Keep Dwellings Dry,

A warm and dry atmosphere is not an

weather brings sultry air which damp
ems everything around us,the atmosphere
may be loaded with the germs of disease,
and fire is needed to destroy them. The
walls, the ceilings and the floors of apart
ments should never be allowed to be
come damp. Sometimes when the
warmth of the air is oppressive, fire is
more necessary to preserve health than
it is another season to protect US from the
cold of winter; and the rooms of dwell
ing should never be left without the
means of warming and drying. Investi-
cations haYe shown that many of the
most fatal diseases are caused BY the
germs of vegetable and animal life, and
that humid atmosphere is most favor
able, neglecting to avail ourselves of the
great discoveries of the age, and failing
to protect ourselves from scourges which
so fearfully afaict families, when we ip-
more the dangers which surround us.
Apartments exposed to the full action of
the sun may be less comfortable in hot
weather than those from which the suns
rays are excluded, but they are more
wholesome, and when contagious diseases
prevail In clesely-built cities it is found
that the inmates of houses on that side
OF the street exposed to the sun are less
liable to be attacked, while the greatest
number of sick are always found where
there is the least exposure to the rays of

FARM AND HOUSE.
Farm Experiments Suggested,


Practical knowledge is only to be &C.
CURED by actual experiments, and is the
only kind of real value. If all soils were
exactly alike, having the same exposure
and protection, subject to the same eli
mate, and the same amount of rainfall at
exactly the same dates, farming would at
once rise to the dignity of an exact
science. One set of experiments any,
where would be the foundation for all
farm operations of the same kind every-
where. The vast body of farmers, SO far
as concerned their own avocation, would
become mere machines, or even less in
the social scale. Brains would be of no
value, and the fool of the family would
do as well as the genius on the farm.
Fortunately. however, the soil is vari-
| GUS and must be treated with brains or it
| tails to produce. Business men never
trust any one until inquiries have been
made into his standing and his ability to
1uihl his promises. Farmers, however,
never think of enqulrlng into the charac
ter of the land they are going to trust
their seed tc. They say to themselves,
"That's land, and this is seed, let's try
them tOSetner.
1t has been asserted that fertilizers
are all washed down into the subsoil by
rains, and are lost-lf so, why is the sub
soil always poor9 An experiment, easiIy
made, would settle this question for ever.
1t Is the practice with many to put on
too much lime, hoping to create plenty
OF plant food. But they create too much,
and the crop goes to stems and leaves at
the expense of the grain. Experiment
would teach valuable lesson here, The
question of deep or shallow blowing and
cultivation is yet debatable one; why
not experiment, prove thet which is good
and hold fast to it9 Light and heavy seed
ing; early and late sowing; hone grown
foreiggn-grown seed; seed grown north or
south OF us; seed gathered when half-ripe
or When wholly mature; subsoiling, and
even whether it pays to feed starving
fields as well as to keep stock ALWAYS
growing, are all open questions.
Why is this SO? Why have six thou
sand years of ceaseless hllage taught US
nothing! And are we to 60 on six thou
sand years more in the same STYLE. As
every farm is, in measure, SUI generic,
so must every farmer be its genius loci.
Don't trust man till you know him.
Don't trust your land till you know it.
Experiment, dig. pry. enquire at every
possible opportunity; don't quarrel with
family you are not acquainted with,
and, above all things, don't bury money
In hole without bottom.

Feeding Hens for Eggs I'm Winter.


If man has comfortable place in
which to keep his hens, he can keep
them laying through the winter, if he
chooses to give them the necessary care
and attention in the preparation and va
riety of food. As to variety of food,
though either corn or buckwheat, as we'll
as other sorts of grain, are excellent feed
for poultry, still neither corn nor buck
wheat alone, meets the requirements for
egg production, but either or both of
them with the addition of other food of
different kinds, to make variety suited
to the birds wants, will answer the pur-
pose. and produce supply Of eggs which
will well repay the expense and labor in
volved. I have had excellent results
from feeding mainly with buckwheat,
giving daily, in addition, some kind Of
cooked food warm, as, for instance, a
pudding OF corn-meai, or some small
potatoes baked, and occasionally season.
ing the mess we'll with CAYENNE pepper.
An occasional feeding of scraps of
meat or something of that kind, is also
necessary in the winter when the fowls
are confined to the house and there are
no insects or anything of that nature
which they can procure-at any rate il
this is not necessity it will be found
very beneficial addition to their diet. A
supply of bones or oyster shells burned
and powdered, or in some other way
rendered fire; or some other material
containing lime for the formation of the
shells, should always be kept within
each of the hens. They shosId also have
access to the earth in some manner, or q
quantity of gravel should be kept in the
poultry house, as it is necessary to
the health of fowls that they be able to
obtain something of this nature to aid in
the progress of digestion.
Perhaps it may be unnecessary for me
to say anything of the necessity of sup
ply of water always being accessible to
them, but have seen fowls kept where
they could obtain 40 water in the winter
except by eating snow, and though they
may live through that bleak season de-
spite such treatment, still NO one who
treats hens with such neglect deserves, or
will receive, anything from them during
the winter months to pay for the food
consumed by them. Now, let any one
who wants supply of eggs this winter,
follow the mode of treatment here sug-
gested. and think they will be satisfied
with the results.

