Keeping Grapes Under Ground.

A correspondent of the Grape Culturist
says: Many years ago, while in the nur-
sery business, customer wanted some
vines of me, and while they were being
dug up he asked me if kept any grapes
over winter. This was in March, OF
course he got negative reply. Well,
said he, when | come next week for trees
l will bring you some along. The thing
seemed but joke to me at the time, but
of course l thanked him for the kind
offer. True to his promise, when he
came week or ten days thereafter, he
brought me some. Not few berries as
might have been expected, but at least
five pounds. They were Isabellas and
Catawbas, perfectly plump, sweet and
fresh, although most of the berries had
dropped from their stems. With the ex.
ception of very slight earthly taste, they
were certainly excellent,
"The question, of course, was asked,
how do you keep them thus The reply
was, that in the fall, as late as the cold
will admit, they were gathered in clear
day when perfectly dry; a box about eight
inches deep was taken, a layer of green
leaves was taken from the vines and laid
on the bottom on these layer of grapes,
then layer of leaves again, until the box
was full, finishing with layer of leaves.
P1t this Lid On tight, and bury deep
enough to escape the frosts of winter. Of
course it must be where water cannot set
tie into the box.
"The stems of those grapes were quite
fresh when given TO me. 7 The man told
me his father-in- law had kept them thus
for years. Why l never tried it is now a
mystery to me, but If spared until fall,
I will do so, / think" - L4lgL z
To this, the editor of that journal adds
1--WE have often dug up punches of grapes
on layers, late n-the fall, when all the
grapes on the vines had been frozen long
ago, and found them plump, sweet and
fresh. Wedo not doubt the method is a
good one, and worth a trial" ~

success, and 1t depends on three or four
rules, by observing which believe one
can make good living by hens and tur-
keys. rI.1 rr
1. I give my fowls great range.
Eighteen acres belong to them exclusive
ly. Then the broods have the range Of
another big lot, and the turkeys go half q
mile or more from the house. The
eighteen acres of poultry yard is rough
land of little use for tillage. 1t has a
pond init and many rocks, and bushes,
and weeds, and ssandy places, and ash
heaps, and lime, and bones, and grass, and
a place which ! plow up to give them
worms. w trdl r .iffFr. ,... a..,f.. . -.
2. When a hen has set take her box,
throw out the straw and earth, let il be
out in the sun and rain few, days and
give 1t Q good coat of whitewash on both
sidesl In winter, whcnitis very cold, i
have an old stove in their house and keep
the warmth above freezing. There is also
an open fire place where l build fire in
cool, wet days. They dry themselves, and
when the fire goes out there Is bed of
ashes for them to wallow in, Summer
and winter my hens have oil the lime,
ashes and sand they want
3. Another reason why have such
luck is because my poultry-yards receive
all the scraps from the Metropolitan Ho.
tel. Egg making is no easy work, and
hens will not do much of it without high
feed. They need just what a man who
works requires--wheat bread and meat.
Even when wheat costs SO l believe in
feeding 1t to hens.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD
Physical Treatment Of Children.

THE physical treatment of children Is
important, but simple II one wishes to
make 1t so. The main points are bathing,
regularity Of eating and sleeping hours,
simplicity Of food and outof door exer-
The habit Of daily bathing should. not
be suspended whena child is few months
old. II Is very little trouble, and done
handily, takes little time. My experience
has been that it's mot best TO .bathe q
child in entifely cold, water Il When he is
pat for thegAfsttifnes in B bath.tub the
water should be of such temperature
that he mty not perceive the transition
from the alr 10, the water, have often
heard mothers say that their children
could not be bathed, that they screamed
as soon as they touched the water. There
are, ordinarily, but two causes for this,
either that the child was not introduced
to the batli tub early enough in his OK
istence, or that the temperature of the
water was such as to shock him.
When your baby is thoroughly Accustomed
to the tnb, you can gradually reduce the
Temperature of the water until, after q
few months, you can washlhim in almost
cold water. Y 4
A child should eat regularly and simply,
but should have somevariety of food. /
have found that child soon tires of one
article If confined 20 it. tEtAFs n
Bread and milk, bread and butter, diff
ferent forms of toasted bread, boiled hom
my, Indian mush, cracker panada, simple
preparations of corn starch, rice boiled in
milk, and roasted potatoes, make suf1.
cient variety. Give your child plenty ol
exercise in the open air. If you live in
the city, all can say is, do the best you
can; but if you live in the country, with
space about you and gates well secured
put your child out of doors and let him
wander about at his will. In summer
leave him out all day, If he enjoys il; in
winter, wrap him up, and send him Out
in moderate and pleasant weather.
Let him get as dirty as he pleases. Hi
face will be kept pretty clean If he spends
enough time in the open air to prevent
his taking bad colds, and if you do mo-
allow him to eat between meals.
1t is somewhat trying TO see your little
boy or girl reveling in the midst of pil'
of dirt, especially when you remembel
that Mrs. o., whose children always lool
as If they had just issued from bandbol
retirement, may possibly call and gaz
with virtuously reproving eyes; but nev
er mind that. You are living for you
child; you know what is best for it

