HOW TO HANG PICTURES.

No picture ought to be hung higher
than the height OF the average human
eye when the owner of the eye is stand
ing. 1t is the almost universal rule in
our houses to hang pictures much high
eraboYe this level, and they cannot be
enjoyed there. If the picture is por-
trait, or if il have human faces in it, its
eyes should look as nearly into ours as
possible; and if there be no such simple
guide, perhapsa good rule will be to have
the line that divides the picture hori-
zontally into equal parts level with the
eye. III one starts in hanging pictures
with the determination to place them
so that they can be easily seen and en-
joyed without stretching the neck the
least or STOPPING the body, he VIII be
pretty sure to do well. In remote farm
houses and country taverns we often see
pictures, particularly portraits, skyed as
high as if the owners had been Academy
Hangers, and the painters young rivals
of new school. suppose the reason
is that the Supplemented owners think
a picture such precious thing it can
not be hung too securely out Of the reach
of meddling hands. They are often not
clear in their minds as to what picture
is meant for, and not finding in it any
practical relation to human life and So
ciety, they treat it with reverence anG
put it where it will disturb them as little
as possible. But as people come to en-
JOY pictures and get some intellectual,
spiritual nourishment out of them, they
want them as they want their books,
where they see them and use them

FIRE IN BEDROOMS.

Most people, even many intelligent re-
formers, have the idea that to sleep in a
cold room is good-essentiaI to health.
1t is an error. 1t is better to have an
open fire in your bedroom. The at
mosphere is not only by this means con-
stantly changed, but with the fire
you will keep the window open, which
will add greatly to the needed ventila-
ton. But more than this, with the fire
you will have fewer bedclothes over you,
which is another gain, as a large num-
ber of blankets not only interferes some
what with the circulation and respira-
ton, but prevents the escape of those
gases which the skin is certainly emitting.
Even furnace or stove heat with an open
window is better than close, cold room.
Interchange with the external atmos-
phere depends upon the temperature of
the air within and without. But let us
have the fire. Let us go without silks,
broadcloths, carpets and finery of all
kinds if necessary, that We may have
this purifier and diffuser of joy in all
our houses. In my own house / have
ten open CRATES and find that coal at
eleven dollars, the expense is frightful,
and if it were nany other department, of
house keeping, should feel could not
afford it; but in this | do not finch, so
important do deem an open fire.-DiO

KEEPING FARM ACCOUNTS,

There is, perhaps, no class of business
men more neglectful of accounts than
farmers; and it is questionable whether
there are any that would be more bene-
fitted by attending to the matter. We
append some of the many reasons why
farmers should keep some general and
accurate records. and in our next may
add some more, giving perhaps an out
line of some simple form for so doing.
1t has tendency to induce thought,
whereby the standard of agriculture is
advanced. Ii assists the farmer to be
quick and accurate in figures; increases
his knowledge of doing business and of
accounts. 1t gives him positive knowl-
edge of his own business and assists to
make all parties with whom he is doing
business, correct and honest in their
dealings. l. enables him to decide upon
those branches Of farming which pay
the best, so that he may direct his ener-
gies accordingly. 1t gives judgment
which amounts to positive knowledge,
whereby his opinions take preference of
those who guess at conclusions. There
is an old adage, Figures won't lie." BY
examining his accounts he is able to see
where he has spent money he need not.
and where he could have saved money
he did not.

DON'T CHOP WITH A POOR AXE.

Chopping with poor axe is like now
ing grass, or like cradling grain with a
cradle that is not fit for use. A great
many choppers VIII hack, hack, HACK,
all day with an old poor axe, using up
sufficient muscle to chop two cords of
wood, while with that old Stub" not
more than half cord will be chopped.
1t is the WORT sort of policy to chop
with such an old and worn out tool, as a
chopper with good axe, during a few
days, will earn more than enough TO can
eel the difference between the prices of
a new axe and the old one. Chopping
is fatiguing labor, even when a chop
per is provided with good axe. If the
steel at the edge of an axe has been in
use SO long that it will not retain salts
factory edge. or if the corners have been
broken off or worn away so that the
edge, is as circular as a small wheel,
better cast the axe away and procure a
new one In case there is satisfactory
amount of steel at the edge, let the part
of the tool near the cutting edge be
ground down to a proper thickness.
But when grinding, beware of reducing
it too thin. Many a good axe has been
spoiled simply by being ground too thin
near the cutting edge. The steel close
to the cutting edge must be left suffi-
ciently thick to possess the necessary
strength required TO resist the strain
when the edge is entering hard and
knarly timber. When the steel near
the cutting edge is ground so thin that it
is no thicker than a piece of paper, no
axe can be expected TO long retain a
good cutting edge. Many choppers sup
pose that the thinner the steel is ground
near the cutting edge, the more rapidly
they will be enabled TO chop. But
there never was more grave mistake.
IL nothing was required when chopping
but to cut off the grain of the wood, a
very thin axe would be the best. But
the point of the axe near the edge should
be of such a form as to heaye out the
chips as the grain of the timber is sever
ed. In order to accomplish this point
most efficiently, the cutting edge from
the front corner to the inside corner
should not be circular more than one
fourth to one-haif an inch. Then the
steel should be bevelled gradually to-
ward each corner from a point about one
inch back of the middle of the cutting
edge. If fground in this way, that pecu-
liar form of the axe will heave out chip
at almost every blow.-PrGcticaL Farm

MILKING CowS.-The milk of COWS
soon after they have calved contains
more butter, and is much more easily
churned, than it is afterwards. About
five months after calving the milk under
goes change, and the cream is not only
less in quantity, hut the butter globules
are smaller The reason why milk
froths in churns is that when it sours,
alcohol is formed by the decomposition
of the sugar or milk, and this causes the
milk, when shaken or beaten, TO foam or
froth. If this frotb exists to a large ex-
tent, butter will not come, and the milk
is useless for churning purposes. The
longer a COW is MIXED after calvipg. the
less is the yield of butter, and the less
nourishment is there obtained in her
milk.

Drinking from leaden cup,
For the means Of grander living,
On highways TO pick itup.

Find your wealth by honest toll;
Never yotary disappointed
Rightly sought the generous soul.
Only faint weak hearts repining
Cast away the good at hand;

Sought for in a distant land.
But success rides on before you,
Grapple it and you will win;

THE Pacific Rural Press, in speaking
of the selection of seed for planting, re-
iterates the well known fact that in the
seed is concentrated the strength and life
of the plant. In it lie all the possibili-
ties of reproduction, and if the soil and
cultivation be favorable its future course
is sure. 1t is true that in some farm
crops very much depend upon the intro
duction of fresh seeds, bulbs or tubers,
where the tendency seems toward de
generation. These points should re-
ceive the farmers most careful consider
alton and observation.

There is no production, no surplus

Labor is cheaper, machinery and tools
are cheaper, and the farmer can buy his
