not be covered over with earth and
should not Ter a ny conditions, be
put where free ventilation cannot be
secured. The Country Gentleman has
received the following advice from ).
s.. Bull an experienced cabbage grow
er Of Cortland county n.
In regard TO storing ca bage, this
is done in every conceivable way, from
standing hem on their heads on mead
oW land or in wood without any COW
sering, Or sometimes a little straw or
snow, to Easements of barns and to
quite elaborate storehouses. When
stored on meadoworWoeds, IN some in
stances they keep better and shrink
less than in an other way but they
should be placed on sloping ground, so
that the rama ge will besgood; and#coy-
|5ering has to be watched SO that they do
not get to- warm, as there is little
or nogventilations that way, and some
times they all rot.
g In Easements Of barns bins are usu-
ally built like potato bins of Stats. leay-
ing about hree inches opening between
them. commencing about foot above
the ground, and another, say three feet
above that, and SO on up to the ceiling.
This apples to regularly built store
houses as we'll is to endorsements, but
there space left a bout two feet wide
all around between walls and bins. and
cabbage is piled in carefully, not ex-
ceeding 21las. feet deep in bins, 50 that
there is plenty Of air to circulate all
around the bins. The bins may be made
as wide as convenient to place cabbage
in, say about four OF. five feet, and any
length if there is plenty of air.
There should be plenty of windows,
land they should be kept open all the
time when there is no danger of freez-
ing-the best results being obtained
where they have best ventilation and
are not allowed togetchilled. All mod
ern storehouses have large ventilators
on the top Of the building to carry off
the damp vapors that arise, and to
make circulation. Your inquirer can
keep cabbage very nicely in his out
door cellar, provided he gets plenty OF
fresh air in and around his cabbage
opening them up to the air every warm m
| day. All there is of the whole matter
IS plenty sof fresh air and low tenn EN-
Iperature. Z

The LustrOus Pearl.

Pearls, as most readers know, are
small bodies found either in the mother
Of pearl shells or those with a nacreous
lining They are formed either by q
disease, by the presence Of a parasite
or by an effort on the part Of the mol
lusk to rid itself Of some foreign sub
stance which has found its way into
the shell.
Pearls are composed Of many ayers
Of carbonate Of lime with organic mat
ter between and are not always pearly
throughout and Invariably have some
small central core or nucleus. Round
pearls Of fine luster and color are. very
valuable, and their value increases rap
idly with their size.

OUR FRUIT IN DEMAND.
Europeans Want American Dried
Prunes, Peaches and Apricots
and Green Apples.

The prospect for an unprecedented
export Of American dried prunes, apri-
cots, peaches and pears, as well as
sevaporated apples and raspberries to
Germany the autumn and winter of
s'O1 is exceedingly bright, provided
the crop in the United States is suffh-
GENTLY plentiful to furnish a large sup

Consul General Frank H.. Mason at
Berlin. This seems to Be the general
opinion Of those who are in a position
to study thet tendencies. The Paris ex-
position has done much to open the
eyes Of Europeans to the fact that
America is great fruit producing
country and great increase in the de-
mand for our fruits confidently ex-
pected. Many American merchants,
combining business with pleasure,
have visited the Paris exposition and
taken the opportunity thus offered e to
see personally many Of the dealers in
the principal German cities and offer
their products to them.
In Berlin, wholesale dealer in
fruits has informed the consulate that
his customers, largely grocers and
provision dealers in other cities and
towns have been giving larger orders
than ever before for American fruits.
The excellent flavor of the American
products, both fresh and dried, to-
gether with the reasonable prices,

How Things Grow In Hawaii.


How great are the possibilities Of
Hawaii as a fruit and vegetable grow
ing country Will be nderstood when
it becomes known that four crops Of
potatoes have been produced in sue
5cession on the same piece of land with
in twelve months Radishes become
edible ia ten days after sowing. Straw
berry vines bear fruit all the year. The
berries are of the finest flavor.
Cabbage grows 81 the year, and it
apparently m axes no difference Wheth-
ers it is planted in the spring, summer,
autumn or winter. Parsley once sown
grows forever apparently. Lima beans
continue to grow and bear for over a
year. and they have TO be gathered
every week after starting to bear. Gu
cumbers bear the entire year, and SO
do tomatoes, which. with proper at
tention. bear for years. Raspberries
bear for six months.
d Pineapples come into bearing when
the plants are four months old and bear
in abundance for years. Lettuce can
be planted at any time, and it develops
quickly. The same is true Of celery.

GRANTS FAST HORSE.
The Learned PronOuncement 81
COnkiing on II Agreed with
the Buteherss.

When Gen. Grant was president he
was fond of fine horses, as every body
knows, and drove the fastest trotter
in Washington. 1t was his greatest pleas
ure to go out on the aqueduct road.
which is dead level from George town
to Cabin John bridge, and let his horse
out to its full speed. People who knew
his habits used to go out there sunny
afternoons for the novelty of seeing
the president of the United States driv-
ing at 1880 gait. But butcher in
Washington had horse that could beat
the presidents, and very often he APP
pcared on the road to show his animals
speed and annoy the president. lie
would hang around the end of the aque-
duct bridge until the presidents light
buggy and stylish stopper had passed.
and would follow them until he reached
wide place in the road. Then he
would let his horse cut. and he butcher
cart would go bounding along until he
had thrown dust in the presidents
eyes for awhile, when he would slacken
up and let Gen. Grant go by, only to
pass him again and again, as often as
he pleased without the slightest regard
for the pride or the office of the chief
magistrate of this great nation.
Gen. Grant was very patient. self
contained man. but doubt il anything
that ever occurred in his life ANNOYED
him so much as that butcher. He was
compelled to abandon the road which
runs along the top of the tunnel
hof hriy =.
Potomac to Washington, and seek 9TH
er drives in order to avoid his tor
mentor, but thevillain Still pursued him,
and used to hang around La Fayette
square in his old butchers cart so that
he could follow the president in any di-
rection be might take. Finally Gen.
Grant took Col. Condit Smith into his
confidence and asked him to negotiate
quietly for the purchase of the horse,
which was accomplished for $500.
The next morning Senator Conkling
and Senator Jones, of Nevada. were in
vited to inspect the wonderful animal.
and accompanied Gen. Grant to the
white house stables, just south of the
state department. Senator Jones de-
clined to express an opinion as to the
merits of the animal. He said that he
claimed to know all about mines, but
had never set up as an expert on horses,
but Mr.. Conkling, who probably knew
less, pretended to examine the animal
with great care. He looked at his feet
and twisted his tail; he inspected his
hoofs infinitely, gazed steadily for sew
eral moments into his eyes, rubbed his
legs with knowing air, and finally,
turning to Gen. Grant, remarked with
an air of JUDICIAL authority:
ITS mighty fine horse, Mr.. Presi-
dent, but would rather have the $500"
That's exactly what the butcher
said." retorted Gen. Grant.-Washing-
