A "Home"-ly Accomplishment.

One of the most womanly ac-
complishments in the time OF our
grandmothers was the art of mend
ing neatly everything knit or wo-
ven; and it is an accomplishment
which deserves renewed life at the
hands of the cultured young ladies
of the present generation. What
will one think of the young lady
who sits down to fancy work
knowing very we'll that she has
about half a bushel hosiery up
stairs which ought to be mended?
Or of the girl who puts on fine
dress over soiled or torn under
ware? She is on the level of the
untaught, ignorant creature who
mends her dress by tying the cor
ners of a rent together in a hard
knot; indeed, the latter is at least
honest in showing her work
openly, while the former seeks to
cover her shortcomings with fine
outer apparel. Always look ont
for a girl of that kind. She will
never keep neat or happy home.
The sloven is never possessed Of
a high moral character. She is
too selfish and indolent to exert
herself enough to get ''braced up
very strong morally. (Of course,
we make no reference 10 that over
burdened class of women who,
struggle against i'll health and
thousand duties always Juggling
at her skirts, still try to do the
best they can, and after giving
their children all the mother care
that they need, still manage to
keep pretty middling neat. !"
When stocking gets out at the
heel, the careless girl throws it
aside and buys new but the
mother who permits it is more to
blame than she. In the same way
other garments which have years
Of wear in them are tossed aside
as soon as they need repairing

Gleanings.

Owners Of small farms who can
not afford expensive rollers and
pulverizers for crushing clods may
make a cheap and useful imple-
ment by taking three or four slabs
according to their size), five feet
long, and placing them parallel
two or three inches apart, with the
convex sides down, and then Sc
curing them together by mailing
strips of planks across the ends
with large nails. Nail old horse
shoes foot from each end for use.
When the ground is dry enough,
ii will grind and mellow the soil,
and in connection with suitable
harrows, will reduce it to fine pull
.verization. A small piece of scant-
ling nailed at the rear edge, parai-
lei with the slabs, Will make a
small stone boat of it, for drawing
off any stones encountered in the
work it is performing.
Every good farmer viii see to it
that all of the farm implements
are not only well housed but that
they are all put in their proper
places, so that they can be easily
found when wanted. The i'm
proved farm implements require
SO much room to house them that
it is quite costly to build buildings
enough to have them all arranged
so that any one can be easily got
az when wanted; some OF the
larger machines that are used
only in the summer may be taken
apart 50 they can be packed away
in manner TO greatly economic
room. When machines are taken
apart before being packed away,
both the IRON and woodwork
should be well cleaned, and the
latter should be well cleaned. and

pruning refer to the removal
of ripened wood it may be done

bud indicates that new leaves are
about to be produced. 1t is not
advisable to prune in severe winter
weather, as at that time the wood
may crack and make bad wound.
Besides, that is a time when it IS
uncomfortable to do the work.
The outfit for one who would

is: sharp pruning-knife, a pair Of

prefer a broad, stout chisel to a

handles of various lengths can be
inserted. The cllisel IS placed at
the under side Of the branch to
be removed, and the end Of the
handle is struck upwards with a
heavy mallet. Al large wounds
