Keeping Winter Sqashes.

Many farmers are at a loss to know
how some are successful in keeping their
squashes in good condition, until May or
June, while they lose most of theirs be-
fore the end of February; they usually
attribute their want of success to causes
beyond their control, when a careful in
vestigation would show that mismanage-
ment was the principal cause. Squashes
to keep well must, first, be well ripened;
second, they should be gathered before
heavy frosts come; third, should be well
dried fourth, the shell should be well
glazed over, and while it need not be
thick it should be hard; fifth, they
should be kept where the temperature
is very even, never very cold, or very
hot; sixth, in handling, great care
should be taken not to bruise them; this
is of the highest Importance. Many
farmers leave their sqashes out until the
frost kills the vines, the squashes are
thus left exposed to the cold winds, and
they are frequently left until it is cold
enough to freeze water, and change the
color of.the top of the squashes; this is
fatal to their good keeping. Others
when they find that cold weather has
come hurry them in just as night sets in,
and in their haste to get them under
cover, they load them into the wagon as
though they were stones; thus bruising
nine out of every ten to degree that
causes them to rot by Thanksgiving
time.
Squashes are often stored in the barn,
in one heap, until they get chilled, when
they are carried into a warm, damp eel
lar, where they soon rot, and the owner
is at loss to know the reason. When
stored in heaps, if the storehouse be dry,
the under squashes will send out mois-
ture in such quantities as to keep the
whole heap surrounded by moisture.
Squashes to keep well, should not only
be kept in dry atmosphere with a very
even temperature, but they should be
spread on the floor, or on shelves, so
that the air can readily pass between
| them.
All of the soft shell and unripe
squashes should be disposed of as soon
as possible after they are harvested, and
only the hard shell and perfectly ripe
ones should be kept for winter; crook
neck squashes keep best with most
people; the reason probably is, they are
ripe and are handled with care and are
usually hung up in dry place. The
same treatment Of marrow squashes
would no doubt secure very satisfactory
results.-lMassachusetts PLouahman.

A Smile Of Satisfaction.

This from the Cleveland (Ohio) Penny Press,
carries its own suggestion: Recently meeting
Mr.. II. G. Keffer, treasurer OF the Cteeetand
Herald, our representative inquired OF that
gentleman, after stating his mission, if he
personally knew anything about the Great
German Remedy, st. Jacobs Oil. smile
played across Mr.. Refers expressive face and
his ewes twinkled merrily as he replied in the
affirmative: will not refuse to state my ex-
perience with it, and you may use it as you
think best Four years ago sprained one of
nv ankles, an accident which, as you are
aware. entails much suffering and sometimes
leaves the limb in condition to remind one
frequently of the old hurt. Unfortunately
this result ensued Whenever the weather be-
came damp or my system absorbed the slight
est cold my ankle panied me- This went on
at intervals for over three years, and could
not obtain relief Last winter applied the
St. Jacobs Oil and it completely cured me. I
have not since felt a return of the pain.

Sheep-Raising on Small Farms.

The Importance of sheep husbandry
as one of the ssdiversifed industries" OF
Z small farm is not as fully understood
in this country as it ought to be, al
though there is apparent growing ap-
probation of its value. Experience has
shown that no branch of agriculture
presents greater inducements to a man
of small means than this, if he brings to
the management of it the same degree
of industry and skill that he must exer-
else to make any kind of farming profit
able. Especially is this the case when
the soil of the farm, naturally good, has
run down in consequence of bad man.
agement. Such land, as repeated ex-
periments have clearly demonstrated,
can be restored to fertility through the
agency of a flock of sheep with surpris-
i ing rapidity, and at less cost, probably,
than by any other means.
A recent writer estimates that on
farm suitable for their keeping-that is,
! where mixed farming is practiced-
sheep ought to pay a yearly prost of 100
per cent. 1t would probably require
very careful management indeed, and
unusually favorable conditions, to real
lZc 81 SI1dt IctuIH dto tlldo. Gu q
large abatement from that estimate
would still leave the raising of sheep an
exceedingly profitable investment.
In making sheep husbandry paying
industry much depends, of course, on
the breed selected, but more, perhaps,
than is generally supposed, on the
amount and character of the feed, and
the skill and care bestowed upon the
flock. There is no money in sheep that
are underfed and Systematically neg
lected. Good care and plenty of suita-
BILE food are essential to their welfare,
and the man who wisely gives them both
will be amply repaid for his pains.
A serious difficulty in all parts of the
country, but especially in the more
thickly settled regions, grows out of the
vast number of useless dogs which roam
through the fields at night, and play
havoc with unprotected flocks of sheep.
One who is unacquainted with the facts
would be astonished at the enormous
annual loss caused by those canine dep
relations. But if farmers were bent
upon the raising of sheep they would
no doubt soon be able, by concerted ac-
ton, to abate this nuisance. The
growing demand for mutton of fine
quality, and the enlarged facilities for
the transportation of animals and meat
to the great centers of trade, ought to
stir up the minds of farmers of moder-
ate means to the Importance of adding
this source of profit to those they al
ready possess -E'raDainer aud Chronicle.

Luxury in New York.

The luxury and perfection of detail in
New York dwellings is passing into a
proverb. Nowhere in the world, proba-
bly, is so much time and money ex-
pended upon the furnishing and orna-
menting of the homes of the rich as in
that city. The draping of curtains has
become a distinct branch of art, and
every decorator and upholsterer has
one or more employees whose sole busi-
ness it is to arrange in graceful folds the
draperies which are now indispensable
at doors, windows and fireplace. Even
the banisters must now be stuffed and
tufted and draped on either side with
heavy fringe. Ceilings are frescoed and
painted in the studios of distinguished
artists, and then transferred to the
houses that they are to embellish. Hun
dreds of women are employed, at an ex-
pense of thousands of dollars, upon en-
broidery and art needlework which are
to adorn the sumptuous palaces in which
the rich men live. Paintings, statuary,
carvings in stone and wood, the richest
fabrics of French and Indian looms, in
deed, all that is rare and beautiful in
nature and art, are brought to bear npon
the decoration of these republican pail
aces. Even the stables in which horses,
coachmen, and grooms are to be housed
are far more luxurious than the simple
homes in which the fathers of our race
passed their lives. The newly-fnished
stables of Cornelius Vanderbilt in Fifty
eighth street far outshine those of the
Roman Emperor whose sumptuous ap-
pointments have become a matter of
history.

Flow a Lord Used to Swear.

We were once talking about the pro-
family of very distinguished American
statesman, not now living. Mr.. Sumner
(who never swore himself) said: "Well,
l have heard him swear severely, but as
rule nobody swears in my presence.
The greatest modification l ever re-
ceived in my life, in this way, was when
l was at a breakfast abroad with Lord
Brougham. We had sat down at the
breakfast table when somebody brought
a newspaper to Lord Brougham. 1t
contained a personal attack upon him.
The article was marked and he read it
through. When he had completed it he
began a volley of the most scathing
oaths that ever heard fall from the lips
Of man. There was no limit to curses
he rained upon the head of the author of
this piece. was shocked and stricken
dumb" said Mr.. Sumner. .s'The other
occupant of the table, except Lord
Brougham and myself, was Brougham' s
mother. She sat at the head, opposite
her son, venerable and courtly lady,
with an elegance and grace of manner
that never saw excelled. l dared not
look at her for some moments, but when
l ventured to turn my eyes in that di-
rection found that not muscle of her
face was moved. She was as calmly un-
conscious of what her son was saying as
if he was talking in Arabic. The breeze
soon blew over, and we had very en-
joyable breakfast. ."-Harttord Courant.
