paper bottles, which are already quite

flowers, to care for them and pet them.
For many of the dear creatures the
pleasures derived from modest
fOwer-bed, or a few plants in the
kitchen window, are about the only
bright spots in the dreary monotony
and drudgery of everyday life. Some
times woman who has no flowers to
pet and care for will take fancy to
the flowers in the sitting-room carpet,
and trying to preserve these In all
their freshness, keep the window
blinds closed and the jolly sun-rays
shut out. Drudging along in the stuffy
atmosphere of such a house is it a
wonder that the roses fade out of her
cheeks?
Let every husband farmer, II he lays
any claim to being good man and a
Christian, encourage his wife and
daughters TO cultivate flowers. 1t must
be mighty mean man who will hest
tate to spend few cents for flower
seeds, some plants or garden tools,
such as are especially designed for
female hands, or who grumblingly and
growlingly hands out the money, thus
discouraging the hard-working wife
to ever ask money again for similar
purposes.
For the sake of your wife's health,
welfare and comfort, give every in
ducement possible to make her come
out of the stagnant atmosphere of tho
house, and to battle as much as posi-
BILE in the health-giving sunlight. A
fiower-bed out doors will do this as
quickly and certainly as any thing.
No matter how busy you may be,
assist her in fixing a suitable bed or
mound. Draw a load of rich soil,
sand, compost-whatever is needed.
Even this is not all yet. Woman's
nature also yarns for appreciation and
admiration. Don't pass the lovely
flowers (Which she pets) day after day
without bestowing so much as glance
at them. When you see her ''fussing"
with them, stop and speak a few words
Of the beauty of the flowers. If you
are net interested in them. having no
eye or love for what is beautiful in
nature, at least appreciate what great
good they are doing to your wife and
daughters. They are making the sal
low cheeks glow again in health and
joy. To see you cast admiring glances
at her pets will complete the good
woman's happiness, and you yourself
can not help to be the gamer in the
transaction in many ways.-Joseph, in
Farm and Fircside.

A Most Emphatic Refusal.

A fast young man decided to make
10 a young lady formal offer of his
hand and heart-all he was WORTH
hoping for a cordial reception. He
cautiously prefaced his declarations
with few questions, for he had no in-
tcntion of ssthrowing himself away"
Did she love him well enough to live in
a cottage with himP Was she good
cook2 Did she think it a wife's duty
to make home happy? Would she
consult his tastes and wishes concern
ing her associates and pursuits in life?
Was she economical Could she make
her own clothes, etc? The young lady
said that before she answered his ques-
tions she would assure him of some
negative virtues she possessed. She
never drank, smoked or chewed; never
owed a bill to her laundress or tailor;
never stayed out all night playing bill
liards; never lounged on the street
corners and ogled giddy girls; never
..stood i'm with the boys for cigars and
wine suppers. '.Now. said she, rising
Indignantly, Il am assured, by those
who know, that you do all these things,
and it is rather absurd for you to ex-
pect all the virtues in me, while you
do not possess any yourself. l can
never be your wife, and she bowed
him out and left him on the cold door
step, a madden il not wiser man.

HERE AND THERE.

In manipulating butter never allow
the hands to come in contact with it,
as their warmth melts and Injuries the

Make it rule to kill every white
butterfly seen in the cabbage patch, as
they are the parents of the cabbage
worm.
One cock with ten to fifteen hens,
one drake with six ducks and one
gobbler with flock of twenty hen
turkeys is the rule.
Corn cut before fully ripe win
make good seed corn. Some advocate
and follow the practice. Care must be
taken in curing it. If put in large
shocks while green there is danger of
the corn being injured by overheating.
Sweet potatoes and melons can
endure quite period of dry weather,
but no weeds should be allowed in the
hills, as they will rob the occupants OF
the rows of both food and moisture.
If part of the hen-yard is spaded
up and few handfuls of oats sprinkled
on the freshly-spaded ground, it will
make good scratching for the fowls,
besides furnishing them bite of green
food from the sprouting grain.
AS general rule scraping trees
does more harm than good. A good
wash, if properly applied, will destroy
the pests that may infest the trees and
the necessity for scraping be avoided.
The better quality of fruit is moro
difficult to raise than a lower grade,
yet, at the same time, it sells much
more readily and at better prices, so
that large profit can be secured.
For grazing alone blue grass is
one of the very best grasses that can
be grown on the farm. Once well
established it will withstand heavy
tramping and close cropping with less
damage than almost any other grass.
During the very warm days the
poultry-house demands attention. The
droppings should be removed at least
twice week, and the interior thor
order to prevent lice from taking pos
session. A few days only are neces-
sary for poultry-house to be overrun
with lice, as vermine multiply rapidly.
See that the fruit trees are not too
heavily loaded down, Often a valu-
able tree is ruined for want of little
care in this particular. A little work
in thinning out, a few supports set up
under the limbs, will often avoid I'M
necessary risks.
e. S. Golf, horticulturist of the
New York experiment station, found,
as the result of long series of tests,
that the productiveness of any strain
of potatoes can be materially increased
by the continued selection for seed of
tubers from the most productive hills.
The Dairy World says that an
Illinois genius has invented travelling
milk separator, that he sets up in a

farmer, and puts the milk through,
leaving the sweet skim-milk on the
farm, and goes on his way rejoicing
with the cream to the butter factory.
"A young colt should not be worked

II the usual interval has elapsed
since the last previous blowing, the
field is clean of grass and no rain has
fallen, it is doubtful if any benefit to
the crop will result from blowing it at
this season. Certainly not more than
one wide furrow to the middle should
be given.
Topping of cotton has never been re-
duced to any we'll defined rules. Some
times it pays when the plants are large
and vigorous and already loaded with
more forms than can be developed
into fruit. The operation is gen.
orally performed too late in the
season to accomplish any re-
suits. Every one has noticed that
stalks that have been topped by the
bite of mule during the middle stage
of growth-much earlier than the usual
time of topping-appear to have been
greatly benefited. The effect OF re-
moving the bud of the main stem is to
somewhat arrest the further growth of
the plant and divert its energies to the
development Of the forms already set
and the young hollis.
Observation seems to confirm the
suggestion that the operation is most
likely to do good when performed
from the middle to the last of July,

plant. Southern Calticator.
