The luxury of bath room, says an
exchange, can be afforded by only the
comparative few who live in furnace
Or steam-heated dwellings. Bathing
In cold rooms is always dangerous; and
yet the farmers, mechanics and many
others who are able to have few luxu-
ries, can afford least of all to do with
out the comfort and refreshment of
frequent bathing after toilsome days
works. The first means of resting is
to make ones self clean. If more
farmers realized this, not so many of
them would leave the harvest field or
the treshing machine covered with the
sweat and dust of the day, eat a hearty
supper and go to bed as soon as chores
are done, sleeping in the same soiled
undergarments they have worn all
day. They always get up tired.
Why? Resting consists of two pro-
cesses-throwing off the effete matter
of the body and assimilating new
supply of fresh material from the
blood. Now when the farmer. or any
body else, goes to bed with the soiled
underclothes of the day, with his skin
covered with a thin coating of dust
and perspiration. the system can't get
rid of its effete matter, because the
he pores are clogged up; while the
absorbents of the skin actually con-
vey back into the system the poi
Ionous matter once thrown off, but

Household Hints.

Never allow fresh meat to remain in
paper; it absorbs the juices.
A little borax put in the water in
which scarlet napkins and red -bordered
towels are to be washed will prevent
them fading.
The cheapest furniture polish is a
mixture of linseed oil and turpentine,
laid on thin coat, rubbed off with o
soft cloth and polished.
The rage for old furniture is increas.
ing: and there should be in every fam.
lily desk, table or chair, originally
possessed by the great-grandparents.
Mirrors should never be hung where
the sun shines directly upon them, OF
they will soon become rough, misty, OF
granulated, and no longer give back
a correct likeness. The amalgam, OF
union of tin-foil and mercury, which
is always spread on the glass to make
mirror, will BIO speedily ruined by
direct and continued exposure to the
sun.
Young housekeepers who are wor.
ried when they wish to wash feather

(if they have no old tick to empty the
feathers into) to sew together two
sheets, leaving half of one end open
and ripping the half of the tick tt
match it. Sew both holes together
thus emptying out the tick without
spreading the feathers.

Changing Seed.

Changing seed" has long been
practiced by farmers. and with excel
lent results, it often being attended
with largely increased crop. All
farmers are acquainted with the fact
that If some kinds of seed are not
changed the crop will soon run out.
This fact is true of grains, but applies
to a larger extent to garden vege-
tables. For instance. the onion seed
of Connecticut is imported from Tri-
poll, and grows well there for one or
two crops. but il the cultivation is
long continued from the original seed
the onions soon are only of the size of
acorns. Again, potatoes grow we'll in
Louisiana and as far south as the
Bermudas if the seed is taken there
from cool climate each year. Heavy
oats taken from the cool, moist eli
mates of Canada and northern Europe
and grown in the Northern or Middle
United States will produce a better
yield the first year than if grown on
their native soil.
One reason, and the principal one,
for these facts is that every plant has
native region which is limited in ex-
tent, and that when an attempt is
made to grow it out of that range it
soon deteriorates and requires to be
renewed from seed grown in its
native range. This is particularly
true of Sea Island cotton, seed of
which has been planted in every cot
ton growing soil in the world, but
which rapidly degenerates, and can
only be grown away from its native
region by the constant use of fresh
seed. These peculiarities of varieties
of plants have brought the business of
growing seed to so large proportions.
Another reason why the change of
seed is often beneficial to the farmer is
that the diseases which afflict our
crops and the insects which prey upon
them prefer some varieties to others,
and the diseases or insects will become
more abundant in the localities where
the varieties they prefer are most
cultivated. If, then, a new variety be
introduced, one which is no better in
any way than the other only in so far
as it is less subject to the ravages Of
insects, there is advantage to be de.
rived from the change.-Corn Miller
