Black Raspberries.

Black raspberry plants require very
careful handling The cold drying
winds which so frequently occur during
planting time will seriously iniure the
roots in short time if allowed to strike
them. endeavor to set the plants as
early in the spring as the ground can be
gotten in good condition for planting
If deferred later until the young shoots
have attained considerable length there
is danger of breaking them off, and al
though strong healthy plant will gem
orally throw up another, yet 1T is later
and not as strong and sometimes fails
to appear altogether Cover the plants
with about two inches of mellow earth
as fast as dropped. After planting cul-
tivate often enough to keep the ground
mellow and free from weeds. l usually
plant row of potatoes between the
rows the first year. The one thing about
which find it most necessary to caution
my men iu cultivating, not only rasp-
perries, but strawberries and all small
vines, plants, etc, is to run very close
to the plant, and especially to run very
shallow next to it. / generally make it
point to adjust the cultivator myself,
so that the tooth next the plant will
run about an inch shallower than the
others as find too many men imagine
that thorough cultivation means deep
cultivation. Where the ground is per-
fectly free from manure, grass roots or
other trash, the curved, scraping shov-
els of the cultlvator, set to throw the
dirt away from plants, are excellent for
this work as they run shallower as they
approach the plant, from the very form
OF the shovel.

Milk asW Beverage.

As people, do not think we drink
enough milk in natural state, says
writer in the Ohio Farmer. When the
writer was a boy he worked portion OF
one season on large dairy and hay
farm. A two-hundred acre pasture ac-
commodated the seventy-five milch
cows that composed the colossal dairy,
and garnering the hay crop to feed this
big herd through winter was necessari-
ly large task. That the men might
hold out we'll in the hot sun, cider and
strong drink were dispensed with, and
cold sweet milk was copiously drank.
Reduced to low temperature and par
taken of in its rich purity, it made a
kingly drink, that cooled the system
while it nourished the stomach All
the arts of science can not improve on
natures lacteal laboratory in COM
complete than milk. Air is great
purifier of any substance and emphat-
ically so of milk. But an evil is only
aggravated if the fluid is exposed to a
foul atmosphere. In the vicinity of
many dairy barns, where milk is al
lowed to set over night, there are num-
berless causes of stencil. Old manure
heaps are being opened and carted away
to the fields; pig stys give forth un-
savory odors the year around, and fire.
quently gross neglect in the manage
ment of water closets adds its quota to
the foul vapors. To aerate milk, or to
allcw it to stand in such air is utterly
futile in an endeavor to preserve its
quality. The health of hundred peo-
pie may be jeopardized by the milk
from one dairy standing for few hours
in an unhealthy air current. AS you
value your own physical we'll being, and
the sanativeness of the country at large,
be not negligent in these matters, for
they are momentous; if their impor-
tance is overlooked on the start, there
will be harvest of evil by and by.

HOW TO BECOME TALL.
An Ingenious Device That Can Be Used

An Ingenious Device That Can Be Used
by the short People.
Hollow cheeks and wrinkles are awk-
ward things, writes Miss Mantalini in
the Pail Mall Budget. Ladies do their
best to prevent their appearance. The
clever ones seem to be able to ward off
the wrinkles, but hollow cheeks COM
pletely battle their skill. A gentleman
who lives at Islington is providing
small pads. These pads are attached to
natural or artificial teeth by means of
tiny gold springs. The price of face
pad is triie heavy, like every thing
else guaranteed to improve the personal
appearance. A pair of pads costs some
thing like e5. The maker of the face
pad said that gentlemen as we'll as la
dies are wearing them. One gentleman
had never looked any thing but cadaver
Gus until he took to the pad. Now his
cheeks are rounded like cherub's, and
he looks ten years younger. The Curl
Gus thing about the face pad is its in
aexibility. 1t is made of the same ma
terial as the case of a set of artificial
teeth.
There is no need for the small person
TO be overlooked on account of want of
stature. 1t is possible to add as much
as four inches on to your stature by the
Cremerian boot, designed for the eleva-
tion of the lowly. The invention is an
odd and ingenious one. Instead of tack
ing six inches on to persons heels, a
pair of entirely false feet made of eek
are put into the shoes. When the
wearer gets into them he or she is raised
according to the inches of cork. OF
course, in this invention the original
foot is made to combine with the cork
one under the leather in such manner
that the line of demarkation is not per-
ceptible. The size of the foot is sacri-
feed, it is true, and u larger boot is nee

The flue has a rise of eighteen inches

raise them ten inches from the ground

roof should be placed over the furnace
excavation and sheet iron should be
nailed above the furnace door to keep
it from taking fire. Four air holes on q

If it should get too warm, board could
be laid over the apertures. Do not burn

coal gas is sometimes generated, which
is fatal to the plants. A vessel made of
galvanized iron and placed on the fur

Don't plow in good crop when you
have grown it, A few years ago my
father plowed an acre of good corn land
and sowed it to buckwheat as early as
the spring would admit. A heavy crop
was in blossom and plowed under in
July and the ground sowed again. This
was plowed in on September 10 and rye
sown. The next year the rye grew only
three feet high and the heads were but
IL inches long. A friend plowed in a
heavy piece of rye when in blossom
and planted it with corn, but | could
not see that it was any better than
where there was none. had six acres

Generally speaking, the toilets and

line and effect, the modes of the past
winter There is one change noticeable
that is certainly not for the better, and
that is the very perceptible lengthen-

to be fervently hoped that we are not
drifting back into the untidy and un-
healthy fashion of street sweeping, but
it looks very much like it when we are
told that among certain Partisan lead
ers of fashion, not a few demi-trained
dresses are being adopted, which, upon
the promenade are caught up in one
hand as they were when this fashion
was so universal q few years ago.
At present, however, the popular
