hEALTHFUL LIVING.
An Important Point which Many Farn
era Seem to Overlook.

An Important Point Which MANY Farm.
Seem to Overlook.
Much has been written with refer
ence to healthful modes of living. The
farmer has been warned against too
free use of the pork barrel over and
over again: and while it seems to be
true that our pork eaters are as healthy
and long lived as our beef eaters are, it
is nevertheless true that a steady pork
diet is not the best diet. If we were to
be asked to lay down general rules for
healthful methods of living on the
farm we should say: First, good, COM
Portable house with large, airy rooms;
a strict regard for cleanliness about the
premises, that is that all decaying mat
ter should be scrupulously removed
from any location that is near the
house; good drainage; frequent bath
ing: as much labor saving in all depart
ments in the house and out of it as pos
sib.e. and variety Of foods. The
chicken is frequently drafted for the
farm table, perhaps too frequently, for
fowl is hard to digest. Fresh beef ia
summer is not practicable unless
bought of the butcher. But-stating
again what has been stated many tines
the sheep furnishes an easy means by
which the farmer can supply himself
with fresh meat at any time of the
year. With fiock of sheep one can be
slaughtered at any time. and what is
not needed of the carcass for home con.
sumption can be disposed Of. This
feature of the benefits of sheen hus-
bandry alone is enough to commend
sheep breeding to the farmer.-West

LIGHT ~ THE STABLES.
DO Not 10 Afraid or LeftIng tho Cows
Have Plenty Of sunshine.

DO Not 10 Afraid or Letting the Cows
Have Plenty u sunshine.
All will admit that most living things
do better in sunlight than in darkness.
We have never met anyone who claimed
that cows were an exception to this
general rule, yet many farmers and
dairymen act as though they believed
they were. In witness of this fact no.
tice the barns and cowstablcs along
your road the next time you go to town.
In fact how is it upon your own farm?
Those who have dark places claim
they do not see but their cattle are
well enough, and that the milk is rs
good as that produced by other cows.
They have never tried the same cows
in two different conditions SO do not
know from experience what the differ
ence in results would be.
In a recent number of Hoard's Dairy
man the editor told of an incident that
occurred nearly a score of years ago in
York state. He had been looking over
fine herd Of dairy cows owned by nm
intelligent dairyman.
THE cows were standing in the yard,
and" says the editor. 1--WE were much
impressed by the strong indications of
tone, vigor and thrift which marked
every animal in the herd. On inquiry
we found that they were not highly fed,
yet they looked and appeared better
than some herds that consumed a much
larger daily ration.
The owner explained the mystery
by saying that he ascribed the superior
condition of his cows very largely to
the care he had taken. in the construc-
ton of the stable, to have it well light
ed. His stable was on the south and
east side of the barn, and the wall was
filled with windows with double sash.
The stable was as light as day IN every
part of it.
1.-THE owner reported that he had mo-
ticed two peculiar effects: ~ the color
of the butter was much higher. Sun
light was the secret. One principal
reason why winter butter is SO much
whittier than summer butter is that the
cows do not receive as much sunlight
in the stable as in the pasture. (2) He
believed the light, and consequent in
ton of food. At any rate, he thought
he could winter his cows in the new,
well lighted stable with considera BILE
saving of food over what was consumed
in the old stable
Whether sunlight will make yellow
er butter than gloom or not matters
little. but whether the cows are kept in
damp and dark or in the full light of
even winters sun matters much.
Don't be afraid of letting in the light.
Light is not cold.-Farm, Field and
Stockman.

capped pinnacles which are found on
South river, in the Wahsatch noun
tains. There are hundreds of these
slender pillars, ranging in height from
forty to four hundred feet, most of them
crowned by large caps of stones. They
are not works of human art. as might
be imagined, but are the memorial mon-
unents of the hill from which they
have been cut by the action Of air and
water. Those pinnacles alone remain
Of many square miles of solid rock,
which have been washed away to q
depth of some four hundred feet. The
greater hardness of the surface has
caused it to resist corrosion more than
the underlying rock. thus leaving huge
caps of stone perched high in air on the
points of their columns. One double
column, capped by single stone, forms
a natural bridge, both unique and

POULTRY YARD CHATTER.

BEGIN in good season to get the fowls
TO roost in the house.
By care in feeding the eggs may be
increased in size and richness.
Two FEET is plenty high for the
roosts for the larger breeds of fowls.
Push the fowls intended for fall mar
ket now SO as to have them ready early.
LATE-HATcHED pullets will rarely lay
until spring; the best plan is to market
them.
BEFORE the fall rains set in. store
away a supply of dry dirt to use in the
poultry houses.
PUSH the growth of the turkeys now.
With the run of the stubblefields they
should gain rapidly.
EVEN when feeding to fatten it is
not a good plan to keep feed of any
kind before the fowls all the time
Feed only what they will eat up clean
ut each meal.
GIVE the turkeys good feed OF
whole corn every night now just before
they are allowed to go to roost 1t
will help to fatten them.
NEARLY all the medium sized birds
are more active and easier to raise than
those of a .arger size, while the mar
ket prefers medium size.
GEESE If well cared for will lay three
times year and will lay about one
dozen eggs at each laying. They can
be picked regularly until cold weather
sets in.
IT is always best in fattening fowls
of any kind to comm ence and gradual
~ increase the ration until they are
given all that they will eat up clean of

ALLOWING ne droppings to remain

Short History of Celery.

be used as a vegetable: An Italian

monastery for prayer and penitence, his
food to be of the weeds that grew in
the Enclosures about the prison. Gel

released from his confinement he trans
planted the weeds to his garden. 1t
was set in trenches to bleach it and
make it crisp and tender to his palate.
He was q leader in fashionable life,
and his example was initiated through
out Europe, and celery became at first
