How TO PAPER WALLs.-In paperine
walls be sure to remove all the old paper
and paste and scrape them perfectly
smooth. Dampen the old paper with
cloths wet in saleratus water, and it will
come off easily; fill up the cracks with
plaster of Paris, and if there are any
traces of bugs, wash the wall all over
with a weak solution of carbolic acid
and water; this will purify the wall and
destroy all mold and vermin. The best
paste is made out of rye -four with two
ounces of glue added to each quart
of paste. Many deaths have ensued
from this cause; the air of many sleep
ing rooms has been thus poisoned. In
some old houses several layers of paper
have been found upon the walls of rooms
and their inmates have died and none
could tell whence came the disease.

PREPARING CHICKEN FEArHERs.-I

PREPARING CHICKEN FEATHERs.-B.
Benjamin, New York, wrote as follows
II read in Bostoa journal, not long
ago, a new use of chicken feathers, which
may bring large profits. The operations
is to Gu. the plume portions OF the feath-
ers from the stems by means of ordinary
shears or scissors. The former are placed
in quantities in coarse bag, which,
when full, is tied up and subjected to a
thorough kneading with the hands. By
this process the feathers in few min,
utes become disaggregated and felted to,
gether, forming a down of great light
ness, which thus prepared, in Paris
brings two dollars per pound. This
would make the feathers of an ordinary
sized hen worth about twenty cents, as
the yield would be in the neighbnrhood
of 16 Troy ounces. send it to the
club, so that by spring there may be a
large quantity of the down made by
children, to be disposed of at good prices
to the upholsterer, if not needed for
domestic use at home.-N Y. Farmers

What Will Pay.

Year after year the crops are moved
of without returning anything to the
soil. Manures are put under the rains
and the dropping of caves until they are
drained of their best material and rem
dered nearly useless. This could be
obviated by building cheap sheds to
cover the manure as thrown from the
stables. This can be done at small
cost and will pay. Winter is not good
time to build but for such purpose as
this it is better to build now than not at
all. Plaster should also be used in the
stables to prevent the escape of ammonia
and care should be taken to keep it in
as good condition as possible. IF the
barns and yards are so situated that the
wastings are carried off by every rain a
little time with team pillow and scraper
will make ditch Ga broad open one it
should beg around the barn on three
sides, then at all times keep the trash
and litter which naturally accumulates
about the barn. The ditch will hold the
water, ETC., from the yard and cause the
straw to rot rapidly and will afford a
large quantity of good manure. When
the manure is removed in the spring,
the ditch can be filled with wheat straw
upon which few bushels of lime has
been scattered; then as fast as it rots
pile it up in the ditch and fill the spaces
between each pile with straw, and so on.
In the fall there will be fine pile of
manure, which will renovate the worn
ont field, or to scatter on the exposed
knolls on the wheat field, preventing
winter killing. Another great waste is
the large crop of weeds, which each year
Is allowed to 60 to seed and spread all
over adjoining farms.
Using too much hard labor is another
way of wasting on the farm. Many ma
chimes can now be used to save much of
this labor. More horse-powers must be
used. And after we have raised cur
crops they should he all fed out on the
farm. 1t is much cheaper to ship corn,
oats, etc, in the form of meat, than to
send it in bulk as raised; besides the
soil is made richer instead of constantly
producing capacity.-Prairie

Farmers Children.

