To judge by the figures that repre-
sent the birds, deaths and marriages
of the French Republic for 1888 the
rate of increase of the population shows
no improvement on previous Years, and
can scarcely fail to be an object of d s.
quietude as to the future of the nation.
The number of marriages during the
year was $50, 400. as against 2S2, ,OI9 i'll
1887; the births were 935, 566, against
937, ,057 IN 1887; and the only increa g
was in the deaths, which were S3S, 539,
against SIS, ,S2S. At this rate France
would require 267 years to double her
self, as far as native population is con-
cerned though the actual increase j.
greater on account of the immigration
OF fore gners, which, according 10 the
last census, would enable the count Y
to double its population in 1G5 years.

IMPURE AIR IN THE STABLES
Now that horses will be stabbed at night
or should be, the most perfect cleanli-
hess should be observed. The floor, if
of wood, should be frequently drenched
with water, and then sprinkled with
Underground gypsum (plaster), by
which the strong, pungent odor common
TO stables will be neutralized and
absorbed. This strong ordor of am
mOnia, which often pains the eyes and
nostrils of man, is exceedingly in
furious TO horses. 1t rots leather and
corrodes varnish, and what must be its
effect on the eyes and lungs of the
horses confined in it during whole
nights? Foul air promotes glanders,
farcy, blindness, influenza (epizootic),
pneumonia, heaves, all common diseases
of horses; and the acrid manure i'll
which horses are compelled TO stand
causes not only the Injurious vapor tut
rots the hoofs and irritates the
skin.

FARM NOTES.

To RAISE AND KEEP ONION SETS
Onion sets are of two kinds-tfe top
sets or bottoms, and bottom sets, or
:hose raised directly from the seeds
Select the ". ~ best possible piece OF
ground, and put it in the highest con-
dition. Form a bed fourteen to eigh-
teen feet wide. put a broad board upon
this. to stand upon while at work; then
have prepared a slat two inches wide
and i inch thick; make the rows Of suit
able distance apart for conyience In
work ing; lay this slat crosswise the bed;
stand or walk upon it enough to press II
an inch into the fine, mellow soil; tins
makes a straight, smooth trench IN
which to sow the seed; then sow by
hand enough to cover the bottom of this
trench, taking special pains TO fill up
the corners. We thus have here a
broad, straight low. without ragged
edges, which enables us to work up
close to the plants. The crop should
now have close and constant cultivation
until the tops turn yellow; then harvest
and grade them into suitable sizes, the
most desirable size being about that OF
hazlenuis Run them through a screen
or course sieve. If all goes well, it Will
be interesting to see how literally they
Yield, and 'Dulge' themselves up IN Ile
rows, abundantly rewarding the labor
given to them. To keep the sets
through winter is somewhat difficult,
yet need not differ essentially from or
dinary onions. The most suitable place
is an upper story of brick building,
with good ventilation. But they may
be placed in a barn-loft, or any cool,
dry place, until cold weather, when
they are to be moved INTO a cellar. The
most important points are to maintain
as even temperature as possible, and
good yentiIation; little freezing will
not hurt them. 1t is very damaging to
allow them to sprout. For storing,
prepare shallow boxes with both sides
and bottoms. Place these boxes on
something that will elevate them suffi-
ciently for air to pass underneath
The boxes may be placed on each
other crosswise.

FROZEN milk can not only be
transported with ease, but as long as it
can be kept frozen Will come out per-
fectly fresh. Experiments in tn S line
showed that in cooking qualities and in
yield of cream as we'll as in other re-
spects, frozen milk corresponded with
quite new milk, and butter and cheese
could be prepared from it quite as well
as from new milk. These results are
detailed in a paper by N. Guerin, of

PRESERVING Arruss IrAvrs-

OSE of the great fancles of this sra
son bas been for autumn leaves, which
sra used IN various methods. the most
popular being. perhaps, to dry them
rstly and carefully, and take great care
to preserve their stalks. When thor
oughly dry they are vanished, which
gives them a pretty gloss and also acts
as preservative to them from all in
sects and moths After this they are
carefully laid aside for the decoration

them are very effective, and when dry
they may be dyed. They NAV be also
frosted when dry, by dipping each

grasses and leaves NAV be used the
dried everlasting flowers and the pre-
pared moss, but 1 must warn my read

arrangement 10 avoid the least heavi-

vases and stands are the most effective
for their arrangement, as the transpar-

likeness and grace. Another way of
using the dried leaves Is for the orna-
mentation of tables, blottIng books, or
boxes. Old cigar boxes, when painted
black, are very favorite articles for de
coration, but now We know the value of

In these pipes are fixed rods, outside OF
which it is intended TO have a thin film
of water trlckle down, this being regu-
lated by a cap fitted to the upper end of
the rod. The wafer in thus running
down the rod will, it is claimed. absorb
all the particles of dust, ETC., that may
be floating in the air, also cool and pur-

known purifying chemical agents can
be mixed with water for the purpose OF
