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, eYergreens and
shade trees. There is nothing in ma
tuTe 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 it 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 evergreens, interspersed with
few cherries, pears, Siberian crabs,
or deciduOus ornamental trees, and
also few 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 q beautiful grass plat or
lawn for q playground, where toll
end labor san DC dismissed, and re-
creation and true enjoyment drawn
into their fill. II 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 aDd eveTgeens are once planted, |
they will need good culture for few
years, and after they get q good |
start, the plat may be laid into blue |
grass, and soon beautiful grass plat |
and shady lawn viii bless the entire |
household for al 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 il would need |
nO argument TO convince all.

Help to next Winters Cattle Food.

Every acre of ground cleared of
oats, wheat, or any other crop har-
vested so that it can be plowed 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 tuTnips after the soil had
been thoroughly cultivated, which
might be kept in cellars OF
otherwise, to hold out till spring.
Rape sown immediately after the haT-
vesting of grain, will produce q
heavy mass Of food which sheep
young cs tile, &C., 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 prejudice against turnips
] rape, and all green food for winter
! can SOW or drill corn thick, and il
| they put plenty of manure they may
save a great deal of very valuable
fodder, which probably may be worth
more per acre than any of their hay
| crops. Doubtless there is 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 be benefit
ted in the cultivation and growth OF
the intervening crop. Let any ore
reading this statement, look round at
his neighbours fields, where he will
see hay that ought to have been put
in the barns month ago; oxen and
horses lying still which might have
plowed and got ready the fields for
planting with the aforesaid crops,
end every third arabic field he passes
will be covered with weeds grown
among the stubble of the preceding
years and abstract more than a corn
crop or any other second planting
would COuR try Gentleman.

Preparing Dried Fruit for Market.


The following directions for select
ing, curing, packing and shipping
dried fruitsfor market viii 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 specks
OF the skin on any part and above
all, 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.
Tor, 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'
| less" cherries belong to the most fan.
ey of domestic dried fruit, and al
| ways find ready market, at good
prices. They require to be carefully
| d1ied, without being burned, and
| packed in their natural state. If mix.
| ed with mOlasses, or "doctored" il
any way, it is detected at once, and
they have to be sold at very reduced
prices.
Dried Plums should be handled il
| the same manner as cherries.
| Dried Blackberries have recently
become quite staple, and in many
sections the best paying crop tina
grows. When ripe they should b'
nicely dried (not burned) before
packing. Ifpacked before thorough
ly dried they breed worms, become
mouldy, and lead to general dissatis
| faction.
Dried Raspberries always bring ,
better price than blackberTies, anC
should be handled in the same way
| Ounces and Pears, cut fine, tho
roughly peeled and cored nice, bring
fair prices.
Never mix different qualities il
the same package, as 1t is always dis
covered, and the price will be based
upon the poorest quality in the pack
age. Barrels are preferable for ship
ping; and place a distinguishin!
mark upon each package of the diff
erent grades. Let all barrels be cor
Iectly tared on the side as we'll a
the head. Follow these direction
and the fruit will class with the beG
grades, and the increased price Wi
amply repay the trouble. Mar
plain directions on every package
name Of article, weight, tare of couDr
and forward invoice of what, hoy
and when shipments are made.

Housing Farm Implements.

Let rs see, says a writer in the
american Rural Home, chow much
it costs not 10 furnish shelter for
farm tools. The woodwork seldom
wears out; the timber of a plow or
roller or harvester, if it were wasted
only by the ordinary wear in doing
work, would last on average, proba-
bly, dozen ears. IfexpOsed to the
weather all the time four years
would be the longest term of it's du-
ration. Sheltering 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. If carefully housed
and painted so they 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 81 300 Now,
the difference between these sums al
simple interest amounts to about ST.
400, a great deal Of money to be paid
even in twelve years, by a farmer foI
totally neglecting to house and paint
his implements. If they are shelter.
ed part Of the year the los is less in
proportion to the amount Of shelter
but any neglect causes loss. One
hundred dollars will build a respecta.
BILE Toulouse, and $40 worth o.
paint on the tool yearly will keeI
them well covered. But we mus
confess ourselves open to critisism OF
this point as well as our neighbors
tits one of the most iusidious ways
OF waste in the whole economy o
the farm.

