It has been found by chemical analysis that
tobacco while undergoing combustion, yields
four hundred and fifty per centmore ncotia than
can be extracted by any other process. The en-

of the most vlrulcnt poisons known. It's effects

Keeping Winter Vegetables /.

After the farmer, those we mean who
cultivate gardens, raise good supply of
vegetables they often fail to realize the
full benefit of their labor from lack of
knowledge how to keep them. This es-
pecially is the case with squashes and
that class of vegetables that require to
be kept comparatively warm and dry.
1t is quite usual for them to put them in
pile in the cellar, and then wonder that
they rot. r.t.. q. I
Squashes, pumpkins and all that class
of vegetables require: First, an absence
of light; second, dry temperature not
exceeding fifty'five OF sixty degrees, and
third, to be so placed that one does not
come in contact with another. We have
always had success in keeping them we'll
into spring by placing them in cool,
dry chamber until freezing occurs, and
then removing them TO a closet for safe
keeping over winter, Thus Hubbard
and other hard -shelled varieties may be
kept until May and even June.
For use until February they will keep
tolerahly we'll in dry cellar placed on
shelves, Boston marrow being the first
to decay. The turban-by the way, to
our mind, one of the best of the winter
varieties, especially for baking-will
often keep in the cellar until March.
Thus only sufficient for use later need be
treated to the dry, cool closet. 1t will
pay, for at the latter part of winter and
early spring there is dearth of vegeta-
BILE food on the farm that makes such
articles especially valuable.-PTatTf'

Prevention of Vermin.

Take four ounces of lard and melt in
an earthen vessel; add to this half tea
spoonful of common carbolic acid, stir
ring we'll until cold. When a brood is
ready to leave the nest grease the hen
with this mixture, under the wings, be-
tween the thighs, and around the vent;
also, with the finger, rub small portion
ON the top of the head, and along the
throat of the chicks, being careful that
none gets in the eyes. Carbolic acid
mixed with air.slacked lime makes a
splendid powder for busting the floor and
crevices of the hen house, destroying ver-
min and all noxious odors, and adds
much to the wholesomeness of the apart
ments. For scaly leg use the follow
ing: Half pint each of common fish
oil and kerosene oil; one.half an ounce of
sulphur with small quantity of carbolic
acid, mixed together. Apply with a
small brush such as painters use for win
dow sash. Apply twice, allowing two
days to intervene between applications.

She Has Got Religion" and Told Her
+tu. . Experience. .-


AS she stood in the audience relating
the great change that had come over her
she displayed an immense mass of hair
wound up on the back part of her head,
upon which was mounted top.knot of a
hat, neither protection from sun or cold,
nor ornamental to behold. She disclosed
beneath half.cast.off shawl corseted
waist which was reduced to such diminu-
tive proportions as to appear painfully
abnormal. She supported paddings,
puffings, panier and pin-back, and a
dress-skirt sadly bedrabbled to a depth
of several inches which it dragged upon
the ground. AS she sat down after her
testimony and an exhortation to her
erring sisters to renounce all pomp and
glory of the world, she piled her fan and
painted very like a ballroom belle who
had waltzed toe long and was dressed
too tightly to breathe with ease. When
at the close Of the meeting the woman
walked away, she had a parasol, fan
and hymn-book to hold in one hand,
and the other was employed in gathering
and holding the front breadth of her
skirts high enough to enable her to step,
while the limit of her mincing gait was
determined by her contracted pin'back
and stilted boot'heels.-M Y, Methodfst,
