Milk should Immediately after
milking be cooled by ice or running

whatever 1t is in. should be left open
The milk should be frequently stirred;
otherwise it viii cool unevenly. and il
SO it will quickly sour.
Heavy soils that have been well
underdrained and plowed to q depth
Of at least six inches will endure the
drought much better than a clay soil
that is drained on the surface. Under
draining permits the air and warmth
to penetrate to the roots of the plants.

cut on the lover branches so as to
trim the vines somewhat to tree
shape. BY pinching of the ends of
the tops and branches more laterals
will be thrown out and the limbs be-
come stronger and better enabled to
support the fruit.
The spirits of turpentine sprinkled
on the shelves of closets and placed on
pieces OF muslin therein will keep
away moths and buffalo bugs. Where
the moth millers are numerous. place
saucers containing spirits of turpen-
tine about the room and they will soon
die.-Good Housekeeping.
"A farmer should have not only q
good farm and good farm implements,
but also good place to store his wag-
ons, reapers, plows, etc. A good farm
err never stores his wagon under a tree,
or his pillow in the fence corner. 1t
A-.l- - Ill A
house is a necessity for every farmer.
I'm case of accident every effort on
the part of the patient to repeat in de-
tail the cause of an accident, the sem
sation, experience, ETC., should be dis
couraged. Careful conversation upon
other subjects and perfect rest will do
more to bring about speedy recovery
and strengthen all concerned in the
belief that it is not always necessary to
send for doctor.
When the time arrives that the
work of cooking receives the inteHi.
gence that should be given to it, the
human family will have fewer diseases.
Life and death are dear to us all, and
the preparation of the sustenance thS(
supports our bodies surely requires
both care and skill And, too, the
work of cook should be regarded As
an hOnored calling. 1t is labor that
should be so highly ranked that no
lady, however wealthy, need be
ashamed to be seen engaged in it. II
should be as respectable as school
teaching and clerking, SO that any
young woman who has talent for il
could engage in the work and not feel
that her labor was looked down upon.

miles in IT'S hours. just as you feel in
clined- You may stop when you like,
where you like, and for as long as you
like, and when you are ready to move
on, you have only to order out your
horses and get into your vehicle. It
makes no difference in what part Of
the Empire you may happen to be, nor
to what part you may wish to go.
Send your padOrozhnaya to the nearest
post station, and in twenty minutes
you will be riding away at the rate of
ten miles an hour, with your postal
order in your pocket and a hundred
relays of fresh horses distributed at in
tervals along your route.
The established rate of payment for
transportation over the post routes Of
Western Siberia seems to an American
absurdly low. It amounts, including
the compensation of the driver, to Il
cents per mile for every horse, or So
cents per mile for the usual "troika, ~
or team of three. In other words. two
persons can travel in their own carriage
with a team of 8 horses q distance of 20
miles for SO cents, or "a cents each.
used to feel almost ashamed sometimes
to wake up a driver at a post station,
in the middle of a stormy night, COM
pei him to harness three horses and
drive US 20 miles over a dark, miry
and perhaps dangerous road, and then
offer him for this service the pitiful
sum of 6S cents. Trifing and made
quate, however, as such compensation
may seem, it is large enough to tempt
into this field of enterprise hundreds
of peasant farmers who compete with
the Government post by furnishing
what are known as ''volni" or free
horses for the transportation of trav-
elers from one village to another. AS
these free horses are generally better
fed and in better condition than the
over-driven animals at the post sta
tions, it is often advantageous to en-
ploy them; and your driver, as you APP
proach a village, will almost always
turn around and inquire whether he
shall take you to the Government post
station or to the house of a friend. -
Travelling with ''drushki7' or friends, u
costs no more than travelling by post,
and it enables one to see much more OF
the domestic life of the Siberian peas
ants than one could see by stopping
and changing horses only at regular
post stations.-George KennGn, in

WASHING FLANNELS.

Put Them i'm IA Good, Warm Lather. But
Never In Cold Water.
Flannels and colored things are the
next consideration, and here it may be
remarked that the time when these
articles should be taken in hand ought
to be determined by the weather. It
is most desirable that, when the day is
fine, clothes should be hung out to
dry. OF late years the Importance. of
this detail has been forgotten, and in
large establishments where linen is
washed Wholesale, it is usual to have
drying-clOsets, hOt-air chambers, and
other contrivances where linen can be
dried without being hung out of doors
at all. This is unfortunate. There
are no purifiers like fresh air, wind
and sun, and an experienced laundress
could tell at once whether clothes had
been dried indoors or not.
Clever housekeepers, accustomed to
washing, often speak strongly in favor
of fiannels and prints being washed at
the commencement of the washing
days proceedings; and they find the
plan convenient, because they say that
colored things can be washed in the
same water as fannels, and the water
used for rinsing flannels will serve for
''firsting" the best whites. All this Is
true; and yet, when we come to prac-
tice we find it is best to let the state of
the weather determine for US when
hannels are to be washed. We have
to remember that, though linen
and calico may lie for awhile
after being washed without in
jury, yet flannel and colOred goods
must be quickly dried, or they will
spoil. To dry fannels slowly causes
them to shrink; to dry cOlOred prints.
chintzes, etc, slowly, is apt to- make
the coIors run. Flannel and colored
things, therefore should not be touched
until there is prospect that they can
be dried off and be done with; and this
is why we should consider the weather
in deciding when they shall be washed,
Flannels should be put into good,
warm lather-that is into sOapy water,
only little warm: out on no account
into cold water. AS much as possible
rubbing should be avoided with them,
because to rub flannel makes it thick.
Wringing also is harmful to them, and
it is better to squeeze and press the
water out vi them than to wiring them.
Soda also. should never be used for
fiannels; and if they are to be kept in
good condition they should be neither
mangled nor ironed. COlored goods,
too, should not be put into very hot
water, and soda should be dreaded for
them. They should neither be starched
with hot starch nor ironed with a hot
iron. After washing they should be
rinsed in cold water, in which a good
handful of baysalt. Or a little alum, has
been dissolved. They should not be
dried IL the sun. Neither hannels nor
colOred goods must be boiled. Many
laundresses put several handfnlss or
common salt into the water in which
c"lored things are rinsed- This helps
to make them look clean and bright,
but it also tends to make them turn
limp speedily. This objection does not
apply quite as much 10 bay salt as to
common salt.--CGsseL's Family hGg0-
