Beautifying enc Home.

Nov that the holidays are over and
we will no longer indulge in giving fancy
work to our friends, it is hoped thai
most women will have time to do some.
thing toward identifying their own
homes. AT least some one nice piece OF
needlework should be commenced, and
if possible be finished before the spring
cleaning. Ono very effective piece OF
work is this: Take a piece OF drab. OF
olive felt suitable for the cover of a chair
cushion and another for the back of the
chair; on these have patterns stamped.
The prettiest sort of decoration is that
in which antique work aud embroidery
are combined, and there are many Of
these VIII CHI are attractive and yet are
not laborious. The framework of the
chair should be low, and the felt should
be bordered with plush or velvet of
darker shade. Another very pretty
piece of work is the cover for a sofa pil.
low. This may be of olive felt with
large spray of flowers in kensington EN-
broidery; have the branch or stem start
at n corner. A border and back Of
dark crimson velvet is all the finish a
cushion needs to make it elegant. An.
other cushion cover is made by putting
q bias stripe Of crimson velvet diagonal,
~ across the cushion, and on each side
ofthis put stripes made by sewing strips
of velvet or velvet ribbon ~together-the
should be of the plain velvet,
and the back also; put two small soft
tasSeiS ut each corner.-N. Y. Post.

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.
Agricultural Notes.

Mr.. ]. A, Bill, Lyme, Conn, tried the
'ten.hour system and says his men,
with ''Bungtown'' watches and heavy
gold" chains, sat around logs telling
puns when it was seven O'clock in the
morning. THE next year he ran his
arm himself."
A farmer is mentioned blythe Catham
Courier who, upon turning horse into
he field, leads him slong the wire fence
ind brings his nose a few times in con-
act with the barbs. After that eXper-
fence the intelligent animals keep at
4 safe distance, and none have been IN
iured.
Unless the house be warm and the
food wholesome and abundant. the hens
will furnish very few eggs. The birds
enjoy the winter sunshine.
Some prefer to sell al theirswine and
buy what "hog products they desire;
out as a rule, it is preferable to kill what
IS needed at home. even when not
necessary, as it is on a majority of farms
perhaps. One then knows the health
fulness and quality of what he is eating,
and with a little experience and skill,
arm slaughtering is more economical.
The introduction of pulleys and some
other simple c%ontrivances, enabling one
Or two men to handle and dress a con-
siderable number Of heavy hogs in u few
hours, has, in recent years. done away,
with the dread and much OF the impor-
lance of 'sbutchering day.'-American
Agriculturist.
Professor S. johnson Of the Michigan
Agricultural College has made many ex-
periments with ensilage during the past
lew years. He finds it better to have
several small silos, or divisions, than
one large one; that weighing with
stones, barrels OF earth, etc, is more sat
.stactory than a screw; and the silo is
one of tie most economical methods of
storing fodder. Professor johnson finds
three tons of ensllage equal in feeding
value to II ton of hay, and therefore a
fair crop of ensilage means the growing
of an equivalent to six to ten tons of hay
per acre. Ensilage is a cheap substitute
ior rcots-but an expensive crop for the
general farmer.-American Agricultur-
iSt

Roads That Need Reforming.

Major Hugh 7. Brooks remarks that
the cost of bad roads can never be sum
med up till we are able to compute the
value of time, life, health and happi-
ness. Part of his tale of "rrightful
losses" traceable to this source, we
quote from Rural Home:
Here are farmers going ten miles to
market with forty bushels of wheat
when they might draw eighty with more
ease if the roads were suitably graded
and prepared-half the day thrown
away. A well broken team will move
several tons IN u road level smooth and
hard. Here is a valuable young horse
stuck in the mud: in%discreetly urged he
takes issue with his driver and passes
into the category of 'balky' animals,
Here is q span of horses jaded, spawned
and Wlndbroken by drawing loads over
steep, slippery and miry places. Here
are people overtaken by storms drag
ging slowly along through mud and
mlre, immensely uncomfortable. Here
are lnvalids who started out for health
delayed and damaged by the rough and
rutty ways. Here are persons going on
moonless midnights to minister 10 the
t"S' NAiSAh'SCiSSo Ii lllLlllGUt
danger from the protuberances, pits and
preclpices that line the roadsides."
And here, in conclusion, are the writ.
er's views as to what we ought to dc
about it,
1--WE should secure a good grade,
either by passing around the hills which
can often be done without much in.
crease Of distance, or by carting them
INTO the valleys. A steep hill on a lead.
ing road, compelling teamsters to load
light, generation alter generation, costs
ten times as much as it would cost tc
grade it down. Soft ground should be
tu%rnpiked, the road-bed raised high
with deep little bitches atttie sides, hav.
ing q free outlet for water, and no scrap
ing in of sod, clay and muck afterward
Small stones ana very coarse gravel a,
least a foot thick we'll rounded I'D ans
covered with q little fine gravel make 4
good roadhed, and nothing else viii
After putting the road into prope,
shape, don't tolerate rrts, Int hoe back
the gravel every few days till the road
is smooth and welEsettled."
