nIoce them above the bath after filling

windows and let the flowers remain there
for an hour or two. Another good
method is to place the flowers in the
kitchen on wash day, where the steam
arising from the clothes will benefit
them.

If you did not take advantage of the
mild autumn to prune the orchard trees,
grapevines, ETC., don't attempt it until
next spring, when the fine weather has
fairly set in. The wounds caused by
pruning during cold, freezing weather,
render the trees more liable to be in
iured by frost. 1t is not too late to cover
up half-hardy grapevines, standard rose
trees, and plants.
A heifer having dropped her first calf,

months or so before dropping the

A prominent English poultry raiser
gives the following remedy for rOup and
gapeS. One pound of sulphate of iron,
OneOunce of sulphuric acid dissolved IN
Jug with hot water, then let it stand
twenty-four hours, and add one gallon
OF spring or good well water. When fit
Tor use, one teaspoonful to a pint of
water given every other day to chickens
and once a week to old fowls, will make
roup and gapes strangers to the poultry
yard, where it is used. A provfso may
well be added, that perfect cleanliness
must be maintained; the fowls must be
well treated in other respects.
Mr.. L. Jones, of Russo, Iowa, con-
tributes to the Homestead the following:
On the 18th of last April had placed in
small pond, % feet in diameter and one
1901 deep, three German carp five inches
long thath had been wintered in the house
ana ana were consequently in very poor con-
u6Ilon. The oath day of August drew
on the water TO see my little fish, and
FOUND they were twelve inches in length
ana would weigh from a pound to a
pound and half. Their principal food
uurlng the time they were in the pond
was sheat oats. On the last day of
SapIu' 1873, l procured from the United
SS'a1e9 ftSh Commissioner twenty small
al man leather carp, varying from an
iiiIcIn-anq-a-haf to two inch and a half
81 - Igngth. These were placed IN a pond
VI ABOUT one-fourth of an acre in extent
anu elght feet deep. They are as large
no"I not larger than those in the
o 81 pond. Think of it! A growth

Coullhenced feeding them regularly on
scraps from the table, such as cold
