Preserving Pumpkins. 



A corre.spondent at Union Bridge, Mary- 

 land, under date of May 9lh, says — " in look- 

 ing over the Farmers' Cabinet to-day, I find 

 a request from one of your subscribers for in- 

 formation as to the best method of preserving- 

 pumpkins through the winter. I answer, 

 that the way to preserve them for one or more 

 years, is, to pull them before the frost comes 

 on, and keep them in a warm dry room. 

 This is my method, and I have now several 

 large ones in my house, in a fine state of pre- 

 servation ; and my neighbor, Mr. Davis Light- 

 ner, one of your subscribers, has them two 



years old at this time, weighing 43 pounds, 

 each. They are very fine." 



Short Horn Cattle. 



A distingui^he(i American agriciillurist, now in Ku- 

 rope, lias prevailed upon Mr. J. Wlutaker, of Ynrks^hire. 

 England, lo send a pari ol his superior herd of Diirbani 

 Short Horns fto' this country, for salej by auction, and 

 that lliey may be expected to arrive early this summer. 

 The sale will take place in the neighborhood of Phila- 

 delphia. Mr. VVhitaker is the most celebrated and suc- 

 cessful breeder of " Durham Short Horns" in Enaland. 

 and it is principally from his stock that Colonel PoueH 

 and the Ohio importing Company have made Iheit 

 best selections for some years past. They are univer- 

 sally acknowledged to be the finest cattle ever brought to 

 this country. A rare chance will, thereloie, soon he 

 oflered for obtaining choice and pure animal.s, without 

 the risk or e.xpense of a sea voyage.
