WE WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW! 
If you don't see what you want , ask for it. 
Beans and Clover Seed.—W ill you please state 
through TnE R. N.-T. the prospect of bean and 
clover seed market this fall and would It be advisable 
to hold them for a later market? Beans and c'over 
seed are a failure through this State. e. m. 
Leslie, Mich. 
Ans.- In New York State, the largest bean growers 
estimate the crop as not over two-thirds of a full 
crop. In general It may be estimated as a short 
crop. As showing the conflicting character of re¬ 
ports, and the difficulty of anlvlng at accurate re¬ 
sults, a short time since a western agricultural paper 
published the fact that the bean crop of Michigan 
this year Is a heavy one. Our correspondent says 
that It Is a failure. Who know» 1 As for clover seed, 
a western hay trade journal recently published re¬ 
plies from 1,300 dealers In Ohio, Indiana. Illinois a id 
Michigan. These four States produce most of the 
clover seed crop and surplus. The crop of Mam¬ 
moth Is a trifle below an average and Medium will 
be less than two-thirds o( an average. There Is 
generally twice as much Medium raised as Mam¬ 
moth. Illinois has the poorest crop of both k'nds, 
being very poor on Medium. Michigan has suffered 
from dry weather and grasshoppers, and promises 
almost as poorly. Indiana has a poor crop of Me¬ 
dium but an average one of Mammoth. Ohio has 
the best crop. Fully an average of Mammoth and 
only a trifle below of Medium. The quality of the 
crop Is better than usual. A trifle over half say that 
farmers have none to sell or are not disposed to sell 
now. A quarter say they are selling a little now, 
and nearly a quarter say they are selling freely. 
The reports are almost unanimous that there is no 
old seed left In the Interior. The high prices of the 
past two season caused it all to be marketed. There 
Is less surplus than for several seasons. A quarter 
say they will have to import some: a quarter say 
they have only enough for home use, and 40 per 
cent say they have only a small surplus. Ten per 
cent report a large surplus above home require¬ 
ments. 
BURYING CABBAGES FOR WINTER— t. What Is 
the best way to bury cabbage? 2. When the most 
favorable time to do so? 3. Will It do to cut the 
heads off with four to six Inches of the stems? 4. 
Cabbage burled last fall all rotted. The hearts 
rotted with parts of the stem: what was the trouble? 
B'ort Madison. Iowa. w. h. h. 
Ans.— 1. In this locality the favorite method Is to 
pull the cabbages, when dry If possible, stand on 
their heads right where they grow, In beds six or eight 
feet wide with the heads close together, having the 
surface level so that they will stand evenly. 2. As 
late as the sea on will admit without danger of their 
freezing In. When severe oold weather threatens, 
throw six or eight Inches of soli over the cabbages, 
and after the ground Is frozen scatter a little straw 
or litter over the surface to the depth of three or 
four Inches so as to prevent excessive freezing. 3. 
No, better leave the roots all on. 4. You dont’t say 
how It was buried. Probably covered too early, or 
else was wet when burled. Cabbage Is Inclined to 
heat, and It covered while the weather Is warm, or 
too deeply, Is inclined to rot. Some freezing doesn’t 
hurt It. 
Keeping Cider Sweet.—W ill you give directions 
for putting up cider to keep It sweet through the 
winter? Boiled cider is objectionable to many. 
j. a. t„ and others. 
ANS.—On page 572 of The R. N.-Y. a most excellent 
method of putting up cider and grape juice was 
given, and It Is claimed to avoid that objectionable 
boiled cider taste. There are numerous methods 
given of keeping the cider sweet In barrels. To begin 
with, It should be made from clean, sound fruit, and 
should be free from pomace or sediment. Never add 
any acids or any of the chemical preparations offered 
so freely nowadays. Keep In a cool place; In cool 
weather, the elder may be kept perfectly for a long 
time by keeping It where It will nearly freeze. Ex¬ 
posure to the atr hastens fermentation, so that It Is 
best to keep It from the air as much as possible. In 
one method, this Is accomplished by putting In a 
half pint of sperm or sweet oil warmed, which 
spreads over the top and excludes the air. Another 
method Is to All the barrels full, place in a cool 
place, leave out the bungs and allow the pomace and 
sediment to work out, keeping the barrels always 
full, then bung up tightly. Another method Is to 
rack off the cider after It has settled and put It In 
clean casks. Some Alter the cider through clean 
charcoal and sand. Another recommended method 
Is the addition of one half pound of ground mustard, 
and one pound of horse radish to each barrel of 
cider within 24 hours after the cider Is made. Some 
of these methods ought to help our Inquirers. 
ONIONS AND THE GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT.— 
1. How is the onion crop this year compared with 
last? 2 Where can we get the Government crop re¬ 
port? A. A. k O. M. c. 
Wayne County, N. Y. 
ANS.—1. We are unable to give accurate informa¬ 
tion as to the yield, on account of conflicting reports 
from many localities. This much is certain, how¬ 
ever, the crop Is a short one, and probably much be¬ 
low that of last year. Many of the onions arriving 
In market are In very poor order. Good ones sell 
well. Prices certainly should at least equal those of 
last year 2. To answer this question, we give a let¬ 
ter from the Statistician of the Department of Agri¬ 
culture: 
United States Department of Agriculture, 1 
Division of Statistics. L 
Washington, D. C. | 
The edition of the monthly crop reports Is quite 
limited, and will admit of general distribution only 
to our correspondents, the press and agrlcultu*al 
writers, the Intent being to place the matter In the 
hands of those who can give It the widest publica¬ 
tion, or who from their relation to the office or the 
public, have especial use for the more detailed in¬ 
formation. The synopsis, on the other hand, con¬ 
taining. all the more Important matter relative to 
crops and issued several days In advance of the full 
report, Is generally sent to all asking It.