yourself to be moved from the scours
| which you know to be right, by an,
false fear or false pride.-Hera!d 9

The Alpine Village.

A LITTLE Alpine village nestled down
at the foot OF huge mountain OF rock and
snow, and there its inhabitants lived on
securely with no thought of danger. BY
and by it was rumored that there was o
great tissure in the rock which overhung
them. Engineers were sent up to exam
inc it, and reported that it was gradual
ly widening. The people of the village
were warned of the fact, and urged to re-
move.
But they would not believe they were
in any danger. The rock had always
looked fearful to strangers; but they were
used to it. No danger of its coming
down in their day. In vain were sub
scriptions started to aid them to remove.
They did not feel any need for alarm.
Last July the terrible crash came. 1t
was in the dead of night, / think; and
quite number Of persons were buried
beneath it; and scores of poor families
who escaped with their lives were left
homeless and penniless. 1t was supposed
that the unusual heat so melted the ice
that the earth which thus far had held
the rock in its grasp was washed away.
How sad that they had not taken warning
before
Yet we see people just as blind to their

young men usually have more than one
friend to warn them of their danger. But
do they believe them, and change their

stroyed by wine and wickedness, but
never believe the same rock of ruin hangs
over their heads. M

The Preservation of Timber.

ID = II L Il .
=, No matter how timber is seasoned, it is
likely to absorb moisture, though not SO
aptto retain it or be injured by it. Among
the means for preventing absorption
the most common is painting; and where
ornament, as well as use Is desired, no
better means can be adopted than the ap-
plication of the usual oils and pigments.
But there. are circumstances where il
would be improbable to paint with such
substances, or where they would be al
most useless. Hence science and inge-
nuity have for years been tasked to pre-.
serve timber. Although we seem to be
reaching a perfection in this art not
known for, centuries, yet we are even
now possessed of no greater knowledge
than that OF the Egyptians, ages ago.
The theory Of the decay of timber in.
wolves large series of chemical terms,
and calculations of probabilities and pos
sibilities The practical part is that We
know timber is composed of hard and soft
rings. The soft rings absorb moisture,
are thus rendered liable TO oxidize, and
oxidization produces rot. There is an
other, species of decay called "dry rot, 4"
caused by acids left in the wood. That
is simply result of the use of unseasoned
wood. Here, too, is strange scientific
paradox. Wood, even if not fully season
ed, is not 60 liable to decay if it be ex-
posed to current of air. AS this soft
ring is the primary cause of decay, it be-
comes necessary to fill 1t with some fluid
that will keep off the moisture, and at the
same time coagulate any albuminous INST
ter or neutralize any acid therein. Coal
tar has been largely used to accomplish
this end. 1t contains large quantities of
carbonic acid. This acid has the power
of coagulsting all albuminous matters, OF
preventing oxidation and destroying in
sect life. Hence its value. In using it,
the timber should be well seasoned, dried
and put into the heated tar. F a
1t is folly to dip posts only the length
they go into the ground and not at all
above. Decay usually commences close
to the earth. Dip them the whole length,
or for 10 inches above the ground, paint
above that for the entire height, and be
sure to paint the top. Next to coal.tar
in value and cheapness is lime. Season
posts, or other timber, and soak in hot
milk of lime-that is burnt lime and
water-then paint thoroughly. The Pa
cific Railroad Company used chloride oi
zinc for their ties. They bought the com.
mon zinc oxide, dissolved in weak muri.
attic acid, and then Weakened the solution
more in water. The ties were first seas.
oned in a steam chest, then plunged into
heated bath Of this solution of zinc. This
preparation is too costly for the farmer
