A MODEL STORAGE PIT.
1t Keeps Vegetables from Freezing
During Winter and from Crow
ing During Summer.

One of the most serious problems
for vegetable growers is to secure
a storage place which will keep vege-
tables from freezing during winter
and also prevent them from shrink
ing and growing during summer.
Numerous plans have been used,
some of them with most satisfactory
results. In the northwest, Mr.. S. j.
Fairfield, of Minnesota, describes his.
method in a recent issue of the Min
nesota institute bulletin. Quoting
his own language, he says: 81 want
firm, hard seed potatoes from which
no sprouts have ever grown. To Sc
cure these, the potatoes should be
put in cave prepared especially for
this purpose and so arranged as to
control the temperature in winter
and summer, keeping it as near to
the freezing point as possible. Put
the potatoes right in on the earth
and keep them dark. In this way

THE STRAWBERRY BED.
Some Suggestions on How to Garry
the Plants Successfully Through
the Winter.

Still another inquiry comes about
the winter care of strawberries. All
such questions are very timely just
now. The strawberry bed should be
where no water can settle during the
winter. If there is the least danger,
dig shallow channels around your
bed, and, if necessary, through it.
Now cover with such material as
you find most convenient-either
sawdust or cut straw or compost.
The latter should be well decomposed
mixture, and it will do no harm if
there is proportion of coal ashes
in the pile. Autumn leaves make an
eXcellen. covering, but must not be
laid on too thickly. You can hold
them in place with the canes cut
from your raspberries. Remove
these and burn in the spring. Saw
dust is first rate material, especial
ly after it has been used for bedding
in horse stables. In the spring it
need not be removed, except to rake
thin on the plants and leave it in the
path. A good compost can be treat
ed in the same way. Strawberries
must not be covered so thickly as to
hide the tips of the leaves. We are
gradually getting varieties with roots
strong enough to prevent their heav-
ing in the winter. We may be able
to entirely dispense with covering
when this evolution is carried lit
tie further.-N. Y. Tribune.

TROUBLE BEGINS.

Trouble begins with the first back.
ache. Backache comes in many
forms. Sudden twinges of pain, sharp
stitches, slow exhaustive aches.
Most backache pains are kidney

The Kidneys fail to perform the
duties nature intends them to do
and the warning of trouble comes
through the back.
Neglect the Kidney warning, grave
complications will surely follow.

Things to Do in the Fail

Clean up the flower garden of all
trash. Don't let it winter over in an
uncared for condition. Remove
stakes, trellises, etc., and during the
winter give coat OF oil and paint.
Burn the dead plants and leaves to
destroy insects aud their eggs. Fix
up branches liable to be injured by
winds or ice. The seeds and bulbs
of many plants are well worth saw
ing for next years planting or TO ex-
change for novelties or give to
friends. 1t will soon be time to apply
the mulch of stable manure around
roses and other shrubs. Late sum-
mer and fall shrubs should be
pruned to good form.-Farm and

THE ART OF BUDDING.
Every Fruit Groweg Should Be an
Expert in 1t, Because 1t Leads
to Success.

Budding consists in taking bud
from one tree and inserting it under
the bark of another tree. The union
of the two, the bud and the stock,
take place at the edge of the bark
of the inserted bud. For this rea-
son the bud should be inserted as
soon as cut from its twig and before
it has time to dry out. The bud
should also be full, plump and well
matured. The stock should be in
active growth, so that the bark will
slip easily. In cutting the bud
sharp knife is required, as a clean
smooth cut is desirable. The knife
is inserted a half inch above and
brought out the same distance be-
low, shaving out the small wedge of
wood under the bed along with the
bark. The wedge is no hindrance
to the union and should not be re-
moved. The leaf is always clipped
off. To insert the bud make T.
shaped incision just through the
bark. Raise the bark carefully
without breaking it, insert the bud.
Practice will give ease and dispatch
to the operation. The bud must be
held firmly to the stock both above
and below it, being careful to leave
the eye of the bud uncovered. Rafia,
bass, candle wick, or waxed cloth
may be used for tying. In about ten
days if the bud takes, the bandage
must be removed, or the stock will
be strangled and the growth him

HORTICULTURAL HINTS.

Il large orchard poorly planted and
poorly tended will not produce as
good results as fewer trees well Gull
tivated.
It's z good deal more trouble to set
trees in a Straight row than in
crooked one, but they look better and
ara more easily cultivated.
Many unoccupied fence corners
might be growing trees if set there.
In few years they would be- a
source of beauty and comfort.
Whenever root grating is used in
ths winter the plants should not be
set out in the spring unless the
gratis have grown together.-Rural

Boxe. for Shipping Ann1ex-

Judging from letters received, fruit
men are taking increased interest in
the box as an apple package. The

Pacific coast apple package, in which
hundreds of bushels of Oregon and
New York during the past season,
are 2O1s by II by 9A inches. The
ends are three-fourths inch hard pine.
The apples may be put in tightly, and
the thin, springy sides hold them
firmly without bruising. The box is
put together with 80 rough wire
nails IA inches long. This package
has been carefully studied out by
the shippers, and is said to give
satisfaction all around. = Midland

they have kept all right for me.
Make your cave of any size, shape or
kind, if it is nothing more than a
pit in the ground. Cover with poles,
a few corn stalks, a little straw and
six to eight inches of earth.
"a ventilator four feet long and
7x7 inches outside measure should
be extended through the roof near
the center, projecting IS inches be-
low the roof. 1t is made of four-inch
board and is eight inches wide by
four feet long, in the form of a
loose box without ends. A square
plunger should be made, of inch
board, the same length as the VEN
tilator, using four-inch boards six
inches wide by four feet long. Nail
"A board that just fits over the bot
tom of the plunger and adjust over
the top, so that when the plunger
is placed in the ventilator the board
on top will prevent it's slipping into
the cave. The plunger should be
filled with sawdust and wrapped with
a piece of old quilt or padding, so
that when it is in the ventilator, the
hole will be completely stopped and
consequently frost proof. Put a
screw hook into the bottom of the
plunger and on it hang a reliable
thermometer, so that you can go to
che top of the cave, draw out the
plunger and see what the tempera-
ture is down below without having
to open it. The outline of my cave

tration.
''In order to keep the temperature
uniform, throw snow all around the
cave as soon as the soil is frozen
hard, and cover it with straw or old
hay. The snow will keep the cave
warm in winter and cool late in
spring. If nights are very cold, keep
careful track of the temperature, and
If it gets below "a degrees pull out
the plunger and hang a lantern on

but will be more vigorous and as
rufe will outyield the other kind"
Tlis plan has worked very well and
can be recommended. Of course, as
Mr.. Fairchild intimates, every vege-
table grower must work out the de-
tails of the plan himself. The sug-
gelti0ns are excellent It is easily
possible to construct a cave of this
kind very cheaply and to keep fruits
anti vegetables very late in the sea-
sob. If it is necessary to dig poto-
toes, for example, early before cool
weather comes, the use of ice in this
way will keep them until wanted-
