LEARNING HoUSE-WoRK.

Advantages Derived by Girls from Serving
an Apprenticeship In the Kitchen.
If mothers educated their daughters
to think more honorably of house-work,
we would not have SO many inefficient
house-keepers, but if the mother is eflic-
lent in the control of her home, she had
rather do the whole than have the
trouble of teaching her daughters, for
getting that this is an injustice to them as
well as to herself, and she can no more
neglect this part of their education than
she can neglect their education from
books; and they should be taught TO
understand that TO be an adept in the
art of sewing, plain or otherwise, is as
great an accomplishment as music and
painting; not that 1 undcrrate these lat
Ter accomplishments, but consider the
former as equal to them, and ii seems
strange TO mo that mothers are so blind
to this most essential part of their
daughters education.
When we contemplate the many I'M
happy homes made so by the incapacity
of their mistresses, our best instincts
convince us that the training of our
girls is absolutely wrong. once heard
farmers daughter say to her mother
the week before she was married, ~
have never made loaf of bread OF
cake, and she was twenty-three at that
time and her intended was a farmer,
and the mother was well assured that
the daughter would have to be her own
housekceper.
But even in the case of dividing the
care of the household with servants the
discipline is better when the lady has a
practical knowledge of how things
should be done, and the length of time
required in the performance of certain
duties. If she has knowledge of these
facts she will be more kind and pa
tient mistress.
While l believe that our girls should
bo proficient in every department Of
learning, think also that they should
be taught the Importance Of serving an
apprenticeship In the kitchen at tue
same time.-FrdoticqI Farmer,

HAY BARRACKS,
The Importance of Having Some Kind
of Protection for the Hay Crop.

The Importance OF Having Some KIND
of Protection for the Hay Crop.
Clover is hard to keep in stack. On
well regulated farms there is but little
tame hay but what is more or less
mixed with clover. When clover is
once fairly established on the farm it is
difficult to keep meadows clear of it,
even if one wanted to. Timothy meadow
will produce more timothy hay to have
one-thrd of the crop clover. The latter
keeps the soil loose, mellow and damp,
and the timothy makes heavier crop.
If therefore the hay be one-third clover
it is almost impossible to stack it so it
will keep successfully. But hay which
is thoroughly cured and kept safely
is far better for any class of animals, if
it be at least one-third clover. 1t is
therefore highly important that farmers
should have some kind of protection
for their hay. A good barn is the best
for such n purpose. But that is costly.
Sheds or barracks can be made cheaply.
One twenty feet square and twenty feet
high, with movable roof, will do very
well without boarded sides. Such a
barrack will hold twenty tons of hay,
and with horse fork can be easily
filled twenty feet high.
The cost of hay barrack of this kind
will be paid for the first year in the bet
ter keeping of twenty tons of hay. The
roof should be made as light as possible,
so that it can be raised and lowered, as
it is filed or empticd. 1t should be light
enough so that one man can raise or
at ut
veniencc. Without this it will have to
be boarded up, as the rain or snow
would blow under the roof. But if the
roof is raised as it is filled, in haying a
load can be put in at any time, as it is
in barn, and then it is safe.
And when hay is part clover, as it al
ways should be, great care and good
judgment have TO be exercised to have
the hay cured Just right, and when it is
right, it should go Immediately to the
barn or shed, rs mixed hay can not be
saved successfully in cock in rain So
it is all important to have a place
where hay can be stored just as soon as
it is ready Nearly half of all hay cut,
when it is stacked is spoiled. Where
clover is, the water will run init will
spoil in for some inches all over the
stack, and considerable of layer at
the bottom is worthless. And when q
stack is opened in winter or summer to
feed, it is at the mercy of the weathe.
which is always of the worst character
at the wrong time.
Or, if you do not like the barracks,
make sheds with stationary roofs. They
can be twenty feet wide and as long as
desired. 1t should be sloped all one
way, and if covered with boards made
pretty steep. IL is best to have the
highest side face the east, as the heavy,
dashing showers seldom come from that
direction. If the hay settles after put
in, it would be better to put on boards
extending from the roof down to the
hay, to protect it.-DeS MoineS (Ia.)
