Losses by Fire.

There are frequent destruction of farm
houses in the winter by fire caused by
carelessness. Taking up ashes in wood
en- vessels-putting ashes with fire in
them IN old barrels or boxes too near
the dwelling or out-buildings. Fire will
slumber for days buried in ashes, and
then be suddenly famed into fame bv
the rising of the wind. Or there NAV
be defective flues, where dry wood
comes close in contact with the smoke.
The tiue fills with SCOT. In very cold
weather large fires are made, the SCOT
ignites and burns out the fiue with in
tense heat. The contiguous timber is
set on fire, and probably burns slowly
for hours or even days. In the dead
hour of night it may break out. con-
Stunning the dwelling with all of the con-
tents. and it may be some of the prec-
ious inhabitants. For this who is to
blame? The head of the family who
neglects to see that his chimney fiues.
stove pipes and ash bins are all safe. Or
1t may be some inferior member of the
family who neglects or disobeys orders
in the placing of ashes in safe place.
If house is burned by any one of the
foregoing causes, very few of the own
ers will recollect the surrounding cir
cumstances distinct enough to tell the
insurance company all about it. The
colder the weather the greater the dan
ger of the destruction of farm houses.
hence the importance of farmers ON
reading this ticle to examine and see
that all their chimney ilues, stove pipes
and ash bins are ,ectly safe, and
that those who take up ashes strictly
follow the safest rules laid down by in
surance com, anies as to the care and
disposition of ashes. Farmers wives
who are worth keeping are particular
about having all of their good wood
ashes for the purpose of making bet
ter article of soap than can ever be had
at the grocery. twill pay to build a
brick vault or ash house on every farm,
at safe distance from all buildings,
and then make it an invariable rule that
any one taking up ashes, no matter
what kind of vessel they are in, is to
put them at once, without allowing any
thing to intervene, in the fire-proof ash
bin. This will secure safety, and there
is no other plan which will. Nearly all
of the incendiary fires by which farm
houses are destroyed are the negligent
acts and careless supervision of the
owner. Look now, and to day to any
part of the house where there is any pos
slbility of fire being communicated

SEED BEDS.

Hints On Seed Sowing ana Growing.
Germantown Telegraph.
II should be remembered that much OF
the success in the growing of seeds depends
on keeping the seeds moist and near the
air, If they are on the surface they haVe
air enough, bat 40 moisture j; they are
deep in the ground they have moisture,
but 10 air, hence the seed sower has to
have a good practical know ledge OF the
seeds he is sowing in order to grade the
depth Of tie seed, or how TO operate 50 as
TO get all the needed conditions without
sowing the seed too deep. Many seeds have
the power of sprouting very sonn after they
are sown These may 60 Un to moist
surface with little chance Of TIE ground
driving cut before The scedS come up but
those Which take several weeks TO germi-
nate require more knowledge ard care.
The best of all methods Of guarding
against the drying out of seeds sown ueaI
the surface is to prepare the soil first 80
that it ebal ho reduced to powder. 10
this end on the farm the roller is one Of
the most valuable implements. In many
cases where land IS coarsaly titled, large
uuantitjer of seed do not como up. be.
cause much is 100 deep and more near the
surface dries up, and because the coarse
soil retains little moisture. Half the seed
often sown might be saved if the ground
were crushed by good rolling before SOW
ing. Nearly every seed would then grow
instead of half as now, and grow more
regularly.
In the garden as Oh the farm much
might be saved by attention to this simple
fact. How many persons ever saw
roller il a vegetable garden? Not many.
But whenever it is used 4 very great de
gree of success is sure to follow. In the
fall, before the strawberry beds ale com
peted, the ground should be first rolled,
after being dug, aud then the plants
should be set out even in the dryest time,
without being obliged to bury the cgowns.
which should always he avoided il posi-
BILE Well rolled and firmly set, the
plants neyer diy up and seldom orc fails
10 grow. l., The spring, also, before
sowing aIi seed. the roller should go
over the PREPARED ground a few days after
being dug and Iaked. In such case it
will be found that the seed will SO g3ner-
ally grow that Il will not require one hall
the quantity that the unroiled ground will.
Try it and see, all WHO have not yet
adopted this methOd.
The same course should be taken in FOR
warding seeds grown in boxes and placed
III the windows, instead OF hotbedS. Ii
the seeds in this case be sown shallow, the
sunlight through the glass dries the sur.
face too much, and seeds do not grow
we'll. SO III order to guard against this,
take a piece Of newspaper to fit the surface
of the box and lay 1t loosely over the seeds.
In This way the surface keeps moist for Il
week without watering, while i'll other
cases it is necessary to sprinkle perhaps
every dav, and often thc box gets Sc
much water in this way as to make the
bulk OF water sour, SO that after tho seeds
do sprnut they rot off. In this way, too,
Great success will attend the growing OF
parsley.

Various Farm Notes.

The old plan of blowing under manure
has pretty much been abandoned by
many farmers as wasteful. Advanced
farming believes and teaches, that the
intimate and thorough incorporation of
the fertilizing principle into that por-
ton of the soil which is TO be occupied
Immediately by the roots of the grow
ing crop, is a truth taught by expert
and the more evenly and thoroughly
this is done the more surely will the
crop be satisfactory.
w. Fl. Haskell, Springfield, VT,
writes to the Mirror that young cattle
will do well if watered but once day,
if otherwise well cared for. 81 once
knew pair of fancy oxen tattened for
the butcher, and very rapidly too, thar
hgd water but once a day. There
should be fixed time for watering,
aud near the middle of the day"
These methods for killing lice on
cattle are given in the Mirror and
Farmer: Take equal parts Of I've soap
aud warm water and apply to horses
or cattle let it remain Oh the animal
for two hours then wash of with
application is sufficient, but usually
two are required. This is good for
mango and other diseases of the skin.
1t leaves the animal with sleek and
healthy-looking coat. G. F. Nutting
of Randolph says sft fine dry salt,
from head to tail, pint to q COW, in
December or January, half pint in
February no stock will come out lousy
in the spring. Six years tIial without
failure leads him TO recommend it.
Two years ago, we had stable infest-
ed W it'll lice; we gave the stanchions
thorough withdrawing aud applied
soap and water to the cattle, which
entirely rid them OF lice and they have
not been troubled since. Some people
recommend using arsenic with soap, but
say soap alone, fer it will do the
work just as well. | would caution
people against using any poisonous in
gradients, as 1 have known many
valuable animals to be killed by so
doing.

Manufacturers and the Tariff.

We have several times expressed our
doubts whether the alliance between
the wool growers aud wooden manu-
facturers would last a dav after the
manufacturers found they could hold
on 10 their protection without the help
OF the farmers vote. In the repo Of
the proceedings in the United States
Senate, February 2, we find the fol-
lowing, which seems to Us city good
evidence that our belief was true
one: "Mr. Coke of Texas said that he
would vote free wool it New England
would agree To reduce the duty on
manufactured wooden goods to twenty
five per cent. Mr.. Frye of Maine said
he believed the New England manu-
facturers would accept the offer with
pleasure" Mr.. Coke represents a
State that can grow wool for less than
halt what it costs the northern farmer.
Tne Texas sheep farmers would take
all the business, if by alliance with the
manufacturers they could kill off their
northern competitors. We pointed
ont exactly this probability m ore than
ten years ago, in discussion with the
late Governor Brown, at that time
editor of the Ne,o England Farmer.
When protection is high the farmers
can get share. When it has to be re-
duced, the manufacturers throw the
farmer to the wolf to save themselves.
