Prenared for Breaks.

The man who has an open link at
hand is prepared for a break in a chain
When at work, when a chain is used at
some distance from the barn, it is well
to take some Of these links along. A
blacksmith will make a dozen, of differ
ent sizes, of good wrought steel, for a
slight sum. Have the ends bend slightly
inward, for the elasticity Of the metal
will prevent the parts being brought
quite together, and unless the ends are
bent inward they VIII stand open to catch
your clothing, etc. From piece of
buckskin or obtained leather, which
can be got at a leather store, strings can
be cut which are just the thing for
mending broken straps, for splicing
broken sticks, or even for connecting the
parts of broken chains, until better
mending can be done. 1t is well to have
one of these thongs tied to some part of
every set of harness. Straps are quicAly
and securely mended by splicing the
ends and Joining them with copper
rivets. These should have large heads,
and corresponding washers for the end
to be hammered down on. When an
inch or more long they are excellent for
holding in place splioed sticks. -Ameri-

The Size of Barnyards.

Most old-fashioned barnyards are far
too large. They were made when land
was cheap, and stable room was not pro-
portiOnate to the amount of stock kept
A good deal of the feeding was done out
of doors on the ground. hence the barn
yard had to be large, to get clean places
to throw the hay or other fodder on. 1t
was considered all the better if sur
rounded by a worm rail fence, in whose
corners the cattle could be fed with less
likelihood of their trampling over what
was thrown before them. + ew farmers
now think of keeping more stock than
they can stable. The feeding is also
mostly done indoors in managers or
boxes. If stock is let out it is only short
time in the middle of the day for exer-
else. 1t is then a great advantage to
have compact brrnyard we'll covered
with straw, SO that all the droppings
may be saved. And when cattle are de-
horned. or bred without horns, there will
be still less necessity than now for max
ing the barnyard large.-Amaerican CuL'

Rabbit Soup For Inyalids.

Cut the rabbit into pieces aud soak in
warm water for ten minutes, TO draw out
the blood. Put the pieces into a sauce
pan with a quart of white broth, or, if
YOU have not this milk and water. Sea
son with salt, and add a few sprigs of
parsley Let this simmer slowly until
the meat is very tender. Strain, pick
all the meat from the bones. and chop 1T
as fine as possible. Return 1t 10 the
soup. and set over the fire, adding a cup
of hot cream, and two tablespoonfuls Of
sifted bread crumbs. A nice change is
made by adding either rice, pearl barley,
or vermicelli. which must be cooked Sc
parately in boiling water or milk, and
added to the soup Just before serving.
Small slices of lightly buttered and we'll
Drowned toast should accompany it.
This is palatable as we'll as nourishing.-

FARM AND GARDEN.
Raising Potatoes.

If you VIII permit me l Will give you
nv method of raising Irish potatoes, says
a correspondent OF the H1me md Farm
First select a good spot of land of a sandy
nature, break and prepare like You would
Law out garden, lay off in rows about
81 feet apart and drop in drill eighteen
inches apart, two pieces in hill, same
having one eye each, cover sufficient to
keep the sun from damaging and then
scatter tobacco stalks and wheat straw
over the land sufficient to keep early
vegetation from coming, plant as early as
weather will permit, and when potatoes
are up eight or ten inches high, hill up
with pillow and pull stalks and straw
around the tops with hoe. This is all
you need do, and rest assured that in due
time you will be surprised at the yield
and size Of potatoes. The above plan
will also improve the flavor By plant
ing very early you can raise two crops
from the same seed in one year on the
same land if the season is favorable

Sweeping and busting.

Open your windows before sweeping
(if there is no wind to blow the dust
roundl; usually one or more can be
opened where there will be no breeze.
Dust your ornaments, a shelf at time,
and carry them by themselves to table
in another room. Do the same by all.
Also the books, keeping each lot separate
to avoid confusion in replacing. Take
your draperies down, if easy to unlock
them; if not, tie them up and have them
taken to a back yard and shaken and
neatly folded. Wipe off your pictures,
and either turn face to the wall or cover
them with old newspapers. Dust care
fully each piece of furniture and take
them into the other rooms; then shut
your door, and after bru hing the dirt off
the window lodges out into the yard,
and brushing off the mop-boards, sweep;
take a very slightly damped broom,
beaten ill the drops are Oft, and go
round the margins OF the room till clean,
sweeping with the broom in front of you,
and keeping the broom close to the floor.
Don't whisk the dust up into the air,
lodging it on the walls, to horrify you,
after YOU are all through, with a white
fog settled all over everything. Sweep
slowly Then when the margins are swept,
take a carpet-sweeper and go evenly and
regularly over the room mot in zig gag
way; and after the worst is taken up,
take your broom and go all over it care
fully, keeping the broom to the floor
closely as possible, and sweep regularly
toward some given point. and take up
the dirt on dust pan. When you walk
out of the room with that pan, remember
that light lint is lying loosely all over its
side, and quick walk will brush it off.
Better put the pan into paper, and then
carry your dust to an ash barrel. Do
not burn it. The odor of burning dust
is very disagreeable and unhealthy. If
a light dust settles after this sweeping,
take slightly moist cloth and wipe the
carpet over. Dust the windows and
baseboards and door panels with a cloth
never with a feather buster, except
where it is too high to reach.
Replace your ornaments and already
busted furniture, and your hands will
have nothing further to do. That room,
we'll guarded from carelessness, will stay
clean a fortnight at least. Newspapers
thrown over busted tables will protect
room enough for ordinary daily brushing
up with a carpet sweeper. Yankee Blade.
