FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

-Bituminous coal ashes from two to
four inches thick will make nearly as
hard and as lasting a floor in cow

slippery and does not afford a harbor for
rats and mice.
DO not use martingales on working
teams. See that the names are buckled
tight enough at the top to bring the

If too low, it not only interferes with the

The price of corn IN this country is
governed by the quantity grown, the
abundance or scarcity of other feeding
material having a slight modifying influ-
ence. The foreign demand, averaging
between l and per cent, and reaching
in recent years per cent, is too small
to be disturbing element in the market
The commercial assertion that the for
eign value of an exported article fixes
its home price, while partially true of
wheat, fails utterly in its application to
corn.-COuntTy Gentleman.
Mos: of our plants are injured by too
much heat. For a general collection of
house plants it is not best to allow the
thermometer to be above seventy, and if
they could be kept in room where the
thermometer would usually not range
much above sixty-five it would be the
better. In the night time fifty is high
enough. Give little fresh air every
fine day, and all the sunlight attainable
Cleanliness is as necessary to plants as
to other bodies, therefore secure them
from dust, if possible. Sweeping carpets
is almost enough to kill both plants and
sweepers 1t will be a happy day for
our lungs, as well as for the lungs of
plants, when we get good substitute for
carpets, something that will not raise Il
cloud of dust every time step is taken.
Uctil this good time comes, give the
whole plant good Swinging occasional
ly, or a bath in pail of water. A little
moisture in the air of room is pleasant
| and healthy. We would not say that a
greenhouse or mushroom house would
be good place to live in, but we do say
that a room that will keep a few plants
| in good health, other things being favora-
BILE, will keep Il family in the same de-
sirable condition. The family can breathe
the confined, dusty, dry, overheated air
of a room and live, because they are out
in the air a good portion of the time, but
those who are confined to the air of our
living rooms the greatest number of
hours are the most delicate, and the
plants having to remain in those over
heated, ill-vcntilated and dusty rooms,
without moments relief, must droop and
die. Cleanliness, fresh air, moderate
heat and a moist atmosphere will secure
healthy plants.

SnOw-ShOes.

Snow shoes are dependence here
that we would rarely think of resorting to :;
but in this country no man expects to
travel off the beaten roads without them
They are in fact indispensable in the
woods or in the fields. Now and then
snow will be crusted over and you may
walk upon the surface; but this is only
occasional, and at other times you must
depend upon the snOw-shOes to keep
from sinking through the snow-not to
the bottom, but till you can't get any
further down. In sugar making time,
which is before the snow is gone, there
Is no other way of getting round but on
snow shoes. This, however, is the case
in Vermont and our Northern States In
addition to the regular, sober uses of
snow shoes, they use them for fun, and
the young people get up parties to walk by
moonlight over the snowy fields, and 9TH
erwise make sport with them. They
have in this city a snOw-shoe club-the
StadacOna-that cultivates the use of
them as fine art, gets up matches,
races, and that sort of thing. Last Sat
urday there was race given by this
club at which there were several prizes
distributed-to say nothing of "A large
amount of fun. The races came off on
Esplanade, under the patronage of the
Mayo and the military band was on
hand to make the affair still more impos-
ing. A great concourse of spectators
was on hand, and vast amount of fun
resulted. A race upon snow shoes, which
are very much like IA pair of basket-cov-
ers, one foot wide by three long, cannot
be a very graceful affair, and may easily
afford the spectators more fun than the
performer; for there is every danger of
tripping and falling headforemost into
the SLOW, with a poor chance of getting
up till some one else has won the race

The Grandest Canon on the COnti-
nent.

The most interesting feature of the
summers exploration, in the estimation
of Prof. Gannett, is the great Canon of
the Gunnison whose perpendicular walls
rise in many places to a height of 1000
feet, and for distance of fifty miles
will average over 3 900 feet The course
of the river seems to have been sculpt-
ured as if by drifting rocks, and along
its almost straight course the white
walls, separated only a few yards, loom
up toward the clouds. 1t makes one al
most dizzy to think of it. Standing at
the top of the highest wall and looking
down nearly three-fourths of mile, lies
the bed of the stream, the waters swift
current dashing and foaming through
the narrow channels, but SO far down
that it can scarcely be seen, and its
roaring never heard. Here is some
thing that rivals the wonders of the Gcl-
lowstone, and is grander than the lo-
semitic.
The point where these great precipices
begin to loom up is about 100 miles
northwest of the Los Pinos Indian
Agency The Indians, as far back as the
time of Fremont's explorations, gave in
dicatrons that such wonders existed well
down this slope, beyond the Cncompah-
gre Mountains, bul the wild region has
been left almost unexplored to this day,
and it is left for Gannett's party to give
the people of this country the first real
knowledge of the wonderful canon and
it's awful precipices.
They have made drawings at some OF
the highest points, and taken in the full
topography of the region; but words will
be weak to convey an adequate idea of
the sublimity and awful grandeur OF this
Canon of the Gunnison.
1t seems probable that the stream of
tourists that found their way over the
range into the Middle Park this season
for the first time, to test the virtues of its
famous hot sulphur springs, to angie in
its brooks, and indulge in the pleasures
of the chase, will another season find
their way into the Uncompahgre Noun
tains and to this wonderful region.
The greatest depth of the Grand
Canon of the Yellowstone is but ,0OO
feet, and the average for miles along the
deepest part is not over 600 feet. Clear
Creek Canon, in Colorado, which Grace
Greenwood, Bayard Taylor, and other
travellers have praised as rivaling the
Yellowstone, is but little over 1000 feet
at its highest point. Prof. Gannett de-
clares that there is nothing in America
that equals the new wonders of the
Grand and Gunnison. The white walls,
contrasting strongly with the others in
the neighborhood, in many places cut
and SCARED into curious and fantastic
shapes, spires, towers and minarets,
standing out above, add to the startling
picturesqueness and awful grandeur of
the scene. Here and there, along the
lower sides of the canon, may be traced
strips of coloring-
This is due to the mingling waters
from several springs that line the river
banks, iron springs producing the red
colors and sulphur springs the yellow.
The river bed is shallow, and the water
clear.-Dr. Hayden.

