The Russell Annie.

There are two or three varieties Of
russell, varying considerable in quality.
The kind most commonly grown is the
English russell, of not very high quality.
but valuable for productiveness and as
a late keeper. The golden russell of
Western New York is a better apple,
equally productive, and is of better
quality later in the season than any
other apple. All the russets have rich
flesh, and are not very juicy. Cider
made from them commands q higher
price than from other apples, though
onlythose too small for market or other
wise unsaleable are used. The russell
tree comes early into bearing, as it never
makes an immoderate growth of wood.
Its spreading habit of growth checks
the leading shoots and INDUCES fruitful
ness. After it gets to bearing, it needs
very high manuring. 1t would often be
better if the fruit were thinned, as the
fruit sets abundantly, and in its early
stages its thicker skin and sourness
make it less likely han some other
varieties to be thinned by the codling
moth.

THE ORCHARD.
Grape Vines on Heavy sofia,

The old idea that grapes thrive. best
on light land is mainly due tothe fact
that such soils are naturally dry. While
a heavy clay is not best for the grape,
it is no insuperable obstacle to success
in vineynrding, provided it is thoroughly
Undetermined. In fact, grape growing
is possible under a wider range of con-
ditions and soil that is the case with
any other crop. The one thing that
grape roots cannot abide in stagnant
water. No matter if this dries out in
midsummer it is then past the power of
the vine to regain lost time. Land thor
oughly drained to tho depth of three
feet warns more quickly in spring, and
makes q difference in temperature of
five to ten degrees or more at the time
When the vine most needs warmth.

Te.e.s.t H,ase MertaIItv.

Dr.. r. s. Tracy, the rsgibtrar Of records
OF the health department, has submitted:
to the board Of health . report ON the ten-
ement house mortality Of 1883, Supplement
tary to q report made BY him on the same
subject in June, 1880, says the New York
Medical Record. The doctor says that
since the beginning Of 1880 NIL tenement
houses have been constructed under the
supervision Of the health department, and
the construction of rear tenements has not
been permitted. The records show these
thinga: l The death. rate was lower DUR
ing 1898 in houses standing singly IN . lot
than where there were both front and rear
houses. 2. The death rate in houses built
since 1888 was lower than in houses built
before that time. 3. The death-rate was
remarkably lower in houses built since
1886, both for adults and children.

Preparing cuttings for Planting.

Cuttings of grape vines may be pre-
pared SO that q much larger proportion
will grow if a little extra care be taken.
Before the cutting can send forth roots
q callous must form on its lower side.
This is helped by keeping it immersed
in moderately moist sand, at a tempera-
ture of forty or fifty degrees. Cover
the entire cutting, rs it is not desired
that the bud should start. In green
houses the cutting is inserted in sand
underneath which pipes run to furnish
bottom heat. The bud is left exposed
to the air, which is most of the time
cooler than the soil. In this way the
root is ready to start as soon as the ex-
panding bud makes a call for more sap.
When the cuttings are to be planted in
open air in the spring., keep them in
the sand without watering all the win
ter. When ready to put out the cal1ous
will be plainly formed. while the bud
will be scarcely swelled.. Exposed to
warmth and light the bud will quickly
start into leaf, but thereof starting at
the same time, thereswillfbe no check to
its growth.

A FINE fowl always has, and will find

The people whom we would advise to

chickens and know how.
WEAsELs and similar vermin only
give trou6le in very rural neighbor-
hoods. They generally come in d

SPEAKING of roosts in q poultry
house, the Farmers Magazine says the
best ones are strips four inches wide
and n inch thick. The fowls can
roost on these with comfort to the feet.
They should have q clear space of one
foot between them, and should all be on
one level and not more than one foot
from the floor. When they are made
like a ladder the fowls fight to crowd to
the top, and when they are high the hens
are sometimes hurt by coming heavily
on the floor when flying down. Young
fowls should not roost until they are
fully grown. 1t is best to leave those
to stay in the coop when the hen leaves
them, and they will stay there comfort
ably until the weather gets too cold or
are ready for sale. 1t is best to have a
yard for chicks and the hens which are
in til" coops. so that they can be fed
without trouble from the other fowls.

The Cold Cure.

ton. 1t cannot be cured when once
fairly established, but it :can be pre-
vented in the majority of. cases by FREE
quent use of cold foot-baths and cold
air-baths. I mention these with conf
dence, because ], have tried them thor
oughly upon both my patients and my
self. The air bath, with light eymnas-
tic exercise at the same time, is a most
excellent, simple and generally avail
able form of t~oughening. In my own
case, and in most others that I have OBJ
served, an ordinary cold is caught
through the feet. The feet are the ten
der region rs regards resistance to low
Temperatures; first, because they are the
furthest extremity of the body; and
second, because in its ordinary attitudes
they are usually the lowest part, and are
30 exposed. to the colder strata of air.
Most of us are literally atenderfeet."
What shall we dofto tougher ourselves
against this particular invasion of the
cold? Plunge your feet on rising and re-
firing into very cold water. Keep them
there q minute OF two only at first, SO as
to be on the safe side. The next day
keep them in the tub or basin longer, the
third day o little longer still.

ache. Does that seem heroic treatment?
It is not SO severe as you may think.
The application being local and limited,
it gives no shook to the constitution,
such as the cold bath gives. The min
ute. your feet come out Of the cold bath,
w%raplthem up warmly, and rub them, If
necessary, andyou will find a delicious
thrill of warmth ditfusing itself through
them as the blood rushes back with re-
doubled energy. I have seen the remedy
tried by the most delicate persons, and
with none but excellent results. It
strengthens the circulation; it inviger-
ates the nerves; produces, in q. word,
what WI call toughenihg. Many o wo-
man whose feet were hardly. ever warm
from October until June has found a
glowing circulation in them after a few
applications of this simple bath, and
has obtained Immunity against the be-
setting colds which had previously been

Not nearly SO much is said as formerly
abont the necessity of cooking food for
stock. 1t is undoubtedly the fact that
warming food to near the animal heat
is a good thing in cold weather, and in
most cases the cooked food is fed while
warm, which may account for its sup
posed advantages. There is certainly
harm in giving wet food at a tempera-
ture near the freezing point in winter,
as it is apt to be, even in moderate
weather. The constant evaporation
from the surface rapidly cools anything
stomach where the natural warmth is 9S
degrees, produces q chill that requires a
good deal of the foodconsulned to over
come. The cooked food that has become
