Shorter Paragraphs.

The refining influence OF trees,
plants, and flowers make a very
marked impression on the character
Of children.-Farm Stock and Home.
So many reasons can be given in
avor of winter hauling that at least
three out of five farmers of my ac-
quain:an prefer to get manure away
from the barn as quick as it is made.
%. c. Farmer.
1t will cost but trihe to have the
bride bits covered with leather, and
then you will not have to warm them
when you are in a hurry to hitch up
cold mornings. A man so thought
less as to force q frosty iron bit into a
horses mouth is not fit to have the
care OF a team.
1t is always best to use enough
straw or other absorbent to prevent
waste OF either the solid or liz uid
droppings of stock. And it is very
doubtful whether it ever pays to use
more than this. A huge straw stack
worked into the manure pile makes q
big but delusive show.

A Suggestive Butter Story.

A farmer suspected that he did not
get full value for butter sold to the
village grocer. When he vent to Mil
waukee, where his butter was retail
ed. he asked the commission merchant
to whom ne knew his grocer shipped
to let him see some butter. He was
shown some, but after examining it
he said it was not good enough. He
was then shown somewhat more de-
sirable sample. Even this did not
suit the farmer, who said if they had
no better butter he would not buy.
"Well," was the reply, 1--WE have some
choice butter in here, but this comes
ten cents pound higher, and you
may not be willing to pay that differ
ence." The farmer at once recognized
his own package of butter, told the
commission merchant the object OF
his visit, and contracted to sell all his
butter to the merchant at price
which would induce him to turn his
whole land into a dairy farm.-N. Y,

Benefits of Cement Floors.

There are such substantial and evil
dent reasons in favor of cement floors
in cellars, and especially for milk Gel
lars, on account of the purity and
freedom from mould-propagation
which they secure, that many will de-
sire to know what are the reasons on
which Mr.. 0stenson bases the alleged
superiority of clay floor. While clay
is extremely absorbent of moisture

terproof. and as easily kept clean as
common burnt ware. 1t is like an ex-
tension to the whole cellar OF the glaz-

such tight and seamless floor desir.
able in the cellar, but as yard suffac-

Window Gardening.

This is the appropriate season for
window gardening. A well arranged
window OF plants need not contain a
large number OF kinds, and indeed a
few choice specimens are all sufficient
to supply the demands of beauty and
taste. In fact, graceful foliage is OF as
much consequence as pretty flowers.

like, interspersed among smaller flower.

different seasons OF the year. Expe-
rienced persons know that window
plants of any kind, as a rule, do better
IN pots, or, as is generally termed, "un-
der-potted" rather than "over-pot.

are of roots, and the more luxuriant
the growth, the more water is needed
at the roots. A small plant in large
tub or pot is much more in danger OF
overwhelming than one in a small pot.

Rural New Yorker.
Our last years experience with the
oat crop has taught us very import
ant lesson. The sooner the grain is
sown after the ground is in order for
work in the spring, the greater will be
the chance OF success. Those OF my
neighbors who got their seed sown the
earliest saved their crop in good con-
dition, while those sown a week later
were almost an entire loss on account
OF frequent rains at the time OF har-
vesting. My plan is to plough the

ground is sufficiently dry I'd work.
