Pleasant Homes.

AS we travel through the country
we have nothing to regret so much
as the almost entire want of home
embellishments, such as shrub, vines
and climbers, lawns, evergreens and
shade trees. There is nothing in ma
ture SO refining to man as to be sur
rounded at home with these beauties,
most of which are within the reach
of every one who is able to own real
estate. How lamentably true ii IS
that not over one in twenty Of all
our farmers throughout the country
but are almost destitute of anything
deserving the name of ornamental
ton about their dwellings, and still
more, are destitute of either lawn or
pleasure grounds. If a farmer
should devote an acre of Land to
lawn and pleasure grounds judici-
ously, but rather sparingly planted
with evergreons, interspersed with a
few cherries, pears, Siberian crabs,
or deCidnOus ornamental trees, and
alsoafeW towering shrubs and vines,
such an acre would soon be worth
any other ten acres on the farm.
Children all love flowers and orna-
mental shrubbery, and above all,
they love- beautiful grass plat or
lawn for q playground, where toll
and labor can be dismissed, and re-
creation and true enjoyment drawn
into their fill. 1t requires little to
induce children TO learn to love to
decorate home. Give them the op-
portunity, and with but little outlay,
they will increase the value of that
acre one hundred fold. When shrub.
berry and evergeens arc once planted,
they will need good culture for a few
years, and after they get q good
start, the plat may be laid into blue
grass, and soon a beautiful grass plat
and shady lawn will bless the entire
household for all their labor and ex-
pense. Compare this picture with
the bleak, bare grounds of nine
tenths of all our farmers homes,
and we should think it would need
no argument to convince all.

THE Pot ON THE FIRE,-Thcre is
one mode of preparing food in gen
eral use in many parts of Europe,
which we should do very well more
generally to adopt, that is "gentlc
simmeriug." Iii every, or almost
every, French household there is the
pot an ten. This "pot on the fire."
after the manner otthc old-fshioned
"digester," occupies a quiet little cor
ner of tho stove or Fireplace, 1t can
hardly be said to boil, but it simmers
on gently, very gently, for hours.
There is the receptacle ofmany q lit
tie bone, whether the trimmings Of
poultry or butchers meat. 1t mat
ters not, every little stray fragment
OF wholesome meat finds its way
there, A bit of liver is considered a
great improvement, and any vegeta-
bles that happen to be about, add to
its pleasant flavor, whether the tops
of celery, Jerusalem artichokes-
which, par excellence, makes it deli
cious-or otherwise carrots, turnips,
lecks. etc.

Wise Words.

Foolish spending is the father of
poverty. Do not be ashamed to work.
Work for the best salary or wages you
can get, but work for half price rather
than be idle. BE your own master,
and do not let society and fashion
swallow up your individuality. Do
not eat up or wear out all you can
earn. Compel the selfish body to
spare something for the profits saved.
Be stingy i'll your own appetite, but
meroiful to others necessities. Help
others, and ask not help for yourself,
See that you are proud, but let your
pride be Of the right kind. BE too
proud to be lazy; too proud to give up
without conquering every difficulty;
too proud to wear a coat you cannot
buy too proud to he IN company you
cannot keep up with in expense; too
proud to lie, or steal, or cheat; too
proud to be stlngy.

Help 70 next Winters Cattle TOOOd

Every acre Of ground cleared Of
oats, wheat, or any other crop har-
vested 20 that it can be plowcd and
cultivated in July can be made TO
help through the winter. Some arti-
fetal manure on the ground put in
close to the seed in rows or in CONT
guilty any way, would bring a good
crop of turnips after the soil had
been thoroughly cultivated, which
might be kept in cellars or
otherwise, to hold out till spring,
Rape sownimmediatcly after the har-
vesting OF grain, will produce q
heavy mass Of food which sheep
young cattle, Sc, could feed on late
in the autumn, and would thus save
feeding with hay or fodder so soon,
and this would seem to shorten the
winter very much. Rape is grown
extensively in Canada. Those who
have a prejudice against turnips,
rape, and all green food for winter,
can sow or drill corn thick, and II
they put plenty of manure they may
save 4 great deal Of very valuable
fodder, which probably may be worth
more per acre than any Of their hay
crops. Doubtless there ia land
enough which will be doing nothing
till next spring to grow fodder, tur-
nips, rape or other food, to support
half the animals in the United States,
and the land would really DO benefit
ted in the cultivation and growth Of
the intervening crop, Let any one
reading this statement, look round at
his neighbours flclda, where he will
see hay that ought to have been put
in the barns a month ago oxen and
horses lying still which might have
plowcd and got ready the fields for
planting with the aforesaid crops,

Housing Farm Implements.

