dows durin cold nights and keeping them
shut all other times, the temperature can
be kept very low; and the cellar should
not be permanently closed. SO long ms il is

must be deep, ceiled overhead and tloored

Removing Stones from Land.

The amount of labor that can be afford
ed i'll improving land is more question of
location and its value after Improvement
than is often supposed. Near large city,
land freed from stones is valued highly for
many uses. and the stones themselves may
often be sold for more than the cost of get,
ting them out for foundations OF buildings.
Where the stones are not useful for some
purpose it makes dear land to dig them
out or sink and bury them if they are very
numerous. The farmer can do this if he
is willing to count his own labor little or
nothing. Not many farmers in these days
are thus willing, though it was common
enough whom tho country was newer
Yet there is n satisfaction in removing eye
sores, where excessive labor is not requr-
ed, that makes it worth while to do the
work, even though the land secured be
II It worth what it cost We recently saw
n farmer digging out a rock in the centre
of large field. 1t probably cost him at
the rate of fully u thousand dollars an acre
for the space the stone occupied TO rid the
field of the one nuisance that had always
dshgured it. Yet the farmer was well
satisfied, and he had reason to be The
Improvement wus not alone in the land
reclaimed to use, but every acre III the
whole field was made more valuable there
by Thus the expense, though apparently
eXtrayagant, was fully justified by the
good results gained.

Laundry Hints.

The Iousekeepar gives the following
hints To take ink out of linen, dip tia,
spotted parts Immediately in pure melted
tallow, then wash out, the ink will have
disappeared.
Here is II good way to wash red flannel:
Str two TABLESPOON fuls of flour into one
quart of cold water Let it boil ten min
utes, add warm suds and wash the flannel
iii this, using the hands il stead of the
washboard. Rinse in three waters, ali
warm, and Of the same temperature
Even the bright scarlet flannel will never
lose its color when thus treated.
To wash calico without fading, put
three glls of salt in four quarts of water.
Put the calico in TINS while the solution is
hot, ard leave it in until it becomes cold,
then wash and rinse
To prevent lored stockings from fad
ing, put tablespoonful of black pepper
into the water in which they are rinsed.
Black stockings, or those which are dark
coofed should never he washed in winter
which has been used for other clothes.
Black pepper in the water will also keep
black calico or cumbric from fading.

One of the best methods of hitChing Il
horse that is uneasy, or has the habit of
paving in the stall, is to pass a rope over
small pulley. and attach about pound
weight to it, and fasten the halter into u
ring or loop on that upon the inside of the
stall, so that the horse stands up TO the
manger, the halter will be drawn up short
and the weight rest upon the floor. When
he lies down the weight will come up
enough TO give him all the rope necessary
Some do this and have the halter fastened
to ring upon the top of the head in. tead
of under the jaw, and when they desire to
lead him out by the halter pass the loose
end down through the other ring.

True, it is some trouble to save seeds,
but it pays in both quaity aud quantity
of crops produced. The following is a
highly approved process for saving melon,
pumpkin, squash and cucumber seeds
Place the seeds in II basin of water; wash
and cleanse them throughly; then take a
skinner and lift out and throw away all
those that float, as they are useless. Some
times half the seed in melon will float,
and, of course, they should he rejected, as
they will not germiuate. Put the good
seed on a be ard and dry them in the shade
never in the sun. After they are through =

they will be safe from mice and insects.
