A Small Green House.

a small green house may be erected
eighteen feet long. and nine feet wide.
The highest part at the back of the lean
TO is seven feet seven inches: from the
ground 10 the roof, in front is three
feet. The door is dug down two and
half feet. An excavation deeper than
the floor is made for the stove, which is
set near the front, but not quite In the
centre of the line east and west. A
glazed terra-cotta pipe runs from a short
galvanized pipe attached to the stove,
about three-fourths of the length OF the
building, under a wide shelf at the
front, then crosses the eastern end of
the house, (the house faces south) and
runs up the northeast corner nearly TO
the roof. and then passes outside, where
il rises three or four feet. The top Is
closed. but several apertures beneath
allow the egress of the smoke. There
are four elbows to thepipe, the last one
resting on a wooden bracket outside of
the house, where it is held securely by
strong wires. \ wide table runs along
the front of this house. A narrow path
way interyenes between this and the
stage of four steps which fills all the
rest OF the house, except the pathway
between the two stages which runs
from the main path to the door; that
opens three-fourthso of the way from the
east end, and is placed in the north wall.
From the door We step into narrow
passage-way, or shed. lighted by win
dow in the east end, and leave it by a
door in the west end. This passage pro-
tects the house at the north. and pre-
vents a draft of cold air when the door
is opened. Three flat wooden shutters
on top allow of ventilation. The glass
in front is also set on hinges, and per
nits of more or less ventilation.
When the sun becomes too powerful,
panes made of lath are Laid over the
roof. and are left there all Summer tC

dued light and prevent the trouble OF
white-washing the glass
The whole cost Of this house was al.
most exactly $4,000; the lath-work Of
the roof costing an extra $3.50. IL hai
been used nearly two Winters.

AGRICULTURE.

kiSbs oy BARLEy.-Just at barley
harvest the inquiry comes to us about
the difference between two and six
rowed barley, and which is the best for
cultivation. The six-rowed barley Is
the earliest, and if in equally good con-
dition, il is worth an average OF ten
cents per bushel more than the two.
rowed, for the reason that 1t is heavier
and malts easier. Brewers whose repu-
tations depend on the quality OF their
beer. paw literally for best barley, and
il always pays to harvest with the
greatest care. Slovenly care makes lt
the poorest crop a man can raise For
the last five years barley has been an
unavoidable crop either TO sell or 10
feed. The two-rowed barley is later
quality, harder to germinate, but It's
advantages are, stronger and longer
straw, larger grains, and by feeders Is
said to be more nutritious. The SIX
rowed is the best for brewers, but the
two-rowed best for feeders. In the
Middle States they usually sow two and
one-half bushels per acre. In the west
IL has not been the practice TO sow quite
as much. Ii should always be sown
early-as soon as the ground can be got
ready for il. In the Northwest 1t can
be profirably sown as soon as the sur
face of the ground is thawed three or
four inches. Fall blowing is the best
for il, but the tests between broadcast
and drilling have not established whlcn
is best. In all fall sowing OF grain,
drilling is preferable, being able te
stand the winter better.

SPLITTING LOGS WITH POWDER
Where circular saws are in use, not of
sufficient diameter to divide large
trunks, it is asserted that trees partly
sawn through may be neatly split with
powder, or split even without any saw
ing. If hole be bored in the wood of
one inch diameter, and in depth little
more than half the thickness of the
trunk, about one-third the length of
the log from the butt-end, and is near
as possible to the centre, powder and
fuse put in, and the hole filled up with
sand, single blast is sufficient TO split
log of considerable length, which il
does generally, almost as clean as the

AN EXCELLENT DEssERT.-An excel
lent dish for dessert, which is fsvorite
one in a family of our acquaintance, is
made OF tapioca and apples. The apples
are prepared as for stewing aud placed
In deep dish with a proper quantity
of ;apioca which has been slightly
softened by soaking. Sugar is added 10
sweeten it and TO prevent the fruit from
becoming too soft, and the whole is
then baked in the oven. Eaten with
cream. either hot or cold, this Is most
palatable dessert. 4 preparation of
of equally good quality may be made by
using peaches instead of apples, and in
winter canned fruit is quite as good for
the purpose as the fresh.

SwINE.-Most farmers have noticed
that in fattening swine, especially when
they are crowded, rapidly, they appear
weak in their hind legs, and sometimes
lose the use of them entirely. An i'll
telligent farmer says that he and his
neighbors have made practice of feed
ing bone meal in such cases, and find
that a small quantity mixed with the
daily feed will prevent any weakness,
and will strengthen the animal so as to
admit of the most rapid forcing. As
the bone meal l. known to be preven-
tive of cripple all, and weakness in cows,
IL looks reasonable that il should also
be a benefit to hogs, which are often
confined 10 a diet containing but little
bOne-making material.

SHEEP AS FERTILiZISG AGESTs.-More
than once, and ON more than one farm,
l have seen dry, barren spots, such as
gravel knobs ana side hills made fertile
and productive in single season, sim
ply by sailing q small flock of sheep on
these barren spots twice week during
the summer. The sheep would be sure
to resort there several times a day 10
lick up the salt, and thus leave their
droppings, both liquid and solid, which
are very rich fertilizers; then the next
season, the most rank and luxuriant
growth5 of grass or grain would be pro-
duced on these "galled spots" of any
other portion of the field; thus the best
kind OF manure was applied and spread
Just where most wanted without any
hard labor. Weight for weight, sheep
manure is more fertiliizing than either
horse or COW manure, and next i'll value

IMPROVE THE SEED WHEAT.-We may
very well take the trouble TO improve
the varieties of wheat we have, and
which we know to be good, so as TO en-
large the yield and better the quality.
The best attainable yield is somewhere
about sixty bushels per acre; the best
weight per bushel about sixty-siX
pounds. The best crops now grown in
tnis country yield about forty bushels,
and the best weight is not more than
sixty 10 sixty-two pounds per bushel-
W here such craps as these are grown IL
would not be De difficult TO reach a
maximum product If We could add some
what 10 the proiificness OF the seed and
increase its size and weight. But what
shall be said as TO those ordinary crops
which reach but ten bushels per acre.
and which have year by year grown
less and less by neglecting to improve
the seed. Here there is abundant room
for the most certain Improvements.
There can be no doubt that better prepa-
ration of the soil and the use of good
seed would result in large and imme-
diate improvement. Then by selecting
the best ears from each crop and sowing
these upon soil still better prepared the
yield could be gradually brought up TO
q high, if not the highest point. Sixty
bushels per acre, if not more, have heen
produced by one farmer, who has been
patiently engaged for ears in lmprov-
ing his grains by selecting the best each
year and using the best methods of cul-
tiyatiOn.
