Healthy Houses.

The following valuable suggestions re-
lating to the construction of suburban
houses, are from paper read before the
Edinburgh Architectural Association;
they will apply with equal force in this
country. TO keep suburban dwellings
from communicating influences, the sub
soil upon which the house rests should be
thoroughly drained to such depth as will
secure crust of dry soil upon which to
erect the structure. The walls below the
floor level should he separated from those
above by interposing some substance I'M
pervious to water, in order to prevent
that capillary attraction which the walls
of the building, when influenced by the
internal heat of the rooms, exert upon
anything which would supply moisture.
The external walls of a building should be
of such thickness as will allow ola house
being kept at an even temperature. The
walls of gables containing tireplaces re-
quire to be made thick, as thin walls,
especially at the chimney head, are sure
to produce smoky vents. Bedrooms and
kitchens should be of the largest dimen-
sions compatible with the size of the
house. No drains should be permitted UNI
der d dwelling, whatever the strait in
which the architect may find himself IN
their arrangement. As best constructed
they are liable to leak, and if under the
house the emanations from them become
sources of great annoyance, and probably
of disease to the inmates. Nor should
drains be allowed to pass further into the
house than half the thickness of the outer
wall. Cisterns require to be placed where
they can be easily reached and where they
will be free from contamination of any
kind. The main cistern OF Il building
should be located in a room exclusively
devoted to that purpose, in which there
should be plenty of light, and into winch
the occupant could 90 as freely as into
any open part of his dwelling, and where
he could observe that such an important
element as water was pure and whole
some. There should be no limit set to
the number of windows in Il house, and
the position of the rooms in regard to light
should guide the architect in their arrange

DIGGING POTATOES CLEAN.

To illustrate the per cent. Of loss incident
to ordinary hand digging of potatoes, Mr.
j. j. H. Gregory, of Marbehead, Mass,
says, in communication to the Country
Gentleman A few years ago, when the Early
Rose potatoes were worth $40 a barrel,
set several farm hands digging a piece of
about two acres, first telling them of the
great value of the crop, and the consequent
necessity Of extra care to secure all of it.
The men were experienced hands, careful
and conscientious. After the piece had been
dug over and the crop secured, one of my
neighbors asked me if was willing he should
have all the potatoes he might find, provided
he fall ploughed the land for me without
charge. l assented. The result was that
my neighbor secured nearly four barrels of
Early Rose, and as they were then worth
$40 barrel, all will allow that Sl6O was
very good pay for ploughing two acres of
ground.

SCOTCH DAIRY SHOW
+. X. TowLR.
West Berkshire.

The Irish Farmers Gazette says The
great show Of cheese, butter, and roots,
which takes place annually at Kilmarnock
under the auspices Of the Ayrshire Agricul-
tural Association, was held in the Corn Ex.
change and several temporary erections in
the immediate vicinity of the large hall.
The magnitude of the show may be esti-
mated from the fact that there were about
24O tons of cheese on the premises. roughly
valued at 10000 pounds. These figures are
much larger than they have been on any pre-
vious occasion.
The Marx Lane Express has the following
remarks on this show The comparison Of
fine English and Scotch cheese was one of the
most interesting occurrences at the recent
show of the Ayrshire Agricultural Associa-
ton. 1t has been said by English judges
that few cheese-makers in Somersetshire-
10 or Is, or 20 in number-still surpass the
best makers of Cheddar cheese in Scotland.
Last year the men of Galloway, with great
spirit, offered to bring the matter to prac.
teal test by competition, but the Somerset
men declined to meet them. Failing to OBJ
tain competition on large scale, few
of the Galloway men applied to an eminent
cheese factor who gets the produce Of some
of the best dairies in Somersetshire, and he
selected two thoroughly fine" specimens for
exhibition at Kilmarnock. A Scotch cheese
was selected for comparison with the best
English one. The Scotch cheese was one OF
the two which had been placed first for Lady
Stuart MenteAths prize.
The judges took half an hour to come to a
decision, and they we're not satisfied till they
cut both cheeses through the middle. The
quality of the two was wonderfully near. The
Somerset cheese appeared to have the advan-
tage of being a month older than the other,
and it excelled little in "style." Though
no more than the usual width, il weighed ITO
lbs. The Galloway cheese might be about
three-fourths of that weight. 1t was equal
ly fne in color, "texture," and quality, and
rather exceled the other in favor. In the
end, the unanimous decision was in favor OF
the Scotch cheese.

SHIFTLESS SYSTEMS.

The New York TriJuue says; The losses
which most reduce the farmers profits are
those which arise from missed opportunities,
badly laid plans, want of preparation for
possible contingencies, and other failures re-.
sulting from poor business habits. The hus.
bandmau, above all others, needs to take
thought for the morrow. Harvesting sup
ply of tools, seed and other necessary things
should be considered beforehand. Perhaps
the most serious wounds a farmer thus inflicts
on himself arise from want OF preparation for
changes of weather during the growth of his
crops, their harvesting, or for the winter care
Of his stock. Scientific farming in its best
sense is neither more nor less than farming
on the basis Of the best possible plan.

