Farmers who live in a region where
fruit can be grown, should not fail to
make ample provision for a regular and
abundant supply through the entire
year, or as near to the yearly circle as
practicable. There is comparatively lit
tie difficulty in providing a regular sue
cession through summer and autumn, by
planting various small fruits and the
early-ripening apples, pears, peaches,
plums, and other kinds which will give
an uninterrupted succession from early
summer to winter; but more care is re-
quired to preserve without decay the
winter varieties which are to be retained
for months within doors, from the first of
December to the following June. Two
principal requirements are necessary; a
good fruit room, which may be a portion
of the house cellar, separated from the
rest of the cellar by a partition, SC as to
be kept perfectly sweet and pure by am
pie ventilation. The other requirement
consists of boxes, cases, trays, shelves,
or other receptacles in which the fruit
may be stored, and be always readily &C.
cessible for daily use.

Lulling Her Babies to Sleep.

Mrs. Julia Sophia Walker died at her
home in San Francisco or Friday night
under peculiar circumstances. She was
O handsome, vigorous woman, not yet
thirty years old, and mother of two
children, one a baby and the other about
four years old. Save for their company
she was alone at home in the evening.
She was busy with her household cares.
and the children climbed about her until
shortly after s o'clock, when it came
their bed time. She tucked them in
their cribs by the fire, and kissing them
goodnight turned down the light that
they might sleep the better. Going then
into the parlor adjoining, she left the
door ajar, and sitting at the piano played
for q time in a soft strain as q lullaby.
After q time the music ceased abruptly,
and the elder child was aroused by a
sound from the parlor like a heavy fall.
Calling its mamma repeatedly and re-
ceiving no reply, the little me arose,
went into the parlor, and there by the
piano, on the floor, just as she had fallen
from the stool, lay the mother, dead.
Mr.. Walker reached homo within a few
minutes thereafter and was overwhelmed
with the spectacle which greeted his en-
trance. His wife lay dead and his chill
dren were crying with fright. The
Coroner was informed, but, rs death
plainly resulted from heart disease, no
inquest will be held.

About Canary Birds.

How many of our readers are aware
that a canary has four notes to his soug2
Indeed, according to the Detroit Free,
Press, dealers, after listening to the sing
ing for a moment, are able to tell whether
the singer is German or American.
These four notes are the water note,
which is a ripping, attractive bit of
warbling like the murmur of a riIl; a
flute note, clear and ringing; the
whistling note, of the same class, but
very much finer, and the rolling note,
which is a continuous melody, rising
and falling only to rise again. 1t is in
the last-named note that the American
birds fail. They cannot hold it.
Another difference between the two is
that the German canaries are night sing
ers-they will sing until the light is ex-
tinguished. But American birds put
their heads under their wings with dark.

Geese by the Million.

The plains along the Sacramento River
in California are covered with geese.
The following story comes from
Biggs Station: THAT cold snap of the
past week appears to nave caused all to
congregate on the lands lying between
Butte Creek and the Sacramento River.
1t also seems to nave affected their vocal
organs in some way, as they do not
cackle or scream as they generally do. An
idea of their number may be derived
from the fact that a rancher living in the
vicinity of French Crossing was sur
prised when he arose Monday morning
to see his grain field of 240 acres
apparently covered with a foot of snow.
lie rugged up a sled and struck out for
a sleigh ride. He was surprised, upon
reaching the field, to discover that the
snow was in reality a huge band Ct white
geese with their heads beneath their
wings, peacefully sleeping. A yell
awakened the feathered army and caused
it to decamp toward the ethereal realms
above. Our informant, who witnessed
the scene, estimates the flock as number
ing at least 20, 900; says there was not a
honker or brant among them, and that
their flight through the air looked like a
huge snowdrift.

