Fun at Home,

There is nothing like it to be found
no, not if you search the world
through. I want every possible
amusement to keep the boys at home
evenings. Never mind if they do scat
ter books and pictures, coats, hats
and boots. Never mind if they do
make q noise around, with their whis.
tlingand hurrahing! We would stand
aghast if we could have a vision of the
young men going to utter destruction
for the very reason that, having cold,
disagreeable, dull, stiff tiresides at
home, they sought amusement else.
where. Don't let them wander beyond
the reach of a mothers influence yet
awhile. The time will come, before
you think, when you would give the
world to have your house tumbled by
the dear'hands OF those very boys;
when your hearts shall long for their
noisy steps in the hal, and their ruddy
cheeks laid up to yours; when you
would rather have their Jolly
whistle than the music Of all the
operas; when you gladly would have
dirty carpets-aye, live without car
pets at ALTO have their bright, strong
forms beside you once more. Then
play with and pet them. Praise
Johnny's drawing, Betty's music and
baby's first attempt at writing his
name. Encourage Tom to chop of
his stick OF wood, and Dick to per-
severe in making his hen-coop. If one
shows a talent for figures tell him he
is your mathematician; and ifanother
loves geography, tell him he will be
sure to make a great traveller or a
foreign minister. Become interested
in their pets, be they rabbits, pigeons
or dogs. Let them help you in home
decorations; send them to gather
MOSES, grasses and bright autumn
leaves to decorate their rooms when
the snow is all over the earth. And
you will keep yourselfyoung and fresh
by entering into their Joys, and keep
those joys innocent by your knowl,
edge of them.

One is forcibly reminded, in going
from place to place, how small and
seemingly trivial often are the things
which go to make or mar the comfort
and peace Of home. In some house
holds there is a genuine good will and
kindness which only works out half its
mission, for the reason that it does
not express itself in little c~ourtesies Of
speech and action. These are more
important than some of our busy men
and women may realize. The ready
"thank YOU" eff you please &C., at
table and elsewhere, the quiet excuse
me- when Obliged to pass directly be-
fore or inconveniently near another;
the loving ''good night, and CHEEKY
good morning, although little things,
are helps in making q happy home.
Courtesy is but the ready overflow oil
kindness and goodwill to all, and is
therefore but q natural expression
which costs nothing, but which often
cheers an aching heart, and which
never fails to make home brighter and
more attractive to old and young.

Shall We Eat All We Want.

If to "eat as much as one wants.
means gorging, or eatingfrom the mere
qualification of the palate, we do not
need to answer the question, "Can !
eat as much as l want?" From the
lips of a conscientious, reasonable be-
ing, who really longs for a little more,
but who has been from childhood fed
on the adages of Poor Richard" and
the likes, it would at least demand re-
spectful attention. He must think
and study out for himself this matter
OF quantity needed for his inner man.
Neither starving nor surfeiting cau he
indulge in with impunity. Let him
keep his mental powers healthy and
decided on these points. Awell-poised
mind will aid him in reconstructing
the body into n as nearly perfect as
is possible Good Housekeeping.

Size and shape of Cisterns.

]. w, Springfield, Mo:
Give the directions and proper size
and shape OF q cisternt that wouldhold
about $500 gallons Of water.
A cistern eight feet in depth and eight
feet in diameter will hold 5000 wine
gallons. A good cistern can be made
in a solid clay soil, if not in an expos
ed situation, by cementing against the
sides Of the ground. Where the ground
freezes we would not recommend such
a practice, but lay a wall of cobble-
stones In a mortar Of eement, andface
the wall with a thick coating of clear
mortar. Greatcare must be exercised
to get good cement, and mix it with
coarse sand. Fine sand will not do at
all. One part cement and three parts
sand is the usual proportion, to be
used as soon as mixed. Every part of
the wall must be laid below the reach
of the frost. This can be done, and an
IRON or wooden pipe or throat lead to
the surface, through which the pump
can pass. A cheap, and. excellent cis-
tern can reconstructed o wood, in the
form OF a large cask, or a tank made
of pine or cedar plank. When sunk
into the ground, and kept constantly
wet, it will last for years. A better
way is to place the tank or cask in one
corner of the cellar, with a faucet in
the bottom, from which the water is
easily drawn when it is desirable to
clean it out and when water is requir-
ed in the cellar. An open cistern in a
cellar will rarely freeze.

