The making of cheese is q very i'm

The making of cheese is a very i'm
portant occupation in Switzerland,
where the riches of man are esti-
mated according to the number of
cheese he possesses. A strange custom
in the Valos is to make a cheese when a
child is born, which is left untouched
during his lifetime, and is often cut into
for the first time at his funeral feast. A
rich man stores up wine as well as
cheese for his own funeral, and when
that event takes place goblet of this
dead wine," as it is called, is placed
on the coffin, the mourners approach,
take the goblet in their hands, touch the
coffin with it, and drink the contents to
a future meeting with their departed
friend.

Mourning Costumes.

The new fabrics for dresses worn by
those in mourning have the canvas eff
iects now so popular in colorcd goods,
ana are made up of pure wool canvas,
the sitter and more firm mohair canvas,
and various mixtures of silk and wool.
The latter are of several different kinds
of weaving, some being smooth sur
fare, straight yet sleazy, and therefore
OF light weight, while others are woven
in open squares of uniform size, and
still others have oval meshes that re-
semble knitting and lace-work. Some
OF the mixed canvas stutfs have Dor
der woven along one selvedge, while
others are striped half their width, SO
that the drapery may be partly plain,
partly striped, the skirt may have a
striped border and the basque may be
made of either plain or striped stuff,
as best suits the wearer's figure The
striped patterns are used by those in
colors as well; hence they are good Sc
lection for light mourning which is soon
to be laid aside, as the dress may still
be used. What is called grenadine
bunting is also canvas-like stuff which
is suitable for midsummer dresses
Nuns yelling of fine smooth wool, as
sheer as the thinnest lawn, remains the
choicest fabric for very deep mourning
dresses, and it is the present sensible
fashion to make this up without Grape
using folds and pleats of the material fol
trimming. Some folds of lisse or O
Grape at the neck and wrists, and bon
net and veil Of English Grape, are con
sidered all that need be added to veil

for the nearest relative.-Ha,per's Ba

away back in the nineties, it cost
$1,000, but the British burned
out it's inside, and its cost has since
added to that sum about 81, 100000.

Farm and Garden Notes.

About 100 bushels Of wood ashes
per acre are q fair proportion to APP
ply on light soils.
The best stock-water is that of
living springs. the next, that of run
uing streams. Fully equal to these
save in the exception of hardness,
is the water of wells, free from sur.
face drainage. The worst water is
that Of slack streams, and especial
ly stagnant ponds.
Celery is a vegetable that drinks
constantly. If thirst is not Quench-
ed the stalks grow tough and hol-
low stemmed. Keep, the plants
growing from the time they appear
above ground in the seed bed. Trans
plant them to rich soil-give them
water as often as they need it, and
give it in abundance, and you will
have tender, plump celery.
An Indiana farmer says he has
had uniform success since he has
adopted the plan of sowing clover
in wheat after the wheat has made
growth of not less than six inches
and from this time until it is ten in
ches high. He harrows the wheat
with a light harrow, the teeth slant
ing back; then SowS the clover, fol
lowing with halfa buShel of plaster

Fowls should be given the full
est possible range in summer to in
sure health. Birds naturally require
a large amount of air and are con-
Stantly alert and in motion. This
is especially true of granivorous
birds, to which class farm fowls
belong. Therefore let the fowls
rooSt out of doors in summer.
Cleanse, fumigate and keep ventil-
ated the winter quarters and they
will again take kindly to them
when the proper season arrives.

Country Roads.

If there is any one thing in which
the farmer is deeply and largely in.
terested, it is the roads over
which he is compelled to travel
Over these he must transport the
produce ofhis farm to market, trav-
ell to the Post office, and wherever
and whenever his business calls
him. If these are in good condi-
ton, it is we'll; but if they are in
bad condition, Reliability of break
age of vehicles, or wear and tear of
vehicles, horses, ETC., is something
annoying beyond endurance almost
AS the population of the countryis
continually tending toward the
great business centers, andso grad
ually becoming less and less, the
burden Of the repair of public high
ways in the manner that they
should be is becoming so heavy
that there is disposition to get
along about as easy as can he for
the time beng; and it is a fact,
much as it is to be regretted. that
in many sections, especially inthose
sections that are billy and rough,
that the roads are not up to the
proper standard OF excellence. The
cause for this state of things are
numerous. First, the location Of
many roads was faulty, going
over Hills and across valleys when
there was little occasion for it; as a
consequence, with steep grades,
and only the loose material of which
roads are usually formed, they con-
tinue to wash and leave exposed
the loose stoneS and boulders that
were more deeply imbedded in the
soil. This is an inevitable result
upon New England hills.
In the next place, as the burden
ofthe construction of country roads
rests upon its population, which is
small, tits the common practice to
cause it to be done in the most
economical manner, without regard
to durability. This must be so from
necessity, because the entire prop
erty of the country would be insult
fcent to build a durable road
Again, the business centers are now
connected by other means of trans
port than by ordinary modes of
teaming, so those who dwell in cit
les and large villages are less in
terested in the character of roads
than when they we're obliged to go
across the country from place to
place by means of the old-faShion-
ed turnpike stage coach. In those
days the payment of tolls aided in
the matter of repairs, and the less
Important roads only were burden
upon the towns for repairs.
The question of the maintenance
ofpublic highways is one that will
soon demand careful consideration
because of the tendency of pOpula
ton 10 centlalize in the large towns,
and so leaving the small towns
growing continually weaker and
weaker, both as regards population
aud wealth; but complete as the
