Baby's Sleep.

Sleep for the child is even more of
vital need than for an adult, and its
sleep will be more natural and healthier
if it is not rocked. If accustomed from
the first to be laid away in a quiet,
darkened but well-veptilated room at a
certain hour the baby will form the
habit of falling asleep, and will never
know any other. A light should not
be left burning at night; it vitiates the
atmosphere, and sleep is not as sound
as in the dark. a child accustomed to
going to sleep on the bed will not read
slip out of them, and when put down
upon its bed will draw sigh of relief
and drop to sleep at once. A child will
have more profound and healthful
repose if not nursed to sleep. Let its
time for eating come when it awakes.
For the first few weeks animal heat is
best maintained by sleeping with the
mother, but on no account should
child of any age sleep between two
persons, as by so doing it must of
necessity breathe the emanations from
their bodies. Walking with the child,
soothing syrups, teas and cordials are
all bad methods of promoting sleep.
If care of the skin, attention to diet,
ventilation, dress and all sanitary laws
will not provoke sleep the case should
be committed to an intelligent physi-
clan. The habit of breathing through
the nose during sleep should be formed
by care in pressing the lips together
whenever they fall apart. The Indian
women are wise enough to do this.
By this means cold and congestion of
the lungs may be avoided and the
dangers from contagious diseases les

Facts for Farmers.

For the benefit of those who claim
that farming does not pay in Vermont
| will give few facts which have re-
Gently come to my notice. Uriah Co.
burn of Vershire has a hill farm of
warm, early soil and carries it on mostly
with but one hired man. For the last
two or three years he has made onions
special crop and sells readily all he
raises at dollar a bushel. Five hun
dred bushels is the largest crop he has
raised in one year. He grows enough
of other crops for his own use, and also
has cattle and sheep. OF maple sugar
he made this year | $50 pounds. His
sugar has the reputation of being first
class, and he has no trouble in finding
a market at good prices. He put in a
few beans to fill out, and the past sea-
son sold eighteen bushels of beans, al
most at the door, at two dollars a
bushel. Mr.. Worthley, a farmer in
Corinth, made this year 1900 pounds
of sugar and sold it for from thirteen
to sixteen cents per pound. 1t was
made with great care and all the best
utensils, ETC., and was almost as white
as granulated sugar. S.

Fuchsias.

One of my favorite flowers is the
fuchsia, of which l have at present
eight varieties. l think them nice and
have grown several varieties in the
same pot. have not less than half
dozen growing that way in the half of
a large paint-keg, the different colors
of blossoms mingling in graceful pro-
fusion, but if a specimen plant is wanted
or one has room to grow each separately
they are lovely grown in the form of
tree. Take young plant and when it
has grown few inches tall nip off the
top and let it start side branches.
When these are well started nip each
one, and keep doing so till you have
nice bushy top. This is for the benefit
of those who can keep one over winter,
for you will not get any blossoms the
first season. l had one such last sum-
mer, which was a perfect tree, loaded
with lovely double white blossoms. 1t
was the admiration of all beholders.
After fuchsias are a year old they can
be wintered in the cellar. Every year
think l will let them stay there till
can put them out of doors with safety,
but every year | bring them up in Feb
ruary. They are trying to grow so per-
sistently and sometimes are so loaded
with buds that can not endure it, and
up they come. / have one now in
blossom that formed its buds in the
cellar. If the cellar was dark | pre-
sumo they would not start so early, and
it would be safe to let them remain
there as long as they continued DOR
mant. The hest time to bring them up
is about the time that trees out of doors
begin to leave out, and they will then
go right to growing buds and blossoms
and be ever so much nicer than if they
had been kept growing all winter
have quite lot of rooted slips of that
one which was so lovely last summer
and also several other kinds, and would
be glad to exchange cuttings (rooted
ones as far as they go) for any kind
which have not, particularly for sun
rey, canary bird, speciosa, or one with
a very dark or single white corolla.
l did not suppose there were any
single whites-at least l have seen it
so stated-but find one catalogued in
list published three years ago. l
have two with red sepols and double
white corolla, two red sepols and
double purple corolla, one with white
sepols and single purple corolla, chang
ing to crimson, and two that call all
red fuchsias, though they are very diff
ferent. One is an old kind, with very
large foliage, the other one of the newer,
bell-shaped blossoms. Last years friend

by the name that it was very dark, but

The Beauties of q Boom"

The advantages of boom are
shown in the following list of prices
obtained for Jersey cattle at auction
at the horse exchange sales. The Jer-
sey cattle club offered silver cup for
the highest average made by any gentle
man for five animals of his own breed
ing, also another for the highest aver
age received for five animals sent to the
sale by any person, whether bred by
him or not. The Jersey stock is an
excellent breed for the dairy, and it
became the fashion and the rage.
Spectators took hold of it and prices
doomed" far above the legitimate
value of the stock till the break came,
when the holders of stock bought at
such high prices must have been
losers to an amount greater or less, ac-
cording TO the amount of stock held
and the prices paid. Another such
boom was had in Short-horns, which
reached its eliminating point at the
"New York Mills " sale, when a single
animal was sold for over $40 900. Such
booms are unhealthy and operate
against the best interests of any stock
or interest, because it is usually fol-
lowed by proportionate drop. Below
we give the prices received by different
persons for the cups mentioned for
several years:
1SS0-Contributors cup won by Thomas
HI. Faile of New York, average $685..
1SS1-Contributors cup won by John 1.
Holly of Plainfeld, N j., average S1,OS5.39,

ham of Saugatuck, Conn, average 50 400;
contributors cup won by j. V. n. Willis of
Marlboro, n. j., average S1,323.50.
1SS4-Breeders' cup won by A. B. OAR
ling, average S2621; contributors cup won
by Valancey f. Fuller of Hamilton, Ont,
average $3.50.
1SS5-Breeders' cup won by Valancey e.

