SLEEPING ROOMS IN WINTER.

The Saaitaridn for November has
an article on sleeping rooms and
sleeping in strong currents Of
cold air. which, from the conf
dence and vigor of its utterances,
is likely to attract attention. The
writer, Lewis w. Leeds, of New York,
goes his best in favor Of filing human
lungs with pure, cold air while person
sleeps, by commanding the maximum
of oxygen in the cold, condensed at.
mosphere inhaled. He forgets that all
extremes ue dangerous. The body Of
man may be either too hot or too cold
may have either too much or too littlevi-
talair in its lungs and blood. His system
gives a large excess in sleeping rooms.
A healthy person in the prime of life
can sleep in room cold enough to
freeze water readily, say at 20 degrees
temperature, with comfort, in . good
bed with proper blankets. But one
who has seen seventy winters, or whose
system has reached the infrmities of
three score years and ten in half that
length of time, can not SO easily con-
sumo the excess Of stimulus in the
shape Of condensed oxygen. Sleeping
in so cold an atmosphere is over-feed-
ing the blood-stimulating organs in
a way and to a degree that is full Of
peril. The most perfect down bed-cover-
ing can not lessen the quantityof oxygen
consumed each hour in bed. Warming
the room has this effect precisely.
Every well-informed reader will agree
with us that 1T is important TO know
what substances enter the blood and
circulate in every part Of the system;
and as mankind spend about one-third
of their whole lives III sleep or. in bed,
what each respiration gives to and re-
moves from the blood in various condi-
tions of the atmosphere may well be the
subject of careful study. A cold, damp
air is always to be avoided if possible.
Too much moisture in sleeping rooms
is one of the most common evils in our
Southern climate. A little fire is per-
haps the best remedy. Many are
riding the ventilation hobby to their
death. Children may be raised in
tents, as in the time of Abraham.
But it will not do to change ones life
suddenly from tight rooms to strong
currents of air. or from one extreme to
the opposite, Theorists are always on
extremes. Because school children in
the great city of New York have often
been crowded in tight, ill-ventilated
rooms, now roof over their heads is
all that is allowed them so secure a
plenty Of fresh air to each pupil. A
church must be as open as an old time
Methodist camp-meeting for sanitary
purposes.

Feed for Colts.

A correspondent OF the Maine
Farmer, who is a successful breeder of
horses-for driving, etc. gives that
paper his method of feeding colts. He
feeds all colts as many oats as they
will eat up clean, feeding three times a
day. He gives weanings four pounds
of oats per day, with eight pounds of
hay; to yearlings five pounds of oats /;
two-year-olds six pounds; three-year-
olds eight pounds, with ten pounds of
hay for each of the three ages.
The colts are all handled from their
birth. Even in the winter the young
colts have half hours gallop daily,
while the older ones are regularly
driven.
A warm bran mash is given once a
week, and also three or four pounds of
potatoes, occasionally sheaf oats instead
ofhay, and in cold weather an OCCASION
al feed of corn meal.

House Plants in winter.

Mr.. James Wick, whose large expert
ence as florist makes him an excep.
tionable authority on the subject, gives
the following suggestions with regard
to the management of house plants in
winter:
Few plants can endure the high
temperature and dry atmosphere of
most of our living rooms. The tenn.
perature should not be allowed to 90
above sixty-tive in the day time, and
not above forty in the night. AS much
mir ana light as possible should be Civ
en-, while the leaves should be sprink-
led every morning. A spare room, or
parlor, or extra bedroom, is better for
plants than living room. A bay win
dow, connected with warm room, es-
pecially if facing south or east, makes
an excellent place for keeping plants
in winter. 1t should have glass doors
on the inside, which can be closed
part of the time, especially when
sweeping and busting. The main thing
ia. keeping house plants in health is to
secure an even temperature, moist
atmosphere, and freedom from dust.
Sprinkle the leaves occasionally, and
when they need water use it freely.
If the green fly, or aphis appears, wash
with soapsuds frequently, and occa.
sionally with little tobacco water, or
decoction of quassia chips. II the
red spider comes it shows the plants
are in too dry an atmosphere. Burn
little sulphur under the plants, the
fumes of which will kill the spider,
and afterward keep the stems and leaves
well moistened. Occasionally, but not
often, worms appear in the pots. This
can be avoided in measure by careful
potting. A little weak lime water is
sometimes of benefit in such cases, also
five drops of liquid ammonia to gall
Ion of water, though, perhaps, the bet
ter way is to re-pot, removing the
earth carefully, so as not to injure the
growth of the plant"

Condiments i'm Poultry Diet.

Cayenne pepper, mustard, or ginger,
can with great benefit be added to the
food of fowls, to increase their vigor,
and to stimulate egg production.
This apparently artificial diet will be
seen to be natural, if we remember that
wild birds of the gallinaceous species
get access to very highly spiced berries
and buds; articles that give the "game
flavor " to their flesh. The ordinary
food of the domestic fowl is not indeed
entirely without some such addition.
since there is more or less of an
aromatic principle in wheat, Indian
corn, and all other grains. Neverthe-
less, it is not sufficient IN quantity to
supply the place of the stronger species,
taste for which is a part of the fowls
inherited constitution, A moderate
quantity Of cayenne, ETC., added to the
ground grain, is always productive of
health and thrift in poultry.-Poultry

Odessa Wheat is Not the Best wheat q
Raise i'm Minnesota.

