health in the household when the cellar
is left with a mass of decaying vegetables,
the remains of the winter store. Many
very careful people remove even the po-
tatoes from the cellar as soon as danger
of freezing is over; and, if there be good
barn cellar, or other place where they
may be kept cool and dry, and from con-
tact with the air, it is a good plan. II
not, sort them carefully over, and raise
them up from contact with the ground.
All other vegetables should be taken
out, and the cellar as thoroughly cleaned
and whitewashed as any other part Of the
house. If this be done and proper ventil-
alton is secured, there is no better place
to keep milk for butter making, unless
one have dairy house made specially for
the purpose.
One Of the most pern-cious practices
we know is to have q lot of loose boards
about the cellar, winter and summer. con-
tracing mold and fungeus growths.
When the cellar is cleaned, everything
movable-and the cellar should not con.
tain any fixtures that may not be taken
down-should be carried out of doors,
thoroughly washed and scrubbed, and be-
come well aired and entirely dry. before
being taken back. If everything have a
coat Of zinc or chemical paint, SO much
the better. There IS nothing pays better
than thorough cleanliness everywhere. but
the rule will especially apply to the cellar.

A physician of Sheffield, England,
makes the statement that the forkgrind-
ers employment is probably more fatal
than any other pursued in England.
There are generally from eight to ten
individuals at work in each room where
the industry is carried on. The grinding
is always performed on dry stone, and
the dust. composed Of fine particles Of
stone and metal, rises in clouds, and per.
vades the atmosphere to which the opera
tives are confined. The dust, which is
inhaled with every breath, gradually in-
duces diseases of the lungs, and under
mines the vigor of the constitution. Diff.
ficulty Of breathing, coughing, and a
wasting Of the frame are often expert
enced by the workmen at the early age
of Is. The ACREAGE longevity of mem.
bers of the trade does not exceed 80
years.

WATCHING FOR FATHER.

There's little face at the window,
And two dimpled hands on the pane;
And somebody's eyes are fixed upon
The gate at the end Of the lane.
The hills have caught the shadow
Which heralds the coming night,
And the lane, with its fowery fringe, grows
To the watchers anxious sight
Where, half way down,
Like glittering crown,
freely band have clustered
Round an aster's leaf
A royal chief
A driven herd are mustered.
Away behind,
With busy mind,
But . step that is light and free,
And q sun burnt face
On which the trace
OF hard days work you see.

Driving the COWS before him;
And the child-eyes, strained at the window

And leave my cares behind me,

Take about two pounds of nice, sweet,
well-cured corned-beef; soak in cold
water till sufficiently fresh; then wash
and rinse it. Then take about one-half
pint of small, sound, ripe, white beans !;
wash and rinse them; put the meat and
beans into about six quarts of water, and
boil moderately, till the beef is done
through. Take out the meat from the
pot, which should stand in a cool place
till the skimmings rise. Remove this

The flavor Of butter can be recognized
even when it is adulteratcd on q large
scale. Pure butter, put on the tongue,
melts rapidly, without producing any
sensation Of granulation when grease
has been added it melts more slowly, and
causes, at the moment Of the fusion of
the last parts, sensation Of granulation.
The smell Of kitchen grease is easily
identified. but it is not the same with
hogs lard. Good butter Is always Of a
beautiful uniform yellow, while adulter-
ated butter is paler, and shows streaks
resulting from the imperfect mixture
with the grease. Butter en- (which one
can see layers and streaks may nearly al.
WAYS be considered as adulterated. If q

1t is clear that agriculture was the be-
ginning and the first occasion of civiliza-
ton. AS long as men depended on hunt
ing and fishing, they were but like the

was when they began to prepare their
food, by observing and directing the
natural laws Of vegetation. planting and

To raise onions the ground should be
thoroughly plowed, made very mellow,
and rolled. 1t should be made rich with
well-rotted, fine barn.yard manure. and
wood ashes make good additional fertil-
ixer. Thirty two.horse loads per acre
would not be too much manure for a
good crop. Five pounds Of seed per acre
may be drilled in rows nine inches apart
with light hand seed drill. The ground
r.ust be kept very clean from weeds, and
mellow with the hoe. A hoe with .
pronged blade specially for this work.
The onions may be grown as close in the
row as they will stand. They may be
grown year after year upon the same

Pre,erv.sto. Of Smoked Reef.

Professor Nessler says that the keep
ing qualities of smoked beef do not de-
pend upon the amount Of smoking, but
upon the uniform and proper drying Of
the meat. 1t is of considerable advan-
tage also to roll the meat on its removal
from the salt, before smoking, in sawdust
or bran. By this means the crust formed
in smoking will not be so thick; and if
moisture condenses upon the meat it re-
mains in the bran, the brown coloring

best place to keep the meat is in smoke
house, in which it remains dry without
drying out entirely as it does when hung
n chimney.

proper observation Of this one item.
It should be kept in mind that the duty
of the water is to dissolve and convey to
the roots Of the plants the food which
they need; some plants must have sea-
son of comparative rest. and if such are
watered literally during this time they
will keep on growing, and the necessary
rest is not obtained. When any of my
lady friends tell me that they succeed
very well with certain classes of plants.
such as the fuchsia, Gala, lobelias, and
ivies, and fail with others. at once set
them down as being protuse waterers,
who by too much water injure or destroy
such plants as will not bear it. On the
other hand, there are those who fail with
this class of plants and succeed we'll with
ohters. Lecause their mode of watering
does not supply enough for the wants Of
one class, but is about the proper amount
for another.
Many plants are permanent injured
by water remaining in the saucer; others
often suffer from bad selection of soil.
Some of our amateur florists fail with a
certain class of plants, of which the bego-
MIA may be taken as type, because they
shower the leaves with cold water, but
for this very reason are eminently sue
ccssful with another class. of which the
camellia will serve as type.
As general rule, from which there are
few exceptions, the texture of the leaf
may be taken as an index Of their power
to resist the application of water. Plants
having porous, open or feshy leaves COW
cred with soft down should be seldom, if
ever, moistened, while those having glossy
or hard leaves will do all the better if
washed frequently.
Our ivies, hoyas, and cobeas seem to
laugh at us after a good dashing, but the
begonias, coleus, and plants of the same
class, do not appear to appreciate it.
