among ornamental s1irubbery. Indeed,
there are SO many things among these har-

way, that it is much easier to give the list
of the things that will not grew from fall
cuttings, rather than the things that will
The great difficulty is that they draw out of
the ground by freezing and thawing. To
avoid this the cuttings need not be set out
at once in the ground, but they may betied
into bundles, each after its kind, and buried
under ground till spring, and then put out
in rows where they are to grow. OF course
they must be looked after early in the spring
or the buds will sprout and rot. In sandy
land, or earth that keeps good hold of things
cuttings may be put in at once.-Ge,rna,s-

NEATNEss.

Neatness, order, regularity, economy are
all essential elements to success, and success
and profit (which latter is generally very
tangible evidence Of the former-cannot be
achieved without happy combination Of
these three essentials. The very evidence
Of neatness and order is sure to convey the
idea Of thoroughless Of system, which moth
ing else can, and observers, even though
casual ones, cannot fail to be impressed fa-
vorably. When these observers are would
be customers, it can readily be seen what
an important peint neatness is or should be
with all breeders OF fine stock. Neatness
does not, necessarily. mean elaborate and
expensive buildings and surroundings, with
pleasing effects produced in the architecture
through skilled work, which is very expen-
sive and beyond the reach Of many ot us,
but it does mean cleanliness, order and 4
general harmony Of the surroundings which
is within the reach OF all who have the
health, strength and will TO make the sur
roundings comfortable. II it is only house
built of common pine lumber and with an
ordinary slat or lath fence surrounding tile
yards or runs for the fewls it can be made
to look cozy and neat by the application Of
little whitewash, cheap paint, or some
color wash which costs but little, and which
not only vastly improves the appearance
but increases the durability of the lumber.
Il some Of the boards become loose, they
can, at first, soon be nailed il to place, while
loose slat or lath can soon be nailed ap
again, making the place look as if some one
owned and cared for it. The coops can be
of some neat pattern, of uniform size and
style, and kept neatly painted or whitewash.
ed. Both in and out of the house can there
be evidence OF the care, thoughtfulness and
thoroughness of the owner.
4 Of course it takes time to do all this, but
then it must be remembered that nothing
worthy has ever yet been secured without
an effort, and if it is not worth well di.
reeted effort it is not worth having. Attend.
ing to the poultry, in each varied depart
ment Of the management, becomes much
easier when made part of the regular rou
tine of duties, for il only odd times are sci

farmers wife said she kept about 400 hens

where storm centers and cold waves are cast

east and west of the Rocky Mountains,
about equal in extent to that part Of the
United States lying east Of the Mississippi
river, and thoroughly adapted to occupation
and cultivation by civilized people. The
resources Of the immense tract Of country
bordering ON the North Pacific, and includ
ing the western slope of the Rocky Noun
tains, are ample. 1t has the advantages of
an equable climate, good soil, and easy COM
mereial access to the coast. Its fertile sur
face is computed to be about 100000 square
miles. The productive plains east of the
Rocky Mountains, within easy range of i'm
migration, are estimated TO measure fully
100000 square miles. The capacity to sup
port thirty million inhabitants is claimed
for this tracts alone. The products OF the
cool temperate attitudes abound here-cern
growing along the Saskatchewan-and the
rich grass of these plains makes them the
resort of herds of buffalo and other cattle,

ROAD DUST And POULTRY.

Road dust is worth many times its cost as
an absorbent. Those who keep poultry may
secure by it's use valuable fertilizer, nearly
az strong Us guano, with none OF its disa-
greeable eder. Place an inch or two of road
dust in the bottom OF barrel then, as the
poultry house is regularly cleaned, deposit
alayer an inch thick Of the cleanings, ana
80 on alternatively, layers of each until the
barrel is full The thinner each layer, the
more perfect will be the intermixture of the
ingredients
II the soil OF which the road dust is made
is elayey, the layers Of ch'may be of'equal
thickness; if sandy, the dust shosld be
twice af thick as the layer OF droppings.
Old barrels of any kind may be used for
this purpose, but if previously soaked with
crude petroleum or coated with gas tar,
they will last many years. II the contents
are pounded ON the fleor into fine powder
before applying, the fertilizer may be sown
from drill.
Road dust is one of the most perfect de-
odorizers of vaults-converting their con-
tents also into rich manure. Place barrel
or box OF it in the closet, with small dip
per, and threw down pint into the vault
each time it is occupied, and there will be
no offensive odor whatever. This ia simple,
cheaper and better than water closet, and
never freezes or gets out of order.-Farn..
