it B i lmgg | PRICE. PUTNAM, - - (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) The other day I had occasion to spend a_couple of hours in a farm- house cellar, partly working and part- iy walting for the team outside to being the potatoes we werc binning. The waiting intervals gave me pienty of opportunity to look around the spacious cave and take 2 sort of in- vemtory in my mind of its contents. The house was one fairly typical of many New England farm-houses on remeote hill farms. It was not large, as eclty mansions go, but decidedly big as compared with most city tene- ments—perhaps twenty-four by forty with an “ell” and a back wood- The cellar was the same size as the house, just deep enough =o that six-foot man could walk around in it without hitting his head. The huge chimney foundations. of rough field stone lald without mortar but in solid plers, rested on the cellar bottom and teok up some space. But the chinks md crevices between the stones had been availed of to insert quaint ‘bracket: mostly “natural found in the woods during eutting times. From them hung many small articles—al- any could have been the sam ce had the piers uilt with mere economy of i i of the things which I noted on were crooknecks: strings of onlons: a net with 1| dozen lemons. bought last season and stili just as hard fresh as months ago: numerous baskets with garden gieanings, enough In quantity to warrant “bothering” with, but worth shving in the zrower's estima- tien: & few measures handy to have in the cellar when some hurried call fo® measurinz ub a small jot of rdéots. #te, came: n lot of bag-strings, saved from old bazs and ready to tie up new lever wanted: quite a col- Jection of miscellaneous tools. want: in the cellar a8 eisewhere, of = character not to be injured dampness. And so on and on. i “out- door” were two casks filled not to be used as a drink replenish the big vinegar bar- its contents were depleted by or sale to some neighbor. over them hung a_fibre two- measure and a fibre funnel, both me to rust or to the action of actds. Each barrel was pro- not with a cider-wasting “plug” with a tieht wooden faucet. At my right was a row of empty barvels, kess and tubs or firkins kept the cellar because its moist air prevented the staves from drying out *nd_causing leaks. them was the potato bin, Taleed three feet from the bottom, so as to be out of reach of the water sometimes seeps into the cel- Tt was capa- i i i ! lar was_divided midway of by a stout plank partition. potato bin mangels, domestic use but mostly for This was raised but a few the bottom. as it was practically emptied be- spring thaw brousht water, because all the space celling was wanted for rge suppi: alcove made at the ] i ARE YOU GOING TO PUT OFF BUYING YOUR NEW FALL AND WINTER CLOTHES ANY LONGER?

I may add, at the risk of being misunder- stocd, that there were also a few bot- ties of home-made cherry-rum and cne of boughten whiskey. The last had been standing there for more than ten years and was still three-quarters full ‘when I saw it. The crab-cider was Yor use at the Christmas dinner or other highly special occasion. The other three sorts of bottled goods were sclely for medicinal or emergency vse. The compartment on the oth: of the plank partition was rcughly floored and divided up inta ' several large closets, or “cubby-holes” as the farmer himself called them. In one were stored half a dozen barrels of apples saved from the fall picking fot winter use. They included, of course, Greenings and Baldwins and Russets. Also enough Northern Spies, Spitzen- bergs, Pound Sweets, Mackintosh Reds Jonathans and Gfllifiowers for eating purposes. Nor must a barrel of Yel- low Belleflowers be forgotten—an ap- ple which, while scorned by city buy- ers because it is not red, is yet known to many country housewives as mak- ing_the best “apple-sass” and the tenderest and spiciest baked apple of any sort grown in our latitude. side Another. compartment contained fifteen or twenty bushels of onions in slatted bushel crates, and including not only the white, red and yellow globes, but a small crate of the little \buttons,” highly desirable for pick- es. Another had hanging up in it in roughiy made cord nettings a dozen or more winter squashes and some ple pumpkins—hung up_in this way nbot only to keep them dry ‘but to protect them from the rodents who are crazy for their seeds. In a third were still more bushel lcrates filled with carrots and table beets, and some baskets of tomatoes. These last, picked just before a frost but while still green, and wrapped each one in a small square of old newspaper, will often ripen in the dagk and furnithing excellent salac !n'ul!erlll for late fall and early win- or. Most of this celiar was flagged with huge flat stones from the felas. But one alcove Betweeh the chimney pler and the outeldé walls had only th original eerth floor. In -this corne was piled the stock of turnips ‘for kitchen use—white and yellow ruta- bagas, purple-top strap-leaved = and, golden ball varieties. The moisture of the bottom kept them from .dan- ger of becoming “pethy” before win- ter was half over. - On a broad shelf, convenient resch bub oat of te, veag o nit ™t it things, stood a row of stone “crocks,” =ome filled with eggs in water- lass, put down so when they were plenty and cheap: some with cucumber piek. 1es in salt, ready for freshening as de. ired; “some with “chow-chow" piccallilly” and other outlandish cone Qiments put up during the growing season for winter supply; some with | “sourkraut"—I had almost forgotten 16 mention the double rows of eab. bages, hung up by their stems, head down,' from nails In the slespers over the turnips, probably forty or firty of Undarneath this brea toaa (he Dork Ak cotmied. best bersais,’ DANIELSON AND DANIELSON Goorgette Jette Successful . in 8tock Cempany—New Pasted for Greek Church—Werk of Purple Cross Explained—Cattle Ralph C.

Past experience had shown the farmes and his_capable wife that their corafert during the shut-in season depended upon getting ready for it, beforehand. and having within reach an adeguate store of necessitles. They are both old-tashioned in the sense of believing ‘a stitch in time saves nine; that “a little too much is better than nough; that “forewarned is that sturdy self-help is better than timid pendence on othe e and that “the Lord helps thos Who help themselves. : Now. just comoare thelr situat with that of the ordinary city ten ment dweller. That latter chap must always live from hand to mouth. He can't -lay in a winter's supply of meats and groceries or vegetables be- cause, for one thing, he seidom has money enough to buy them at any one time and, for another thing, because he has no place to store and keep them, if he couM get them. He has no ground to raise them and no time to care for them, growing, it he hed the land. He must buy his supplies from day to day at comstant- 1y varying but always hish prices, and trust to the corner grocer for having what he needs and being will- ing to trust him for it, in the inter- vale between pay-days. There is no question that living in the city has its advantages. Any one who lives there knows it, and we who can’t live there would be foolish to deny it. But T want to ask you if a contem- plation of that farm-house cellar which T have partly deseribed and catalogued does not suggest that ifv- ing in the country, on a backwoods farm off on a cross-road among the hills, has also =mome advantages’ | doubt if that farmer of whom I am talking 'gets anything like as. much money in the course th year as even a day_laborer steadlly employed in the city. T believe that he probahly works harder and more hours to the day. But the taxes he pays in 1i/u of rent are a mere bagatelle in comparison: kerosene is cheaper than gas or elec- tricity: water rates he never even heard of: and he is as independent of the cormer grocery as he of the boche kaise He gets less money than he would for similar labor and skill in the city, Derhaps a third or even a haif less. He actually needs very much 1 perhaps not a quarter as much ~for actual living expenses. Tf put to it by exceptional éireum- stances he and his family could live the whole winter through—Ilive whole. somely and health€ully—ori the stored up supplies of his own cellar and pan- try without having to spend & single cent. : In actual practice, their ¢heap accumulation . of the grosser supplies saves them s6 much money that thes are able, evén In winter, command some imported luxuries suth as the tenement dweller can't afford, because he has to pay out all his. money. for potatoes and cabbas f .
