The Importance of Cellar Ventilation.

The ill-health which prevails more or
less uniformly towards spring, may be
accounted for to great degree, by the
lack of ventilation of cellars. Farm
house cellars are often filled inDecember,
with cider and vinegar in barrels.
potatoes in bins, vegetables in heaps,
wash tubs, butter tubs, land other articles
too numerous to mention. Besides,
lowering plants taken up for the winter,
are here stored away to be safe from
frost, and the leaves from them fall and
decay. There are boxes, old timbers,
boards, ETC., which become moist and
mouldy, and there are shelves and
corners, that anyone can see to have
been only half cleaned, and liable to be,
ii not already, damp, mouldy and UNI
wholesome.
The thing to do is, to provide outside
cellars as soon as possible, for fruits and
vegetables, and al tho e things liable to
decay; but before that is done, we must
do everything possible to have our cellars
unGe' the dwellings sweet and clean.
First the cellar should be swept (hoed
out if necessary, once a week. Decay
ing things, whether fruit, vegetables or
boards, should be removed, Then
quick-lime, CT huff slaked lime, hould
be scattered freely in corners, under
shelves, under bins, and around and
among the barrels of all kinds. When
the lime has Stacked to powder, it
may be swept about over the floor. If
the floor be of earth, it will harden it; ii
1t be of wood or cement, 1t will help to
keep it sweet. Finally, on every suit
able day, windows and doors should be
thrown open, and fresh air allowed to
pass freely through. Am. 4dgricultWrist.

FARMERS COLUMN
Cost Of Barreling Apples.

The cost of barrel of apples on the
average, is about as follows: barrel,
thirty cents; picking, seven cents; sort
ing and barrclling, seven cents; hauling
to market six cents; total, fifty cents.
The price we get, ranges from one
dollar, to one dollar and seventy five
cents per barrel. The average being
about one dollar and twenty-five cents
it makes a great difference in the profits,
whether we get one dollar, or one dollar
and seventy-five cents. After deduct
ing fifty cents for barrel and labor, we
make just as much on two barrels at one
dollar and seventy-five cents, as we do
on FIVE at one dollar each. The fact is,
that the best apples are the cheapest,
and arc in greatest demand. Last year
my apples were sent to Scotland, and /
presume will go there again this year.
1t would be a good thing for us, if we
could stop sending poor fruit to market,
both at home and abroad. Better send
all the inferior fruit to the dry-house OF
the vinegar factory, and l believe
farmers are perfectly willing to do this,
if apple buyers would pay fair price
for good apples, and refuse TO buy in
ferior fruit at any price.
The buyers can bring about the desired
change, if they will unite. Last veal
the buyers wanted apples packed in larg,
barrels, and the farmers almost to {
man this year, complied with their re
quest. There are no pony barrels
used this year. The farmers compiled
because they felt that the buyers wer
right. Now let the buyers equally firm
and united in regard to buying inferio
fruit.-JosEPH HARRIS in Am. 1gri

A Remarkable Escape.

Mrs. Mary \. DALEY, of Tunkhan-
mock, Pa, was afflicted for six years
with Asthma and Bronchitis, during
which time the best physicians could
give no relief. Her life was despaired
of, until in last October she procured a
bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery
when immediate relief was felt, and by
continuing its use for a short time she
was completely cured, and gaining in
flesh so lbs. in few months.

The Doctor Talks to tho Bows.

have seen a great deal of evil come
from the discomfort of boys with their
home life. AS soon as they arrive at
the age of sixteen or eighteen years, they
think that the farm is too small for
them, and that the city is the only
proper place in which to live. If the
parents yield to their Persuasions, their
boys go to the city, which they find TO
be already full of boys, looking for
something to do. If they manage TO
struggle along, the majority of those
who support themselves lead life of
hard work and priyation, and but very
small number make a success in life
Some of these boys-happy indeed if
they can do so, make their way back to
their homes. Some continue to struggle,
ashamed to go back, and still others,
number sad to contemplate, go down
ward to a life of shame. Do not under
stand me to say that no boys should
leave the country for the city. The
mischief comes from boys making a
change for the sake of change, and
before they find out what they are fit
for; indeed before they have really found
what their country home has to offer
them. l have tried TO show our boys
that if they find life duh, and would
have novelty, that each Spring, the
wood, the meadow, the stream and the
fields are as full of novelties as the most
crowded city street. Would they see
wonders, each seed that is placed in the
ground, each bud that opens upon brush
or tree, even each egg that is placed
under the old hen, is working out a
greater wonder than any city Snowman
can present. Even the commonest
thing the pebble under foot, q bit of
limestone or of coal, has a story to tell.
While / would not check the proper
aspirations of any boy, / would have
him first know something about the
