Greenhouse and Wlnter Plants.

sudden fall of temperature during
the night cannot be foreseen, and 1t ls
well to consider what to do in an emer
gency. Sprirkling water upon the pipes
is one OF the most ready means of raising
the temperature. PlaLts in windows
upon ANTICIPATION of very cold mig bit
NAV bf removed to the middle of the
room, or an arrangement may be made
for hanging over the plants. screen of
light cloth or paper to be put over the
plants while the room is being swept will
aid greatly in keeping them free Of dust.
The health of evergreen plants Is much
promoted by giving weekly showering,
placing the window plants in the bath
tub. Plants too heavy to move, or that
are suspended, like ivy, should have their
leaves washed simply with soft cloth
and warm water.
1t is seldom convenient to smoke house
plants, and tobacco water may be used
for insects instead, standing the pots in
the bath tub, or a spacious siuk. Pour
boiling water upon cheap tobacco, dilute
it TO the color of weak tea. Lay The pots
upon their sides in order that the under
surface of the leaves may be reached.
Frequent drenchiug with water only will
keep red spiders ia subsection.
Bulbs that were potted last fall should
be well rooted by this time and should be
brought into life aud given waterl and
they will soon be in bloom. Give the
plants ventilation whenever the outside
weather will allow. Window plants may
be given air by opening the windows of
an adjoining room.
Pots of ANNALS make fine decoration
for the window or green house, and now
is the time to SOW the seeos. Nemophia
or Love-grove with its abundance of
light blue flowers, is oae of the best, as it
likes shady place. Candytuft, Sweet
Alyssum, and Mignonette are useful for
cutting. The canary-bird flower Is an
annual climber, and useful to train up the
window from the inside, or later upon
the outside, and to trail over the bal
cony.
In the green house propagate from
cuttings and by seeds such plants as will
be needed for the garden in spring. Look
out for sudden and sharp changes OF

a clean, we'll fenced bsrnyRrd, wits shed

Moderate ok is far better than idleness
for brood mares and stations in winter.
Cows are liable to severe accidents if
compelled 10 tramp over icy PATHS to
water, or if ioe is allowed to accumulate
around the watering trough IN the yard.
There is no room for question about the
econC my of taking the extre me chill oHt

there are few farmers who will take the
trouble. and the least they can do ia to
see hat the chilly watering places are
not rendered inaccessible by the block

Ensilage m ade from corn is not we'll
balanced food. It is rich in the elements
of fat and heat but lacks muscle formers
and should be supplemented by bran,
clover hay or oil-cakes.
Pig pens which stand high on posts
with an open space beneath the door, are
cold places in winter, despite straw bed
ding. IL saves feed and adds to the health
and comfort of the pigs TO, bank up
such pens or otherwise keep the winds
from whistling unde. them and through
the floors.
Poultry need good dry busting place.
They like it better on level with the

FAST OCEAN PASSAGE



Some Of the Great Records Made by Steamships
Since 1888,
IL was about Afty years ago, win tue
introduction of iron ships and thescr
propeller. that the era OF rapid steamboat
travelling began. The paddle Wheel
steamer Great Western sailed from Btis-
tol, England, April s, 1888, aud reached
New York, April % This was welcomed
as a great achievement, for the passage
across the Atlantic hsd been made in half
tbs time formerly required. Two years
later the CunaId steamers began to sail,
the pioneer vessel being the Unicorn, a
little craft, which made the passage from
Liverpool 10 Boston, via Halifax, ia SIX
teen days. I'm orovements ~ the rev
method of navigation were made N rapid
succession. In lS45 the Great Britala-
the original ocean-screw steamer--iett
Liverpool, Jnly 26, aud arrived at New
York, Aug 10. In May, 1851, the Pacific
crossed the Atlantic in nine daS nine
teen hours and twenty five minutes. The
usual time for the passage was still ten or
eleven days liz 1859. Ii is only within
the last zen years that the speed of ocean
steamers has become phenomenal and
their sizs enormous. TIE strictly modern
class of steamships may be said TO have
begun with the Arizona, built in 1879,
which made the Atlantic passage 10 the
fastest time then Gu record, attaining q
speed of twenty and oue-third statute
miles an hour. In the same year WAS
launched the Alaska, which, in 1882, WAS
the first vessel TO cross the ocean In sew
en- days, gaining thereby the title o.
"grey hound of the Atlantic; but still
heeter ocean greyhouIds" soon appear
ed. The Oregon outstripped the Alaska,
running At the rate of twenty two miles
an hour, aud in 1884 was herself eclipse d
by the Umbria making twenty-three and
half miles an hour. Then came the
! City of Rome, which made the eastward
passage il six days twenty two hours and
/ twenty five minutes; and in February,
| 1887, the Etruria came to the front with
a record of six days aud nineteen hours
| frolh Liverpool to New York. The I'm
| bri and the Etruria have made several re-
/ ductions on this time, and the present
! best record is held by the Etruria, which
made the passage from Queenstown to
4 New York in September, 1883, III six days
one hour and fifty minutes; but we may
/ expect full further reduction by eth T
| of these ships ON her next trip. Nearly
| ca nal speed has been made between Eug
Hand and Australia. At the beginning of
the century this passage required eight
months by sailing vessels, aud is nov
made by st, am 2rs in ahout six weeks
| The Ormux launched in 1887, was desic n
ated to greatly reduce this time, and
although at first not realizing expecta
tions, in October of the same year she ex
ceeded them by covering the distance be.
tween London ana Adelaide in tr,tle
under twepty-four days.
