Keeping Cabbage in Cellar.
If room in the cellar is scarce take two long slats and nail them across the beams twelve inches from the ceiling and six inches apart. Hang the cabbages between them with the roots downward. Next make a trough by nailing two boards together and nail it below the cabbages, so the roots will stand in it. Fill this with clay.—Mrs. James Deasy, Maine.
(Cabbages would keep plump and nice if set into such a trough on the cellar bottom, the trough to be filled with damp soil or muck.—Practical Farmer.)
