It Keeps Vegetable* from Freealne During WtittiSiad from Grow ing During Stammer. One of th6 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:" "I want firm, hard seed potatoes from which no sprouts have ever grown. To se cure these, the. potatoes should be put in a cav.e 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 2-7«5N IT PIT SHOWING ICE BOX, ETC 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 18 inches be low the roof: It 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 ^iepliinger and adjust over the top, -so that when the plunger is placed in the ventilator the board on top ,will prevent its slipping into the cave. The plunger should be filled with sawdusfand wrapped with a piece of old quilt or padding, so that when it is in the ventilator, the hole will be completely stopped an? 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 'the 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 8 Shown in the accompanying illus 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 34 degrees pull out the plunger and hang a lantern on the lower end. and the cave will warm up in a little while. If a cel lar is used for storing potatoes or vegetables, a large lamp will warm It up during extremely tsold periods. "When spring coines I use ice to keep, the temperature of the cave as 13W as possible.: A galvanized box two feet square and 18 inches deep, with a drain off into the ground, will answer as the ice box. It noth ing better Is at hand, use a washtub and throw a blanket over the ice. I have kept seed potatoes in this way until June and they were as hard as when dug in the fall. Such sewl will sprout more slowly and eome up later than soft potatoes, but will be more vigorous and as a rue •will outyleld. the other kind." Wilis plan has worked very weir and can be recommended. Of course, as Mr. Fairchitd intimates, every vege table grow.tr must work out the de tali* of the plan himself. The sug gestions arc excellent. It Is easily poJkiblc to. construct a cave of this kM very cheaply and to keep fruits -awl vegetables very late in the sea soli. If it Is necessary to dig poto torn, for example, early before cool weather comes, the use of ice in this way will ka*p them until wanted.— An*rican Agriculturist.

Every Pratt Grower Should Be aa. Expert in It, Became It Leiii to Sncceas. ,' Budding consists in taking a bud from one tree and inserting it under the bark of another tree. The union of the two, the pud 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 smootli 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 a T shaped incision just through the bark. liaise the bark carefully without breaking it, insert the bud. Practice will give ease and dispatch to the operation. The bud must Vie held firmly to the stock both above and below it, being careful to leave the eye of the bud uncovered. Raffia, bass, candle wjck, 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 hin derer.—Midland Farmer. THE STRAWBERRY BED. I Some Saggeatlona 'on How to Carry the Plants Successfully Through ,*%• the Winteri-..^./. Still anotheir inquiry' comes about the winter care of strawberries. All auch questions are very timely jqst 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 a proportion of coal ashes in: the pile. -Autumn leaves make an excellent 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 chn 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- a lit tle further.—N. Y. Tribune. FOR PULLING CABBAGES. A Simple Little Tool That la Warrant ed, to.

The points of the fork are tapered down' and the corners are rounded, off the handle, and you are ready for busi ness. The cabbage can be pulled and, bv a little care, .left bottom: upward. —A. C. Lake, In Orange Judd farmer. Boxes for Shipping Apples, Judging from letters received, fruit men are taking increased interest in the box as an apple package. The inside measurements of the: typical Pacific coast apple package, in whteh hundreds of bushels of Oregon and. New York during the past season, are 20% by. 11 by 9% inches. The: ends dfs three-fourths iheh 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 32 rough wire nails lj4 inches long. This package has been carefully studied out by the shippers, and Is said to give satisfaction all around. Midland Farmer '. .' -i, ..
