Tasteful House. Furnishing.

Harmony of color is of the first impor
tance in furnishing. Not that walls, car.
pets, curtains, chairs, ETC., should be of the
same color that would make room cold
and unlnvitipg. There should be two or
three colOrs in a room, but these should
harmonze. If one is conscious that che
has no eye for color, she should consult
some one of known taste before purchasing
articles which, although by themselves
might DO desirable, would perhaps If placed
with others spoil the effect Of the whole,
and be a disappointment to be endured for
years. A carpet for instance should not be
purchased without considering what the
color Of the paint is; and SO of the sofa and
chairs, if they are upholstered. A carpet 10
like the background Of picture, it brings
into effect the whole. Styles for carpets
have entirely changed within few years.
Patterns Of huge bouquets Of impossible
flowers used TO be seen almost everywhere;
now a very small, set figure, so small as to
look almost like plain color at little
distance, is in much better taste. This may
be enlivened by border Of bright colors,
The lovely pearl and gray grounds, with
vines or tracery Of a darker shade, and
bright borders Of Persian patterns, ore very
desirable, and look well with almost every
thing. The fashion Of staining floors black
walnut color for yard or more around the
walls, and having square Of bordered car
pet in the centre, is gaining ground, and
much liked for the pretty style and conven
fence of taking il up for cleaning. 1t is all o
economical. There are now plain, ingram
earpetings, in solid colors, called "flling,"
which are used around these center rugs,
instead OF staining the floor. We haye seen
parlors carpeted with dark, turquoise blue
filling, with Persian rugs oyer them, not in
any sci or regular order. The effect was
very good.-ETHEL sroSE in An. AgrieuI-

In raising fowls for market, liberal feed

does no injury, provided the yards and
quarters are kept clean. The earlier the
chicks come in, the higher are the prices

ers, aud from forty to fifty cents is not an
unusual price for them when brought 10

quality. The best breeds for producing
market chicks are the Plymouth Rocks,
Wyardottes, and Langshans. The last
named possess the quality of fincnes5 Of
grain in the flesh but have dark legs. This
fault is however compensated for by quick
ness Of growth, and the pulletts that may
be kept over for laying have been known to
begin nearly as soon as the Leehorns, which
is very desirable characteristic in a large
breed, lor the Longshans are nearly as large
as the Brahmas. The Wyandottcs are very
plump and compact IN body, and the chicks
have round, attractive appearance. Where
the cocks are changed every year, and il is
desired to combine egg production, weight,
and quick growth, good beginning may
be made by using Cochin or Brahma hens
with Plymouth Rock cock, followed the
next season with cock of the Uoudan
breed. The third year Langshan NAV be
substituted, and then a wyandotte. En-

Prepare for Early Vegetables.

Plants sufficient for the family garden can
be easily raised, usually of better quality
than in hot-bed as generally managed,
and they will interest the young people who
always like to see things grow. Boxes for
the purpose are made of half.iuch stuff well
naile together. Their length should be
suited to the width of the window, a foot
wide, and the depth of three or four inches.
In mo Tern houses window sills are rarely
wide enough to hold such a box, and il Is
well to suspend 1t by means of wire at
each end. Driye in screw near the upper
edg' oi the end Of the box, and near the side
farthest from the window, and correspond.
ing screw in the window casing. A piece of
copper wire twisted around the screw in the
boz aud its ether end made fast TO that iu
the casing,will hold the box securely. Those
who regularly use such boxes, provide Il o
soil for them the autumn before. The lack
oil such provisions need not deter any from
trying to raise plants in this manner. Earth
from the woods is most excellent material
for filling the boxes. This collects in the
hollow places, and can usually be gathered
IN mild time, even in winter. If woods
earth is not to be had, take advantage of a
thaw, and scraP:ng up some garden sui
place it in heap in the cellar until it is d,y
enough to use. If at all heavy, it may be
made porous by adding sand, or, what is
better, fine moss. Procure some sphagnum
or peat'moss, such as nurserymen use for
packing,dry it thoroughly and rub it though
a course wire sieve. One part of this fl o
siited moss to four or fiYe of soil makes an
excellent material for seed boxes. as it will
not become packed by the needed waterinrs.
As a rule, the seeds should be sown in Them
about six weeks before the plants can be
safely set out in the open ground. When
the seedlings are large enough to handle,
usually when they have made two rough
leaves-those after the seed leaves-they
will need transplanting into another box OF
similar soil, setting them an inch apart
each way. Plants in the boxes must have
water as they need 1t, and on warm days
they may be set outside in sunny shelter
ed place, bringing them in before the air
becomes chilly. The vegetables usually
started in window boxes are early cabbages,
caulifiowers, lettuce, and tomatoes; in April,
egg-plants and peppers may be thus sown.