THE PoT ON The FIRE.-There is
one mode of preparing food i'm gen.
erai use in many parts of Europe,
which we should do very well more
generally to adopt, that is 'gentle
simmeriDg." In every, or almost
every, French household there is the
pot an Jeb. This spot on the fire, y
after the manner ofthe old-fashioned
"digester," occupies a quiet little cor
Ber of the stove or fireplace. 1t can
hardly be said to boil, but it SINNERS
on gently, very gently, for hours.
There is the receptacle ofmany a lit
tie bone, whether the trimmings of
poultry or butchers meat. It mat
tiers 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
otherwise carrots, turnips,
leeks. etc.

Care of Sucking Colts.


In the HoFseaaa's Manuel is the
following article on a subject whf,h
we fear is too little considered and
the evil referred to guarded against.
"Those who raise colts, usually
exercise care in selection of good
stock to breed from, but a great
many neglec5 to give the colts proper
attention during the hot weather,
while they are running with dams
II is not uncommon to see those that
were healthy and well developed in
early summer, looking puny and poor.
and their hair falling off before au-
tumn. The trouble arises from al
lowing the colt to draw milk while
the blood of the mare is in a high
state of heat from violent ekertion.
When the dam is used in hot wealth
er upon the farm or road, so as to heat
her blood, the colt should never be al
lowed to suck until she has fully cool
ed on. Let him fill himself before
the mother is put in the harness. and
if it is important that he should ac-
company the dam, tie him at her side
so that he will be unable 10 draw
milk until he is liberated: for it IS
much better that he should 90 hun
CRY few hours than to take his food
while it is in fevered state.
Z" If the mare is to make a long dis
lance on hot day, and return at
night, it is best to leave the colt at
home, and draw the milk from the
udder by hand once OF twice during
the day and upon returning, then al
low the colt to fill himself gradually
as the milk is secreted.
"Colts injured by heated milk sci.
dom recover from it for a year or two
and many times never. They become
reduced in flesh, get lousy in the fall
and during the first winter of theiI
existence when they need health and
strength, as under any circumstances
1t is the most critical period of theiI
growth, they have just life enough tC
move, and the second summer, the
| proper time for Development, il

But, supposing it were 10 be mad

But, supposing it were TO be made
altogether of fresh materials-Which,
indeed, in France it rarely is-this
would be the proper recipe: Put in a
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, or 9th
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 it cook
gently for four hours at the least.
About every hour throw a 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
crusts of bread. Both soup ard
meat will be found to be delicious.
The whole secret of this lies in the
gentle simmering in a covered YES
sci, whereby the flavor is wholly pre-
served, and nothing is Iost.-Sciea-

Save the Corn Fodder.

We are Of the opinion, says the
Germantown Telegraph, that there
ia not the attention paid to the cur
ing and saving of cornfodder, that
it's value demands. Every good far

cut and steamed it is ss good for
them as the best hay, and really

Where is the necessity for allow
ing it to remain in the shocks until
The middle or end OF November
Corn should not be cut down until
the silks arc dying and the grain Is
rrotty hard, and then II should re-

aoEolutely necessary for the drying
Clthe grain. ItshOuld be husked as
early as possible, and the fodder tied
up in bundles, and either carefully
stacked near the cattle stables or put
under shelter in sheds.
IL is well known, too, that horses

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 to imagine it's destructive viru-
lence III old times. Its average annual
death rates seventy years ago, in coun-
tries where it was most closely Observ-
ed, was about 5000 to !, ZOO, 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, 5, 500 died of small
poX; from the year 1902 to 1918, q
period Of sixteen years after vaccina-
ton had been compulsory, only 15S
persons died of smallpox over the
whole Kingdom of Denmark, out O a
population of 100000

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 in your own appetite, but
n,erciful 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 cOnqueriDg every difficulty;
too proud to wear coat you cannot
buy; too proud to be ia company you
cannot keep up with in expense; too
proud to lie, or steal, or cheat; too
proud to be stingY.

CLEANING OUT GRANARIEs.-The
ravages of insects On the grain are by
no means confined to out door at
tacks. The loss arising from the
depredations of insects which infest
granaries, we judge will fully equal
that from those which are trouble
some in the field. But the former
can be prevented, while we must &C.
casiOnally suffer the latter. When
granaries are empty, they may be
freed from weeVil, and all other kim
dred vermin, by washing with hot
soap suds, using a stiff broom to dis
turb all intruders which may be hid
in the cracks of the floor or bins.
Fresh limewash, we'll brushed into
The ceilings and walls, will complete
the business. When they are out,
they should be kept out. No open
window should be allowed in a gra-
nary during the summer months,
when the moths are flying.