From the Drover's Journal.
A correspondent says: II wish here
to protest against the prevalent idea
that old meat is tough. Never was
there q greater fallacy. The age of
the animal has nothing to do with it;
and the fact is, the toughest andmost
tasteless meat is that of a 2-year-old
steer, kept tat from birth and then
shipped to market, where he will ar
rive In a shrinking condition. Onthe
contrary, the most tender, juicy, high
est-aavored meat is that of an old
animal, COW, or even a work steer
no matter how old-is fattened rapid
~ and killed when in q thriving con-
dition. All meat is more OF less
tough when the animal is losing flesh,
and the opposite-tender andiuicy-if
the animal is gaining rapidly; and, as
al your tChicago) meat iskilled when
the animal is losing flesh, you never
get any really good meat. The change
can be noticed in the meat before the
eye detects it in the animals condi-
ton"

A Growing southern City.

Birmingham, Ala, is q striking In
stance Of industrial development IN
the South. Coal and iron were known
to exist in that vicinity before the war
and during that struggle the Confeder.
ate Government worked the ores In Q
small way, but no attempt was made
to develop the mineral wealth OF n
district until 1878, when the Pratt
Coal and Iron Company began opera
tions. The next year the first IRON
furnace was started, and in 1880 q
population OF about 5000 had grown
up around the works. Since then
growth has been rapid, stimulated by
improved railroad communication
and the facilities for manufacturing
iron at prices defying either home or
foreign competition. In November,
1885, the population was 21,6OO, and
the property valuation is estimateda at
$11,OO0,O 600. The little city has gas
and electric lights, water works, tele-
phones, street cars, an elegant opera
house, thirty churches, two daily
papers and a rigid Sunday law, but
neither paved streets nor q big city
debt. Ten blast furnaces produce 500
tons of pig-iron daily, and five nor
are in the course OF construction. The
daily output of coal in the district is
about 1000 tons, with q possible in
definite extension. Indeed, the min
eral resources Of the region have harcs
ly yet been touched.

Corn for Green Fodder.

Corn, taking ali things into consider

How to- Grow CeIarY.

As soon as the ground is fit to work
in the spring SOW the seed on a rich,
level piece OF soil, thoroughly pulver-
lied and well mixed with fine stable
manure. Mark the bed out in rows
eight inches apart and SOW the seed
at the rate of about an ounce to every
twenty feet. Pat the bed down after
sowing, with q spade, or roll if you
have a roller. Keep the weeds out
from the very beginning. Cut off the
tops as the plants grow, say twice, be-
fore setting them out, which may be
done from the middle of June to the
middle OF August, July, perhaps, be-
ing the best time. Prepare the ground
we'll and set in rows three feet apart
and six inches apart in the row. Firm
the soil around the roots, especially
# the weather is dry at the time of
setting out. If everybody would learn
to press the soil firmly around all
plants when setting them, it would be
of great benefit. Six or seven weeks
after planting, the weeds being kept
down in the meantime, begin to earth
up. Draw the soil close up to the
plant with a hoe, and still closer
around the plant with the hand, leav-
ing it firm enough to keep the plant
from spreading. The soil must be
drawn up or thrown up with the noe,
plow, or spade, clear to the top of the
plant. This Is the blanching process.

FARM AND PRESIDE.
Farming Notes.

