Filter for listerils.

a filter is desirable in all cisterns In
this state it is rare to see cistern water
used for drinking or culinary purposes
but wherever that is done u filter is in
dispensable. The water in the cistern is
is liable to contain more or less seli-
ment, and it is better for the ordinary uses
to have the water clean and clear. 4
filter that will answer this purpose can
be easily and cheapily made OF brick.
Locate it anywhere in the bottom of the
cistern where the pipe from the pump
can h. most readily taken. Common
brick laid in cement such rs is used on
the inside Of the cistern, but not plaster
ed OH the bricks either inside or out so
as t. prevent the water from passing
through the BRICK Build the. filter with
d capacity of Is inches square OH the in
side and the water will pass through. as
wanted. 1t can be covered with brick
and cement by placing two or three
small sticks across to support the brick
till the cement sets. Conduct the pipe
from the pump into this before cover
ing, and SO arrange that it will not be
necessary to remove it to repair the
pump. BY this method the water will
always be clear.
Some build brick partition across the
cistern and conduct the water from the
roof into one part and put the pump in
the other; this will answer as we'll but
takes more brick.

From eighty to 100 are laid ut 4 time

FASHIONABLE WATERING PLACE +

Watering places are the paradise of f]irta-
ton, and - matter of course they are the
scenes ofjealousy and criticism. This is
nothing new, and . half century ago It thus
awoke the muse of Byron:
Now Laura moves along the joyous crowd,
Smiles in her eyes and sfmcers on her
lips;
To some she whispers ard to Others speaks
aloud,
To some she curtsies and to some she dips,
Complains Of warmth, and this complaint
AvOWed, S. z-
Hec lover brings the lemonade she sips.
She then surveys, condemns, but pities still
Her dearest friends for being drest 90 i'll.
One has false curls. another too much paint,
A thirdIwhere did she buy that ftightfal
A fourth: 50 pale she fears she's going to
A fifth looks dowdyi,h, vulgar, and sub
urban,
A sixth's white silk has got a yellow taint,
A seventh's thin muslin will surely be her
= bane.
Meantime, while she was thus at other. eaz.
ing,
Others were leveling their looks At her;
She heard the mems half whispered mode of
praising.
And till twas done determined not to stir.
The above is so appropriate to the mod
ern state OF society chat it certainly may
claim place in any watering place sketch
in the present day.

Meat vs.. Flesh.

Prairie Farmer. '''-.. .t-'
10 make the greatest quantity of the
best meat for the feed consumed should
be the effort Of every intelligible breed
er, and the animal which will do this
best is the one for profit. A Arm but
elastic skin, mellow and of medium
thickness, indicates good meat vel
marked with fat. A soft skin, floating
on blueberry fat, indicates interior flesh.
The animals that will turn out the great
est quantity Of lean meat in the prime
parts, with only moderate amount of
ottal, and only moderate quantity of
fat, and this nicely marbled through the
flesh, and notthose running to outside
fat nor inside tallow, are those sought.
The back, loin and ribs are choice parts,
then the rump, next the thighs. then
the shoulders, and last the neck and
head are the inferior parts. Observa-
tion should give the feeder
good indication of the
value Of the animal. that is,
the general contout, size, length,
breadth, thickness, general fineness OF
head, body and limb. The spring of the
rib, tho manner in which the ribs are
brought close to the hip bone, and the
breadth Of the buttocks, are the salient
features in all animals that are to pro-
duce good meat. The eye should be full,
mild and bright. The head small, but
wide between the eyes, and with the
horns fine. A slab-sided dull-eyed, pa
per-skinned, harsh-haired beast never
pays for its feed, and soft, mossy hair
never goes with such an animal. The
time has long since passed when talow
was sought in either bullock or a
sheep. Why? The days Of t.llow can
dies are passed. Hence it is the cheap
est part of Il bullock. There is yet too
much of it i'll the average steer. While il
is the fact that the incest discrimination
is necessary to judge of the actual value
of an animal by the eye and touch, it is
no less true that any farmer may 10y
careful discrimination and experience,
soon come to be measurably correct in
his estimate Of the animal he is buying
or rearing. 1t will pay to so educate:
himself if he expects to succeed either
as u breeder or feeder.

How to Preserve Ferns

The following hints about the best
method Of preserving ferns will interest
those who have made so many failures
with this hardest Of all plants to man

kinds Of ferns may be pressed with sat
isGactory results-the evergreen, maid
cnhair and Hartford fern. In gather
ing, take u long basket. and limo the bot
tom and sides thickly with fresh leaves
or ferns, and cover in the same way
when the collection is complete. This
is to prevent their willing. If carried
in the hands only few moments, they
may be spoiled. Press Immediately, or
place in the cellar until ready to do so.
If wiited, they may be freshened by en-
tireiy im.nersing in water, but it is like
ly to injure the color If they were
wet, dry before pressing. July and Au-
gust is the most favorable time for gath
ering, rs they are then ut their best. a

a good result are 4 sufficient quantity Of
paper. Il perfectly even pressure, and Il
proper degree Of weight. The paper
should he ofa soft, porous nature and un-

on it, rocking it in every direction until
the ferns are perfectly smooth. Remove
the heavy weight, and substitute one of
perhaps ten or twelve pounds. Be sure;
that the pressure is exactly equal, for If

will be spoiled. Ii the weight is too
