The need of boards of health to break up
the dense Ignorance of the most elementary
laws of hygiene that prevails in villages and
rural communities is again shown by the ty-
phoid fever epidemic at Waterford, Wis. The
Huneing family lived opposite the Catholic
parochial school, In their yard was a well
with the wooden pump 30 familiar about farm
houses, and here all the school children were
accustomed to drink son OF the Huneings
came home from Milwaukee sick with typhoid
fever, and the utensils used in his care were
rinsed under the family pump On July 9TH
with the thermometer at 1852 in the shade,
every child in the school drank from the con-
taminated we'll. The epidemic resulted of
course, and it will hang on the longer because
the Fox river is damned at Waterford, food
ing hundreds of acres, the surface of the wa
ter being covered with slime and moss that
tend to make the locality generally unhealthy.
This Is an extreme instance of widespread
ignorance. Hundreds and thousands of New
England farm houses show sink drains and
wells that are a standing invitation to diph-
liberia and typhoid fever, and everybody in
the neighborhood takes it as a matter of
course. When you get to smaller settlements
than busting villages, except perhaps in
places that live off from the summer boarder,
there is absolutely no power of intelligent
public opinion on the subject. An intelligent
minority keep their surroundings healthful,
but if they attempt to extend that rule out
side their own door-ysrds, they very soon
learn the propriety of minding their own BUSH
ness. In such communities scarlet fever,
diphtheria, and even chicken pox, )" are reck-
oned regular children's diseRses-a feature of
the spring season-and when they get into
the district schools, children of the clean and
the unclean alike suffer. The propensity OF
the squalid part of city population toward
filth is checked by the public authorities, and
it is high time that some rule was established
over the same class in the country, where
they form large proportion of the inhabi
tants, and where people who are wide enough
awake on other subjects are strangely blind

An Ashton, OAK, woman last year raised
800 bushels of wheat and 400 bushels of oats
on her farm, and she did all the work her
self.
1t is said that buttermilk mixed with fine
sand and applied to new woodwork outside,
will stand for many years. and give a good
imitation of stone and with it absolute pres
ervation of timber.
Since it is well known that impure water
produces fevers, dysentery and other fatal
diseases in mankind, it is fair inference that
bad water is not good for farm animals to
drink, especially for dairy COWS. Bad water
will make bad and unwholesome milk
The Dairy World says that 1.-THE farmer
who keeps milch cows can we'll afford to give
them the best that the farm affords. II his
milk goes to the cheese factory, 1t will weigh
enough more to pay him and if it is made
into butter, the higher quality of the article
will surely bring sufficient consideration"
The first need of the raspberry is a we'll
drained, but not very dry, light soil. Yet
such is its adaptRbility that certain varieties
can be grown on any land which will produce
a burdock or a mullen stalk. In fact, this
questioned variety determines our chances
of success, and the nature of our treatment
of the fruit.
No farmer should cultivate more land than
ne Chu VIGIL htteuu 10. lneT6 Is nOtllnR
gained by distributing the labor and manure
Everything in the way OF thorough clutiva-
ton should be removed, and every yard of
distance saved in travelling over the ground
to grow crop, by concentrating the labor,
lessons the cost.
II the farmer always sold we'll he would
make more money than most merchants, be-
cause he has ''all there is in it," while they
only sell on margin. 1t is pitiful to see a
man work hard all the year to grow a crop,
then lose five to ten cents on the bushel or
two cents on the pound for lack of att sntion
to the important art of selling.
1t is stated that if an outside leaf of cab
bage plant which is infested with green
w.rms is broken off and placed fiat over the
top Of such plant in the afternoon nearly all
the worms in the cabbage will be found next
morning congregated on this leaf, and can
easily be removed and destroyed. A valua-
BILE remedy If true.
1t has been proved that eggs will keep in
fair condition two or three months, simply
packed in salt, or in dry sifted coal ashes.
The common method of keeping in lime wa
ter is probably as good as any. The formula
is two pounds Of lime, one pint of salt and
four gallons of water. Stake the lime in hot
water. Put in only fresh eggs, and keep
them covered with the liquid. Eggs thus
packed and placed in cold storage, where the
temperature is between 800 and 400, will
| probably come out in edible condition six
months later; but they will not be fresh
eggs and 1t will be prudent to make use of
them soon after they are taken from the

