WIN. Falconer, in the Country Gen
tleman, says that parsnips, satisfy

forked when planted on freshly ma
nured soil.
1t is said that the best mode of US
ing sulphur about plants, in order to
destroy insects, is to sprinkle it on the
ground during a warm day, when it
will prove beneficial without injuring
the plants.-Iroy Times.

One gives the body up to sleep with
a fuller sense of rest, a deeper sweet
ness, if the last look around the rooms,
bed-candle in hand, has shown every
object in its right place and its best con-

and beautiful.-Montreak Witness.
Leaves are to plants whatlungs are
to animals-the organs of respiration.
An animal can not grow, nor long con-
tinue to live, without the aid of lungs.
A vegetable can not grow without the
aid of the leaves, nor continue to live if
| wholly Invested of them during the
season of growth.-Aibamy Journal.
If your hogs begin to cough, look
out for malignant lung troubles. If
they NOPE and lie about their beds, in
testinal difficulties may be suspected.
Plenty of pure air, pure water, and
varied food will scare away malignant
| diseases. How many farmers pay
proper attention to the condition of their
hogs and where they are keptP-W West

Date Sauce: Date sauce, which is
very nice with bread buildings, is made
by stewing dates in Just enough water
to them; let them simmer for
three-quarters of an hour, then if the
dates are soft rub them through a colan-
der. beat it until it is light, add water if
it is needed to thin it, let it come to a
boil. If you have saved the juice of
fruit when canning it, use this instead
of water to thin the sauce. The juice
# c%urrants is especially appetizing.-
Boston Budget.
Save the small roots of h~orse-radish
for planting. They should be cut into
pieces about three inches long, cutting
the top end square across and the bot
tom slantiDg, in order to know which is
the top end when planting. 1t is not
advisable to plant the crowns of the
plant, as they will only produce a
mass of small roots that are not avail
able for use, except for cutting to plant.

The HusbandaaGn says a barn sheet
is something which ought to be found
on every farm, but seldom is. 1t is
simply a large sheet of heavy cotton
sheeting, sixteen yards being sufficient
to make a good-sized one, to be spread
on the wagon bottom when buckwheat,
oats. or wheat which is too ripe, are
being drawn in. The saving of shelled
grain, which would otherwise be lost, is
not inconsiderable. 1t serves another
purpose also, as it may be spread over
an unfinished stack during a sudden
storm, or over a load of grain in bags
in the field or on the way to town.
Economy in the kitchen ought to be
the first principle in Housekeeping. The
wife who is o stuck up to look after
the eating department., little knows how
many dollars she can save out of her
housekeeping money for herself. When
l see Ethel with new gloves and shoes,
without asking me to plunge my hand
in my pocket, I know that she, being
housekeeper. has been ION the save"
Where did you get the gloves, EthelP"
"Nipped the money out of the house,"
l get for a reply. Consequently I call
this nip" money. Any sensible, care
full woman can ''nip' and yet provide
wel.-Waverley Magazine.
