in the bag Even onions may be fed to COWS without havoring the milk, if given long enough before milking.
 Potato stalks should be left through the winter where they grow. They are rich in fertilizing value and protect the surface from blowing and loashing through the winter. It is sometimes recommended to carry them into the barnyard for manure, but they are of more value where they were grown.
 Remember, when onions are run ming too much to tops, and liable to turn out scullions, break over the tops near the ground. And if cabbages begin to crack their heads, lift them with a fork a little. And to cause tomatoes to ripen quickly, abundantly and early, lift them little in the same way.
 All animals in their natural state are rarely subject to contagious dis eases, while all classes of domestic animals are seldom free therefrom. We must attribute the cholera and other diseases, therefore, to the condi- tions surrounding the hog in the pen. From life of freedom he is consigned to imprisonment and relegated to a diet incompatible to his taste. With the free air around him in his former condition, he now breathes the odors of the pen. From bed of leaves and boughs he is transported to filth and worried with insects. All these things must be considered in arriving at a knowledge of the causes which bring disease and death to our swine.

Household Hints.

After pairing fruit drop it in cold water to prevent it changing color.
 The smoke spots from kerosene lamp can be washed off ceilings with soda water.
 Always put little soda in milk that is to be boiled, as an acid is formed by boiling. ss -.
 A coarse willow-ware basket may be made very pretty by rubbing with bronze shoe polish and tying bow of old gold ribbon to the handle.
 Few people know that by setting a glass fruit-jar on folded towel thor oughly soaked in cold water, the fruit can be poured in boiling hot with no more danger of breaking than with a tin pan.
 Turn the children out into the sun shine to play; go out in it yourself: my word for it, you will never regret it. We can hardly get too much sunshine into our homes or into our lives. Our highest duty to ourselves, to our chil- dren, and to society requires that we be as glad, as sunny, as happy as it is possible for us to be. It is not right that we stay in shadow ourselves, nor bring shadow into other lives, when the means to do otherwise lie within our reach.

Here are a few of innumerable ques-
tons which printers are called upon
to answer:
"Do you print both sides of the pa
per at once ?'
GLOW long does it take to make a

"Why are those boxes of different

find a certain letter."
Cant you print picture of every
thing you want ? should think you

(After printing some horse bills for
q man not long ago, he found fault
with them because the "cut" wasn't
just like his horse. On another occa-
sion, a gentleman came to US with the
information that he had left his horse
in front of the office, and wanted a
picture of it taken, and some bills
printed.)
"If you print a hundred bills for
three dollars, l suppose you will let
me have four for twelve cents ?"
/ should think it would be fun to
be an editor-you don't do anything
but sit down and read newspapers and
stories all day! ~
"Do you throw your type away af.

of this type, do your"
sit can't be very hard to set type

Can't help you print something?'
Il wish you would print my name
for me: it wouldn't be much trouble
to print off just one name!"
"What is this for? What do you
do with that? What makes you look
so funny? What are you going to dc
now? What for? Why? What
makes you keep so still? You don't

Then climbing up the tender-he hastily
locked back,
Ger the top OF the icy ears-and stun more
icy track.
But the brakes were unattcnded-the engi
neer turned pale,
Wen stop on the up grade~-he said, of the
engine keeps the rail"
The grade Is reached, the train IS slopped-a
man Is then sent back,
To end the missing brakemGn-he was told
TO search the track,
While friends around are misunderstanding
his return,
Let us follow on in sadness-and see what VIC
can learn;
LOOkl he stops, then stoops and gazes-at an
object on the ground,
It's the brakemans head and shouldeIs-hat
and boots are scattered round,
Then he turned and shouted loudly-with a
face of horror filled,
"Ho! you there, go back and tell thcrn-tell
them that the brakeman's killed.
There's mourning ell along the line-the
tram men pass along,
With long and anxious faces-that tell OF
something wrong,
Their usual jollity suppressed-tneir faces all
turn pale,
As they think of him the brakeman-killed
that morn on the rail.
Let's draw veil upon the scene-and turn
with tender care,
To comfort her who suffers most-her grief
is hard TO bear.
God pity that poor mother-who mourns her
sons sad end,
And give her strength to bear the loss-and
10 her comfort send.

The reports from New Orleans are
all to about the same effect: that there
is great deal to see, but nothing as
vet equal to the centennial in 1876 ];
that the exhibition is not yet in order;
that adequate arrangements have not
been made for the transportation of
visitors; and that the hotels and board
ing houses and restaurants purpose to
make all they can out of the crowd of
visitors. 1t is added by most cores
pondents that there is no need of be-
ing in hurry to see the show-that IL
few weeks later, say February, will do
quite us we'll, or better.
