wintcring Cabbage.

One Of the simplest ways of keeping
cabbage Is to store in an orchard or
some sheltered place, often alongside
a liberal use of straw. The cabbages
are stored with their stems on md are
placed head down and as close together
as possible. Two or three tiers are
often made, the heads of the second
tier being placed between stems of the
lower, II so on, the piles being made
of any width and length desired. The
whole is covered with leaves, salt grass
hay or straw and 4 little soil, rails,
brush or litter. Small unstable heads
when stored in this way in November
will continue to develop during winter
and frequently sell as we'll as any in
February. Small quantities may be
stored by plowlng out two or three fur
rows ten or twelve inches deep on Il
well drained site and placing the heads
with their stems up as close together
as possible. Some prefer to lay them
pile them up two to two and Il half
feet high, bringing them to a point.
The pile is Their covered with straw,
salt grass hay or a thin layer Of straw
and then several inches of soil. They
are stored before freezing, and when
be covered with strawy anure or any
other litter to keep the soil frozen I'M

An Electric Incubator.

Electricity mas been applied to incu-
baton by Otto Schultz, an electrician
of Strassburg, and is the result of three
years Of experimentation. The appara-
tus is made for so, 100 or 200 eggs, and
Is designed to obviate the difficulties
connected with the ordinary form Of
incubator. The manipulation of the ap-
paratus is very simple, and it's mainte-
nance depends only upon an uninter-
rupted supply of electricity.
An automatic attachment keeps the
temperature within one-tenth Of a de-
gree of the normal temperature of in
cubation. The degree of saturation of
the air is kept in the same manner.
Under ordinary conditions, ninety
chickens can be counted on out Of 100
eggs %incubated. The quantity of cleo
ITCHY required is very small. for an in
cubator holding fifty eggs, ten to TWEEN
ty watts being sufficient, depending
upon the temperature Of the outer air.
For raising the chickens after they
are Matched, an electric mother" has
beer devised. The upper part is de-
voted to the freshly Matched chickens,
while the lower part is arranged so
that the chicks can run around on the
ground and at the same time find heat
and protection when they desire. The
electric incubator has already proven
very successful.

Value OF Co-operation.

Sir Horace Plunkett, member of the
British house of parliament. who has
been In this country recently, said in
an address to agricultural students
that there was mot a single county,
not a parish, in Ireland where the
farmers are not completely revolution
tZing the entire business of farming by
Introducing cooperative methods" And
1t might be added that there is scarce
ly a farming district in the United
States where more benefits canon be
realized by a closer cooperation of the
farmers. The farmers are understand
Ing each other better each year and
are coming closer together in all mat
tiers which pertain to their mutual in
~terests, but there are still greater posi-
bilities ahead. Describing the 900 CO.
operative organizations of peasants in
ireland which he was instrumental in
establishing for the purpose of compe-
tftfon with commercial Industries, fore
ing out middlemen, compelling rail
roads to provide better facilities, and
debating more favorable legislation to
parliament, done: "The first thing was
to introduce a system of agricultural
education which extended into every
branch Of the industry, teaching the
farmer, for instance, to purchase every
thing he requires, Implements and ma
chinery, of the very best quality. They
combined to consign in bulk and dis
tribute their goods in the market. They
combined to raise working capital for
their operations. They combined to
own breeding animals. They did just
what o are doing here, brought sci
ence into farming by getting it into the
schools. They had the same system of
instruction and experimentation sup
piled by your government"

Test seeds Mt Home.

The Department of Agriculture in
order to aid farmers to determine for
themselves without much trouble the
termination value of seeds has issued
a short bulletin on the subject. A very
simple apparatus for sprouting seeds
is described. It consists of a shallow
basis in which is placed a small fiat Of
porous clay. The seeds, after having
beer soaked, are laid between two
sheets Of moist blotting paper or fan
mel. A pane of glass overs the dish,
which should be kept in a temperature
of about 70 degrees. Atmosphere Of
an ordinary living room is suitable if
the apparatus is left near a stove at
night. Several kinds Of seeds may be
tested at once at a trifling cost. The
bulletin cautions the farmer against
extremes Of heat or moisture.

Rfpening Green Tomatoes.

Often when frost comes there are
many tomatoes on the vines that are
nearly full grown, but that have not
yet rlpencd enough to send to market.
1 nave picked such tomatoes and put
them in a cool, dark place to ripen
slowly and sent them to market when
the supply had u low n prices u
high, says a writer in New England
Homestead. But for home use a bet
ter way is to pick the smaller ones
from the vines and then hang up the
branch in the cellar, darkening the
windows and keeping the place cool.
They will ripen slowly, and one may
indulge in ripe tomatoes in January,
when those grown in a dollhouse and
not as large or any better flavor are
selling at % cents a pound or more.

Frohman, the American theatrical
manager, said recently after his annual
London business season was over: Two
thirds of the communication in London
that two or three years ago was settled
by correspondence or calls IS now done by
telephone. The result is a mans work is
more concentrated and he gets more time.
In perhaps 100 or more engagements /

with three authors for plays without hav-
ing ever met Them"

Dairymen prefer to milk before they
clean the COW and horse stables. In
this way they miss the dust and odors
which arise when cleaning and feeding

There is no standard for judging the
guinea fowl. They should, however, be
of uniform shape, great activity and
reasonably good producers Of eggs.
Their entire egg crop is produced in
summer.
In setting out the ley fruit trees be
sure and leave plenty of space between
them. You must make allowance for
the growth of the years. Crowded trees
interfere with one another and have
their fruit bearing possibilities checked.
The potato storeroom must be dark,
cool, we'll ventilated and dry. There
should be a double floor beneath where
large quantities are piled together.
There should also be opportunities for
ventilation at the walls, and at inter-
,als through the pile.
Alfalfa in the orchard should have
every show possible. Allow the fall
growth to lie on the ground, and then,
after the ground dries up in the spring,
the coat of dead vines should be burn
ed. There is no better money maker on
the farm than alfalfa.
The most money is made ou Of
horses that are well bred and free from
blemishes. Why raise any other kind?
AS has been repeatedly said it takes
lust as much time and trouble and feed
to raise a poor horse as a good one,
and see the difference in the prices for
which they are sold.
A good condition powder, to be fed in
limited quantities to the brood sow, is

say that all tonics should be given only
when the animal Is out of condition.