Editors 81. Paul Press / saw an
article in the st. Paul Press of January
Doth in relation to the good qualities
of Odessa wheat, signed James w.
Marden.
We do not think it equal to the Fife
of Flint wheat, and the flour made from
Odessa does not command as good a
price. Consumers of Minnesota flour
in all markets condemn the quality.
1t makes a nice looking, soft flour, but
lacks strength or body, for which
Minnesota flour has a great reputation
among consumers and bakers. In the
fall of 1872 / made test in my mills
by making four hundred barrels ex-
clusively from Odessa, and shipped it
TO five different markets-New York,
Albany, Boston, Baltimore and St.
Louis, and in all of them 1t brought 80
cents to $1.00 less per barrel, and
their customers all condemned it, and
said they wanted no more of il. This
flour was branded my first brand, which
has a high reputation in all markets,
aud for a time injured the good name
of my brand. This think will be the
testimony Of all the best merchant
millers in our State, and they as we'll
as myself prefer TO buy flint wheat.
Any new kind Of wheat yields better for
one or two crops but soon runs out, as
the Odessa has, in this vicinity, where
il was impartlally tried on the same land
from two To five years.
Farmers should raise Fife, or any
good flint wheat. II is far better than
these varieties, and makes much better

Clean and Dry Stables.

A horse will endure very severe cold
weather without much Inconvenience,
so long as he is furnished with dry
stable; but require him to stand on 4.
wet foul floor, and his health will soon
begin to fail. Horses very often suf-
fer from cold feet and legs. Especial
~ is this the case on farms. Much time
is spent of morning in rubbing, brush
ing and smoothing hair on the sides
and hips, but at no time are the feet
examined and properly cared for. But
the feet of horse require more care
than the body. They need ten times
as much, for in one respect they are
almost the entire horse. All the
grooming that can be done won't avail
anything if the horse is forced to stand
where his feet will be filthy. In this
case the feet will become disordered,
and then the legs there is not much
else of the horse fit for anything.
Stable prisons generally are very severe
on the feet and legs of horses and
unless these buildings can afford dry
room where a horse can walk around,
lie down. or roll over, they are not
half so healthy or comfortable to the
horse as a pasture, and should be avoid
ed by all hostlers in the country

In answer to the question, "Are
there means by which swarms can be
called back and settled !" the bee
keepers at Indianapolis replied: "By
throwing sand on the advance guard !;
or the rays of the sun by the use of a
looking-glass; or by discharging a
gun" One gentleman stated that he
called them back by whistling. He
must have been al extraordinary
whistler, or his bees were exceedingly

Room for The Queen.

Gen. Adair says that the laying of
the queen may be greatly increased by
favorable conditions, and that the aim
of bee-keepers should be to give every
queen room in properly constituted
hives for all her eggs, and also abun-
dance OF proper food, so that she may
not be cramped in any way. This
course followed will give larger
colonies, with far greater capacity for
honey gathering, for "bees are honey
IN this business, and honey is money!

Throwing Kisses.
By MINNIE b. sLADE.

Grille on the stairway, mother up above;
Girlie's eyes and mothers full of tender love ;
Girlie's little fingers throw tender kiss
Right to mother, loving, fearing not to miss;
Mother throws one downward to her Golden
hair;
Grille cries, They're meeting, mother, in the
air!'
By and by the grille stands all, all alone,
Looking sadly upward for the mother, gone
Up the heavenly stairway. GirIie, standing
here,
Knows the mother surely, surely must be near.
If she throws her kisses up the golden stair,
Will they meet the mothers half way ia the
air?

To KEEP THE PRAoR.-John Swan
was arrested and taken before Esqr.
Lsunder, Monday evening, for disturbing
the peace and quiet Of his own hreside:
Swan was grossly intoxicated, and on
going home, kicked in the door OF his
house, and did divers other things very
unbecoming the head Of a well regulated
household. he was so much under the
influence Of liquor when brought to the
Justices Office that it was thought best
to send him 10 Jail, ito sober up" Yes
terday morning, having enjoyed q good
nights rest, he was comparatively fright
ed W" and again taken to Esq. LIS Office.
A full investigation Of the charge was
made, and resulted in requiring him to
give security in the sum Of one hundred
bred dollars to keep the peace one year.
This, he was unable to do, and he was
accordingly remanded to Jail.
Tv0 more Of tho Same Ort-Last even
ing, James Glenn and Yves. Jones were
arraigued before the same Justice on q
charge similar to that against Swan. The
result in each instance was like that above
noted, except that Jones and Glenn found
bondsmen, we believe, and were set ct
| liberty.
