A.G. Thomas, Mariana Miller and others
gave interesting sketches of their recent
trip to the Friends Conference of Saratoga

Volunteer. E.S. Iddings read from the Rural
New Yorker that by wrapping
large green tomatoes in paper and putting
them in a cellar, bringing a few
up to the kitchen window to ripen as
wanted, they sometimes last till January.
The same article said plant onions now
for Spring use. Some of our members plant
in the fall with good results.

Forethought

Gave some good instructions
for work this month; saving vegetables
planting bulbs and peonies. Cut off
asparagus tops and give it and
Rhubard a good winter over-coat of
of stable manure; as soon as frost has
cut down the stems, Cannas and Dahlias
should be lifted with a spading fork,
cut off the tops about six inches above
the ground, store in a dry cellar;
cover with earth or dry sand
or saw-dust. Be sure your onions
are perfectly dry when you store
them. Reduce the supply of bugs
by plowing the garden this month or
next; scatter a little grain and turn
in the hens. Harvest cabbage before freezing
weather. Sweet potatoes should be
dug an stored or marketed without
delay.
