Can Be 8tored For Winter Use In a Barrel Out of Doors. When the cellar is too warm and you must devise a plan to keep a few cab- bages for family use try putting them in a barrel out of doors, says a con- tributor to the Iowa Homestead. Puta headless barrel into the ground, leaving the top slightly above the surface, and put in the close trimmed heads. Leave room enough at the top to put in a little clean straw or hay—or papers— and spread an ollcloth over it or some boards to keep the rain out. It does not harm even if the cabbage freeze, and you can open your cache any time in winter and take out a head. But one may say: “Oh, that's no good. I've tried it and they all rotted.” The answer to that is, “You may have tried it, but you didn’t do your work carefully.” Failure will follow shiftless disregard of rules. In following any such plan use a lit- tle good horse sense. You must plan to keep water out of the barrel, so let it be tight enough to keep out seepage. Then so fill up and level the surface that the drainage will be away from CABBAGES WORTH STORING. Charles Moller spent the week-end with his wife near Aure. - N. B.

Three teams ‘were required to do the work. the barrel. Another point is that the cabbage must be carefully trimmed, re- moving every broken or decaying leaf and putting in only sound, smooth heads. If you put in any rubbish you not only invite decay, you make it certain. It is well to put a few sticks in the bottom to leave an air space. And do not try to see how closely you can pack them, but rather lay them in loosely and so place them that there Herman Thom, wife and son and Mrs. Cossentine went to Blackduck on Monday. : ~ |Grygla Friday. will be air spaces all through. If you aim to keep the frost out it will require considerable covering, and if you do that you will be likely to make your cache too warm and that will induce rot. The best way is to plan to keep the cabbage close to the freezing point and far better have it frozen than too warm. But if it freezes it must be kept frozen, for it will never do to have it freezing and thawing out a half dozen times during the winter. After the cabbage is in and you have filled up the top of the barrel with a little clean straw or hay, rounding it up in the center, then put over a plece of oficloth or heavy canvas. This 1s to turn off the water. Have it large enough so that all of the dripping will be outside the barrel. Then turn a square box over it and it 1s done. The box should be just big enough to hold the cloth in place. Barnyard Manure. Barnyard manure has value on the farm aside from that as a fertilizer. It improves the physical conditions of the soil and makes it easier to handle. Its decay produces heat and its pres- ence aids chemical and bacterial proec- esses. Moreover, it absorbs and holds a large amount of water and helps to aerate the soil. The benefits of these indirect aids to plant growth are in some cases worth as much as the fer- tilizing power of the manure. These are observations made by F. L. Kennard, agronomist in the north- west experiment station at Crookston, Minn., in response to numerous ques- tions received from farmers. 4 ‘When it is added that barnyard ma- nure is worth perbaps $2.50 a ton and that each farm animal produces from five to seven tons per 1,000 pounds of live weight each year, it is easy to see that as a fertilizer the material should not be wasted. The best practice is to haul the stuff directly from the barn to the fields. If this is done there is little loss through fermentation or leaching. Marketing and Co-operation. It 1s not enough to grow a good crop or even to grow a good crop at low cost. To make a big crop a business success it must be disposed of as effi- ciently as it is grown—must be so graded and packed as to meet market standards and so marketed as to bring the farmer the highest current price. The farmer who is too suspicious to get together with his neighbors in or- der to do co-operatively what no one can do alone is sure to pay dearly for his incapacity for team work.
