is to get the impurities, coloring matter,

Many persons start annual flower
ing-plants in boxes in the house during
the early part of the spring and set
them in the garden as soon as the
weather becomes sufficiently warm. BY
this means they. obtain flowers in adj
vance of the usual season of blossom
ing. Now it is very easy to reverse
this process and have annual plants
blossom in the house during the winter!
By sowing seed late in the summer,
strong hearty plants may be obtained
of sufficient size to set in pots or boxes
before there is danger of their being
killed by frost. They will blossom fine
ly in the house and present very fine
appearance. Asters, pansies and
petunias are well adapted to this treat.

the plants may be started in them and
they will suffer less by being removed.
Sweet peas may be raised in the house,
and they will be highly priced no less

The last six years nave shown that
the men who stayed at home are, as a
class and rule, those who have en-
larged the old homesteads without put
ting a mortgage on them, and who,
having adopted intelligent and pro-
gressive ideas in farming, are now able
to meet the stress of a competition of
which their fathers knew nothing, and
to enjoy life in every way easier and
more enviable than was theirs. They
inherited, too, many things besides che
familiar acres. The store of expert
ence, precedents and other forms of
practical knowledge which New En-
gland farmer of the third or fourth
generation possesses, is often equiva-
lent to a thorough education for his
calling. By /" sticking to the farm he
has been able to utilize this as part Of
his capital. He knows each field bet
ter than any merchant can know his
customers or any gambling Spectator
his stocks. The hundred-years-old
partnership with Nature which his FORE
fathers have maintained now accrues
to his benefit, and he is rich, indeed, if
