PLANTS FOR WINTER-A proper Sc
lection of plants for winter Towering
will give a continuous bloom during the
winter and spring months. People oft
en- fail with winter blooming plants by
neglectipg their natural requirements.
The essential requisites for success are a
window where the full benefit of the sun
can be secured, a temperature comfort
able for people to live in, and water
given at about the same temperature as
the room, supplied only when the plants
are dry.
Carnations lifted from the open
ground, placed in not too large pots,
kept shaded for few days, are good
plants for winter Towering, if they are
kept in window where plenty of light
can be given them and the temperature
of the room is not very high.

SURGICAL OPERATIoN.-The operation of lithotomy
(removal of stone from the BLADDER one of the most
and critical operations known the science of
surgery, was successfully performed Tuesday upon
Mr.. Henry H. Pitts. merchant of this city, by Dr.

years from this difficulty but it only week before
the operation that he was made aware of the real
cause of his complaint
REoovERY.-Mr. Henry n. Pitts has recovered from
the effects incident to the operation the closing Of the
wound being completed on the 18th day. His general
health is good-better than it has been for years,
while he is perfectly free from all those distressing
symptoms characteristic of the disease with which
he suffered. Had this and similar used DR..

waiting the land, and add much to its
value and appearance.
Some attention should be paid to get
ting good ploughs and those best adapted
to the work to be performed. There
are now such variety of ploughs man
ufactured. that, with proper knowledge
of their merits, suitable implements for
all kinds of soils may be obtained. A
plough should be adapted to the team,
or better perhaps the team to the plough
that will do the best work. There are
some soils that are light. or where there
is liability to wash, as on a hillside,
that it would not do to plough in the
fall, but most others can be. and in this
way large amount of work can be done
now that would otherwise have to be
performed another spring.

PREPARE FOR AN ICE
HOUSE NOW.

If there is any farmer without that
modern necessity, an ice-house, he ought
not to let another season pass without
providing one. The cost of filing each
year is trifing, after the house is once
provided, and the first cost of that is
not great. The american Agriculturist
for September describes one that will
hold 20 tons of ice, and the estimated
cost is only $50. Their house is built
entirely above ground, and is simply
square building IL feet each way and
eight feet high to the caves. The base
is eight by eight inch hewn or sawed
timber, laid either on stone foundation
or on corner posts set in the ground. and
filled up underneath with stone laid in
mortar or banked with earth. A SINH
lar frame answers for plates at the top,
and they are supported by four corner
posts s feet long and s by S inches in
size, and 2 by inch studding as near
together as need be, and on one end is
a door. The outside is covered with
perpendicular ch-boards, and the
cracks battened. Inch boards laid hor-
izontally on the inside, leave a space of
eight inches all around, which is filed
closely with sawdust. The floor consists
of boards laid on small cobble stones.
The roof is made with pitch enough to
readily carry off the rain, and is simply
covered with inch boards and battened
and an opening left in the middle of the
ridge for ventilation is covered by CAP
raised FIVE or six inches above the open
ing. When the house is ready to FILL
five or six inches in depth of straw and
sawdust are placed on the board floor
aud the ice is packed as closely anG
compactly as possible in the centre
leaving a space of five or six inches al
around the outside. AS fast as the ict
is packed, pieces of board can be placed
back of the door to keep the sawdus
there. The ice is packed somewha
above the plates, and is covered with ;
. foot of sawdust. This leaves cubica
mass of ice about nine feet each way
with something over foot of sawdus
) all around it. The mass of ice will
+ weigh about twenty tons, and if care
fully put up, so as to secure perfec
, drainage at the bottom and perfect ven
I, tilation at the top, with as little contac
with the air at the sides as careful pack
ing will admit, it will keep perfectly
and be constant source of profit an

AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS.

The agricultural colleges are COM
planned of for not fulfilling the promises
made for them of giving farmers or sons
of farmers practical knowledge of ag-
riculture, and for not annually turning
out crop of educated youths who will
make the wilderness blossom as the rose,
to profit as well as to beauty.
When Mr.. Morrill, proposed the bill
giving aid to these colleges, the objection
was made to him that it was not colleges
but schools which the country wanted.
His reply was that "one college in
State would be enough to furnish teach
ers and experimental operations, while
the nation could not we'll assist the
States in establishing schools. But"
said he, ''the States will second the en-
terprise by themselves establishing
schools of the rudiments of agriculture
and mechanical pursuits.
The question now occurs-is it not
practicable to organize a system of
schooling, or modify the present system,
so that some acquaintance with the ru-
diments of soils and cultivation, as we'll
as with fibers and materials and the
use of tools and machinery upon them,
will be taught? 1t is not the colleges
which can be of use to the great number
of young men, but schools may be, and
it is believed to be as good dicipline fol
a boy to be half of the day in ccnnec'
ton with observations and the study Of
nature growing and dormant, as all day
confined to the distractions of books
as now practiced.

A Hartford man is the owner of some
what vicious COW, and the children in the
neighborhood have been repeatedly warn
ed against going near it. A day or two
since the cow escaped from the pasture
where she was kept and went prancing
down the street toward two little children
who were playing on the sidewalk. Re-
membering the warning, and seeing the
danger, the older of the two children
(herself scarcely five years old) called
out: ''Sister, come into the house, or

TRUE AND FALSE ECONOMY

| think We often make a mistake on
the score of economy in the matter of
homemade articles. We are apt to
congratulate ourselves on the great
Saving" we have made in some such
enterprise, when in fact, it was pretty
dear bargain.
Passing by the vexed qaestion with
regard to the economy of rag carpets. |
can't help thinking my friends home
made, white Counterpart was rather
costly affair. There was the first cost
of the materials used, coarse, unbleached
muslin, and balls of candlewick-the
sum would certainly have been half
enough to buy pretty Marseilles spread,
which would have been handsomer and
more serviceable and far more easily
laundried.
Then came the long, tedious process
of making. If woman's time has any
money value, it would far more than
cover the remaining cost of the bought
counterpart.
So the many pieced quilts, which so
abound in coutry places are not really
so economical as seems at first glance,
nor really so comfortable as good wooden
blankets.
Where they are put together as a
pastime, they make very pleasant fancy
work for leisure minutes.
If anyone "takes comfort" in these
| homemade manufactures, then they be-
come really valuable, even though they
are expensive luxuries.
But young ladies, anxious to save
time for self-improvement, would do
well to buy rather than make most of
their fancy articles. 1t takes almost as
much money to buy the wool for knit
shawl, as to buy the article itself and
everyone knows how nearly endless is
the task of knitting one. So, too, of
the many trimmings wrought so labori-
ously with the crochet needle, you can
buy prettier Hamburg edge at almost
the cost of the materials.
When working women learn to buy
ready-made clothing more generally,
they will have taken an advance step
towards their emancipation, and will, no
boubt, add years to their lives.
