But where It Is intended to be used dur- ing the winter a good plan is to cut off the stems and outer leaves, trim the beads about as much as if preparing to cook and then wrap each head se(4- - arately In eeveral thicknesses of nQwa paper. This will exclude the air. Aft- er lining a barrel with paper pack the wrapped heads closely in It and after all are In curer with paper. The bar- rel must be kept in the coolest part of the cellar. Dampness will not harm the keeping qualities. To keep tomatoes pick the largest specimens that have begun to show color as soon as the vines are cut by frost, but before the fruit is frosted. Handle carefully to prevent bruising. Wrap each tomato separately In soft paper -mud place 1n shallow boxes or on a shelf one layer deep. Keep In a cool place, secure from frost, so as to prevent ripening. If a few are brought out at a time and placed in n warm place they will quickly ripen. They can thus be kept for several weeks after killing frosts. Au occasional turning under of the whole crop Is one of the beet paying methods of farming.
