HINTS ON VENTILATION.
Several Methods of Securing Good Air IL
Sleeping Rooms.

Several Methods of Securing Good Air la
Sleeping Rooms.
In ventilating-say IA bed-room-by
means OF the window, what you prin
cipally want is an upwnrd-blowing
current. Well, there arc several
methods Of securing this without
danger of draught:
!. Holes may be bored In the lower
part Of the upper sash Of the window,
admitting the outside air.
2. Right across the foot OF the lower
sash, but attached TO the immOvablc
frame Of the window, may be hung or
tackled IA piece Of strong Willcsdcn
paper -prcttily painted with flowers
and birds il you please. The window
may then bc raised TO the extent Of the
breadth Of the paper, and the air
rushcs upward between the two
sashcs.
3. The same effect Is got from simply
having "a board six inches wide and the
exact size Of tho sash's breadth. Use
this 90 hold the window up.
4. This same board may have two
bent or elbow tubes In IL, opening
upwards and into the room, 50
that the air coming through
does not blow directly in. The
inside openings may bo protected by
valves, and thus the amount OF incOm-
ing current can bc regulated. We thus
get "A circulating movement OF the air,
as, the window being raised, there IL
an opening between the sashes.
3. In tho summer "A frame half as
big as the lower sash may be made Of
perforated zinc or wire gauzc and
placed in so as 90 keep the window up.
There is no draught; and II kept IN
position all night, then, as n rule, tho
inmate will enjoy refreshing sleep.
6. In addition 90 these plans. tho
door Of every bed room should possess
at the top thereof a ycntilating panel,
the simplest Of all being that formed
Of wire gauzc.
In conclusion, let me again beg Of
you 90 value fresh air as you value life
and health itself; and, while taking
care not 90 sleep In AN appreciablo
draft, 20 abjurc curtains all round the
bed, 4 curtaiucd bed Is only stable
for Nightmares and "A hotel for a

BEST TIMES TO PLOW.
Rules Applicable tn Various Portions %
the United states.

the United states.
No general rulo can be given on this
matter that will be applicable TO all
parts OF the country and TO all kinds
OF land. 1t is generally agreed that
the proper time TO break prairie sod is
in the early part of the summer. The
roots of wild grass can bo cut the
easiest at that time and the sod rots
more quickly than II turned in the fall
or spring. Most frfmers of long eX-
perlence advocate fall breaking for
land that was seeded TO timothy and
clover and has produced n crop OF hay
for several years. They hold that
many OF the grass roots are dead and
that their decay will be hastcncd If
the sod Is inverted and the green grass
be mixed with them. BY turning such
sod in the fall IL will become warm
before planting time in the spring. II
the soil is largely composed of clay the
alternate freezing and thawing will
greatly benefit il. IL is best TO plow
such lands before heavy frosts occur
that will kin the grass. II the land is
10 be planted 20 corn IL will be neccs-
sary to pulvcrize the surface with II
harrow, but the soil which is few
inches below will be in n loose condi-
tiou on account OF the roots and foliage
OF grass which IL contains.
II the sod is tender, however, being
composed chiefly of the roots OF clover
and timothy, it will be best TO defer
plowiag till few days before planting
corn. A sod of this kind rots very
rapidly and the clover and grass, which
will be several inches high, will be OF
great value in producing crop of
corn Tho plowing must bc SO we'll
done as TO cover every stick and leaf
and thus insure their decay. It's bet
ter to plow hill-sidcs in the spring, as
washing during the winter Is prevent
cd. In the East, whore the farms are
generally small, the plowing can all bo
done at the time that experience shows
to be the best for insuring the largest
crop. In the West, however, most
farmers find that they must employ
most Of their time in plowing from tho
close OF the harvest till the season Of
planting, stopping only while the frost
renders work impossible. II thoy do
but little plowing in the fall they will
have but few acres TO plant and SOW,
as the springs are generally unfavora-
bic for working the Chicago

ELECTRIC ACUPUNCTURE.
4 Scientific Method of Perforating Painful
Tumors with Needles.

