How Thousands of D"!i-rs Worth of Wall
 Papers, Etc, Are Ruined.
 It is stated that the sudden change ,f the weather recently from cold to warm and damp, has caused thousands of dollars of damage to wall papers md others articles in houses. or course it has, and it is so simple be- cause many people do not study the plainest common sense principles in airing their houses.
 One evening lately, people went to bed with hunt for extra blankets be- cause of the sudden and severe chill in the atmosphere. When they rose in the morning their bedrooms. par lors. dining rooms, etc. were yet chilly from the cold the previous day, while the outside atmosphere had sud denly became not only warm, but hot and oppressive with dampncss.
 lnconsidcrate people opon their win dows and doors because the weather was warm, forgetting the excessive moisture in the atmosphere would rush in with tho warm air and swiftly deposit itself on the cold walls, furni- ture, etc, and penetrate wall papers. curtains, beddin.. and evory thing within reach that presented a surface colder than the air that carried it into the house.
 Of course the moisture loosoAed and discolored paper; made curtains as limp as a washrag; made beds damp and musty, and generally spoiled every thing that water could spoil; but all could have been avoided by following the plain common-sen5o rule of not opening houses suddenly to suddenly changed atmosphere, carrying an ex- cessive quantity of moisture,
 A pitcher filled with cold water and placed in d room in summer will "sweatn-at least tha. is what it is commonly called. The pitcher does not sweat, because i. i- not porous and can not sweat; but the cold water in- side of it chills the outer surface, and as soon ts tho outer surface of the pitcher becomes cooler than the atmosphere in the room, the moisture of the air will be prcipitated upon the pitcher in drops
 This simple illustration should teach all housewives to avoid suddenly open ing rooms in t house when the outside atmosphere is warmer than the temper~ ature of the rooms and full of moisture. In all such cases tue wall paper, furni- turc etc. being coo,or than the outside air will spee'lity have tho moisture of the atmo ,phere H'2cjpitated upon them, anl it witl Vi.rH days to re- store the house to th2 dry condition that is essential to health.
 There are no arbitrary freaks in the laws which govern tho atmosphere surrounding Us. and thcr. is nothing abstruac in mastering them.

EvAPORATiNG FRUIT.
An Expert Gives Some Suggestions ss -
 thc Rcst Methods.

A, cxpers Gives Some Suggestions ss =
 the Best Methods.
 $. w. Lowell. of New York, an ex- pert in eyaporating fruit, gives soma excellent suggestions. He says our grafted varieties of apples will yield six to eight pounds of evaporated irult to a bushel of green apples weighing fifty pounds. A pairing machine IS essential. and he prefers one that pares. cores and slices at the same time. There are several good ones. Two girls with Il machine will prepare thirty bushels in ten hours. Machines must be kept in perfect order Bleach ing with sulphur should be dlscour- aged. he says, but bleaching of some kind will be practical for some tune yet. Apples and peaches must be put into the blcachcr as soon as pared. To keep the color of fruit until It can be bleached, run if from the parer into a vat of brackish water-not too salty. as the dried fruit would then gather moisture and damage it.
 Spread the fruit for drying on trays made of No , galvanized wire cloth. Care must be taken not to leave the fruit in the evaporator so long as to turn it brown. l take out the fruit rather early and spread it about ten inches deep on curing floor. where it lies for ten days or two weeks, and is shoveled over once or twice before packing. In this way one can take fruit from the dryer while it is still quite damp, saving fuel and increas- ing the working capacity of the ma- chine. We nlso get a more market able quality of fruit. for the color will be better.
 "Evaporated apples in ring slices are packed for Eastern markets in boxes holding fifty pounds. Two pieces of paper placed in the boxes next the cover. and laid so that they will fold back each way from the center, tapping down on the side of the box, and then the ring slices are laid in rows on the paper. with e-half tapping so as to make a nice facing; then the box IS filled from the bottom. and if the fruit is thoroughly dried press is necessary to get fifty pounds into the boxes con- monly used. Ripe peaches must be prepared by hand; spread on trays with the fiat sides next the wire, and bleached like apples. They are packed in twenty-five pound bo,ies. l do not fully dry berries, but finiah in the cur ing room. shoveling thea over few times. Four pounds of black raspber ries will make a pound of dried fruit A bushel of peaches will make eight to ten pounds.
 Mr. Lowell says the waste can be made into vinegar worth s Il barrel He does not speak encouragingly oi "cook-stove evaporators' for marke purposes. but thinks n well-organizet establishment, properly managed, l: profitable. Western New York mark cts. at the writing, were offering cents for prime apples, equal to cents | in New York City.-St PRI Globe.

SECURE FOOD FIRST.
some of the Bad Results of Obtaining Too
 Much Live -SInCk.

