Pet Names for Girls.

When an American calls Ellen Nellie
he obeys a noble. manly instinct; he loves
to regard his mother a. ''little mother"
his sister as "little sister," his sweetheart
as little sweetheart" his daughter as
little daughter" and this tender and
beautiful sentiment he expresses when he
employs the diminutives Nellie, Carrie,
Susie, Mamie, etc. A powerful argument
In favor of the custom is the fact that the
girls themselves approve it. / believe in
and stand for everything that shall show
to the world that our girls, our sweet
hearts. our wives and our mothers are our
pets and are petted.

Feeding Stock.
Dairy World,

1t requires considerable thought to give
food to stock at any time without waste,
neither too little nor too much. says an
exchange. This is especially true OF green
food, which unless carefully fed becomes
mussed and soiled so that 1t will not be
eaten, even while the animal Is still hun
CRY. 1t is a good plan usually to add a
and in such case the grain should follow,
allowing the animal to eat little less
than it will and then topping off, with
the more nutritious food. Cows thus fed
will in few minutes after eating lie down
and begin to chew their cud, the sign with
all ruminants that digestion is perfect.

Packing Butter.
Jessey Bulletin.

Jessty buIKetlu.
Packing butter made in summer for use
in winter is a very simple process. yet
many there be who make a mess of it.
There are two essential things to be done
viz: First, make good butter, from which
all the buttermilk and extra water has
been removed; second, pack in new oak
tubs that have been well soaked in brine,
or in well glazed earthen jars. and cover
the butter well with brine that has been
carefully strained. Renew the brine from
time to time as it evaporates. The brine
excludes the air, which is the secret of the
preservation of the butter.

SPREADING MANURE IN AUTUMN
HOW to Avoid Driving Heavy Loads
Over Ground PIowed Late.

Inc advantages urged for spreading ma
nure in autumn, rather than leaving it in
heaps where thrown from the wagon, do
not need to be detailed; but there is diff.
hcnity connected with this practice when
piowing Is done late in the fall, namely,
the driving of heavy loads of manure over
mellow plowed ground. The Country
Gentleman tells that the difficulty may be
avoided by laying out the field so as to
ieaVe strips OF land extending through it
on which to drive, and from which to scat
ter the loads of manure, and plowing all
the rest. When you get the manure all
spread You may then finish the blowing
OF 1nese strips, either in autumn, If the
winter holds off, or else early in the next

A MODEL ROSE HOUSE.
Plan Originated by q New Jersey Flor
list and Adopted by Many Growers.

By far the largest part of the best grow
ers have adopted the style of house as
shown in the cross section of the illustra-
ton, which is generally called the May
style. from John May, of Summit, n. j.,
who laid before the Society of American
Florists what he had found to be the most
useful and convenient size and style of
house, all things taken into consideration.
Such house can be arranged as to stag
ing to suit the use it is to be put to; but as
shown, 1t is the May style of arrangement
for roses, which are planted in the shallow
bench style with yearly renewals of plants
In most instances.
The length of the house may be made
TO SUIT circumstances. but to be economi-
cal il should not be less than 100 feet in
length-probably 150 feet would be the
most conyenient-so that in ranges re-

finished by either throwing the furrow
slices inward or else toward the exterior,
as may be preferred, the only turning of
the team being one-quarter at each corner
of the field. The most perfect spreading
of manure is effected by the use of a man
ure spreading machine, but many farms of
small or moderate size are not supplied
with this machine, and the mode we have
described has some special advantages in
the facility with which the manure may
be conveyed over the field.

A FINE EVERGREEN.
A Beautiful Fir Worthy of the Atten-
tion of Landscape Gardeners.

A Beautiful Fir Worthy of the Atten-
tion of Landscape Gardeners.
On the grounds of The Rural New Yorker
a specimen of Nordmann's fir has stood
uninjured by heat or frost for some four
teen years.
The journal mentioned says: "We
know, however, of a tree of about the
same age and size being killed, root and
branch, less than two miles from the Rural
grounds, during severe winter. An
unusually dry fall preceding may have
cansed its death rather than the severe
winter, as other conifers regarded as per-
fectly hardy were also killed. This beau
tiful fir is said to be hardy in Rochester,
and may stand still colder climates.

The fruit room may be separate build
ing, or an apartment connected with the
dwelling, and separated from all other
parts by means of q non-conducting wall.
A building 15x20 will furnish ample room
for all the fruit required by a common
family. 1t may be wholly above ground,
or partly sunk in the earth. The advan-
tage of excavating for part of the space
is to obtain more warmth.
A common practice is to erect frame of
6-inch studs and cover both sides of these
with boards. filling the space between the
boards with sawdust; but better way is
to nail on the studs building paper before
the boards are applied, the studs being
placed just far enough apart to give
slight lap to the paper as the rolls are sue
cessfully applied. The sawdust is omitted,
as it is liable to cause crevices by settling
and to be attacked by ra.s and mice. If
this air space and the two covers with
boards and building paper are not suffic-
lent to make good nonconducting wall,
nail vertical strips on each lath and add
another covering of paper and another
boarding. The roof is made non-conduct-
ing in a similar way and the room pro-
tected with double doors and doubleswin-
dows.
But the most important requisite in pre-
serving fruit from decay is to maintain a
temperature only few degrees above
freezing through all warm weather. Two
thermometers should be provided and the
temperature frequently examined. By adj