AMERICAN WoMEN-It is a melancholy
fact that American women have degen-
Grated in point of health and physique
until they have become literally a race
of invalids. How sad it is to look
around us and compare the frail and eff
Terminate looking lady of to-day with the
hale, hearty and buXom ladies of days
gone by. To all such the late discovery
of DIR. WALKER, of California, which is
known as VINEGAR BrrTERs, is a price
less boon indeed. For this class of dis
ease it is certain and safe, and any lady
old or young, can take it with entire
confidence IN the result, and thus avoid
what to thousands is stumbling block
never overcome, viz: consultation with
a family physician. 'Tis true there may
be cases of years standing that will
necessitate more powerful treatment, but
in nine cases out of ten this remedy will
reach the disease, and after little time
effect cure. The number of ladies
cured by it are numbered by thousands
and are scattered through every State in
the Union. 26

Mich Cows Must BE Made Comfort.
able,

No animal can thrive satisfactorily
while its surroundings do not tend to
promote comfort. When fattening
swine are uneasy, ever squealing and
racing about they will not fatten.
When a mich COW is not provided with
comfortable quarters she cannot be ex-
pected to yield full flow of milk Con
corning this subject, 5. Flaville said, in
a recent address:
In everything consult, as far as possible,
the comfort of the COW. Let all the arrange
ments that appertain to her keeping, such as
food, drink, shelter, treatment and general
management, be such as shall tend to her
comfort and quiet; then, and not till then,
can we reasonably look for the best results.
The question of feeding dairy cows has
become one of vast Importance. Breed
is important, but feed much more so.
Persons about engaging in dairying look
over the reports of dairy association or
read the report of some dairy in the ag-
ricultural papers, in which they see so
many cows kept and from them so much
money made, and they seem to forget all
Quired number of COWS, and when
the end of the year comes
they are obliged to divide the
profits by two, for the reason that they
have not well considered the business in
all its detail Many men seem to think
that anything is good enough for a COW.
The warm side of rail fence good
enough shelter, and a chance to feed at
the straw-stack, with an occasional dress
ing of marsh hay and a chance to run IN
the standing corn-stalks, good enough
care and feed for the COW. They seem
to feel that grain fed to cows is almost
thrown away. The horses and hogs must
have all the grain, leaving the COWS to
take care of themselves. These are mis-
taken notions, for it's costs only little
more to keep COW well than poorly.
Indeed, it costs only little more to keep
a COW upon grain than upon hay. Ex-
ample: 1t will take one acre of good
grass to furnish winter fodder for a COW
The same acre, if planted to corn and
properly cultivated, will not only furnish
winter fodder, but will furnish grain
enough, if fed with the stalks in winter
and the pasturage in summer, to give a
good flow of milk during the entire milk
ing season, while the hay would have done
but little more than sustain the animal
life. The difference Of cost, then, in the
two methods of feeding is the difference
| of expense in raising an acre of grass and
an acre of cOrn.-N Y. Herald.

A Girls Chance i'm Nevada Territory.

We have a very pretty letter from a
lady in the Green Mountain State asking
us TO inform her what her chances would
be in Virginia City to get a situation as a
teacher, or, if possible, what encourage
ment an accomplished housekeeper
would probably receive in this city; one
who would come bringing the highest
recommendations as scholar and a
lady. As we are frequently in receipt
of such letters, we have concluded to
answer this one through the Enterprise:
Miss B.-Your note is under reply.
We need not waste space in extolling the
good taste of your letter. The fact of
your writing to the Enterprise is sufficient
evidence of most sound discretion.
Teachers here command from S 100 to $500
per month in gold coin. Board COSTS
about $35 per month, and lodging from
$15 to $75, according to the caprice of
the lodger. Female domestics command
from $35 to $40 per month, with board
included, of course. Whether you could
obtain situation as teacher we cannot
say. Itwould depend on many things.
In the first place our present teachers
are probably the best teachers in the
world. If you were to come you would
have to wait for a vacancy; and then if
you are not fine-looking you could not
pass the examination of our Superin-
tendent, who is single man; and if you
are very beautiful, the apprehension
would be that you would get married be-
fore you learned the names of your
pupils. We do not think private
school would succeed, except behind it
was the capital to build fine structures
and furnish them with the apparatus of
the modern school-room. About getting
employment in private families there is
but one difficulty The confidence of
our families has been SO often abused
that they are demoralized, and have set
tied down to believe there is nothing re-
liable but a Chinamau, and he cannot be
depended on about the time of the Chi
nese New Year. The difficulty lies in
the fact that there are more of those
brutes here called men than there are OF
those angels called women, and the men
have way of coaxing which, general
ly, in about four weeks, transforms an
Eastern girl-who came here with the
best of intentions to work faithfully, lay
up great deal of money, and go back
and support her mother-into IA wife,
with her time divided between presiding
over her own home and hunting around
town for a Chinaman to do her house
work. If this last suggestion is of any
interest to you, you may depend upon
the miners living here, and may know in
advance that any one of them has more
reverence for and appreciation of 8
worthy woman than a thousand of the
youths of Vermont, who, being brought
up among so many women, never realize
that they are really angels in Disguise