How 90 Cool q cellar

A great mistake is sometimes made in ven-
tilating cellars and milk houses The object
of ventilation is to keep the cellars cool and
dry, but this object often fails of being &C.
complished by a common mistake, and in
stead the cellar is made both warm and damp.
A cool place should never be ventilated, un.
less the air admitted is cooler than the air
within, or Is at least as cool as that, or a very
little warmer. The warmer the air. the more
this moisture is condensed and precipitated
When a cool cellar ls aired on q warm day,
the entering air being in motion appears cool,
but as it fills the cellar the cooler air with
which it becomes mixed chills it, the moisture
is condensed and dew is deposited on the
cold walls, and may often be seen running
down them in streams. Then the cellar ia
damp, and soon becomes mouldy. To avoid
this, the windows should only be opened al
night, and late-the last thing before retiring.
There is no need to fear that the night air is
unhealthful-it is as pure as the air at mid
day, and is really drier. The cool air enters
the apartment during the night, and circu.
lstes through it. The windows should be
closed before sunrise in the morning, and
kept close and shaded through the day II
the air Of the cellar is damp, it may be thor
oughly dried by placing in it peck of fresh
lime in an open box. A peck of lime will alb
sorb about seven pounds or more than three
quarts of water, and in this way a cellar oil
milk room may soon be dried, even in the
hottest weather. Scientific American.

The vital statistics Of the state OF Maine
show that there Is larger percentage OF in
sanity in the farming class than In any other,
and the publication Of this fact has excited
general surprise. The popular presumption
is that farming life, through its freedom
from daily excitement and mental stress, its
outdoor life that favors vigorous bodily ex-
ercise, keen appetite, and sound digestion,
ought 10 contribute a smaller per cent. of in
sane persons than city life, that includes so
many restless brain workers OF all sorts.
The truth is, as Vermont writer has said,
that the average farmer OF New England in
the small towns, and also the farmers wife
and daughters, are not seldom as grievously
overworked and as much subject to personal
anxiety and nervous stress as the active work
era Of city life To take New England farm
and make II pay, means toll, early and late.
Physically, the farmer, and especially the
farmers wife, are often severely overworked,
to the extent of broken-down nervous sys
tenn. The food Of the farmer Is no better,
not always as heslthful, as the food Of me-
chanical city workers; and the fatigue, ex-
posture, anxiety and overwork OF the average
farmer are more than are ordinarily encoun-
tered by the city worker of the same ntelli.
gence. Give a farmer time TO stop from his
toll, and he is not without means OF diversion
for his tired body and mind. He can fish, he
can hunt he can boat and sail, II he can find
time. But few farmers do find time and il
they drop under their load II Is because, all
things considered, they carry more Calling
burden of bodily toll and mental anxiety than
they are accredited with by those philoso.
piers in the city who view the farm and
farm-life through glass Of champagne. II
anybody doubts that farmers have to work
hard to get ahead, let him look at the num-
Der of broken down, dyspeptic farmers wives,
barely turned forty, that you can see at state
and county fairs The farmer cannot hide
his land or his stock, it is inevitably taxed
And II is a smart, industrious, sober, energet-
ic farmer that can make his farm pay six per
cent. in New England. Hundreds of sturdy
farmers in Vermont make less than this off
their farms and too many Of them are tor
tured TO death by the effort to pay for farm
they have bought with mortgage attached.
II it be true that the farming class contrib.
utes largely to the insane, it is not because
they are brooders over the little, mean, local
woes Of life. 1t is because, as class, they
work very hard, both men and women be-
cause they have to carry more an1ieties and
troubles, with less time for relaxation, than
the city worker of the same grade Of intelli.

Love in a Garden.

The potato went out on q mash,
And sought an onion-bed;
''That's pie for me !" observed the aquasl
Aud all the beets turned red;
go way" the onion, weeping, cried;
Your love / cannot be;
The pumpkin is your lawful bride,
You cantelope with me-"
But onward still the tuber came,
Aud lay down at her feet.
"You caulifower by any name
And II will smell as wheat;
And |, too, am an early rose,
And You I've come to see:
So don't turnup your lovely nose,
But spinachat with me-"
81 do not carrot all to wed:
So go, sir, If you please"
The modest onion meekly said,
And lettuce, pray, have peas
Go, think that you have never seen
Myself, or smelled my sigh;
Too long maiden l have been
For favor in your eye"
"Ah, spare a cussl" the tuber prayed,
my cherryshed bride you'll be
You are the only weeping maid
That's currant now with met
And, as the willy tuber spoke,
He caught her by surprise,
And, giving her an artichoke,
Devoured her with his eyes.

Last Friday night large aud
ience assembled in the Chapel of
the Freedmen'S Normal building to
witness the closing exercises of the
Institute for the year which has
Just closed. A we'll selected pro-
gram had been prepared consisting
of songs, declamations, essays, dia-
logues and orations. The periOr-
mances were all short and well
prepared, which gave a ring and
spice to the evenings entertain
ment. There were many f1attering
features in the exercises; among
the most prominent was the excel.
lence of the music.
The entire performance reflected
credit upon the participants and the
management of the school. At the
close of the exercises diplomas
were presented to large gradual.

chosen remarks were given the
