LEARNING To SEw.-To be handy with
he needle, is one of the sterling accom-
plishments of every educated woman.
10 be able to take the "stitch in time )"
Is worth all the time and trouble that
are required TO learn the art. Like
walking, reading, and many other
things which we come to do without
special thought, the learning to sew is
a slow process, and should be begun
while the child is still quite young. The
girl should not only have the use "f the
thread, needles and patchwork, but be
instructed how to take the stitches,
turn the corners, and do various things
connected with needle-work. We are
not excluding the boys in our remarks,
because they need to learn to thread u
needle, and do general sewing. Men
are many times so situated that they
must depend upon themselves for their
necessary sewing. Even If it is an age
OF sewing machines, IL Is best that all
children should learn TO use the simple
common old-tashioned kind which can
never be wholly superseded. The
amusement and occupation that sew
ing furnishes little folks afford sut1i =
cient reason why all mothers should
see that their girls, and boys TOO, learn
10 sew-buJ the very practical use OF
the needle in after life Is the principal
reason after all.

TOMATO VINEs.-If there is any truth
in the following it is important: A
statement comes from South America
that singular property OF tomato leaves
has been discovered by fruit grower.
Having cut down some tomato vines he
used them as a mulch around his peach
trees. He soon discovered that the
curculio, which was destroying his
fruit, had abandoned the trees sur
rounded by the tomato vines. Follow
ing up this accidental dicOVery, the
free use of tomato vines proved a per-
feet protection, not only against the
curculi0, but other noxious insects.

A TEXAS PLAN OF KEEPING SWEET
PoTAToEs.-GO into the woods and cut
a hollow tree, about six inches in diam
eter and five feet long. Cut holes in.
the side of this, and place one end in
the ground. Lay straw all around the
pipe" and on this lay potatoes, and
pile them up in a pyramidal form to
the top OF the pipe" Then get straw
and lay over them, also corn stalks,
pretty heavily, aud throw on dirt until
the pile is covered good-at least six
inches. Do not cover the top of the
"pipe" for two or three weeks, so that
the steam arising from the potatoes can
escape. AT the first intimation Of cold
weather cover the ''pipe," but always
open it IN good weather. To Get into
this ''bank," as we call it, simply make
a hole In the south side to put your
hand in, but keep it covered also,
when not in use.'' By this method,
a small family can, with very little
trouble, keep all their potatoes through
the winter.

PICS ON DAIRY FARMs.-A dairyman
writes that he finds there is no more
profitable stock te keep on dairy farm
than good pigs. He keeps two pure
Berkshire brood sows and one boar,
and raises four litters each year. The
litters average eight each, and the pigs
are sold when they are between four
and five months old TO make room for
the new litters. They then weigh
from 120 TO 100 pounds dressed, and
sell for seven cents pound. Last year
his pigs brought him in over $3.50, and
they did noS cost $50 outside OF the
skinned milk and the buttermilk
which they consumed. He has tried
several kinds, Chester Whites, York
shires, Suffolks grade, Berkshires and
pure ones, and finds the pure Berkshire
and the halt breed of this breed and
Chester White the best feeders. The
meat of these two kinds VIII sell more
readily than any others, being lean and
fat mixed, while Essex, Suffolk and
Yorkshire are all too fat for sale in the
summer time. He cures the hams and
the sides for bacon, and finds it is more
profitable than selling the carcasses.
He don't think anything on dairy
farm pays so well as good pigs properly
managed.

AGRICULTURE.

KILLING LARGE EWEEDs.-Some weeds
may be effectually eXterminated " cut
ting off the stalks close to the ground
with scythe. The proper time to do
this work is soon after they have at
tanned their growth, but before seeds
have matured. The branches of some
weeds are so close to the ground that
they can only be severed from the
roots by the use of hoe, which should
be very sharp in order TO do the work
well andwith any considerable degree Of
ease. Weeds should be cut quite early
in the season, IN order to prevent che
ripening of the seeds that would give
trouble another year, if not the same
season they grow. The seeds of some
weeds are entirely ripe while the Pc
dals of the blossoms are still fresh.
The appearance of the plant affords no
indication of the maturity of the seed,
as is the case with grain. 1t requires
considerable pains TO destroy some
large weeds, as burdocks, mullens and
Canada thistles. The stalks must be
cut several inches below the surface of
the ground or they will throw up suck
ers in the same manner as trees and
bushes. A sharp spade or narrow
steel blade fixed To handle is the best
implement to use tor the purpose. Af-
ter the stalk is cut and removed, it is
we'll to drop handful of sale on the
stump that remains in the earth. A
drop of sulphuric acid, applied with
the end of a stick, is effectual IN destroy
ing the life of the roots OF weeds
Strong lye, Paris green or London pur-
pie may also be employed for the same
purpose with most excellent results.
1t is always best TO make sure work
with large and troublesome weeds.

FooD FOR FAT PEOPLE.-There are
three classes of food, the oils, sweets,
and starches, the special office of which
is to support the animal heat and pro-
uuce fat having little or no influence
in promoting strength of muscle or en-
durance. If the fat, therefore, would
use less fat and more OF lean meats, fish
and fowl, less of fine flour and more of
the whole product of the grains-except
the hulls less OF the sweets, particu-
larly in warm weather, and more of the
fruit acids in mild form, as in the ap-
pie. sleep less, be less indolent and labor
more in the open air, the tat would dis
appear, to q certain extent at least, with
no loss of real health. In food we have
almost perfect control in this matter,
far better than we can have too
much fat and too little muscle. we have
simply to use less of the fat-forming
elements. and more Ofthe muscle food,
such as lean meats fish and fowl, and
the darker portions of the grains, ETC.,
with peas and beans.

PLANTING.-Apples and pears may be
most conveniently planted in the fall
when more time can te given to it..
The ground should be well plowed and

the trees arrive they should be un-

and some water thrown over the roots,
stems, and branches.