The Sugar Product.

Here is what two Vermont sugar.
makers report in the american Guilt
uator of the yield here. One writes:
"Our best sugar-makers get all the
orders they can fill for syrup at 81 per
gallon can. Many have regular Gus
toners in cities here and throughout the
West. l have orders this year from
Boston, Worcester, Buffalo, Chicago,
Pennsylvania, Kansas and Minnesota.
With maple syrup as with butter, if
one wishes to retain the trade of regu-
lar customers he must send them only
a first-class article"
The other says: The average
made up to the present time, say
April, is estimated at three and one
half pounds per tree and the equiva-
lent in syrup. The latter weighs
about eleven pounds per full gal
lon. The larger share of the cakes
are made in brick shape, or in small
sizes, which sell readily at good prices.
1 have just received returns from a
Boston commission house, which sold
my sugar at fifteen to sixteen cents per
pound. 1t was made into small cakes.
Within the past week we have had a
remarkable "run of sap.' The quality
was very fine, as the weather was cool
and nice. No sugar in this vicinity is
adulterated or doctored in any way.
Tons upon tons of sugar and syrup
made in this vicinity have been sold by
first-class houses in Boston without a
word of complaint" There does not
seem to be any need of sugar ex-
change for these fellows.

But thought he was handsome, and said so with Joy
For mothers are funny, you know,

About their sons beauty, you know
His nose, one could see was not Grecian, but pug,
And turned up quite snug,
Like the nose of jug;
But she said it was plquant," and gave him hug
For mothers are funny, you know,
Quite
About their sons beauty you know.
His eyes were quite small and he blinked in the sun
But she said It was done
As mere piece of fun,
And gave expression of witto her son;
For mothers are funny, you know,
Quite so
About their sons beauty, you know.
The carroty love-locks that covered his head
She never called red,
But auburn instead
" The color the old masters painted" she said
For mothers are funny, you know,

Plants i'm Tubs.

If you want something for the yard
or piazza that is ornamental and easily
taken care of in shape of plants pro-
cure an old cask or large barrel. Have
it sawed in two parts and cut down to
about the height of chair-seat. Paint
il some dull color, but don't have it
red, if you would suit my taste. Fill in
coarse bits of broken pots and stones
to the depth of six inches for drainage,
and have few holes bored in the bot
tom. Have them raised on bricks or
stones from the ground just enough to
prevent the entrance of worms. Then
fill up with good soil and set in your
plants. You will be surprised to find
how many can be grown in one. In
one of mine had last year three dwarf
geraniums, several petunias and pansies

+" Hens on a Strike"

Probably the milk had something to
do about it. We give it to our hens,
and think it is next to meat for them.
OF course they need little rest and
perhaps change of feed. Now the
chickens are coming much is said about
gapes. We have not lost one for years
that way. When first Matched we give
them fine cracker-crumbs soaked in
sweet milk, scalded meal, and if cold
add little black pepper mornings.
For drink we give sweet milk. We are
always careful to scald thoroughly and
never give it to them sour

A woMAN florist says: Z" If obliged to
confne myself to one class of plants
for window culture | would select the
Towering begonias. They bear dry
heat and occasional neglect as well as
any, and are not liable to the attacks of
insects, while the number and va
riety of species is large. Next to be-
gonias would place geraniums. Every
one knows how endless is the variety of
shades and forms of these beautiful flow
ers. There are the scented, the silver
leaved, the bronze, the ivy-leaved, the
tri-colored-a charming array. One
can have a gay window without any
flowers at all. The list of desirable
plants is almost endless. 1t comprises,
in addition to the commonly-called
greenhouse plants, many bulbs and not
few ANNALS"

BESIDES the direct manurial effect of
potash, which is so especially great in
some soils and crops, including the
fruits, it is useful in times of drouth by
its attraction for moisture. Whenever
any sort of potash salt is exposed to
free air it soon begins to liquefy, wet
ting and decomposing every organic ar
ticle around. In an address before the
American Horticultural Society Mr.. j.
M. Smith of Green Bay, Wisconsin,
told of his having dressed part of po-
tato field with ashes, at the rate of sixty
bushels per acre. The rest of the field
was dressed with compost. A severe
drouth came on. The compost part of
the field scarcely paid for digging, but
the ashed portion yielded fair crop.

It c6anceo two damsels,
wisely concluding on the
delights of Music in the
home, resolved-each with
purse equipped and merry
heart, an Organ good to
purchase. The one did read
the loud words of a vain
glorious maker who would
cen bestow his organs at cost
of the case alone = SO eX-
ceeding stood his wealth and
goodness. She was not 10th
to buy an Organ cheap, nor
was he 10th to sell a cheap
Organ. She truly bought
the Organ at the cost of the
case, for it was a case of
experience, and she was, as
it were, abundantly supplied.
Her friend was more exceed
ing wise. From Brattle-
boro, VT, she did an ESTEY
ORGAN secure, than which
there is none finer. Straight
way there was Music in each
home - but the one was
the voice of a complaining
woman and the other was
