Ornament YOurGartien.

Ornamental vases, rustic stands,
and hanging baskets filed with choice
growing plants, now form a promi.
nent and comely feature in the deco.
ration of our flower gardens and
pleasure grounds. They are elabo-
rately bedecked, and add richness and
elegance to well established grounds.
In the smallest gardens there is room
for one or more of them; they are OF
various sizes, and sold largely by
seedmen.
The successful culture of lovely
plants in baskets, vases, etc, lies in
the proper selection ofplants; for ex-
ample, all the plants set in one vessel
should be such as will flourish under
the same treatment.
1t is true that some species require
more water than others-somc thrive
best in the sunshine, others succeed
best in partial shade. Any one at a
loss to select suitable plants, may ask
an honest florist to furnish such plants,
and the right number to plant in q
vase, stand or hanging basket. State
the size Of it, and whether it will be
placed in full or partial shade-and
whether creeping or upright plants
are desired.
The next point is, to use a rich,
light and friable compost for the
plants to grow in, as their roots will
he confined in small space. Ere
quent waterings should be attended
to. When the weather gets too cold
for the plants in fall, all the vessels
may be taken into the house, and by
special care the plants therein will
flourish till the following spring,
when they should be thrown out and
the vessels refilled with new plants
and fresh compost.

To Make n Manure Sprcader.

Procure a strong pole, about ten
feet long and six inches in diameter,
and secure tongue in the middle, so
as to form a large I. The tongue
may be bolted or secured by mortise
and tenOn. After the tongue is made
fast, set it up in a perpendicular posi-
ton and bore two-inch holes through
the head-piece, one foot apart Now
fill the holes with spreading brush, let
ting the brush extend behind the cross
head from four to six feet. The
more brush one can fasten in the
holes the better. After the ma
nure is spread with forks, hitch a
team to the tongue, place a board on
the bush behind the cross-head, and
let the driver stand on the board as
the spreader is driven across the
field, back and forth like a harrow,
and the brush will then spread and
grind the manure into the ground
and pulverize the Jumps more per-
fectly than could be done by hand.
A man and horse team can spread
an acre per hour of any kind of ma
nure. Such spreader will be found
useful in preparing land for seeding
after it has been narrowed, as it
will crush the Jumps fill up the dead
furrows and leave the field like a
garden bed In lieu of large pole,
a heavy slab or narrow plank may
be employed for the head of the
spreader The spreader should
be driven at a right angle to the first
course, whenever all the lunches
are not grouud fine and spread even

Eaucation os Farmers wives.

Farmers wives should study econ
omy-economy Of money, economy of
time and economy of mind Most all
of us think we know how to save,
but we do not. 1t is not economy
for farmers wives and daughters to
stand cat in the snow on butchering
day, and clean and wash hogs en-
trails, just to save what little fat
there Is on them for soap grease. i
have known farmers wives and
daughters to Go this when the
whole amount saved would not be
worth twenty-five cents, and their
husbands and fathers at that time
were worth $4,000.
| know farmers wives who are so
anxious to make money that they
never allow their children to have
cream or good, rich milk to eat with
their mush They give their little ones
blue milk and sour yeast, seven days
old (they say it takes so much fresh
bread for a meal they only bake once
aweek), and the consequence Is, the
children are made sick, the doctor is
sent for and his bills have to be paid,
which are often as much as all the
butter will come to that the mother
will sell in six months New all
such methods as these are the very
reverse of economy. When farmers
wives are as intelligent as they should
be, they consider the preservation
of their own health and the health OF
their families as the greatest econo-
my that can be practiced on the farm.
We must quit this stuiling business
we must learn that neither good
taste nor good sense requires US to
prepare fourteen different dishes
every time q neighbor comes to visit
US. If we would do less of this ixing
and fussing, preparing food that no
one dare eat if he hope to have long
life-and put our time in in reading
and thinking-yes, it is absolutely
necessary that we have time to think.
We must give our friends and fami-
lies plain, well-cooked food, and
then devote some time each day to
our own improvement-Praric Far

STORY OF Tom MARsHALL.-Tom

I've been thinking of speaking to you
