In farming the highest and most ex-
tensive knowledge of all known natural
pursuit, combined with eminent skill,
energy, industry and economy, makes
the most perfect farmer. The evidences
are constantly multiplying that farmers
are coming to understand this important
fact. Agriculture as science is CON-
ing to the fore with long strides. 1t is
the science of the future, for there is not
within the scope of mans objects and
pursuits any calling that demands more
of science for its successful prosecution.
In every department of rural economy
science stands at the threshold and in
vites an investigation of the processes
by which the highest success may be at
tanned; and he who gains and employs
the most knowledge of his pursuit, in
any branch of industry, will realize the
fairest reward for his labor.

MANURING FOR POTAToEs.-A CORES
pendent of the american Agricult artist
who possesses considerable experience
in potato growing, recommends "that
the manure be hauled out this winter,
or very early in the spring, and spread
broad cast on the land and plowed in.
The longer it is exposed, spread out on
the surface of the land, the better |
should like it.-Then apply some good
artificial manure on the ridge or hill.
We must give up the notion that manure
rots potatoes.-Now that we have to
fight the bugs, we must plant potatoes
on our best and riches land; plant the
best and most vigorous varieties, and
take good care of them. There is much
money in potatoes, if we can only raise
good crops in unfavorable seasons; and
this we can do if we select good land
manure it we'll, plant early, and take
good care of the crop.

CARE OF BRooMs.-There is an old
saying to the effect that a woman's
housekeeping capacity can be told by
the state in which her broom is kept.
There are many house keepers who al
ways leave their broom standing where
they were last used, and who let the
same broom do duty for parlor, kitchen
and dOorya ard. Now this is obviously
bad economy. Our plan is to keep a
separate broom for the parlor, the dining
room, sleeping room and kitchen. When
the latter is too much worn for use in
the house, send it to the barn; take the
second best for the kitchen, the broom
from upstairs for the dining room, the
parlor broom for the chambers, and let
the new one be kept for parlor and hall.
Many servants have the habit of leaning
heavily on a broom when stopping to
pick up articles found while sweeping;
this soon results in bent and broken
splinters and a worthless broom. When
new broom is purchased provide way
for hanging it up in this wise With
small gimlet bore hole through the
handle, about an inch from the top
draw in piece of strong, waxed Irvine
long enough when tied in hard knot tt
form loop three or four inches long
If broOms be dipped in clean, hot sud-
once every week and dried quickly, the.
will last twice as long.

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS
but ultimate ruin stares that farmer in
the face who does not pay personal at
tention to the minute details of his farm.
There are a thousand small leaks about
the management of an ordinary farm,
that, if not closely attended to, will
surely bring the most Woodworking far
mer to ruin and bankruptcy. A large
portion of the farmers can attribute their
present condition to no other cause than
lack of close attention to the small de-
tails of the farm. Close supervision of
the machinery, tools, stock and their
feed, place for everything and every
thing in its place No hired help is as
much interested in attending to these
duties as the farmer himself. Such a
course would in few months or years
at most, enable many farmers who are
now on down hill grade to again begin
to ascend, and if persevered in will sure
ly make Roadway against what would
otherwise look doubtful.-lMoane Far

Incoming COWS should be treated with

Incoming cows should be treated with
great care. The dry feed will have rem.
dered them liable to infammatory dis
eases. Garget, milk, fever, abortion and
such troubles affect well-fed COWS more
than others. The blood needs cooling
by laxative food. One quart of oil-cake
meal mixed with bran, scalded and
given as drink once a day, will be
useful. No corn should be given for
several weeks before calving. Bran or
middlings will be more cooling and
healthful, but if good hay is given very
little grain of any kind will be needed.
When the calf is expected the cow should
be turned into loose stall, or into a
quiet stable alone.