The poultry editor of Farm aud Gar
den gives this timely advice in relation
to supervision of poultry yards: 1t has
been demonstrated, by repeated failures,
that no one can delegate the duty of at
tending to poultry, but must do it him
self. To secur a competent man to
manage a large poultry farm is no easy
matter, and a really competent assistant
OF manager will want something more
than the ordinary monthly wages and
board. Nearly all failures result from in
competency. To get together a large
flock of hens, and put "a man" over
them who is not only an inexperienced
person, but below the average in intel
ligcnce, is ruinous to the prospects. It
requires knowledge and intelligence to
manage a large poultry farm, and quite a
salary is required to secure the right
kind of a manager, for they are scarce.
Any person engaging i'll the poultry
business must be sure and be on the
grounds at all times. He may have an
assistant, and even a foreman and other
help, but a single mistake may change a
prospective profit to a loss, and hence
the careful and watchful eye of the owner
must be over the work, and he will even
then find that no one can do what is re-
quired so we'll as himself, for disasters
have been the results of many ventures.

1t Was Plumb.

Yesterday forenoon man halted on
Griswold street and looked pretty fix
edly at the tower of the City Hall. In
ten seconds a second man stopped and
elevated his gaze. In five minutes
thirty men were looking. No one had
said anything or discovered anything,
when a fresh addition advanced to the
first man and inquired /:
"What is it, mister2"

ply.

"Why, no! How could it be out of

a minute without saying a word, and

Innocence of Youth.

"My darling" said a fond mother
who believed in appealing to children's
tender feelings instead OF punlshlng
them, eff you are 50 naughty, you will
grieve grandma so that she will get sick
and have to lie in bed in a dark room
and take nasty medicine; and then she
may die and have to be taken away out
to the cemetery and be buried; and you
will"
The child's face had become solemn
and more solemn, but an angelic smile
spread over his face at his mothers last
words, and throwing his arms about her
neck he exclaimed: ooh, mamma, and
mayn't [ sit beside the coachman?"-

What is a Blizzard!

Imagine, if you can, q frozen log
driven with the velocity of o hurricane.
The air so full of minute frozen particles
which strike your face like pin heads
fired from a musket that you cannot see
twenty feet ahead, and all this IS IN an
atmosphere from twenty to fifty degrees
below zero, and you a then form IS
clear idea of a blizzard as you'll ever
care to get. Its blinking, bewllderln88
effort is first felt. The intense cold
brings at first the pain of freezing, then
numbness, then stupOr, h a sense OF
blissful sleep and close upon It's heels
death.
Where is its cradle, its home?
The arctic regions. The papers talk
about a blizzard having started from
Manitoba, but that is not its home-lts
starting point. Manitoba is only It's
halfway house. ?
"Why do billiards. come by way OF
Manitoba, and makes themselves most
felt upon the west side of the Mississippi
River? Why do we never hear of biz
yards in Canada, New England, and the
Middle States?"
Because the L%aurentian ranged OF noun
tains stretches westward from Labrador
along the southern line of British Amer
lea 5000 miles, skirting the north shore
of Lake Superior, and tapering out IN
northeastern Minnesota, furnishing a
protecting wall of solid rock 1000 feet
high against billiards for all the region
south Of it. Biologists tell us that this
range is formed of the Oldest silurian OF
s~edimentary rock to be found upon the
globe, and that it extends 10000 feet
below the surface.
From northeastern Minnesota to the
Rocky Mountains is an open plateau-a
great doorway 1000 miles wide, through
which the ice king rushes. From that
line southwark is, in the main, the same
t~reeless prairie all the way to the Gulf
of Mexico, forming west of the Mississ-
ippi River heroyal toboggan slide, 5000
miles long, upon which his i~ce-crowned
majesty, the blizzard, sweeps in all his
jewelled robes to swoon in the arms OF
the tropical sun. The Texas norther IS
only the frayed fringes of the blizzard
kings mantle as he whirls past.

Carrots and Horses.

1t is not alone nor chiefly the nutri-
ton in carrots that makes them valuable
feed for horses and other stock in winter.
They have an admirable effectin keeping
the bowels open, loosening the bile, and
thus promoting healthful circulation OF
tile blood. A stalled horse kept on dry
feed through the winter becomes bilious,
Just as human beings do who lead seden-
tary lives. We have not got into the
habit of dosing horses for bil%iousness, nor
need we. A mess of carrots daily, with
half the usual amount of grain, will keep
a horse in better working order than oats
without the roots. In most places car
rots can be bought by the quantity at
about half the price of oats, and pay the
grower well at that .-American Cutti-
