Rats as Household Pets.

have seen and handled pair of
tame rats belonging to some young
friends, and prettier, more playful and
more intelligent pets could not be
imagined, They were accustomed to
run about on the table at meal times.
They never stole food; but, when any
thing was offered them, they sat up on
their hind legs. held the morsel be-
tween their forepaws and ate it dainti-
ly. They were fond of a game which |
saw them play. The rats were put in
to the boys cap, which was hung on
tue hat-stand in the hall. The boy
and his sister then went to the top
OF the house and whistled. At the
sound of the whistle the rats jumped
out of the cap, scrambled to the
floor and then ran up the stairs and
perched on their owners shoulders.
The general idea of the rat is that it is
an ill-savored animal, dirty in its per-
son and revolving in its diet, whereas
1t is delicately clean in person and
equally dainty In its food. 1t is ever
washing itself. and never eats without
washing afterward.-Pall Mall Gazette.

THE SWEET CASSAvA.

a Possible Rival OF Corn, Adapted to the
Soil of Our Southern States.
Recently there has been an addition
made to the food plants produced in
this country, which in time may prove
a strong rival of Indian corn. The new
plant is called sweet cassava. 1t seems
to have been proved beyond question
that on the southern border of the
United States there are considerable
areas admirably adapted to growing
this remarkable plant as staple ar
ticle of home consumption. while in
Florida its manufacture into starch.
tapioca and glucose ought to become a
leading industry. The cassava plant
is closely related to the ricinus, or cas-
tor-bean. which it resembles in general
appearance. 1t is handsomer plant.
not having the coarse, rank aspect Of
ricinus. Ii does not bear much seed.
and II Is not propagated from seed, but
from cuttings Of the larger stems. As
TO the quantity OF cassava-root that
may be obtained from an acre of ground,
no satisfactory estimates have vet been
made II must vary greatly under vari-
Gus conditions A single plant produced
fifty pounds of roots. the top measur-
ing eight feet in height and ten feet in
breadth. 1t had been highly MANFRED
A person who has given special atten-
ton TO the cassava thinks that from
ten to fifty tons Of roots of one years
growth ought to be obtained from an
acre Of land, according to its quality.
This is little better than conjecture.
but certainly the plant yields enor-
mously under certain conditions. The
uses to which cassava may be put are

One cent Is n small matter! Yes.
but when added to thereceipt for each
pound OF butter or meat, each quart of
berries or milk, through the year, it
is little thing that tells. Added to
price it is so much gain, so much net
profit. The first cost must come out
of the price. whether it be large or
small; the cost being covered. every
cent extra is so much clear. Isn't it,
then, wise to pick and pack, and to
raise only frst-class products, that the
extra price may be secured?
1t requires but little experience to
discover that the same kinds OF crops
can not be grown on the same ground
for many years in succession without
detriment Plants of the same family
should not be planted to succeed each
other. Plants which occupy the
ground for number of years, such as
rhubarb and asparagus. should sue
coed annual plants. Crops grown for
heads, such rs cabbage, cauliflower,
etc, should be succeeded by crops
grown for their bulbs or roots.

WASHING BLANKETS.
Two Ways That Are Highly Recommends
BY EXneriencen Hnnsekeaners.

Two Ways That Are Highly Recommended
BY Experienced Housekeepers.
Before putting away blankets for
the summer they are generally given
a good washing by most housewives.
When blankets are used without
sheets, rs in the case of a person Sleep
ing between blankets during the cold
weather, they ought always to be
washed ere putting away; but when
sheets have been used and the blankets
are not sOiled it is just as well to omit
the washing, being content with CIV
ing them thorough airing. Put them
out on the clothes-line on a fine day
and let them remain for the length of
q forenoon; then pack away in chest
or trunk, with a good sized piece Of
camphor rolled in cloth or in a mus
lin bag. Some housewives have q
closet especially for putting away
such things, built in the coolest part
of the house, and provided with broad
shelves. The blankets or comforts
are folded and placed on these shelves,
and between the folds is usually q
large piece of eamphor. Some do not
even use the camphor, but take out
the clothes frequently during the
warm weather and air them. airing
the closet at the same time. One of
these closets is a great aid TO a woman
and ought to be in every house, but on
no account use closet near n CHM
ney, unless the latter is not in use,
and il a window can be allowed to one
of these closets it will of Itself be a
preventive of moths, as the latter in
sects do not thrive in the light.
Some women prefer TO leave pair
of blankets connected, therefore. do
not cut them apart, but wash them to-
gether. Blankets like these can never
be washed as easSly or as well as
divided ones. II is hard enough work
to wash one blanket we'll. Always
cut the blankets apart and bind the
cut ends with tape to match the top.
Get ready in tub some pretty warm
water, to which add some household
ammonia, in the proportion of two
tablespoonfuls of amnsonia to pail of
water. and with some good white soap
make lathcr, place the blankets in
this, being careful that the water
covers them; let remain about an hour,
then rub them out, but do not rub on
soap, as it will make the libers hard,
squeeze out of the water, and rinse in
two waters of the same temperature as
the first, and hang to dry. Never
wiring them if you would have them
soft. but squeeze out as well as you
can. When dry take in and pull them
in shape, but never attempt to iron
them.
The following way of cleansing
blankets is liked by some; Into tub
of cold water put two large table,
spoonsful of borax and pint OF soft
soap. When dissolved, put into the
tub the blankets and let remain over
night. Next day, wash them out and
rinse in two waters (both cold), and
hang to dry. Blueing is used by many
in the last rinse water, but it is not to
be commended, as it gives them a
gray tinge, that is not at all as nice as
the creamy shade they usually pos
sess when rinsed in clear water. -
