Farmers Homes.

Frank y. Curtis, in his address
before the New York State Agricul-
tural Society, said several good
things in regard to farmors' homes,
but none more to the point than the
following in regard to the 10, alton
and surroundings Of the dwelling:
GA house on hill with no trees
around it looks cherries and un-
homclike. Have grounds around
the dwelling. Tear away the fences;
they cost money and arc useless,
l mean fences shutting the house
up as if there was danger Of its
running away. Let there ho not
less than an acre Of door-yard; ten
will be better. Make a rich lawn
of this and cut the grass. 1t can be
no waste, but it will be thing Of
beauty, and a thing Of beauty is
10Y forever There need not be
any loss to be tasteful; nature and
beauty are synonymous; good taste
and economy can therefore he made
landmarks to each other. Set your
fruit trees in this enclosure and dig
around them with spade each
year, and top dress the whole, and
they will grow finely, and the grass
will grow luxuriantly, and the house
will grow beautiful, the children
will grow contented, the father and
mother as they grow old will grow
happy, the neighbors will grow to

Early Vegetables

If seeds are to be purchased it
will be well to send for them some
time before needed, so that no delay
may occur. Have a box of proper
size with a good cover, where they
may be securely kept, and each
package labeled. a hot-bed is cas-
lily made, and the advantage Of hav-
ing supply of early lettuce, rad
ishes, tomatoes, etc, amply repays
for all trouble. But it may not al
ways be possible to make and care
for one or more of these, and should
only few early plants be wanted,
a cheap substitute for q hot bed can
be had by making box long
enough to reach across the window,
and about four inches deep, the
width being determined by the
place. Fill with rich garden soil,
when it will be ready to receive the
seed. Seeds Of annual flowers may
be planted in a similar way, and
when the proper time arrives, trans
ferred to the garden. In this way
flowers may be obtained much ear
licr in tie season than with the usu-
al mode of planting the seed in the
flower beds.

To Prevent Rust.

Manufacturers of farm tools usu.
ally apply varnish to prevent rust.
ing, but the cost and difficulty OF
removing it make it unsuitable for
home use. White lead is effectual
in keeping off rust, but with this
the same difficulty of removing is
met. The best thing we have tried
and where the recipe was first
given has escaped us-is whiting
thinned with kerosene to the consis-
tency of paint, and applied with a
small brush or cloth. This readily
rubs off, but will prevent rust fol
months. We keep it ready mixed
and when hoes, spades, or plows are
laid asides, if only for few days
a coat of this preparation is given
The London Lancet says the medi
cal officers of the British navy pre-
serve their surgical instruments
from rust by Il mixture of carbolie
acid and olive oil, in equal parts
smcared over them.

Prices OF Farm Stock.

\ ashington dispatch says
The annual stock report Of the De
partment of Agriculture shows thai
the prices of farm animals are bet
ter sustained than those of other
farm products. Horses command
improved prices in nearly all Sec
tons of the country. Sheep are
somewhat higher than last year, the
appreciation being quite general,
though not equal in the several
States. The prices of cattle have
advanced in some States from local
causes, and rpoeded in others
Mich cows in the South are appre.
ciating in value, and declining III
many Of the Northern States
Swine bear lower rates generally,
though quite as high as last year
in the Eastern States. An analysis
of local differences shows that the
prices of horses have advanced in
New England, New York, Pennsyl-
yania, and in the Gulf States. In
New Jersey, where prices rule
higher than in any other State, a
small decline is apparent, though
prices are still relatively high
Though lower prices prevail in Del
aware, Maryland, Tennessee and
Kentucky, slight advance is seen
in Virginia, and in horses of full age
in North Carolina. In Minnesota,
Iowa and Nebraska, where the sup
ply is unequal to tho requirements
Of widening operations in agricul,
ture, horses bear higher prices
There is also an advance in Califor-
MIA and Oregon. Working mules
command advancing prices in the
South. A slight advance is seen in
Indiana, Illinois and Minnesota. In
Maine, New Hampshire and Yer
mont, where cattle were sacrificed
last season on account of the par
tial failure of the grain and hay
crops, prices have rallied with an
increase of forage.

How - Horse Reasons.

A correspondent Of orr DumI
1nimals writes:
For the last two years l have
driven my mare nearly every day
over the same road. About ono
mile from my house are two roads
one leading to the church the
other to the depot. Now six days
in tho week | drive to the cars, and
on Sunday to the church. At the
point where these roads separate,
give my mare her head, leaving her
to make her choice; and on week
days she will go straight to the de.
pot, and on Sundays she goes of hei
own will to the churohI | never
knew her to fail me yet.
1t puzzled me for long time to
learn how she should know any diff
ference in days; and I have come
to the conclusion that she reasons
from facts-facts connected with
everyday life. On week days !
start from my stable in two-wheel
carriage. On Sundays l start from
my house in a carryall; thus making
an entire change in both time,
place and carriage; and from these
facts she must be guided in her
choice of roads.

Keeping Vegetables and Fruit in
Cellars.

