HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
We invite eomminlpatlnn frim M reraon who are
InterentM lu matters properly belonifluirto this de
partment. Storing' Potatoes.
Every method lias been tried by
farmers to store and preserve their pota
toes through winter, and we may say
until potntoes come again. It Is the
most valuable of all vegetables, though
here and there we find a writer who
undertakes to tell us that It Is of little
value though universally consumed
in all civilized countries, as well as
where it cannot be grown it is import
ed, which can be done long distances
without injury, when ventilation Is
attended to.
In storing potatoes several methods
are adopted, yet they are all practically
the same, the object being to protect
them against frcezing,whether buried in
pits, or stored in cellars. The first
consideration is to keep them in perfect
darkness ; the next is, the bins should
not be too deep not over three feet to
produce warmth and cause them to
sprout. When stored In the field,
straight trenches are dug, say twenty
feet in length and four or five feet wide
which are filled to the depth of three
feet with potatoes then well covered
with straw, on top of which put eigh
teen or twenty Inches of earth. In a
pit twenty feet long there should be
three gas escapes or ventilating open
ings, which should be plugged with
straw and covered with a board set at
angle to turn the rain. If in cellar,
barn or otherwise, the bins Bhould be
covered with rugs, old carpeting or
starw. Those intended for late spring
sales should be frequently examined,
and all sprouts removed ; for soon as a
potato begins to sprout it loses its solid
ity, dryness and quality
English way of Preserving Fruit.
A new method of preserving fiuit is
practised in England. Pears, apples
and other fruits are reduced to a paste,
which is then pressed into cakes and
gently dried. When required for use,
it Is only necessary to pour four times
their weight of boiling water over them,
allow them to soak twenty minutes,
and then add sugar to suit the taste.
The fine flavor of the fruits is said to be
retained to perfection. The cost of the
prepared product is hardly greater than
that of the original fruit, differing in
supply and price of the latter ; the
keeping qualities are excellent, so that
it may be had at any time of the year,
and bears long sea voyages without
detriment, so there is no waste.
Sowing on Horseback.
A writer in the Country Gentleman
says : "Numerous have been the instruc
tions for preserving the almost " lost
art" of sowing grain by hand, there
remains one mode that has escaped
mention, and which, mentioned, will
probably be derided by those who have
not tried it. I allude to sowing on
horseback. Sulky rakes, sulky rollers,
etc., are regarded as useful contrivances
for the saving of human labor, but none
of your correspondents appear to have
thought of making a horse preform the
labor of walking and carrying seed bag
and sower to and fro across the field
during the operation of sowing the
grain. And yet, a long experience, the
writer has found that he could distrib
ute seed more regularly from the saddle
than on foot, and with far more ease
and comfort as any good horseman
will find after a short practice. Grass
seeds, however, being lighter than
grain, are best sown on foot."
T3T Corn loses one-fifth by drying,
and wheat one-fourteenth. From this
the estimate is made that it is more
profitable for the farmer to sell unshell
ed corn in the fall at 75 cents than at $1
a bushel in the following summer, and
that wheat at $1.25 in December is equal
to $1.40 in the succeeding June. In
case of potatoes taking those that rot
and are otherwise lost together with
the shrinkage, there is little doubt that
between October and June the loss to
the owner who holds them is not less
than thirty-three per cent.
C2FI never had very good success in
making corn meal puddings until I
tried the recipe which I give here. It
tasted like the good old Yankee pud
dings in the East. One quart of sour
cream or milk, one teaspoon ful of soda,
two eggs, two heaping teaspoonfuls of
white sugar, a handful of raisons,
thickened into a batter with two-thirds
corn meal and one-third flour. Steam
it two hours and eat with sugar and
butter, or sweetened cream.
O Close breeding has a. great deal to
do in causing diseases among fowls
particularly in case of roup which is
not always the result of colds.