The American farmer, in all his p'an-
ming and all his building. has never
made any provision for life. He has on
ly considered the means of getting a
living. Everything outside of this
everything relating to society and cul-
ture-Ias been steadily ignored. He
gives his children the advantages OF
schools, not recognizing the fact that
these very advantages call into life a
new set of social wants. A bright, we'll
educated family in lonely farmhouse
is a very different material from family
brought up in ignorance. An American
farmers children who have had a few
terms at neighboring academy resem-
BILE in no degree the children OF the
European peasant. They come home
with new ideas and new wants, and if
they find no opportunities for their sat
isfaction, they will be ready on reaching
their majority, to fly the farm and seek
the city.
If the American farmer wishes to keep
his children near him, he must learn the
difference of living and getting living;
and we mistake him and his grade of
culture altogether if he does not stop
over this statement and wonder what we
mean by it. To get 4 living, to make
money, to become "forehanded;" this Is
the whole OF life to agricultural multi
tudes, discouraging in their numbers to
contemplate. To them there is 10 DIFF.
ference between living and getting a
living. Their whole life consists in get
ting a living; and when their families
come back to them from schooling, and
find that, really, this is the only pursuit
that has any recognition under the pa
ternal roof, they must go away. The
boys push to the centers or the cities,
and the girls follow them if they can. A
young man or a young woman raised to
the point where they apprehend the diff
ference between living and getting liv-
ing, can never be satisfied with the lat
ter alone. Either the farmers children
must be kept ignorant, or provision must
be made for their social wants. Brains
and hearts need food and clothing as
we'll as bodies; and those who have
learned to recognize brains and hearts as
the best and most important of their
personal possessions, will go where they
can find the ministry.
What is the remedy? How shall farm
ers manage to keep their children near
them? How can we discourage influx
of unnecessary-nay,b urdensome-pop
ulation into the cities? We answer
By making agricultural societies attrac
tive. Fill the farmhouse with books
and periodicals. Establish central read
ing rooms or neighborhood clubs. En-
courage the social meetings of the young
have concerts, lectures, improvement
associations. Establish bright, active,
social life. that shall give some sign;fi-
canoe to labor. Above all, build as far
as possible in villages. 1t is better to go
a mile to ones daily labor, than to place
ones self a mile away from a neighbor.
The isolation of American farm life is
the great curse of that life, and it falls
upon the women with hardship that
the men can not appreciate, and drives
the educated young away.-,Sc, i6aer's
Monthly.

CONDITION OF FARMING.-The Mich
igan Farmer says that the farming in
dustry is sound, healthy, strong and
vigorous industry to-day. There is no
over production, no surplus stock, but a
fair demand. There is a better show for
the farmer than almost any other trade
or profession. Labor is cheaper, ma
chinery and tools are cheaper, and the
farmer can buy his supplies and grocer
les at old anti-war rates. And farmers
are in a position financially to take ad-
vantage of existing circumstances.

White Bread or Brown.

Comparatively few people in the West
are aware that the flour ana ''-aad which
they admire for wilderness ale ,,,.void of
all of the strengthening qualities of the
wheat. "Bread Is the staff of life" only
when it contains nutritive constituent.
There is no nutrition in starch. or if any
only small percentage: and yet it is
only the starch of wheat that is used in
the manufacture of the flower in general
use. Directly under the woody fibre,
composing the skin of the wheat kernel,
we find the real meat of the grain. As
is the case with animal meat, it contains
phosphates which, taken into the stom-
ache, assimilate with the system and
it. Shall we throw away or
give to our live stock, this most valuable
portion of every kernel of wheat. because
it is not white and fine like the starch at
the cpre? 1t is vegetable meat, sery.
ing as tolerably good substitute for
aesh-food; hence, in those countries
where it is retained in the -four or meal,
the people subsist much less upon ami
NAL food than we are compelled to do in
this country by our foolish adherence to
the exclusive use of tie emasculated fine
white products of our mills and bakeries.
In cake, certainly, the cooks and bakers
do put in little something that is nu-
tritive. viz: sugar and fruit. hence, no
objection exists, perhaps, to the use Of
the popular flour in making those lux
uries. Griddle cakes, mullins, wafies,
ct IL genus omne, OH the contrary (unless
made partly of Indian maize or corn
meaD, ought to contain all the virtues
of the wheat; made ski.lfully of attri-
ton -four, they are not only healthy but
delicious.

HUSBAND TIE STANDARDIZATION break
down and become unable to perform any
regular duties long before their allotted
time because of injudicious management
of themselves during their early years of
vigor. IC does not pay to abuse our
selves because we have an abundance of
strength, for payment will come for any
waste in manner least acceptable to a
man or his friends. The man who makes
slave of himself upon the farm, and
works early and late every day in the
year, lacks common sense. BY and by
he will be helpless in consequence of the
overstrain, and not only burden upon
himself but upon Others. Judicious
work is the thing to develop vigorous
manhood, but it is wrong for man to
abnse his strength when young and pay
for it SO dearly in old age, when he
should be in the enjoyment of what he
has acquired.