Let us see, says a writer in the
1mertcaR RurGl Home, how much
it costs not 10 furnish shelter for
farm tools. The woodwork seldom
wears out; the timber of q pillow OF
roller or harvester, II it we're wasted
only by the ordinary wear in doing
work, would last, on average, proba-
bly, a dozen ears. If exposed to the
weather all the time four years
would be the longest term of its du-
ration. Sheltcring implements, then,
will make them last three times as
long as if unprotected. Now, farms
of one hundred acres require tools
to the amount OF $500 at least; and
most Of our farmers have that much
capital. invested, ItcaremNy housed
and painted so obey receive no dam
age from the SNOW or rain, the wood
work Of one set Of implements, cost
ing $500, will last as long as three
sets unhoused, costing 81 800. Now,
the difference between these sums at
simple interest amounts to about ST.
400, a great deal of money to be paid.

But, s%upposing it were TO be made
altogether of fresh materlals-Which,
indeed, in France it rarely is-this
would be the proper recipe; Putt" q
gallon of water, into this either three
or four pounds CT shin of beef, or any
similar thing; add to this an onion
or two, or some leeks, carrots, oroth-
er vegetable, three or four teaspoons
full of salt, one of black pepper, three
cloves give it one boil up; skim
carefully.
Now cover the pot and let ii cook
gently for four hours at the least.
About every hour throw q wine
glassful of cold water into it to make
it clear. Taste; it may require lit
tie more salt or pepper, according to
taste. Pour this soup over toasted

Preparing Dried Fruit for Market,

The following directions for select.

dried fruitstor market will be found
useful to all who desire to obtain the
best prices:
Dried Apples select sound fruit,
not too ripe. BE careful to prepare
them clean. Let there be no speck'
OF the skin on any part and shove
sill, be sure they are well cured.
Dried appleS coming TO market with
specks Of skin, or cores and seeds
still on, never meet ready sales at
market price. SLICED apples al
WAYS pays for the additional trouble,
but where this is not done, let the
above, as to cleanliness, be observed.
This done, and dried of bright co.
lor, they will sell readily for good
prices.
Dried Cherries, with seeds in, al
WAYS sell. They should be carefully
! picked when ripe, thoroughly dried.
and kept as clean as possible, Seed,

What Vaccination Has Done.

Through the increase of intelligence
three great diseases, the Orien tai
plague, the scurvy, and the smallpox,
a contemporary says, "have been
comparatively consigned to the past.''
With regard to the latter disease, it is
hard 10 imagine its destructive viru-
lence in old times. Its average annual
death rates seventy years ago, in coun-
tries where 1t was most closely observ-
ed, was about 5000 to 1000, 900 of pop
ulation, and nearly one-tenth Of all
who died, died Of this disease, What
vaccination has effected may be infer
red from the fact that in Copenhagen,
in twelve years before the introduction
Of vaccination, $500 died Of small
pox ; from the year 1902 to 1878, q
period of sixteen years after vaccina-
ton had been compulsory, only 1853
persons died of smallpox over the
whole Kingdom of Denmark, out of a
population of 2,000,0 OO.

CLEANSE THE SKIN. 1t Isl curious
fact illustrating the necessity of clean.
linses, and Of keeping the poles of the
skin open, that If q coat of varnish or
other substance impervious to moist
ure be applied to the exterior of the
body, death will ensue in about six
hours. The experiment was once
tried on a child at Florence. On the
occasion of Pope Leo the Tenth's ac-
cesslon to the papal chair, it was de-
sired to have a living figure to repre-
sent the Golden Age, and SO a child
was gilded all over with varnish and
gold leaf. The child died in a few
hours. If the fur of rabbit or the
skin Of a pig be covered with a soln-
ton Of indian rubber in naptha, the
animal ceases to breathe In a couple of