AGRICULTURE IN GREAT BRITAIN.

The Scottish Agricultural Gazette, in
noticing the activity of farmers clubs in
Great Britain, says:
There is nothing like 1t in any other pro-
fession. To be sure, no other professions
number so many members on given area Of
the country, but this is not true Of them as
congregated in our large towns. Where,
however, will you find that constant activity
Of the professional mutual improvement prin.
ciples, whether in town or in country, which
one witnesses continually in Agriculture /?
Every locality has its plowing.match and
club, every market town its monthly meeting
for discussion, every county its annual show,
every province its great summer meeting,
and each Of the three Kingdoms its national
gathering and exhibition. And, as if these
were insufficient to satisfy the appetite for
social cooperation, there has grown up an
other great organization within the last two
years, and Chambers of Agriculture have
everywhere been constituted for the purpose
Of ascertaining the opinion Of the agricutu-
raj body on public as well as professional
questions, and of thereafter urging that opin-
ion, wherever it may best bear fruit.

EYES,.

What variety Of eyes there are in the
world There are loving eyes, admiring
eyes, longing eyes, jealous eyes, envious eyes,
malicious eyes, smiling eyes, fearful eyes,
meddlesome eyes, penetrating eyes, and eyes
that look and yet see nothing; besides many
other kinds of eyes which, in their own Pc
culiar way, are peeriug into the worlds mys-
teries.
A good way to make loving eyes is to be
true, devoted and thoughtful of home com.
forts.
To attract admiring eyes, lie cheerful, ii.
dy, and industrious.
To cure longing eyes, call in and give
some supper to the poor, half-starved little
or creature '''u's who ,i, is gazing Oonnt'fal'
To satisfy inquisitive eyes, let them see
the very thing they would rather not
To avoid jealous eyes, neither be distrust.
ful nor do that to another which you would
not have done to you.
To avoid envious eyes, be squint-eyed,
pock-marked, humpbacked, squatty, disa-
greeable, and no sort Of use to anybody.
To keep clear of malicious eyes, die at
once and go to heaven.
To cause smiling eyes, speak kindly, deal
gently, and be light-hearted and merry, re-
membering life is to enjoy.
Have fearful eyes whenever the heart is
full. 1t is good way to work off troubles
and tighten the spirits.
To avoid mcddlesome eyes, stay at home,
lock all the doors, and draw the curtains.
Then, if they look through the keyhoe,
throw hot water on them, if you are over
sensitive; otherwise go ahead with your own
affairs in your own way, and let them meddle.
Penetrating eyes must lock up and try to
forget all the secrets discovered of the short
comings Of others, only remembering the
beautiful things which the blind cannot see.
For eyes that look and see nothing, there
is no cure, except an awakening OF soul or
intellectual energies. Will it not be heay-
emily when all eyes see clearly and from
kindly motives?

THE FRUIT INTERESTS OF THE
CHAMPLAlN VALLEY.
by c. @. Pringle, Esq, OF Charlotte, secre-
tary OF the ChAmplsIn Valley HorticuItu-
raj Society.

(ContiRued)
some Ofthe Advantages and Disadvantage
OF our Short Summers.
Though thus enumerate these advantage
es OF our climate and our location, | would
not be understood to intimate that our season
resembles in all respects that of other noted
fruit regions. From our situation in the far
north vegetation begins with us, necessarily,
from one to two weeks later than it does in
Central New York or Michigan. and also
brings to close its cycle Of growth by as
much earlier in autumn; yet there are but
very few varieties Of apples, pears, or plums
with which | am acquainted, that do not in
our shorter season come to full perfection in
size and quality. None but the early grapes
it is true, are certain to come to maturity
before their foliage may be killed by frost,
unless they grow in the immediate vicinity
of the water, But with respect to winter
apples and pears, which must constitute our
main crops Of reliance, there is great advan-
tage to their keeping qualities in their not
being exposed to much warm weather after
they have reached the fullest development
the tree can afford. Under our short sum
mers Nature would seem to be less under the
control Of the husbandman than might be the
case in other climes, Certainly the farmer
of Pennsylvania may accomplish much more
work in season than he who tries to keep
even with Vermont summer. Vegetation
hurries through its swift course and the far.
mer is swept along to the end Of the season
with scarce respite from toll Planting,
hoeing, haying and harvesting follow each
other in 50 rapid succession, that his ener-
gies are strained TO the utmost So it results
that more hands are required here in the
growing OF certain amount of fruit than in
other districts and, consequently from this
cause, as well as others, we cannot afford to
sell as cheap as can others. But this pecu-
liar circumstance respecting the maturity of
our winter fruit gives us great advantage
over our competitors in the market. Thus it
is to the production of
late Keeping Fruit
that our most thoughtful and far-seeing
