HiIiocks Of veqetab b les.

At this time of the year farmers are
busy making miniature mountains on
their holdings, mountains that will be
scattered over the countryside before
the winter Is over.
The mountains in question are those
formed of vegetable produce that must
be kept for several months, and sold
as occasion requires. Potatoes, beet
root, carrots and turnips are raised
from the ground in September and
stored.
The farmer calls his hillock Of vege-
tables clamp" He makes 1t on a
piece of high ground near the home
stead. SO that 1t may not be flooded.
and many a big grower has clamps a
quarter of mile long.
First. shallow ditch is dug on the
piece of land selected. The base OF this
is lined with straw, and upon the
straw the roots are heaped up firmly
and carefully, till they resemble an
elongated cone.
Over the sides of the cone more
straw is laid and on that again earth
or. better still, turfs, with their grassy
sides inwards. Bricks will not keep
out frost, but straw will. and a we'll.