Why New Workers Wear Out E arly.

Burleigh's Letter to Boston Journal.
Several of our leading doctors give il
as their opinion that 20 man who takes
his own life is in his right mind. It is
also agreed that the style of living in
New York, and the style of doing bust
ness. predisposes man to that morbid
condition that induces him to take his
life. The rush, the drive and exc1tment
are almost continuous. Men who are
good for anything have their hands full
and their heads full. The brain is like a
hot-box on a railroad train-only men
hold up on the train, and they don't on
the street. There's hardly prominent
man doing business in the Stock Ex-
change who has not work enough on
hand for half dozen men. As an illus
tration: The President at one of our
leading banks has been under the doc
tors care for over year. He comes
down to the bank every morning at 20
o'clock, and remains till O'Clock o. m.
Besides the immense business ef his own
institution, at II o'clock he goes down
to Wall street, where he is silent part
ner in stock house. At O'Clock he Is

fee is crowded with the prominent bust
ness men of New York. he has at least
SIX institutions in which he is manager,

tons represent every variety of invest

Sermon from q Pair Of Boots.

There lived, forty years ago, in Berlin
a shoemaker who had habit of speaking
ha1shly Of all his neighbors who did moi
feel exactly as he did about religion. The
old pastor of the parish in which the
shoemaker lived heard of this. and felt
that he must give him lesson.

shoemaker one morning, and when he
come in said to him:
"Master, take my measure for a pair OF
boots"

swered the shoemaker; "please take of
your boot"
The clergyman did so, and the shoe
maker measured his foot from toe to heel
and over the lnstep, noted all down in
his pocket-book, and then prepared to
leave the room. But as he was putting
up the measure, the pastor said to him:
Master, my son also requires pair Of
boots"

reverence. Can I take the young mans

"But your reverence, it is not possible
if the boots are to fit" said the shoe,
maker, thinking to himself that the old
pastors wits were leaving him.
"Ah then, master shoemaker" said the
clergyman, ''eYery paii of boots must be

How the ParsOn Broke the Sabbath.

On the grave Of Parson Williams
The grass is brown and bleached.
It is more than fifty winters
Since he lived and laughed and preached
But his memory in New England
No winter snow can kill;
OF his goodness and his drollnesS
Countless legends linger still.
And among those treasured legends
hold this one boon,
How he 90, in De aeon Crosby's hay
Ona Sunday afternoon.
He was midway in sermon,
Most Orthodox, on grace,
When the sound of distant thunder
Broke the quiet of the place.
Now the meadow of the Crowsbvs
Lay full within his sight,
As he glanced from out the window
Which stood open On his right.
And the green and fragrant haycocks
BY the acre there did stand;
Not meadow like the Deacons
Far and near in all the land.
Quick and loud the claps of thunder
Went rolling through the skies,
And the ParSon saw his Deacon
Looking out with anxious eyes.
'Now, my brethren" called the Parson,
And he called with might and main,
1--WE must get in Brother Crosby's hay,
lis our duty now most plainE'
And he shut the great red Bible,
And he tossed his sermon down,
Not man could run more swiftly
Than the Parson in that town.
And he ran now to the meadow,
With all his strength and speed;
And the congregation followed,
AL be1ildered in his lead.
With will they worked and shouted,
And cleared the field apace,
And the Parson lead the singing,
While the sweat rolled down his face,
And it Numbered fercer, louder;
And dark grew east aud west;
But the hay was under cover,
And the Parson had worked best,
And again in pew and pulpit
Their places took composed;
And the Parson preached his sermon
To " tiftheenthly," where it closed.
