How 70 Keen we,,iu suuw.r.

This warm weather makes all careful house.
keepers see to it that the entire premises of the
household are thoroughly clean. Bedrooms are
summed and ventilated, bedclOthes are at least
once week placed in the open air, the living
rooms have abundant ingress of sun and air, and
everything that can give birth to a disagree
able smell is put where it can do no harm. The
illness of the Royal family of England, caused by
an imperfect piece of plumbing which induced
sewer gases into the palace, should serve as a
warning to all those who have in their houses
bathroom, with the usual cOnveniences. Dilu-
ted carbolc acid, copperas water or lime water,
will thoroughly purify all drain pipes and keep
them Inoifenslve, II applied often enough. Alum
dance of dry earth will disinfect and deOdorize
all offensive substances. There is really no need
of having any but pure air and pleasant smells
about country house.
The custom of taking down heavy wooden or
silk curtains in the Summer, of replacing Brus-
sells and Administer, carpets with mating, u.s.
ing light Summer furniture instead of that stuff
ed and covered with reps brOcatele, has its foun-
datiOn more in hygiene and comfort than in fash
ion or economy. Those who are familiar with
recent discoveries which have given rise to what
is known the germ theory Ofdisease, will read
lily see why and how mating is far more heal
thy Summer carpet than Brussels why it is
wise to remove in Summer all wooden articles
which are such excellent absOrbents and re-
place them with those easily cleaned, and that
do not readily absorb atmospheric substances.
The curtains, carpets and furniture in daily use
in our living rooms if placed under the lens of a
powerful microscope, would preach effective SER
mons TO untidy housekeepers Some of these, by
continual use, become actually poisonous, and
doubtless induce disease. The drinking water of
the family needs looking after, and nothing short
of certainty that it is free from faint should be
accepted. Fatal cases of typhoid have arisen
from drinking water which gave no sign that it
was not pure. IL is not safe to drink from
springs and rivulets by the roadside or in the
woods unless we know that all the sources of
those waters are pure. Typhoid and typhus fe-
yer are a reproach to civilization, and cannot
possibly occur except through violation of the
laws of cleanliness and drainage. Where health
is concerned there is less objection to the great
failing of good housekeepers of spending 50 much
valuable time on the 'mnt, anise and cummin, -
with the risk of overlooking the HeightIer mat
tiers of the law

Aberdeen Scotch.

The Edinburgh RerieU has the following good
one: An English clergyman and Lowland
Scotsman visited one of the best schools in Aber-
deem. They were strangers, but the master re-
ceived them icivilly, and inquired, 'Would you
prefer that l should speer these boys, or that
You should speer them yourselves :" The Eng
lish clergyman having ascertained that to speer
meant to question, desired the master to proceed.
He did so with great success, aud the boys an
swered satisfactorily numerous inteTrogatories as
to the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. The
clergyman then said he would be glad in his turn
to speer the boys, and at began, " How did
Pharaoh die!' There was a dead silence. In
this dilemma the Lowland gentleman interposed
81 think, sir, the boys not accustomed to your
English accent; let me try what l can make of
them" And he inquired in broad Scotch, 50 Hoo

Planning Corn for Fodder.

EDITOR RardI Uorld: propose to put my ex.
perience in growing corn fodder, on paper fol
your inspection, as the time has now come when
prairie grass cannot be depended upon for hay
for Winter in many places. My plan is to pillow
my land early, and then about the 18th of june
to the list of July, l cultivate and harrow my
land and get it in the best practicable condition
to receive the seed. then take my planter "a
Climax and plant the ground, dropping three to
five grains in hill, fifteen to twenty inches
apart in row; when | have gone over my land,
/ turn about and straddle the row and plant it
over again. Thus have my rows two feet apart
and my hills fifteen to twenty inches in the rows.
When planted roll the land. After the corn is
well up, harrow with Thomas harrow twice.
and the cultivation is done. Now for the har-
vesting: My corn is in rows and hills, and my
ground is clean put thirty rows in a shock,
measuring my ground square to each shock. l
commence by measuring off the ground for each
shock, and tying four hills together; then l cut
with a corn knife, and set up five rows on each
side and tie with stalk, and so on till l have
gone over my patch, cutting, setting up aud ty-
ing one-third of my shocks. When it has cured
from five TO seven days, cut another five rows
on each, and tie as before. When that has cured
from three to five days, / cut and put up the
other five rows, on each side, and tigh well and
tight close to the top, and the work is done.

my fodder on the ground, but set it up as cut.
