A Chesp Milk Hsass:

I will give 4 description Of cheap
milk house-such house as any one can
have If they will. Grandfather's Is Of
hewn logs; the foundation of stone, one
foot below the ground surface and six
inches Stove, laid in lime and sand.
The roof; of shingles, extending some
four feet over the door; door in north
end, window in east side; banked q few
inches all around to keep dry. Ground
floor of nice clean gravel, got q: the
creek. A floor is laid overhead, of plank
to assist in equaiisibg the temperatdfe.
The receptacle for the crooks is trough
made of two-inch plank, water-tight,
reaching full length Of the building from
outside to outside. The water enters
from q lead trough four feet long ct left
of door, and goes out the other end |;
after running some fifteen feet it enters
a large trough where the work horses
and the cows always slake their thirst
in summer. The water at no time is
more than four inches deep. 1t is need
less to say that id the warmest weather
they have cool milk and good butter.

A Word to Farmers.

The New York Herald says that never
before, within the memory of any living
man, has Europe been so scourged by
storms and floods with destruction and
death in their path, as she has been dur
ing the month just ended.
The devastating results must affect the
price of grain for France, Germany and
Austria have millions of farming lands
get inundated. All over Europe the
price is advancing, and it will not be
lower until the next crop comes in.
We may not have here another such
year as last year was for all the cereals
and grasses, and our farmers will all find
it will pay them to husband all they
have. If another bountiful crop should
be gathered this year, We can easily feed
all surplus to hogs, cattle and sheep, and
thus be independent as to meat. If a
short crop of grain and grass should hap.
pen this year, saving what is now on
hand will obviate the necessity of buying
from the north at high prices.

Plant Large Seed,

Prof. e. c. Caldwell, of Cornell Uni
versity, in a recent article in the Ne,o
York Tribune, gives condensed account
of some interesting experiments recently
conducted by couple of German savants
with view to asceftaining the compar-
ative value of large and small seed.
Even the condensation of the experiment
is too lengthy for our narrow limits, and
We can only give the result In trief.
Beans and peas were the seeds employed
in the trials made. In height of plants,
quickness of growth, largeness of yield,
excellence of product, weight and quail
ity of kernels, the advantage was SO con-
on the side of the large seed as
to leave no doubt of the policy to be
pursued by the cultivator. The proper
ton of seed that pushed its growth above
ground was greatly with the large sam
pie, many smaller plants terminating,
but producing plants too feeble to push
their heads above the ground.

WEDDING CAKE.-One pound of but
ter, one pound of sugar, nine eggs, one
pound IF -four, three pounds of clean
currants, two pounds of stoned raisins,
one-half tea cup of wine or brandy, from
ohe-half to three-quarters pound of
citron, one grated nutmeg, some mace
and cinnamon. Rub the butter an d
sugar together; when light, add first
the yolks then the whites of the esgs-
the yolks and whites of the eggs to be
beaten separately-then put in nearly
all your flour, keeping out just enough
to dust your raisins and cement them;
cut your citron into such slices as you
like, and put in as you put the cake in
the pan; after mixing your fruit in the
cake grease four-quart pan carefully
line it with clean straw paper, little
grease (butter) on the paper; put your
cake in and bake in not too quick an
oven, for it burns easily. After it is
baked take it out of the pan, paper and
all, and let it cool. The next day, to
keep it fresh and moist, put it back in
the pan, or in a tin cake-box, and keep it
tightly covered.

Seed Corn.

Whoever undertakes to farm or garden
without reading good agricultural
paper, or two, caves at the spigot and
loses at the bung." have long thought
that the cultivation, or rather improve
ment of the corn crop, which is our
staple, has received too little attention,
both by writers and growers, so years ago
l commenced experimenting with it. and
have succeeded, l think admirably. Why
a man should go to his crib in the spring
after the ground is all ready to r4aht,
and hastily select what comes to hand
and plant it 1t random, not knowing
whether one-half or whether any of it
will sprout, is matter of establishment
to me. Thousands of people plant from
their own raising, year after year, when
a little foresight and labor or expense In
procuring better seed would repay them
= hundred fold. have originated one
variety at least Of corn of very great
promise. The ears are uniformly large,
measuring from eleven to thirteen inches

thorough trial 1 find that over 80 per
cent. of the kernels will grow. 1 have

Think OF the Children

Every boy residing in the country
should he taught how 10 bud, graft and
propagate seeds from plants and cuttings
as we'll as receive few lessons in vege-
table physiology, at least enough to ena-
BILE him to determine the principal organs
of reproduction, in order that he may
know how the different varieties of corn
become mixed when planted near to-
gether, as well as many other kinds of
cultivated plants. Five dollars worth of
books and a course of six lectures given
in the country school house or elsewhere
by some one who knows how to explain
such things in simple, easily understood
language, would. in nine cases out of ten
make the boy believe that the farm was,
as it is, the best place in the world for
amusing and instructive study.

