Hollow teeth, and the bad odor
caused by them, could easily be avoided
by proper cleansing OF the mouth. The
teeth should be protected from vegetable
pdTdSlIcS dS Well as from 1ho dSSuhuid
tion OF tartar; these should be removed
as quickly as possible, or their bad ef-
feet counteracted. After each meal the
teeth should be brushed with alcohol or
water, to prevent the particles OF food
remaining in the mouth from decompos-
ing. After this some innocuous powder,
such as chalk, egg shells, bicarbonate OF
soda or other slkali, may be used with
the brush, in order to prevent the forma-
tion I'm the mouth of acids which will at
tack the teeth.
THE simplest means OF purifying water
Is by filtering 1t. For this purpose the
best substances are charcoal, or a COM
bination of clay and charcoal, because
this material has the property OF sepa-
rating from the watcr all impurities,
especially those decOmposed materials
which give it bad smell and taste. An
inexpensive but thoroughly effectual
filter may be constructed in fiower-poE
by lining it with layer Of flannel, and
then filling in successively three inches
of gravel, three inches OF white sand
washed perfectly clean, and four inches
Of animal charcoal. A clean sponge may
be placed across the top.

Tho hest Varieties.

In view of the present over-production
of grapes for both Canadian and Ameri-
can markets, we should advise growing
only the largest and choicest varieties II
you look for any profit. Among black
grapes, Rogers No. Tor Wilder) is a fine
large sort, of excellent quality, ripening
about with the Concord. Moores Early
is the best of the well-tried early black
grapes, preceding the Concord by nearly
a fortnight 1t is of fine size, but not
equal to the Concord In productiveness.
The Concord should not be omitted from
any collection. OF red grapes the Rog-
ers' o Uindley) is one of the best on ac-
count of its size and quality. 1t rlpens
Just before the Concord. Agawam (Rog-
ers' 15) and Salem (Rogers' 22) are also
equally excellent; the latter, which ripens
about with the Concord, is often badly
affected with mildew. IL is particularly
desirable for its winter-keeping qualities.
The Delaware, though small In size, has
not yet been surpassed for excellence Of
quality. It needs high culture and
plenty of plant-food. Among white
grapes, try Jessica. Niagara and Pock-
lington, they will ripen in the order
named and thus give succession. Some
who have tested Moorc's Diamond claim
that 1t promises to surpass them all in
quality and equal them in productiveness,
but 1t Is too soon yet for us TO give any
decided opinion. Canadian Horticulttcr-

Turnips as Poultry Food.

The turnip is not rich in the elements
necessary for the purpose of the hen, but
it promotes health and egg production
by affording change from the dry food
in winter A mass of cooked turnips, to
which ground grain is added, will prove
more beneficial than either .turnips or
grain alone. For this reason turnips can
be used proftably for all classes Of poul-
try, and the crop will save grain and in
crease the profits Ali who make a
speciality of keeping large number Of
Fowls should grow turnips. Geese and
ducks will eat them raw II they are

Tho Feed and Warmth.

The warmer the poultry-house the less
food required. 1t does not pay to feed
hens simply to keep them warm. 1t is
cheaper to warm them by keeping the
cold away. Warmth is a luxury; adds
nothing to the fowl that tends to q profit,
and is given off as fast as it is created.
Food should be given with a view TO Sc
curing some return for it. 1t Is not
economical to stop up crack in the wall
of poultry-house by mitigating its ef-
fects through an extra allowance of food,
but the crack should be closed in some
other way, and the food lessened. Food
is money expended and should bring back