CURRY THE HoRsE.-"Cleanliness is
next to godliness, the old law says; and
because some horses, after days work
in the field or on the farm, are turned
out to seek resting place In the pas
ture, it is no reason why they should not
be kept clean. Cleanliness adds to health,
and they, one and all, ought to be thor
oughly cleaned daily, no matter whether
they are turned ont or in. Rubbing
with the currycomb or brush circulates
the blood and makes healthy perspira-
ton; and no horse will not carry a fine
coat without it. The farmer will see
the necessity of having his horse washed
and curried every morning before break
fast when tell him that it will increase
the spirits of the animal and fit him for
his days work; and when he is brought
home at night, wet through and covered
with mud, and generally filthy after a
hard days work, in bad weather, the
man who does not see that horse cleaned
off and made comfortable, is not fit to
belong to the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals.-Am. STOCK

BETTER COOKING NEEDED.-One of
our greatest shortcomings in our country
to-day is in the vast amount of careless
and unintelligent cooking. Farmers are
taking lessons in agriculture. They are
studying and investigating many ques-
tions which are constantly arising in
their old but always new business of
tilling the soil. Their wives and daugh-
tiers have need of thought, of study, and
earnest investigation into the economic
principles of cooking. Of course. there
are very many accomplished housekeep-
ers and excellent cooks as there are
very many model farmers, but the best
are generally those who can and will
profit most by study, experiment and
the suggestions of others. The wise are
never too wise to learn, but the foolish
are wise in their own conceit. The bes
farmers, as a rule, are the ones who takt
the agricultural papers, who are sup
porters of our farmers clubs, oranges
and agricultural societies that are dom,
so much good. So the best cooks ar
the ones who are able to make good US
CT cook books, carefully selected recipes
and who take an interest in everythin
that tends to increase their knowledg
and profciency.-7he HuSbandmon.

Every farmer should try to get a
years stock of manure ahead, and dur
ing the process of rotting it should be
we'll covered with loan or muck to pre-
vent the escape of its most valuable con-
stituents. Only we'll composted manure
will repay its cost for top-dressing.
Green manure spread upon grass either

FLOORS VERSUS CARPETS.


There is a strong protest offered, in
different ways and from various sources.
against our long established practice of
making poor floors, with the design
of keeping them covered with carpets
stretched and fitted to every part, and
carefully tackled down. Carpets in daily
use cannot be kept clean except by very
frequent shaking and beating, and they
do much toward corrupting the air by
retaining impure gases, hiding the finest,
most penetrating dust in their meshes
and underneath them, and by giving off
particles of fine wool into the atmos-
phere, with other dust, as they are
swept or walked upon. There is de-
mand for better floors, not necessarily
inlaid or mosaics, of different kinds of
precious wood, but made double, of
strong seasoned wood, that will not
shrink or warp Spruce, however we'll
seasoned, is almost sure to warp, and
then carefully finished so as to be dura-
bic and easily cleaned. Carpeted floors
seem relief to the house-keeper when
once the carpets are procured and fitted
to the rooms and tackled down, because
they do not show the dirt as the bare
floors do. But oh when they do get

time comes, and they must be taken up
and shaken and whipped as they well
deserve With warmly-made floors and
large warm rugs, couldn't we do without
these denominations even in winter Ger
tainly our rooms would be cooler and
sweeter without them in summer. But
in that case we must take more pains
with our floors, and we must have some
thing better than the common implanted
ones. Oiled floors are better liked than
those painted, even for kitchens. Won.
en- find that they can oil their floor:
themselves, and many kitchen floor
has, within few years, been made com
Portable and decent in that way. Boiled
linseed oil is used, and two or three
coats are put on, one after another, as
fast as they are dry. Floors of alter.
nate boards of different kinds of wood
are pretty for some rooms, and some
times border made in this way, with
diagonal stripes, bordered by a straight
board on each side, or wood of two kinds
laid in checks or diamonds, is very sat

. pecially designed for parlOrs, or room
where heavy bordered carpet or larg
rug is intended to merely cover most 0
the floor, leaving margin of about tw
feet around the edges-a carpet whicl
can often be carried out and shaken fire
from dust.
Oiled floors do not need hard scrub
