CABBAGE STORING is SIMPLE
CheapIy Constructed Bank or Hillside
Root Cellar Is Only Shelter
Needed-keep Place Cool.
By K. A. KIRKPATRICK, Minnesota
Experiment Station.)

By K. A. KIRKPATRICK, Minnesota
Experiment Station.)
Cabbage storing is rather simple
and easy. The shrinkage is small. A
cheaply constructed bank or hillside
root cellar, or a basement under al
most any farm building, is the only
~storehouse necessary. This should not
be too dry and should be a place
which could be kept at a temperature
Of about 40 or so degrees in the early
part of the season. This is often ac-
complished by opening the doors to let
In the cool night air and closing them
to keep out the warmer air during the
remainder Of the day. Later, Of course,
the doors must be kept closed contin-
uously.
In storing, most growers place the
heads in a cellar with all leaves and
roots attached. Many market garden
ers have a better plan. They cut off
the stalk as though preparing the
heads for market, but leave two or
three rough leaves to protect the more
tender parts. They then pack in or
binary cabbage crates and rack these
crates up, leaving a gangway every
third or fourth tier for air circula.
ton.
This work is not particularly diff
cult, and will certainly pay the grow
er well if it increases the selling price
of his production eight or tenfold. For
the last few years, it has been market
ed and harvested at from SIS to $3.50
a ton. The purchaser has stored it
and sold it during the late winter for
$50 or $50 a ton.

MANS SHORT TERM OF LIFE
In Comparison With Other Animals
He Does Not Nearly Live Out
His Allotted Time.

A rule which holds fairly true among
che higher animals is that an animal
lives five times as long as it requires
for his muscular system to reach it's
full strength. The dog is fully devel-
oped at between two and three years
of age, and lives fifteen years; the
horse reaches his prime not later than
five, and if he escapes overwork and
i'll usage, lives to be twenty-five and
even thirty. In fact, the rule seems to
be an understatement of animal ex-
pectation of life, rather than an over
statement
The one conspicuous exception is
man, who seldom reaches his full mus
cular strength before he is twenty-five
and counts himself living on borrowed
time if he passes the age of seventy.
If man were as well circumstanced in
this matter as the horse, dog or cat,
his average term of life would vary
from one hundred and ten to one hun
bred and twenty-five years.

face.

had been deducted, however, the
cost per clean round to the manufac-
turer of the wool he wanted was 41.32
cents for the American fleece and
44.69 cents for the imported-a differ
ence of only 3.37 cents. 1t may have
cost the foreign grower a little more
to prepare his fleece, but he more
than recovered this in the higher
price he sold it for.
The bulletin suggests Is rules for
the wool grower which, it is said, no
n can afford to neglect If he Is at

1. Adhere to a settled policy Of
breeding the type of sheep suitable
to the locality.
2. Sack lambs, ewes, wethers' and
all buck, o very oily feeces sepa-
rately. If the bucks or part Of the
ewes or wethers have wool of widely.
different kind from the remainder of
the flock, shear such separately and
put the wool in separate sacks so
marked.
8. Shear all black sheep at one time,
preferably last, and put the wool in
separate sacks.
4. Remove and sack separately all
tags, and then allow no tag discount
upon the clip as a whole.
s.. Have Slated floors in the hold
ing pens.
6. Use a smooth, light and hard
glazed lpreferably paper Irvine.
Z. Securely knot the string on each
fleece.
s. Turn sacks wrong side out and
shake we'll before filing.
8, Keep wood dry at all times.
10. Make the brands on the sheep
as small as possible and use a brand
ing material that will scour out.
II. Know the grade and value Of
your wool and price it accordingly.
IL. Do not sweat sheep excessively
before shearing.
10. Keep the corral sweepings out
Of the wool.
IA. Do not sell the wool before it
is grown.
Is. When all these rules are fol-
lowed place your personal brand or
your name upon the bags or bales.

REDUCE WASTE IN FEATHERS
Fowls Should Be Picked to Save AMI.
NAL OiIs-Price Depends on
Methods Employed.

Generally speaking, there is proba-
bly, less waste of geese and duck
feathers than of chicken and turkey,
because the prices are considerably
higher and the uses more numerous,
but it is probable that many bring a
lower price than they should, become
of the imperfect methods Of sorEing
and curing.
In the first place, the birds should
be dry picked, so as to save the ami
NAL oils which give the feathers their
life" The reduction in grade be-
cause of scalding is not SO great with
geese and duck feathers as with tur-
keys and chickens, provided proper
care has been exercised asnd the birds
immersed for only a very short time
and the drying properly attended to.
The feathers from the two kinds Of
birds should be kept separate, but
otherwise the method of handling ID
simple.
Dry-picked goose and duck feathers
should be placed on the floor and
spread out for two or three days,
Keep the feathers from pure white
birds by themselves. Use special care
to have the floors scrupulously clean,
for white feathers especially, since
the whiteness is what gives them the
value. Each day the feathers should
be turned over until thoroughly dry,
The quilts and coarser feathers should
neve be included with the body
feathers.
Every poultry keeper should save
the feathers. They may seem a small
item, but one will be surprised what a
nice little sum the saved feathers will
bring,

Sir Thomas Upton said at a provi-

All the blame for high prices is put
on US dealers. You'd think. the way
some people talk, that we dealers were
as false in U patriotism as the chap
who was sanding his sugar the other
day with his errand boys help.
The errand boy, lifting a scoopful
of sand, asked:
The usual proportion, sir?'
"No, Joseph, Of course not the
boss replied sternly. "The usual pro-
portion in days like these? Joseph.
where's your patriotism?'
Then he sighed and added:
"'Only half the usual proportion Of

portion as long as our gallant troops
at the front have such need of sand
