Instructions:
Preservation of Pumpkins through the greater part of the winter, if sound and well ripened, is easily attained by sowing them in a mow of dry hay or straw, or placing on a barn floor and covering with any light forage. A dry cellar will frequently keep them sound; but these are usually too moist for this purpose. They ought occasionally to be looked after, and any showing evidence of incipient decay, should be immediately used. All the partially ripe, small, and imperfect should be fed soon after taking from the field.