No house in the country can be call
ed a complete home without a garden
attached to it.-Pioughman.
Mr.. B. F. Johnson tells The Country
Gentleman that IllinOishasmore fruit
trees '1ifting their barren or dead
branches to the sky" than any other
state.
Sheep M is good for any crop,
and especially for potatoes and corn,
on account OF it's fine condition.
"Men sound in soul and limb cam ,
says Froude, ''be bred and reared only
in the exercise Of plough and spade, in
the free air and sunshine, with coun-
try enioyments and amusements; new
or amid foul drains, and smoke blacks,
and the eternal clank OF machinery"
MI. T. D. Curtis, of The Farmer and
Dairyman, is persuaded that if wehave
no constitutional right "to suppress
so monstrous a fraud as bogus but
ter" we would better substitute aeon
stitution that will give us the power,
by protecting honest men rather than
rasCals.
In Connecticut an applicant for ad-
mission to an agricultural course is
required to first have q knowledge

tions! And the pedants who have
made such rules have been allowed by
the Connecticut people to absorb
$l65, 600, for which they have gradu-
ated six agricultural students! How
long can that be suffered, if it be true;
but it seems incredible.
In reply the following from a recent
number of the Scientific American:
Asphalt, coal tar and sand make the
best floor. Melt the asphalt and coal
tar, equal parts in a large kettle.
Heat the sand on alarge iron pan, and
mix one part asphalt and tar to four
parts sand, hot and spread quickly.
The grass which grows on dry, rich
soil, with free sunlight warming it, is
much morenutritious than that grown
on land filled with stagnant water.
Stock will eat the former down to the
roots before touching the latter. 1t
is very common in fields where under
drains run, to see the line over the
tile made plainly visible byits closely
cropped heritage.

is, unfortunately too true, and it is not
less true that if We inquire about
the family fruit supply for country
tables we shall find this quite as de-
ficient, or even more so. There is no
necessity for this condition of things,
andit is opposed both to the physical
and financial interests of these fami-
lies. No part OF the farm can make
greater returns for the labor and 9th
er expenditures, than the vegetable
and the fruit garden. II we inquire in.
to the cause of their neglect we shall
find, in many cases, that their I'M
portance is measurably comprehended
and the want of them is felt, but the
labor and attention they require is
somewhat different from that of the
farm crops, and also, the garden inter
feres to some extent with the farm
work when it is not properly planned
and managed, as for the most part it
might be,so as to cause little or no in
convenience in the performance of the
regular work. And for this purpose we
now ask our country and village read
ers who are directly interested to give
the necessary thought for theprepara-
ton Of a good garden at this season
Of comparative rest. What shall the
garden consist of? How and when
shall it be prepared? Who shall have
the direct supervision of it? These
and other questions can be consider
ed and decided upon, and when the
time of action comes there need be no
delay.

Does a Woman Marrying a Minis
ter Marry His Whole Congrega-

A pretty good story is told OF a
young but gritty pastor of the First
Baptist Church at Pittsfeld, Mass,
bearing OK the old notion that when
a lady marries a minister she practi-
cally marries his whole congregation.
1t seems that q short time ago he
married vivacious young lady whose
family was or the Episcopal Church,
and this gave occasion to some Of the
tattlers Of the husbands church. But
the climax was reached q few weeks
later, when the young wife attended a
social given by the Business Mems
Association, and joined in the waltzes
and quadrilles, just like other ladies
present. Then the tongues of the gos
sips of the husbands congregation
wagged at double-quick; and, the facts
coming to his ears, the next Sunday
he shot a little gospel truth at the
gossips, saying, among other things,
the following:
my wife came to you in a position
involving no responsibility. She is
neither the property of the church nor
my property IN that sense, having
views r~eligiously, socially, and domes-
tically which are entirely her own.
She is not to be criticised by you.
She is accountable only to her God,
and the church is not her keeper.
She is not q co-worker with me as far
as church affairs go, and you have no
authority to gossip about her. St.
