4 he Farmers.

No class of people may better rejoice
in their lot in view of the pinch that is
now upon men engaged in other call
ings in the cities and villages, than the
farmers. They will have enough for
food and raiment, come what will. If
what they raised brings less on sale.
they will buy what they want at lower
rates. Their scrip and bills may be
less, but their real ability to obtain all
needful supplies for the comforts and
even the luxuries of plain country iv-
ing will be none the less. Thousands
in the cities and used to the factories
and the shops would gladly exchange
lots with the farmers: and it seems
quite likely that not few Of the boys
and girls that have lett the Old home in
the hope of doing better in other en-,
pigments will be thankful to find an
open door for them at the old home
stead this winter. Let the farmers be
content with comparative exemption
from tribulations that are now upon
thousands III our land who have been
engaged IN other pursuits. Thanks,
now, for the farms and the quiet homes
of those hills and valIeys!- Valleu

THERE is nothing that adds more to

plenty of fruit trees and shrubbery A
good orchard and fruit garden, and q

Consumption of Horse Flesh i'm France,

According to the report of the Com
lite de la Viande de Cheval, there we're
consumed in Paris, during the first half
of the year 1867, 1913 horses, asses and
mules, which supplied 100, $50 kilo-
grammes of meat; during the first half
year of 1870, 1892 animals we're
slaugh tered, giving 366, 40 kilogram-
mes of meat lastly, during the first
half of the present year, the figures
amounted respectively TIC ), 1856 ANIMALS
and SS3, SO kilogrammes, not includ-
ing hearts, livers, brains, tongues, &C.,
which are consumed in common with
neat cattle. The provinces exhibit the
same progress as the capital in the con-
sumE zion Of horse flesh.
Horses slaughtered for consumption
fetch on an average from l25 to $50
francs each. 50 that the industry has
added 100 francs per head to the value
of worn out, but not diseased horses.
TIE public wealth OF France IS increas-
ed by the eating OF horse-fesh to the
extend OF 4S0,000,000 Of francs. The
high price OF butchers meat, and gen
eral impoverishment, have doubtless
considerably aided the progress of
horse-butchery.

Keepin~ Dahlia Bulbs.

Will you please, to tell me how to
preserve dahlla roots through the Win
ter2 E. J. CARR.
When the plants have been blackened
with frost in the Fall, cut them off at
the ground, and throw a shovelful of
earth over the crowns, as for sweet po-
tatoes. They will now thoroughly
mature, and may be left where they
are until really frosty nights approach.
Then lift the roots on some dry day,
and lay them in an airy room to dry.
When thoroughly dry, pack In dry
sand, and place in dry cellar, or 9th
er dry situation secure from frost, first
labelling each plant SO that the marks
may not be obliterated during the
winter We have never had any diff
Guilty in keeping them perfectly IN this
way. If you have a greenhouse they
may be kept under the staging where
it is dry, since moisture is the one
thing most fatal to Them, next to frost.

Honey for Winter Use.

The luxury OF honey with buckwheat
cakes furnishes of itself sufficient in
ducement to the housekeeper to max
provision for its supply. Honey
brought to table in the comb makes a
very pretty dish, but can only be thus
served during short season. If pur-
chased in any 'arger quantity, expos
ule to heat causes honey to ferment and
become thin, while the first severe cold
weather hardens il into a solid white
mass, uninviting in appearance and
rough to the palate. Pour all yonr
honey together iuto a clean colapder;
support the ears of the colander by two
rods resting on the rim of the bowl.
Cut the comb transversely and repeat
edly, then leave it to drain. This will

Russian Real Estate.

Persons seeking investment for their
spare capital will do well to turn their
attention to Odessa, the Russian sea-
port. It appears from the report of
the British Consul, General on the
trade of Odessa for the past year, just
issued, that there is an extraordinary
demand for further house accommoda-
ton in that town, owing to it's grow
ing population. Many Of the new
buildings rising in almost every street
are engaged long before they are COM
pleted yet, Notwithstanding the
immense additions that have of
late been made to the rooted
accommodations of the place, rents
continue TO advance in the most aston
ishing way. The value of some prop
erty doubles 10 a few months, says the
Pail Mall Gazette, and immense profits
continue to be made by the purchase
and resale of such possessions. A
friend Of the Consul-General lately
realized profit of 25, 900 roubles on a
house which he purchased six months
before Tor 80, 900 roubles, and similar
lucrative transactions are constantly
being spoken of. The difficulty and
expense attending the housing of a
family IN Odessa in decency and com
fort (for the generality of Russian
dwellings are very inadequately pro-
vided with the accommodations which
Englishmen consider Indispensable is
one o. the greatest drawbacks to resi-
dence there.

be accomplished thoroughly in a day
or two, the honey running through a
clear liquid, leaving the wax behind
clean and dry. Bottle the strained
honey, cork tight. and it will be ready
for use at any time. To make as
surance doubly sure, some house
keepers let their strained honey boil
before bottling, and say that thus pro-
pared it may be kept for an indefinite
length of time. A warm, dry store
room is to be preferred as place of
deposit.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Preparing Wax.

The wax left i'll the colander after the
honey is strained should be thrown in
to pot of boiling water. The wax
will rise to the surface, and must be
skinned off and packed in little molds
slightly creased that the cakes may be
turned out with ease Every house
keeper will appreciate the advantage
of this bit of economy, as few things
are more handily useful in many little
little family exigcncies than nice
piece of home made wax.

The Intelligent Storks.

A great fire once broke ont in little
German town near where stood a tower
about eighty feet high, which formed
part Of the fortifcation on the town
wall. On the summit stork's nest
had been built for SO many years that
the building mad received the name
OF ''otork' S Tower" At the time of
the ire there were three unfedged
birds in the nest, and the poor little
brides were in great danger. But the
old storks soon showed their good
sense and their love for their young,
for by turns they each flew off to some
little fish ponds just outside the walls;
here they took good dip in the water,
and filled their beaks with as much as
they could carry away; then, notwith-
standing the smoke and flames, they
flew back to their little ones, poured
the water from their beaks over them
and the nest, and at the same time
shaking 1t from their feathers. Thus
during the whole day did these faithful
birds act as q winged fire brigade till
toward evening, when all danger for
their young and their nest was over.
