THE FARMEE AT HO4IE.-The
farmer who has a place for everything,
and keeps it snugly, neatly there, must
be a happv farmer. When he wants a
thing, whether the paiut-brush or the
saw. he knows where to find 1t; he gets
It without loss of time, without aggra-
walton. and without a light at night !;
he knows Just where it Is, sort Of
pocket where he needs but his hand to
get it. Thus he has many. pockets
about him. His tools are all in one,
each In its place, and each place the
handiest (if possible) for the tools to
be used. or better, in the place where
used. So is the cellar arranged-dif-
ferent things in the same compart-
ment. He knows, and not only he,
but the housewife and the children,
where to get what Is wanted, and that
without lghtinga candle. And this
cellar is frequently visited. 1t IS a
place that it is desired to be in, clean
and fresh with good snells.-smells
that you know are clean, and every
thing looking clean. Here Is the lar
der. plenty of everything, and not too
much canned fruits of various kinds
you look at it every time you pass 1t
with recognition of Its quality, and a
thought of summer. Apples, If you
have no fruit room, are good in eel
lar. We love to see them there. They
make you provide the proper air
neither too damp nor too dry; neither
too warm nor too cold but colder IN
some departments (WheTe the fruit Is
wanted for spring, the room above un-
warmed), warmer where you want
fruit for immediate use. The butter
is also IN the cold department; scare the
cream aud milk, and the sauces, and
many things which no one knows bet
ter where they ought to be than the
housewife, who will be found singing
through the range Of the cellar, and
her daughter initiating her In this re-
speet, and in many rspeets. Is not
such cellar inviting enough to make
one sing? Is It not healthy ?-just
what you don't find in cellars general
ly, which the sooner you get out of the
better, and you never stand on the
hint. But do not make parlor of
your cellar; let it still be a cellar
And let the chamber be a chamber-if
there is a chamber, aud not all cut up
into rooms. 1t should be a place where
one desires to be for an hour or two
with bis work, especially in summer,
when upper rooms are pleasantest.-
But the garrett that is sacred we
will leave that to the children and the
grandame The kitchen, what shall
we say of this ? Why only that it is of
piece with the rest, a place that one
delights to dwell 10, so that the whole
house is such a place with its various
oompartments-the barn the same, the
stables-aye, the stables ! and the
wOOdhouse, wagon house, Well-house
(if Out-dOOTs). We have mentioned
all except the unmentionable. the pig
pen. But go there. A kid-glove Wri-
ter (SheltOn) comes down, and owns
that "theTe is an indescribable pleas
ure in looking into pig pens" We
blessed him at the time for saying
such truthful thing. A neat piP-

The rest then falls upon you. We
have known some pig-peus to be posi- |

pOrkeTs in them. but the sickness
otherwise as well. FoOminess, airBess |
