told that ample buildings should BE pre-
vided as the first step in the organiza-
ton Of farm but / think necessary
buildings should be erected and en-
larged and improved as the wants Il
the farm require and the means Of the
farmer viii allow. That the farm
buildings should be as near the center
of the cultivated land as possible must
be manifest. In this way the distances
Of travel and transportation are short
ened. The buildings themselves should
be unpretentious, neat, well proper
toned, and imposing if large, modest
if small. The gables and sharp
roofs and overhanging eyes and deep
angles and towers and annexes of too
many country structures have but little
beauty and no convenience or econo-
nv. Symmetry in farm architecture
is more attractive than ornament. In
the exercise Of taste it is the farmer
land which offers the strongest induce
ments. In the olden days, when the
gambrel roof and the long sloping rear
roof were in fashion, the .'door yard, F"
as it was called, and always adorned
By a solitary elm tree, which may
now be seen standing sentinel in
its old age, towering above that spot
upon whose tolls and pleasures and
JOYS and SORROWS it has looked down
for so many generations-a historic
and representative tree now, an orna.
ment in the days of those who planted
it, and bearing testimony to the love OF
adornment which is natural to all men:
From this solitary Illustration Of this
spontaneous human desire, We have
gone on the extensive and elaborate
landscape gardening of modern times
The farmhouse is now, or should be.
surrounded by trees and shrubs and
flowers appropriately planted, and by a
well cultivated and well-kept lawn
The additional labors required for this
is small-the cheerful and healthful
effect of it all on mind and body is large.
A bright and cheerful home, outside
and inside, is one of the needs of the
American farmer who would perform
his part wellyand inspire his children
with tastes and desires which will con-
duce to their happiness and increase
their usefulness.
Good land, well selected crops, good
seed, good animals, good buildings, a
good home, with tasteful surroundings,
every American farmer can have who
will resolve in early life and devote
himself to this resolution with determi-
nation and zeal.

The Value of Vegetables.
Mrs. Reeves Book on Cookery. |

Mrs Reeves Book on Cookery
All vegetables have an effect on the
chemistry Of the body, SO that We can
not speak too highly of their Importance
at table. We will mention few of
these matters first, and dispose of this
aspect of the subject, so as not to seem
to mix pharmaeop@ia with the kitchen.
Asparagus is strong diuretic, and
forms part of the cure for rheumatic pa
tients at such health resorts as Aix-les-
Bains. Sorrell is cooling, and forms the
staple of that soupe aux herbs which
French lady will order for herself after
long and firing journey. Carrots as
containing a quantity of sugar, are
avoided by some people, while others
complain of them as indigestible. With
regard to the latter accusation, it may
be remarked in passing that it is the
yellow core of the carrot that is diff
cult of digestion-the outer, a red
layer, is tender enough. In Savoy, the
peasants have recourse to an infusion
of carrots as specific for iaundice.
The large sweet onion is very rich in
those alkaline elements which counter
act the poison of rheumatic govt. If
slowly stewed in weak broth, and eaten
with little Nepaul pepper, it will be
found to be an admirable article of diet
for patients of studious and sedentary
habits. The stalks of cauliflower have
the same sort of value, only too often
the stalks of caulifower are so ill-boiled
and unpalatable that few persons would
thank you for proposing TO them to make
a part Of their meal consist of so unin-
viting an article. Turnips, in the same
way, are often thought to be indigestible,
aud better suited for cows and sheep
than for delicate people; but here the
fault lies with the cook quite as much as
with the root. The cook boils the tur
nip badly, and then pours butter over it,
and the eater of such a dish is sure to
be the worse for it. Try better way
Half boil your turnip, and cut it in
slices like half-crowns. Butter pie |
lish, put in the slices, moisten with
title milk and weak broth, dust once |
With broad-crumbs and pepper and salt,

FRIGHT golden brown. This dish which
s the Piedmontese fashion of eating tur-
lips, is quite unsuited to cows, and
'ught to be popular. What shall be

Propagation Of Vines by Cutting.
Pacific Rural Press. I

Pacific Rural Press.
There is a great deal of difficulty eX.
perienced in propagating by cuttings
the @stivalis, and some other varies OF
American resistant stocks. Much loss
will be saved by cutting the canes short
eight or ten inches long, starting
them in hot beds, protected from frost
before the time of planting in the field
Then, late in the spring plant in the
field carefully, covering the top with
right soil to protect the developed shoots
from late frosts and from drying while
the young roots are taking firm hold
upon the soil, which has first been suit
ably fortified. Dipping the base of the
cuttings as they are taken from the
hot bed in a rich wet compost, suitably
prepared, before taking them to the
field, and not removing them from it
until at the point of planting, will also
have much advantage. This can be
done by carrying them to the field in
tubs or buckets partially filed with this
compost. / see no reason why the same
may not be done with advantage when
planting the easy-rooting European
varieties. A short cutting, so planted
that the top is covered with light, fine
earth, and that the base is not too deep,
but within the influence of the warmth
of the sun, will make a finer develop
ment than when long cuttings are 50
deep that the roots at the base develop
poorly, and part projecting into the
air is subject to drought and
cold. Many plant their cuttings too
deep, poor roots being the general
result, and oft-times failure, resulting
from the unequal conflict between the
bursting buds, which dry up in the air
before the roots can nourish them. No
precise rule, however, as to the depth
If planting can be made, on account of
he different characteristics Of the soil.
Experience and the exercise of sound
Judgment only can determine what shall
,e the depth of planting. The long

SENATOR RANSOM.

The District of Columbia owes debt OF
gratitude to Senator Ransom for his able
management of the Potomac Harbor I'm
prOvement that our people can never repay.
From the day of his appointment to the
craftsmanship of the committee having the
question in charge hehas given it the closest
attention, resulting in an exhaustive report
so replete with overwhelming arguments as
to be unanswerable. Senator Ransom at all
times has impressed upon his fellow Senators
the necessity of the improvement, and Sc
cured, as no one but himself could have
done, an almost unanimous vote of the Senate
in its favor. For some time the croakers-
OF whom We have not few-had been pre-
dieting the failure of the measure, and when
the Senate Committee ON Commerce neglected
to report it upon the River and Harbor Bill
many thought it would be abandoned. Sen
ator Ransom, with his well known tenacity
of purpose, only worked the harder, anC
with result that is most gratifying.
Courteous in manner, resOlute of purpose
OF unsullied reputation, seldom addressing
the Senate, but then always with terseness
aptness, and force, Senator Ransom has sue
ceeded in carrying many measures of i'm
pOrtance both to his country and his section
where others equally ardent, but with lesi
tenacity and judgment. have failed.
The noblest monument and most enduring
is gratitude implanted in the hearts of 4
people. To Mr.. Ransom II was reserved Il
build such monument by his unselfsh
able, conscientious, and laborious attention
to the great question of the health, the com
merce, and improvement oi the Nationa
Canital
