fruit is used, the apple peelings are in

they are put into a jar, and covered
with warm water, to be set in a warm

makes a difference; but if thrown away
heedlessly it is one of the small leaks
that keep a housewives hands forever
in her pockets when marketing has to
be purchased. Careless using of 8
stove or range is another leak that is
not fully appreciated; nothing is worse
than spilling cold water on the iron
when it is red hot-a crack is almost
sure to be the result, though not per.

1t is also injurious to allow the wood
to be piled above the lining bricks of q
coal stove, liable to fall over on the in.
side plate, and it soon burns out the
lining and warps the iron. If we could

should all be. The man who uses to.
bacco could purchase a small library
with the money; the woman who al.
lows the pieces of soap to be thrown
out after washing in the water, and
children's food to be thrown in the ash
barrel, might be able with the saved
amount to take q newspaper she wish.

as many cotton rags lying around an
untidy door yard as would procure a
new dipper for the family use, while
they were using one with a hole in the
bottom that let out a treamo of water
all over the floor. Yet / doubt if the
girls in this family could be induced
to take car of these pieces of cloth,
and send them to the tinman, though
not ashamed of the sloppy dipper. All
these things go to prove that it is nee.
essary for every one to study small
economies in their own particular need,
to learn where they a Justly save in
order to make the best of everything.
Train the young people with this idea,
and we shall have less extravaganza,
less useless expenditure and needless
outlay. For there is no better maxim
than that ga penny saved is a penny

to sand.
For early pasture nothing is equal to
orchard grass.
Better the seed better the crop, other
things being equal.
Don't throw away bones, but convert
them into fertilizers.
Cut out the thin shoots from cur
rants, and the fruit will come larger.
Manure is the keystone of all good
farming. Add to the compost heap.
One is not apt to make the soil too
rich for Strawberries, but it can be done.

DR.. Sturtevant, of the New York
Agricultural Station, has been expert
menting on the selection of kernels of
corn for seed. He finds that the small
tip kernels of an ear Of corn are just

The peach produces fruit of much
finer quality when planted upon light
high land with a southern exposure.
1t is also much more hardy and longer

The pear graft will unite with apple
stock, and vice versa, but the union is
so slight that they do not make q sat
~isfactory growth Or live long. As a

interest.
A German paper states that eggs

To keep white and yellow corn from
mixing, plant the white corn on the
windward side of the field, for the vel
low corn will mix by the blossom on
the tassel while the white corr that
we grow will not. Other plants of
similar families must be planted at a
distance from each other to prevent
the seed mixing-that is if you wish
to save the seed.
A stone smokehouse a few feet
square and cheaply covered by boards
is very convenient around farm houses.
Besides it's use for smoking meats it is
a convenient receptacle for wood
ashes, or when not required as a
smosehouse may be stored with feed
for pigs, to whose pen it will naturally
be adjacent. On farms where stone is
abundant the cost of such a building,
aside from roofing, will be only lime,
sand and labor.
