The vaults on most farms are disgraceful
affairs. They are direct sources of disease in
summer, and hardly more friendly to health
in winter. The SNOW drifts into them and
the wind blows through them To compel
women and children to resort to such places
is downright cruelty. 1t seems strange that
farmers who desire to improve their homes
reach the closet last of all. They will build
wood sheds and other conveniences, and still
retain that cold, windy closet, with its death
dealing vault. In my new house the closet
is Just at the end of the wood house There
is no vault at all. Two large iron buckets
are placed under the seats on a shelf These
are partly filed with sand or road dust. A
barrel of dust stands in "A corner Of the closet,
a tin dipper is kept in the barrel and a dip
perful of the dust is thrown into the buckets
whenever the closet is used This rule is
rigidlv enforced. There is not the slightest
odor from this closet. Once every two weeks
the buckets are emptied, and this operation
is as clean As that Of emptying ashes. There
is no trampiug out into the cold and storm
Come, farmers, wake up this fall and put an
end to these disease breeding vaults. Clean
them out for GOOD and then fill them up

manuriLg. enough wheat for home supply
can be raised. First a. TO varieties. We
must discard the handsome but tender white
wheats, anu take those Of the Mediterranean
type-red, bearded kinds, which seem Mt
home in warm climates. The good housewife
will have to yield little on the score OF white
flour; it will bs none the less nutritious or
palatable. In the next place, the highest and
dryest knobs and knobs should be selected.
No matter il poor; make up for that by
manure There very little land rich enough
to bring wheat without manure anyway. II
it has been sown In peas, so much the better
there is no better crop to precede wheat than
peas, unless it be clover. Turn the pea vines
under not very deep, and then harrow the
land several times Get the finest filth you
can. If cotton seed is to be used, and there
is nothing better, they can he spread on the
land before it is turned, but it will not do to
turn them under deeply. II commercial fer
tilizers or GOTTEN seed meal are used, they can
be narrowed instead Of being plowed in.
After the seed is sown, roll the land; this will
cause the seed to come up better and more
uniformly. Wheat may be sown from the
goth of October to the LIST Of December, &c
cording TO latitude. The tendency Of late
years has been to SOW too late.-Southern

Saving Sce,l Corn.

Quite an item during autumn is saving
seed corn for the next year Some careful
farmers walk through their corn fields and
break Off the finest looking ears, and, turn
ing back the husks, braid them together
closely, and hang them up over head or
against the wall in the warm kitchen to dry
out. When little corn is planted and not
much seed required, this is very good way
but where thirty or forty acres are planted
1t would not Ire practicable. Some who hnsk
their corn select the finest ears as they go,
and throw them in pile by themselves, and
as the pile accumulates it is spread oct III
some convenient place, like the floor OF a
chamber, where a stovepipe goes through
into chimney When spread thinly in such
place, about the right amount of heat
secured to dry it out well. 1t is theory that
il the pith, that is, the center OF the cob
freezes, the corn will not terminate
The experiment was tried once of braidine
UP a quantity Of corn and hanging 1t over
head in q stone smoke house, and building q
fire in the smoke house every day for time
The experiment was never tried but once
The corn did not grow well 1t Is said that
the Indians prepare their corn in this way,
and that mice never touch it after it has been
smoked Anything that gives heat enough
TO evaporate the moisture and dry out the
corn answers the purpose Corn has been
taken from the crib and used for seed, and
has grown, but it is not safe to.trust to that
easy way of doing business, as 1t often makes
the trouble of replanting necessaTy.-A. B.

What Killed Maria.

While talking once with lady who had
passed her four score years she said:
"As look back over my life there is one
thing that fills me with deep regret, that is,
never had the pleasure with my family that
should was always busy; my days were
spent in sewing and Homework, and my even,
ings in piecing quilts and making rugs and
rag carpets. never realized, until too late,
how much the companionship Of mother is
worth to her children. No sacrifice that
could make would be considered too great
could only have the privilege now, as had
then, of gathering them around me in pleas
ant companionship."
While living in England once attended a
funeral at private house ina country neigh
borhood. arrived early, and the only occ,l-
pants of the room were two women, who were
strangers to me. This Is the whispered con-
versation heard about the deceased:
YES" said one, Maria was master house
keeper. | never so much as seen speck Of
dirt about this house in my life"
WELL" replied the other, there ought not
to be, for she was eternally a-cleanng. She
never took no comfort In anything; no, and
