The Old Plan of BuryinE in Trenche.
No Longer in Use.
The old plan of burying, or putting
cabbage in trenches during winter. or
for winter use, has become obsolete.
and more simple and easy plan has
been adopted. Where cabbage is grown
on large scale for shipping purposes,
the best plan is to lift the cabbage and
stack them two tiers deep and as closely
as they can be placed in an orchard. or
wood if convenient, and cover with
leaves to the depth of two or three
inches, the leaves to be kept in place bv
slight covering of earth. In this wav
the heads will keep perfectly sound al,
winter, and they can be easily taken IN
as wanted for shipping.

is quite important to keep them a little

suggested to keep them in some con.

Fun Over the Bread.

" We had the gauntlet yet to run, as tho
firing of the communists was still
heavy in the neighborhood. The bull
let's were whistling so angrily down
one of the streets which cut the Rue de
la Renaissance at right angles that a
number of servant girls, who wished to
go to a bakers shop on the other side,
were afraid to venture over. The diff.
Guilty was turned in this way: There
we're soldiers on one side of the danger
GUS crossing and maidservants on the
other. The maidservants threw their
money to the soldiers and the soldiers
purchased the bread and flung it across
to the maids. This maneuvers excited
Il good deal of merriment in spite of tho
danger with which it was attended.
At times girl would throw piece of
money short and a soldier would have
to fish for it with his bayonet and
even, amid peals of laughter, venture out
to pick it up. To see the men and wom-

Natural Preventive Of Frost and q Bless-
Ing to the Orchardist.
| Nature provides in the blanket of fog
a means OF preventing the extreme low
temperature which would otherwise
result. More than a century ago Thomas
Jefferson, who appears to have been the
| hrst to notice these peculiarities of
frost, wrote: Il have known frosts so
severe as to kill the hickory trees around
about Monticello, and yet not iniure
the tender fruit blossoms then in bloom
on the top and higher parts of the noun
tain, and In the course of 40 years dur
ing which it has been settled there have
been but two instances of general loss
Of fruit on it, while in the circumiacent
country the fruit has escaped but twice
in the last seven years."
In California last year a large amount
OF fruit was saved by following certain
bodybuilding" methods. Mr.. w. II.
Hammond, of the United States weather
bureau, pointed out to the fruit grow
ers the five essential ways to prevent
frost: First, by diminishing the ra-
diation; second, by increasing the mois-
ture in the air and raising the dew
point; third, by adding heat to the air;
fourth, by removing the cold air
| actually draining it off, and fifth, by
mixing the air and removing the cold
air from the ground. Smudge fires are
based upon the first method and ara
fairly effective, but the great improve
ment consists in the introduction of
large amounts of moisture in the vapor-
Gus state. When this vapor condenses
or, in other words, when the fog forms,
an enormous amount. of heat is given
off, generally at the very height at which
it is most needed. Fog and frost occur
when the skies are clear and little or
mo air is stirring. A strong wind 80
thoroughly mixes the air that there is
little chance for cold, dry air to settle
in the hollows and low places. Fog,
then, as the natural preventive of frost,
may be blessing to the orchardist, but
there are others, particularly travellers,
to whom the fog can be but source of
annoyance and danger.-Harper's Maga-
zine.

MILLIONS IN PRUNES.
Magnitude Of One OF CalifOrnla'S
Newest Industries.

Magnitude of One Of CalifOrnia's
Newest Industries.
The magnitude of the prune industry
of California, writes Los Angeles cor
respondent of the Chicago Record, is
little realized by the people of the east
ern states. In decade the growing of
prunes has gone forward in California
by leaps and bounds, and to-day $780,
100000 is invested in it-that is, in
lands, trees, irrigation systems, agri-
cultural tools and packing houses. Not
withstanding damaging frosts last
spring throughout the lower part of the
San Joaquin valley, and all over the
horticultural valleys of Pomona, San
Gabriel and Santa Ana, the total prod
uct of green prunes now on the trees
in this state is estimated at $4,000 tons.
OF this quantity about one-fifth will
be shipped east as green fruit, for sale
at fruit stands and for canning pur-
poses; the remaining four fifths will be
dried for market, making about $4,000
tons of dried prunes.
Ten years ago the total area of bear
ing prune orchards in California was
less than 1000 acres. In 1888 there
were 1000 acres of bearing prune trees
and about 5000 acres more of young
prune orchards. There was an import
duty of ~. cents pound on dried
prunes in those days, and the growers
sold their crops on the trees for sums
varying from $35 to $50 ton. In 1890
the total area of bearing prune orchards
was $4,000 acres, and there was an
enormous planting of prune trees that
year in all of the fruit growing valleys
of California, because of the large profit
in the industry. Twelve thousand acres
of prune orchards were set out in the
winter of 189O-91, and $4,000 acres more
were planted in the next two wears.
These orchards have now come into
bearing, and the state board of horticul-
ture. finds that there are $4,000 acres of
bearing prune orchards in California
to-day and about 5000 acres more to
come into bearing. Conservative esti-
mates put the total crop of California
prunes in favorable year at not less
than 10000 tons. In few years more
full yield of the fruit in California will
be more than 10000 tons of green fruit.

Wheel
The fork is also made of sticks like
the spokes, with a short piece for a
handle nailed between. This latter
should be little wider than the hoop
and rounded off at the end.
AS the revolutions of the wheel have
to be counted, it is handy to have one
of the spokes plainly marked. Paint or
a string tied around it will do this. If
smaller divisions than half rods are de-
sired, the spokes indicate eighths of a
rod

When measuring land it IL sometimes
necessary or desirable to do the WORK
more accurately than it can be done oy
pacing. The accompanying CUT from
the Farm and Fireside, shows a Land
measure which can be used by one per-
son to better advantage than a Shain or
rope by two. The wheel measures JUST
81 feet, or half rod in circumference,
and is made of one-inch band iron or or
barrel-hooPs. The sPokes are a cross OF
light wood an inch square, halved to-
gether with piece of half-inch siding
nailed on each side over the joints.
These act as washers and make the
wheel run more smoothly. To keep the
spokes in place nails are driven into

GUS quantities have slides arranged at
different distances above the bottom,
the space between each one and the
bottom slide holding quarts, a peck,
half bushel, bushel, etc., as desired. One
slide will answer for all the openings

over the slots inside will keep the grain
