their heads may drain out. In tho
middle of the day their position should
be reversed, so that the sun may dry up
the remainder of the moisture In this
way we got the cabbagcs i'll II very dry
condition before taking them in. If the
cellar or storage room is dry and sandy,
the roots should be slightly bnrioa in
the soil. Otherwise they should be hung
from beams or laid upon dry scafTolding
where the air can circulate freely. This
is probably the best place for keeping
them. When placed upon the scafold-
ing, they should not be put moro than
three layers deep, and usually il is bet
ter TO cut the stems off
To keep them very late i'll the season,
the cabbagos need to be buried Con-
struct wooden platform, so that tho
bottom Will DO perfectly dry. Then
place the cabbnGes upon it, with the
heads down, and one layer upon anoth-
er. Not more than thres layers should
be placed in ono pile. Then cover them

so until ready for use. or until the spring
thaws them out The outer leaves
should be left on them to protect them.
Great care must be given to see that
the place is we'll drained and that there
Is no possibility of water getting to
them.
Tho rutabagas and Swede turnips
should DO harvested alse i'll November
They will take 10 great hurt if allowed
to remain i'll the soil until very cool
nights come, but too heavy frost does not
help them any. They should be harvest
ed somewhat similar to the cabbayes
They must be dried off wcll. Then thoy
can be pnt into Il pit or III tho cellar to
keep. AS rnle they come out of the
pit little fresher in the spring than
from tho cellar. All of these vegetables
ehonld be kept only until prices are tho
highest, writes u correspondent of Amer
lean Cnltivutor. Sometimes prices arc
very high i'll the middle of winter, and
they should lie dug up and marketed
then. 1t docs not pay to bury them and
then keep them there until spring with
ont studying tho winter market reports.
January and February are often the best
months for selling them.
