How 20 y~usii.,e B.d.Reoms,

If man were deliberately to shut himself for
some six OF eight hours daily in o stuffy room,
with closed doors and windows, (the doors not
being opened even to change tho air during the
period of incarceratiOn), and were then to COM
plain of headache and debility, he would be
justly told that his own want of Intelligent fore
sight was the cause Of his suffering. Neverthe-
less, this is what the great mass of people do
every night Of their lives, with no thought Of
their imprudence. There are few bedrooms in
which it is perfectly safe to pass the night with
out something more than ordinary precautions
to secure an inflow of fresh air. Every sleep
ing apartment should of course, have a fire.
place with an open chimney, and in cold wealth
er it is well if the CRATE contains small fire,
at least enough to create an upcast current and
carry off the vitiated air of the room. In all
such cases, however, when a fire is used, it is
necessary to see that the air drawn into th Q
room comes from tho outside Of the house. By
an easy mistake it is possible to place the occu-
pant of bedroom with fire, in q closed house,
IN direct current of foul air drawn from al |
parts of the establishment. Summer and win
ter, with without the use of fires, it is we'll
to have q free ingress for pure air. This should
he the veutilatOrs first concern. Foul air will
find an exit if pure air is admitted in sufficient
quantity, but it is not certain pure air will be
dawn in if the impure is drawn away. So far
as sleeping rooms are concerned, it is wise to
let in air from without. The aim must be to
accomplish the object without causing great
fall of temperature q drsught. The windows
may be drawn down Nh inch or two at the top
with advantage, and fold of muslin will form a
.'ventilator' to take off the feeling of draught.
This, with all open fireplace, will generally suf-
fee, anu produce no unpleasant consequences,
even when the weather is cold. 1t is, however,
essential that the air outside should be pure.
Little is likely to be gained by letting in a fog
or even a town mist.-LoRd0R Lancet.

PLANT TREES IN THE SCHOOL YARD.-Men liv-
ing on desolate, wind-swept, lonely farms may
be persuaded to begin an orchard or a wind
break. But what of the desolate school yards
which surround our box-lke school houses, in
district after district throughout State
The planting of shade trees in the school yard
is partly the business of the teacher, and part
ly of the trustees, but still more does it depend
upon the sentiment of the community. 1t is a
constantly recurring mystery that men Of
wealth and influence, whose own homes are
wellimproved, will continue year after year to
send their children to schools unsbaded by
trees, unsheltered from the fierce MONDAY heats
or cold northers, aud this without the ghost of
a protest-San Francisco Bulletin.

CARE OF THE FEET.-Good health is never at
tainable if the feet are habitually cold, since
this implies impaired circulation of the
blood that it does not reach the extremities.
Instead of "toasting them in the oven" soak
them in warm water till thoroughly warm, and
then dash cool or cold water over them, rub
bling them thoroughly with q crash towel, till
a reaction occurs; nsng the flesh brush freely
This, followed for few nights, will generally
warm tho feet, by improving the circulation of
the blood. The brush, used on the whole body,
is not only safe, safer than the cold bath, at
least for the weakly, but will aid in equalizing
the circulation. Let the feet, also, be put in
warm rays of the sun; the clothing warm ed
and thoroughly summed. This will do much to
improve cold and sweaty feet, and can do no
possible harm. Keep the feet clean, which can
be done only by frequent washing.-Ransas

setting orchard.-a Word of Caution.

