KEEPING PUMPKINs.-Pumpkins for stock
are best kept IN dry loft with the flooring
quite open, so as 10 allow the air to CIRCUS
late as freely as possible between them
Were ii not that they take up SO much loom
we should prefer storing them 10 a single
tier; but usually for want of this, when
large crop is TO br secured, they must be
piled upon each other. In this case, we
would recommend their not being placed
more than three or four deep. If piled
together in too large heaps, they gather
moisture and rot rapidly. When frozen,
they may be preserved long time; but they
should be cooked before giving them TO
the stock, otherwise they may dolhcm great
injury. On the whole, we prefer feeding
our pumpkins as fast as possible after riPen-
ing, and before the cold weather sets IN