Some of the Bad Results or oDt"H'"s A"~
 Much Livestock.
 The majority of persons who open up new farms invest most of their money in stock They think that the animals will grow and multiply while they are improving their places and raising food for them. Many find at the end of their first years operation that they have nothing to feed their animals except wild hay and little sod corn. They have several filters or pigs, but next to nothing to feed to them. They can manage to keep their cows and steers on poor hay. but they will come through Inc winter in bad condition. Their !.ur,cs will lose flesh if they do not hav.' some grain, and they will need o.tS O. corn to enable them to work in the apr.ns. It seldom pays to purchase corn to tccd to hogs, and new farm is the poorest of all places to try the experiment with hope of success. If {; man has good bulld' ings and lives where corn is plenty he may make money by buying it and feeding it to hogs. With poor build- ings and scarcity Of corn the pros pect is good for losing money.
 All kinds of farm animals will de- preciate in value if they have nothing but wild hay to eat If they have been accustomed to better living they will not be likely to breed. Cows will fail to give much milk. and young cat tie will gain very little. Horses must be well fed, especially when at work, or they will fall off in condition. lm- proved stock of any kind run down very quickly when taken from the comfortable quarters of breeder to the place of a farmer who has poor buildings and no stock food but wild hay and little sod corn. They are accustomed to warm barns, good care, and the best of food. If deprived of them they at once begin to lose flesh and vigor and in year they begin to look like ! scrubs. No farmer should take fine i animals to a place that is not pre- pared for them. Their superior con dition when he buys them is partly owing to good blood and careful breed- ing, but more is due to good quarters. careful attention and excellent food. Like their former owners, they have been accustomed to good food.
 The farmer who has warm shelter for animals, q small field of timothy and clover, Il thousand bushels of corn in crib, and an equal amount in oats. is prepared to keep stock to advantage and with a good prospect for making money. He is prepared to bridge over an unfavorable season. He can stand one bad year for crops. He will not be obliged to buy food, to stint his ami mals, or to sell them at a sacrifice. He can buy young animals of his neighbors who have not food to keep them and can purchase improved males to cross with them. A farmer who collects considerable number ol animals and has not sufficient amount of suitable food for them runs great risk. He is likely to lose financially. He is also likely to in fict cruelty on his animals. No hu mane man will be guilty of attempting to keep stock over a winter on insuffi cient or unsuitable food. A farmer who wishes to raise stock should firs' provide food and shelter - Chicagt ! Jf,pS

How to Feed Poultry.

Before the estimate for u daily al- first determine what to feed. We have held, as a rule, that one quart of corn per day is enough for ten hens, but hen would soon die if she had no other food but corn. as it is lacking in a suiliciency of some elements so nec- essary for the general health of the birds and their ability to produce eggs. There is no grain that can be relied on as being sufficient for the purpose of sustaining life and enabling the hens to lay. for tho reason that the ingre- dients composing au egg can not be derived from the grain. How. then. can the hen be provided? By giving her a variety, as then the material lacking in one kind of food will be found in another. and in that manner the food will be bal anced in quality. Even then. no one can fix on a given quantity of food as daily allowance. as the hen may require more at one time than at another. The quantity depends on the age, condition and productiveness of the fowls An excellent mode of feed ing hens is to give them rather too lit- tie food than too much. 50 as to induce them to go away on a hunt for insects and green food. They are often in- jured by overfeeding, but seldom seem inconvcuienced fl given only d partial allowance by their owner. The aim should be to avoid giving too much. as laying hens should not be- come very fat.--F, n, di4d FircSii..

WHEN TO CUT TIMBER.
The Importance of Properly Cutting and
 Seasoning Timber.

The Importance of Properly Cutting and
 Seasoning Timber.
 In cutting timber it Is important to get rid of us much sap as possible. If cut early in winter there is usually less sap than during the early part Of the summer, and if cut in the winter while it will require a longer time to season, yet, as rule. it will season more evenly. If to be used where it is an item to cut late in the winter or early spring, it will be best to let lie until the leaves have withered and died. A consider able portion of the sap will be evaporated in this way by the leaves starting out. lieut. into lumber it should dry gradually. Store under shelter or at least in the shade. so that the checking or cracking will be avoided. If green lumber is allowed to lie out in the hot sun it dries out too rapidly. Taking off the bark from the log OF tree us soon as possible after felling will aid in seasoning. If allowed to dry out too rapidly it will check and split and afford places for the water to get in. and. us such places usually dry out very slowly. it will rot very mp idly. If cut and piled up, care should be taken in piling to place so that the water can not get in readily. Stripe of lath should be placed between each layer. and lay ono above each other in piling up. Lumber will last much longer if cut pro- erly and carefully seasoned. Chicago JoUual
