SELECTING SEED CoRN.-It is o common
practice to select the best ears for planting.
This keeps the corn good, and Indian corn
suffers less, perhaps, in quality, than any
other grain. Yet, there is improvement even
here. The very largest and ripest ears should
always be selected, and if the crop to select
from is not a good one, seed should be Sc
cured from other sources. In no case, if
possible, should imperfect or deteriorated
seed be used. And change, even if the quail
ity is good. should be made from abroad
A new infusion is an advantage, in tho vege-
table as in the stock department. This is a
principle discovered, but we are neglecting
1t constantly Col0aan's RuruI World.

SEWING GrRLs.-A sewing girl in London
lived as long as she could ON two shillings
a week, and then she died by gradual star
walton. Two bottomless chairs, broken
table, a heap Of rags, and corpse was all
the landlady found in the poor girls room
one morning. Our sewing women need
but one more turn Of the screw to bring
many Of them to a life worse than DEATH
In all the fields offered for the exercise of
Christian philanthropy, none presents SO
pressing claim as that amang the sewing
women.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
FEW sEAsONABLE HINTS.


Tba time is now upon us when we must
nreDare for winter. Not day should be
lost. MANY plants, we find, that are sup
posed can be protected only in the gre =,
house. will stand the winter il ,,a do,,rn
and carefully covered Wit, two or tbree
inches of earth. An such plants as the n.y.
drangers SO projected, will come out in the
spring h~oter than if kept under glass.
Even the unusually severe temperature of
last winter did not effect ours in the least.
So with what are called half-hardy roses
they will keep in the most perfect order.
The strawing-up of roses, which we see in
SO many places, is the worst thing that can
be done with them. If the winter is moist
they are almost certain to be smothered,
and under any circumstances are never
benefited.
Small Caiptomeria Japonicas should
have thick Irvine run around the branches
and loosely drawn together and then straw
ed on the sunside only, leaving them open
te the nerth. So with Irish Yews. If
roses which are strawed were allowed an
unobstructed northern exposure they
would stand the winter.
Straw loosely thrown over Mahonies, Sc
cured against being blown away by the
wind, they will come out in perfect order.
Mahonies growing too large may be
pIullcu It's llluCu DIS ucSlfeO.
Raspberry canes should be pruned for
next years growth and laid down in the
row and covered with couple of inches of
earth so as to secure them in their place.
1t will benefit all raspberries to lay them
down through the winter. Fig-trees must
be taken up bodily, and laid in trench
and buried. Three inches of earth over all
plants are better than any greater quantity.
Spinach sown in the fall should be slight
ly covered with straw and bean poles laid
over the straw to keep it in its place. Thus
treated, this best of all green's will give the
earliest of all green vegetables in the
spring.
A parsley bed surrounded with four
boards from eight to twelve inches high,
with board top, or a sash which should
be covered in very cold weather, will af-
ford a supply all through the winter. If
the top is of boards it should be removed
occasionally for light and sun.
Satisfy, like carrots, is better to remain
In the ground and use as may be needed.
Strawberry beds should have light COW
ering of stable manure; but where the
ground is low and moist, slight covering
of straw is better, or they will be winter
killed.
Chrytanthemums should be taken up as
soon as the frost interferes with their
blooms, and placed in sand in cellar or
pit. Much complaint is made of their de-
struct6n during the winter, which we
have reason to believe is done by mice, as
all the protection that can be given to them
does not seem to be of any use.
Gladiolus bulbs should be taken up and
buried in sand. The mice are particularly
fond Of feeding upon them in winter, and
many of them will not stand a severe tenn
perature.
If these homely directions are followed
they will accomplish pretty much all the
good mentioned. -Gerndntoacn IeEegrapk

KEEP THE STABLES C1EAN.-Always
clean out the droppings of your horses in
ought to be removed SO far from the stable
that the air will not be poisoned by the
emanations from them, or the sills and the
sidings of the barn will be rotted by COM
ing in contact with them. We have al

manure into heap by the side of the barn
door, slovenly, wastefm and detrimental to
the health of the horse. With a broom
