The New York Post tells the following
story:
About thirty years ago few citizens
of New BralHtree, in Massachusetts,
met together and resolved that the hes

TOO many OF the young men i'll this place

OF the matter, and satisfying themselves
at the enterprise they propose would
not prove paying one, they subscriheu
some 81 900, buiit hotel, furnished it,
and engaged landlord to run it free OF
rent. Soon after this reform the people
of the town came to the conclusion that
it was an Improbable business TO farm
out the poor of the town, as had long
been the practice, 10 the lowest bidder,
and at a town meeting they voted to buy
a poor house farm, and put the poor at
work. This was also carried into effect

Harvesting suckwheat.

Buckwheat is the most peculiar of the
grain family in the manner of its ripen-
ing-a considerable portion being in the
milk state when another will be fully
matured. The point is to cut it in that
stage which will savr the most. and this
is when about half of the grain has
turned brown If the straw were less
sensitive to cold than il is, harvesting
might be delayed longer. but when
stricken by frost the growth is entirely
arrested and the straw disposed to an
early decay, preventing any farther ma
turing OF the grain. But, cut when "a
portion is in the milk and set up in
lunches in the field, the juice of the
straw, OF which it is pecuiiarly rich.

Valuable suggestions,

The following suggestions are taken
from Mrs Haskilrs Household Dsiey-
clopedia, and may be read with profit by
every housekeeper:
Coffee, Tea, pepper, and spices are
left to stand open and lose their
strength.
The cork is left out of the molasses
jug, and the flies taken possession.
Vinegar is drawn IN tin basin until
both vinegar and basin is spoiled.
Dried fruit is not taken care of in sea-
son, and becomes wUrmE.
Potatoes in the cellar grow, and the
sprouts are not removed until they be-
come worthless.
Pork spoils for want of salt and beef
because the brine wants scalding.
Bones are burned that would make
soup.
Clothes are left on the line to whip to
pieces in the wind. .,;
Brooms are never hung up, and soon
become spoiled
Carpets are swept with stubs hardly
Fl to scrub the kitchen.
Water is forgotten and left in pitchers
and allowed to freeze in winter.
