Winter Vacations.

The farmer and the members of his fam
lily who have spent busy season from the
time when the ground thawed last spring
until it began to freeze this fall are fairly
entitled to a vacation, and will be the bet
ter for taking it if they spend it rightly,
says a writer in the American Cultivator,
visiting city markets and learning what va
rieties of crops are in most regular demand
and sell at the best prices, and how they
should be put up for market. Very few
farmers know so much about their own
crops that they could not learn more from
the marketmen who sell them to the con-
>umerS. And this visit will lead very nat
urally to a desire to meet and question the
men who have the best success with GER
tain crops, and learn the full particulars of
the method of cultivation, which the mar
ketman may not know.
Then there are farmers institutes where
certain departments of farm work are to be
discussed, or certain crops and the methods
of cultivating them. 1t would often pay a
farmer to 90 a considerable distance to at
tend such meeting. No better use could
be- made of some of the leisure days than
to spend them, if practicable, where the
subject to be considered was one in which
he was particularly interested. And the
more he knew about it before he went the
more valuable such points as he could
gather from others would be likely to prove
to him. And the grange meetings in his
own nrighborhood should be regularly at
tended, and an interchange of experience
can hardly fail to be made mutually instruc-
tive and entertaining. And, more than all
thcreSt. because it will give more instruction
and more pleasure at less cost, he should

Keep Your Feet Dry.

The dispensares were crowded vester-
day with women and children who had
caught cold. The doctors had all sorts and
degrees of rhcum to attend to. from the
smiling, Wheeling small boy to the cough
ing and straining old man. One of the
physicians said to Sun reporter:

gravcyards than an epidemic of cholera.
All the children that came i'm here today

men. You would think that an intelligent
business man would know enough to take
care of himself but he doesn't. The aver
age New Yorker goes down town and
tramps around i'm the wet until his feet are
cold and damp. He gets into perspra-
ton and goes back to his office, where he
takes off his coat and sits i'm his shirt

where there is not a draught, and that man
will find that draught and sit in it. Then
he sneezes a few times and says, Il will
catch cold if | sit this way any longer. ;
He does not appreciate the fact that he has
caught cold already

on dry socks and warm slippers he takes "A
drink of hot whiskey. Now what connec-
ton is there between hot whiskey and a
cold in the head? None. He gets into an
other perspration and the chances are
that he will catch more cold.
"With the women it is the same way.
Take the young girls you see trampng
about in the mud of Fifth avenue and
Broadway. Nine out Of ten have got on
low shoes. Is it surprising that they have
colds? They have not had time to lay i'm

Some years ago it occurred to me to
stack little ice outdoor to save the troub-
lie of taking it from the ice house. The
stack was made on the north side of a
building. In the expectation that warm
weather would quickly melt it, but little
was put up. 1t kept surprisingly and
thereafter large quantities were stacked
yearly, until for several years past the out
of-door stack has furnished ice for cream
ery and household until about September
|. My method is to spread few inches OF
shavings on the ground for the ice to rest
on, stack the ice and cover with shayings
to depth of about a foot. / have found
a low stack best, as there seems to be COM
paratively little melted from top or bottom;
but if an opening through the side cover
ing lets the air in it will cut away very fast,
and the higher the stack the more Difficult

used the same shavings year after year. l

stack in the shade; the shavings getting