When Brooklyn woman wants new
dress and feels little delicate about
asking for it direct, she presents her
husband with a nice beaded shaving
paper-case, filled with tissue from an old
paper pattern. The first time he uses it
he notices the little round holes in the
paper and naturally inquiries the reason,
which gives her the chance to say with
regretfu! sigh that it's only "Domes-
tic Paper fashion" that she would have
used some time ago but for the reason
that she saw he was poor just then and
felt as if she ought TO economic to help
him along. Noble self-denial like this

WARM WATER FOR PLANTs.-Eye

WARM WATER FOR PLANTs.-Every
yesr the practice Of using water quite
warm to the hand, grows in favor with
me, and now couldn't give plant the
smallet sip of cold water. being sure that
it would injure it. Saucers are quite
needfnl, and every pot should be sup
piled with one, and if it is filled with
boiling water every morning. it will add
to the luxuriance Of the plant, and fire.
quently 10 other moisture will be need
ed for several days. The contents of the
tea pot are also eficacious in plant
growth, and the tea leaves can be added
in small quantities to the soil in the pots
Ivies are always beautified by an appli-
cation of tea leaves and tea, and it is an
excellent thing to wet q sponge in tea
and moisten the leaves with it, as it
wipes off all the dust which accumulates
upon them continually.

SUGAR BEErs IN NEBRAsKA.-From
Nebraska there comes reports of enor-
nous crops of field beets. Mr.. A. Smith,
of Rock Bluffs. reports a yield of thirty
seven and half tons on one acre. The
thirty-seven and a half tons of beets,
manufactured into sugar would produce
5000 pounds of sugar, and estimating
this worth nine cents per pound, the
money value of the beets grown on one
acre would lie $50. Mr.. Smith has
demonstrated that beets can be grown
in sufficient quantity to make sugar
making an important branch of industry
and the analysis of Prof. Baker, indi-
Gates that the quality is suitable. But
ne one will grow beets for profit until
there is q mandatory. The statement
is interesting as showing the possibilities
of the product.

LEMON SYRUP.-Press your hand on
the lemon, and roll it back and forth
briskly on the table to make it squeeze
more easily; then press the juice into q
bowl or tumbler-never into a tin
strain out all the seeds as they give a
bad taste. Remove all the pulp from
the peels and boil in water-a pint for q
dozen pulps-to extract the acid. A
few minutes boiling is enough; then
strain the water with the juice of the
demon, put q pound Of white sugar to a
pint of the Juice; boil ten minutes, bot
'tle;it, and your lemonade is ready. Put
a tablespoonful or two of this lemon
sirupiinis glass Of water, and you have a
cooling, heelthful drink.

1t seems as though the fowl in its do
mesticated state, was the special aid and
comfort of the poor, as they can natur-
ally keep but few, and usually succeed
better than those who keep large focks.
The secret of the successful management
of large numbers will be- found in adher-
ing to the following rules; let each
family net exceed fifteen or twenty in
make yourself acquainted with
their habits; understand all their wants,
and supply them; do not increase too
fast, and never allow one family to tres.
pass on the grounds of another.

A ?sad On Every Farm.

Kansas has no lakes, no swamps, no
sloughs. We thus gain much in arabic
l&nds and in escaping noxious exhala-
tons. We lose In natural fountains for
stock water, and we lose in rainfall. A
pond on every farm would fill the air with
moisture and feed the clouds with rain.
The water evaporated from the ponds
would be distributed over the farm in
showers, and again feed the springs and
ponds. The air does the work of q n.y.
drulic ram, ever pumping up, straining
and raining back the water and never
wasting adrop. Now We allow too much
water to leave us. to 60 into the ocean
and into clouds and rain for other skies
than ours.
Kansas can easily be made a land of
lakes or ponds. 1t is within the power
of almost every farmer to have one or
more ponds on hts quarter section. All
that is necessary is to build a wall across
a ravine or gully. There are depressions
of land on every farm; close one up and
permit it to retain the water that now
wastes to the river and sea. Sometimes
these gullies are shaped like trough or
the letter v, and can be esily shut up.
The railroad companies have made such
enclosures ia some part of the State near
the wells that supply their tanks. Such
wells never fail.
When the pond is made it soould he
surmounted with willows, cottonwoods
or other trees. They will protect and
beautify it. Not fiiany years hence such
ponds will gladden. the landscape all
over our prairies. The idea is abroad
and is being acted upon. Its utility and
its beauty will make it contagious.
Every pond makes home for trees and
birds and is barrier 10 grasshoppers.
A pond on every farm would SO moisten
the air as to change our climate and
make it too Vet for the hopper to breathe
id. Hoppers come in the dry years and
in dry localities. They stay west of the
Mississippi. We must make it too wet
fer them TO come here. Throw that wall
across the ravine and build your pond