Probably greater number of frnit trees will
be set in Kansas this spring than in any previ-
Gus year. mistake will require long
years to remedy, can never he remedied, in fact.
A correspondent of the Farmer, (Mr. Cowley, l
think, } some time since advised planting peach
es and apples in alternate rows, the peach trees
to be removed after giving one or two crops,
and in the mean time to act q wind break.
Now can hardly think that Mr.. COwley ever
saw the experiment tried, or the result of it, or
he wonld not have recommended it. l have not
been SO unfortunate as to learn this lesson by
experience, but have seen several orchards
spoiled by this course, and feel confident that it
will be failure every time The reason is evil
dent. The apple is slow grower, while the
peach, in our climate, is a rampant grower and
a voracious feeder. 1t extends its roots rapid
ly, dries up the soil, and starves everything in
the neighborhood. / would soon think of
putting fine Berkshire shOat in the pen with a
regular razorback, compelling them to eat ont
of enc trough. and expect my Thoroughbred pig
to thrive, as to turn peaches into the field with
apples. In five years the apples will have made
no more growth than they ought in three, and
what ia worse, will be stunted never to
recover. Give a tree, an animal, generous
treatment in its youth, and il will endure q good
deal of hardship, and still thrive.
II is said, and truly, that trees grow too rap
idly in this country to bear early and well ; but
the checking process should not begin till there
is good system Of feeding roots, and u we'll
formed head then setting will bring the fruit,
aud plenty oft.
For wind break, corn is as good as anything
for young orchard, and a row or two of rapid
growing trees on the South aud West is adj
vantage. But when the trees are well grown,
they should be removed, unless at some rods
distance.
While am about it, it will do no harm to re-
peat plan of setting orchard, which once
furnished for the Farmer.
Set the trees fifteen feet apart each way I;
then in about eight or ten years, or when the
tops begin to crowd cut out every other tree,
thus: Remove the even trees 3, a, @, etc, in the
odd rows l, g. ETC., all the odd trees in tho even
rows, and you have an orchard with trees %
feet apart, which will answer several years
longer. When the limbs again touch, remove
the odd rows entirely, and you have them 30
feet each way, which is good distance for
permanent orchard.
Observe that the list for the permanent or
chard should be made out first, then the filling
in may be anything that will bear early aud
sell for q time, or be of temporary value.
Those who have not courage enough to put
an AZ into tree rs its work is done,
and before it becomes an injury, had better not
try the experiment, but plant at once 30 feet
apart; land is cheap. c. II. CUSHING.

the Boston Journal Of Chemistry of new theory
about diphtheria. He says: "After q laborious
and scrutinizng investigation into the cause Of
q large number of cases of diphtheria that have
come under my care during several years past,
have almost arrived ut the conclusion that the
primary infection of an individual comes from
the fungi which are found as spots of different
colors ON the exterior of fruits, particularly APP
plies. As far the power of my microscope has
shown, these fungi seem identical with the fun
ri from diphtheritic ulcer; and last autumn
traced . number of cases, at one time five to-
gether in one family, back to the eating of ap-
pies picked from the ground in the orchards
without previously cleaning the frnit by rub
bling or washing"

Making Hedge Fence.

In our travels over at least four of our best
prairie States of the West, We have seen but
little good hedge fence. What farmers usually
call hedge fences, are merely rows OF hedge
the fields and sapping the ground for rod or
two around. The larger 1t grows the more
worthless it is for the fence; merely barrier
against cattle, but will not turn small stock.
You can make good board fence out OF good
material, You can make good hedge fence only
out of suitable material. Now you may stop
here and ask what good hedge material is, and
We will answer: stalks, or hedge row grown
in o natural way:
/. An worthless plants should be thrown
away.
9. The Usage orange plant is peculiar plant,
taking more than two years to mature or be-
come fit for setting for fence.
Set your plauts regularly, putting in moth
ing but good plants, and give them proper care
and cultivation.
When grown large enough, make or lay them
into . fence. Make your pig fencs first, if you
don't you will never have it, which IL called
the foundation Of your fence, making this by
bringing down to proper angle all tbs large
ends of the plants close to the bottom and place
the small brush on top, then you can properly
trim the fence and make 1t ornamented well
as good, and do il with very little labor or ex-
pense, and your fence will turn the least pig as
well as the largest steer. The base Of your fence
should occupy less than one foot OF ground, aud
the roots of the plants be exposed to the sun
and air. Should yon fail to get the sun aud air
to the roots, You will soon observe the plants
beginning to thin out.
In conclusion permit me to say, We are living
in progressive age, and that we believe in i'm
peoyements on fences as well as in other things,
and by making good and ornamental fences
ar,und our farms, We will be able to get fr ON
$500 to $1,000 per acre more for them, sh ould
we wish TO sell.
Many say, 81 have my hedge fences made. "
Those are the men We are talking to. Take
away those unsightly rows you have on your
place, and make . fence properly, growing it N
= natural and careful manner, with an eye to
beauty as well as nse.-kaRsas Farmer.

SOMETHING NOT GENERALLY KNowN.-The
habit of chewing orange and lemon peel is a
very bad one, which is much to be deprecated
The little follicles contained in the rind of the
orange aud lemon contain poisonous acid of a
very irritating character, as is evidenced by the
sensation produced in the eye when a drop is
projected into it by the bursting Of one of these
follicles. The slight headache which often fol-
lows the eating Of orange or lemon peel is doubt
less due to the effects of this poison.-Prairi,
