4 Few Drops OF Ammonia viii Sny,

Housekeeyers, purchase good supply of
ammonia 10 use in house cleaning. The
husband has everything that will tighten
MS labors. Now, suppose mis- vile had her
bottle OF spirits of ammonia 10 use: she |
takes her basin OF water and a clean cloth, |
Just puts on n few drops OF the fuid, and |
wipes off all the dirt ii is worth more than |
half days hard labor, and does not hurt the !
paint either. She could pat lew drops m |
her dish water, and see CIV easily the |
dishes could be cleaned: lew drops on |
the sponge would clean ali the windows in |
the sitting room, making them shine like |,
crystal. IL would take the stains Off the |
teaspoons too, and tablespoonful in the !
mop-pail would do more towards washing
up the kitchen floor than ten pounds of ell
bow grease applied to the mop-handle. \
housewife has Just rs much right to make
her work easy and expeditions As her hus-
band has. Ii she does not do 1t, the FAULT
is her own in n great measure.

Aas,reT-l 1t is not known. The first
account OF reaping machines is given by
Piiny in 4. d., %. He describe, a cart
used by Gaul with a series of projecting
combs in front, which removed the heads of
the grain, leaving the straw standing. The
machine wa much like the modern clover

DO Not Make n Drudge Of Your W ife.
lColman's Rural World, nj
As a rule, men should do the milking on
the farm; the housewife should not he COM
PEELED TO do 1t. She has enough of the III
door work to attend to-cOoklnG, washing,
making and mending clothes and the rear
! ins of children. Ii she has any spare time,
let her devote it to the flower garden, or to
some other recreation calculated to cheer,
enliven and give her health, rather than So
throw upon her, burdens she Is not able to
tear, neither belong TO her TO curry. Some
men have no sense OF propriety, as TO what
sort Of work, or how much OF 1t, is heaped
upon the good wife. IL makes no difference
| if she does perform work out of her sphere
continually without complaining, the shame
| is on him all the same, who will sit quietly
down and allow it. Ii there are daughters
old enough, or female servants, they may,
with propriety, do the milking, or assist in
doing if, but il is no part OF the wife or
mothers duties, ordinarily.
| " hen aud AT What SIZE 10 Plant
Trees.
| IInter-Ocean.l
Trees are frequently transplanted when
their size is large. Indeed, it was in this
way that Louis Napoleon planted trees in
| Paris, to the great delight OF the Farisians
and to the benefit OF his popularity. Some
Of the authorities say that the tree should
he transplanted only in the early winter,
when frost has kept the earth well about
the roots. We have seen trees OF good size
successfully transplauted in spring. The
hole in which they are to be planted should
be quite large, and plenty of fork soil, made
very fine, should be put IN the bottom and
along the sides. The tree, with plenty OF
earth about it, may be put carefully into
\ the hole, with plenty Of rich earth 10 cover
to the level OF the ground, and banked
somewhat against the trunk. Water i'm
mediately and well, 50 that the earth may
be settled about the roots. One way to
| obtain a tree Is 10 select one from the
| cTumbling embankment OF new road
alongside wood. Ii comes away without
breaking the roots 50 much a. ii you aug
ali around it. Before YOU take out your
tree make chalk mark on the side toward
the north, and, when you transplant, let
lie chalk mark come again toward The
north. Ever reens do not bear transplant
ing when of ! rye size. Fins six or eight
inches through foot from the ground DO
we'll when carefully transplanted, bat thee
are the l,r-est sizes transpl anted.

To Prevent Mise rses s0 Hogs.
rGIobe Democrat, -.
The internal vital organs Of the hog. are
yery much like those Of man. Hogs Ore
subject % many diseases that men are sub
iect to. 4 severe cold produces pneum..n-
ia in man. and in hogs it produces the same
disease. Tens OF thousands of hogs die
yearly by this disease. The preventative
is good feed, good shelter, warm and dry
bedding. II hogs lay out on the cold, wet
ground, if they and their bedding are ex-
posed t. rain and sleet and snow, IL it any
wonder that they take cold. get the pneu-
monia and die? Men subject to the same
treatment would die. The hog has not fur
or wool, or hair, or if called hair, a very
coarse article il is TO shield it from cold or
storms. Hence good shelter, dry beds and
kind treatment are very essential 10 keep
hogs healthy and thriving.
