A NICE PLACE FOR FARMING.

1t requires some degree Of credulity to
induce any American farmer to believe
that q railroad was about to be built
from Winnipeg, in the Providence OF
Manitoba, in the Dominion of Canada,
along the valley of the "Red river OF
the North" for the purpose Of develop
ing the wheat culture of that remote
and frigid country. And yet two dis
tinct companies were chartered by the
Dominion government to build such a
line, to be woI Sed as a branch or tribu.
tary of the Canada Pacific Railroad;
and as this was thought to be rather too
much of a good thing, the two COM
panies have been consolidated into one
corporation, which is said to be quite
sanguine of success. Truly, aftSr this
we shall not be in the least surprised to
peal of a railroad being built through
British Columbia to connect our OWL
Northern Pacific line with the alleged
gold regions and coal mines in our
Territory of Alaska. Ofcourse we shall
be told that wheat and vegetables are
now successfully cultivated in the
Province of Manitoba, directly north
from Minnesota and Dakota, and that
the population of the Province is rapid
ly increasing under the influence of
railroads connecting it with Minnesota
and the Canadian cities. But we pre-
fer to wait and see where their
population will be after a few years.

KEEP YOUR CELLARS CLEAN.

Those who have in charge the care of
the household should frequently think
of their cellars, and though they may
not be often exposed to the eyes OF
strangers, take care that they are
always in a clearly condition, free from
annOyances and n~uisances of all kinds.
4 tidily-kept cellar has much to do
with the health of the family, especial
ly in the spring of the year, or wherever
''heatels" are introduced into houses.
No vegetables, except potatoes, should
be stored in the cellar. Especially
81 Ou!dcabbage, beets, celery and turnips
be excluded. All these are offensive in
II ems elves and injurious to health,
while at the same time they are all pre-.
served in Il much superior hammer out
# doors. A cellar should be thorough
~ whitewashed n ce a year and swept
md put in order twice a month.
The air in a properly kept cellar will
not become impure when the weather
ONE sufficiently cold to render
necessary the closing up of the open
windows: while on the other hand, the
air ola cellar so closed up, which is I'M
tidily kept and filled with vegetables,
some of them in a decayed state, may
we'll be imagined. All c~ellars, however,
should have the outside doors thrown
open for an hour or two at midday upon
clear days, when the temperature is
above the freezing point. MARTHA.

ABOUT SEED CORN.
To tie Editor of the Register.

10 Ae EdltOr OF me hkgetef.
1t surprises me to hear so much said
and so much complaint about the seed
corn question, for it is evident that the
trouble all comes from carelessness n
saving the seed. Why any man should
be so Indifferent to his own interest in
such a vital matter is past my compre-
hension.
AT times corn seed taken from the
crib or carefully picked up will grow,
but is it i'm any case safe TO depend on
any but the sure plan of selecting the
earliest and best specimens early in the
fall and keeping it carefully slowed
away under cover? Theinterest which
| always take in this matter may be
compared with the interest a boy takes
when he goes out to dig worms for fish
bait. A good stock of seed corn hang
ing up i'll the granary seems to add to
our stores of good things, in which
every farmer should take pride.
| marked all the best ears fOrseed anu
guard their preservation with Jealous
care. l have laid up a surplus of seed
corn and sold to my neighbor at Sl.OO
per bushel, while he sold his corn at 30
cents. If u surplus should be on hand
nothing is lost, as it is Just as good or a
little better for any other purpose.
1t is very commendable for farmers to
get up a friendly rivalry as to who can
produce the best crops, stock, etc The
poetry and interest there is in these
things, otherwise than the matter of
profit or loss, should inspire an ambiti-
Gus man to thoughtful action, and the
farmer who has enterprise enough to
always supply himself with the right
kind of seed corn is the early bird that
catches the worm. O. W..

H~ousekeepers, don't think that be-

of the most dismal and desolate homes

keep everything in the same position.
But there was something lacking to
give them a cheerful and home-like
appearance. No nice little tixings on
the tables or on the walls to take up
ones attention, and give a rest to our
eyes that have tired Of the few stiff,
old fashioned pictures on the wall and
the few ponderous volumes on the CEN

steleoscopic views, no dried grasses and
pressed flowers, moses, shells or ferns.
No; these might litter the carpet and
injure the housekeeper's reputation for
neatness. But let me tell you, when
YOU shut these and many more nice
things from your rooms, you shut out
more brightness than you think for. In
my estimation, all your nice Brussels

WHEAT CULTURE.

After observing the various methods
of fitting and repairing the ground

or three inches Of fine mellow dirt on
top of the ground. 1t is a good plan to
have barnyard manure, well-rotteu

at the rate of fifteen loads per acre.
If farmers would take more pains to
make and save all the manur they
could, there would be no need of buying

Harvesting, although of late COM

Greatly appreciated, from the fact that
wheat harvesting, concentrating and

makes up considerably for the tninness

the diminutive guinea cows, as they are
now called, though that was not the

breed was undoubtedly perfected by the
late Colonel Stapler, who before the war

The Chicago Inter Ocean claims that
hay can be shipped profitsbly from the