The Chinese, we are told, employed
acupuncturc at least 1000 years since,
and the japanese adopted il long ago.
Their practitioners employed pune
turing needles Of gold and silver, and
their manufacture was an art Of great
importance. They were OF different
shapes. Some bladcd like swords and
others OF the ordinary needle form.
At the end Of the eighteenth century
acupuncturc was introduced into Eu-
rope, and was developed in the present
century NJ. GaifTc, a French cleo
trician, has recently constructed "A vari-
city Of needles for electric acupuncturc,
specially applicable 20 the perforation
OF painful tumors, so as 60 avoid un-
necessary pain. BY the electric acu-
puncturc the current Is conveyed into
tho tumor and applied at the point
where il is most required 90 effect the
dissolution OF the morbid liquor con-
taincd in IL. For this purpose tho
blade is vanished, except at the point,
and thus insulated, 50 that the current
only escapes at the point. Glass or
india rubber has been used 90 coat tho
needle. but insulating varnish is pre-
fcrrcd, since IL does not thickcn tho
probe 50 much. The upper end Of the
needle Is connected 20 one pole Of tho
vOltaic battery used, and there is a
conductingplate applied 90 tho skin,
and connected % the other pole. When,
therefore, the needle is forcol into the
tumor the current flows from IS point
% the conducting-plate through tho
flesh, and dccompOscs any unhealthy
fluids there may be in its passage.
This process aids the absorption Of
these sccrctions and the destruction
Df the tumor -LOudDH TcicgraDh.

BARRELlNG APPLES.
Suggestions by tho President Of the On.
tario Fruit -GTowers' Association.

tario lruit-tToNers' As>otiailohs
Choose a solid place on the ground
and place a barrel upon solid piece
OF plank. Lay the first course Of APP
pies with the stem end down. Tho
packer should not take special samples
for this course, but just take them rs
they come, and place them SO rs TO
mako a solid row on the bottom. Tho
next row also should be put down.
The barrel should be carefully shaken
down on that solid plank after each
baskctful. When the packer comes
10 the top of the barrel he evens them
of according 10 the variety. One
variety will press down closer than an
other, and that is where little judg-
ment and experience is required. a
man must know every variety he is
packing, in order TO know how many
20 put in the barrel; whether he will
fill il TO the chine, an inch above the
chine, or even further Then tho last
row has TO be placed so as TO be in an
oval position before you pat the press
on, with the stems up, SO that when
you put the press on they will press
down evenly and level, and aftorward
on opening the barrel You can not tell
at which end you commenced. That
is n barrel packed properly, and il will
carry and carry thoroughly. II the
apples before packing have been what
we call sweated-and the best place TO
sweat apples is on the ground-they
should il possible, remain on tho
ground for week after bcing
picked from the troe-thcy will
carry much better. or course
IN wet weather they are better taken
In 20 the barn floor or some other con-
venicnt place, but as rule they
should remain for week or ten days
after being picked; the skin toughcns
in that time. find quite n difference
in the Northern Spy, which has such n
tender skin, in places whore they are
left on the ground 20 toughcn and get
through this sweating process-they
will carry much better. Before pack
ing, the first thing to do is 90 mako up
your mind how many grades you arc
going TO have in the pile from which
you are packing. There will be two
grades at least, and the chances are
not more than three. For instance,
take n Baldwin grown on the inside OF
tree. that is apt 60 be rather green.
That will be one grade. An the me-
dium-sizcd applcs-havc them all the
one size as much as possible-and
pretty high colorcd, thai is another
grade. Grown at the top OF the tree
or on the outside limbs apples will bo
much smaller, but high in color. That
will be your third grade. A barrel OF
apples when opened should be all as
near Of the one size and color as IL is
possible TO have them, II you pack
your barrels in that way, and brand
them accordingly, the buyers in Brit
ain and elsewhere will soon get to
know that that brand represents well
selected, honcstly-packed apples, and
the result will be that they will pay q
fancy price for il. The price is not 50
much Of IA consideration with them as
it is TO get the very best articlc.-A.