The most common method of
guarding vegetables and fruit
against the frost during the winter
months is to keep them in the cellar
of the house. In avoiding the cold,
most farmers rush to the other ex-
treme, and damage them by too
mach heat. The windows are stop
ped, and the underpinning of the
house is banked up all around with
earth, and no place is left for venti-
lation. The heat makes the vege-
tables grow, the fruit rots, and the
farmer comes to the conclusion that
his cellar does not keep fruit or
vegetables well. Probably he
destroys ten bushels of vegetables
where the cold does one. If the
cellar has a keeper it will generally
perform it's office well. The whole
secret of success lies in regulating
the temperature and the ventilation.
One window, at least, in the cellar
should be hung upon hingee, SO that
the temperature can be reduced by
leaving it open, or raised by shut
ting it, as the weather outside
varies. TO do this perfectly, it is
necessary to have thermometer
hung in the cellar, and not far from
the window. This will of course
be the coolest part Of the cellar,
and if the mercury does not fall be-
low the freezing point the fruit and
vegetables will not suffer from frost.
In the daytime, in pleasant weather,
the window may be left open, some
times for hours together. In cold
nights it can be shut tight. Even
when it freezes outside the window
may be left open a little and the
temperature be very nicely regnla-
ted. The rule is to keep the cellar
as cool as possible without freezing
and to maintain an even tempera-
ture. 1t must not go below thirty
two degrees, and should not rise
above forty degrees. We have q
room partitioned off from the rest of
the cellar, with single window in
it, for the purpose of keeping fruits,
vegetables, salt meats, fish, butter,
aud other winter stores. 1t is some
trouble to regulate the temperature,
but it is much more trouble to have
sprouting potatoes, rotting fruit,
etc.-1merican 1griculturist

AS Dull rs n Hoe"

This is an old favoritc compari
son, and it seems cruel to rob it of
it's poetry. But free use Of the
file or grindstone is as rough on the
comparison as the keen hoe is on
the weeds. Certainly it is poor
economy to save the wear Of the
hoe, of necessity only half killing
the weeds and making heavy toll of
otherwise light work. A file, even
an old one cleaned with diluted
acid, will answer every purpose, or
grindstone, if one has no file
Never mind if stones or gravel do
dull, a sharp hoe carefully used will
accomplish more than the noisy
grabbing of a dull one. 1t is u
pleasure to see the hoo daily narrow
up and the corners gradually round
off, for honorable age and constant
service benefits the hoe, making the
blade thinner and smaller. Sharp
en- the hoe, then-first, to save the
hard labor; second, to do neatcr
work; third, to keep it bright; final.
ly, to have the pleasure Of seeing it
grow old in the service.

Feeding Straw.

A correspondent of the New York
Times writes: Gas | look back at
my first lessons in the care of cattle,
l can see that the poor dumb brute
has better care than in years past.
The stabling was not thought Of
They must be content with the out
side Of the barn and the soft side Of
a snow-bank. And when we wished
to feed them straw we must starve
them to it. They must not even
have taste of other food, Except
a little corn in the ear,) for fear
they would not eat straw. But |
soon learned that that was not the
proper way; they liked a variety
of food as well as man. For in
stance, you take man, confine him
to one kind of food, say meat or
bread, and see how long he will
relish it; he soon will be SO DISCUS
ted with 1t that he cannot bear the
sight of it. l think it is somew ha
So with the dumb beasts. You give
them nothing but straw every day,
they become sick and tired Of it;
they eat ii with no relish, and it
is so with corn-stalks, or even haY,
and we all know they prefer this
above all other winter food, and you
continc them to this for some time,
and then give them a feed of good
straw, and they will go at it with
an avidity that will astonish you. 1t
is like man who has been kept on
some reterablc diet for long time,
and yon place n piece of cora bread
or some other plain food before him
and he will take it in preference.
From experimenting | have arrived
at this conclusion-to feed straw
and feed it proftably you must feed
it mostly in cold weather, and but
once per day, and let the other fod-
dering be hay or corn-stalks, as |
believe in feeding but twice per
day. | do not believe in feeding
corn-stalks in extreme cold weather
for they are dry and brittle, and
they waste them, while in milder
weather they are not as hard and
brittle, and they eat them with
greater relish and there is less
waste; therefore, l would advise
feeding hay once per day in extreme
cold weather. When you are feed
ing straw, it is n very good plan
when you do not salt your cattle
otherwise-to make a weak brine,
and sprinkle your straw with it.
You must not think, because it is
cold weather, that your stock don't
need salt; if you do, the poor dumb
brutes will suffer for the want of it,
and you will be the loser in the
end.

ROse.Bushes.

Insects of various kinds mutilatc
and destroy the leaves of rose
bushes and other garden shrubs. A
member of the Illinois State Horti-
cultural Society, at the last session,
stated that a strong tea made from
quassia bark, and sprinkled on the
leaves would eff'ectually drive them
away. No statement was made as
to the frequence Of the application,
but this can be determined by care
full experiment. Rose hedges arc
coming into use as screens, and can
be made very beautiful. Strong
growers and profuse boomers are
used, and when desirable to have
the hedge ola certain height this
can be done by using trelllses.

Mulching Strawberries

A correspondent to an exchange
says: The snow fell before l had a
chance to cover my strawberry beds.
Will it do any good to put on mulch
now? 1t answers; The snow is an
excellent mulch, and answers all
purposes, if it would remain on the
ground until April. Put on the
mulch by all means on top of the
snow, and as the latter disappears
the hay or straw will settle down
on the plants and protect them from
the bad effects of alternate freezing
and thawing, which on wet or clay
ground will "heave" the stock.

SIGN OF
The Big Hat

AS the sign denotes, it is tru-
ly a Hat Store, both for Ladies
and Gents. Every person who
visits Independence is familiar
with Turner'S Millinery and Fur
nishing Goods Store. Last spring
they added to their stock in the
shape of Gents Hats and Fur
nishing Goods, making it truly
a Hat Store. We say it (and
without boasting), that we have
as large and as fine an assort-
ment as can be found in any
store of our class of goods west
of Chicago.
To the Ladies' Gas usuan, we
solicit a share ofyour patronage.
To the Gents-remember it is
truly, surely, and the only Hat
Store in the city. Our Facility
and Experience for purchasing
stock is second to none; expen-
ses small; consequently our
prices we guarantee.
Remember the place, The
Sign of the Big Hat.
