THE HOUSEHOLD.
Water ms q DisInfectant.

1t is fact that appears to be not
generally known, perhaps because it
may not be generally credited, that
pure, fresh, cold water is one Of the
most valuable of disinfectants, mas
much as it is powerful absorbent.
Every sick room should have vessel
of clear water frequently renewed,
placed not far from the bed, or even
beneath it. This not only absorbs
much of the hurtful vapor, but by its
evaporation it softens and tempers
the atmosphere, doing away with the
dryness which is so trying and de-
pressing to an invalid-or even to
we'd persons, for that matter. 1t has
frequently been shown. by actual ex-
pertinent, that troubled sleep and
threatened insomnia are corrected by
so simple thing as the placing Of an
open bowl of water near the sufferers
couch. OF course it hardly need be
said, after these matters have been
considered for moment, that water
which has stood for any length OF
time in close room is not proper for
drinking purposes. - Good House
keeping.

Wuru 70 SOL 1-E's
When to sell hogs is a mooted ques-
tion among farmers.
One writer advises TO sell hogs
when the most money can be got for
the least outlay.
The ups and downs OF prices we
cannot control, but by careful atten-
ton TO the feeding and use OF scales
we can tell closely whether we are
making corn into pork at profit or
not. III not, there ought TO be a
change OF ration or an immediate sale
OF marketable stock. 1t doesn't pay
to hold beyond the time OF profitable
growth and fattening.
Most successful feeders believe II
pays best one year with another To
sell the pork when the highest point
in gain has been reached, letting the
question of probable higher prices
alone. Corn used in keeping over fat
tening hogs will make twice as much
pork If given to other animals.
1t is a losing game to hold for an
increase of price as rule.
Make all the pork you can out OF
your corn in just as little time as pos
sible and then market to the best adj
vantage, is the advice Of the Cincin'
natl Commercial.

horticultural Hints.

THE Pearl tuberose, besides being
dwarf and having larger flowers than
the common one, is earlier blooming,
the flowers opening a couple of weeks
before the other.
DAHLIAs are easily keptiin winterby
being placed in a cool celler, free
from frost. The roots must not be
allowed to become so dry as to shrivel
up.
THE sweet gum is one Of the hand
soonest of ornamental trees. Its star
like leaves are admired by all who see
them; and when autumn comes they
assume a scarlet color, rivaling the
scarlet oak.
MANY of the earliest Towering herb
aceous plants, if taken up and potted
in the fall, will bloom nicely indoors
in the winter time. Columbines, vio-
lets, saxifrage. creeping phlox and
blood root are among them.
Hydranged pdnic,lata grdndi-ttord,

early spring. Dig up from the open
ground and pot them before the
ground freezes. Farmer.

Dairy Notes.
Pay as you go.

STILL another milk-testing appar-
atus is announced, called the Hutton.
THE United Kingdom of Great
Britain has 90 people to one cow.
We have one for every 4.3 persons.
NIAGARA is the name given a butter
cooler exhibited at the show at Bath,
Eng. 1t consists of a water-tight
chamber around which cold water is
made to flow.
A CONDENSED milk plant is to be
put in at Newport, Me-, at cost of
$50, 900 to consume the milk Of 4, 900
cows. Several others are to follow If
this one succeeds.
FILLED cheese is still in the market
in Chicago and the Farmers Review
OF Chicago and correspondent of the
Wisconsin Farmer both advocate a
national law against all such frauds.
MILK drawn from an infamed I'D
der will almost invariably, If made
into butter, develop an offensive odor,
resembling decaylng meat. Such
milk is unfit for use. Do not feed it
even to pigs. Pour it on the manure
pile.
If man is a criminal who robs
your purse, in what category would
you place the one who robs you of
that which is dearer and more precious
than money--your health? Look out
for the one who seeks to sell you any
of the so-called compounds that are
guaranteed to prolong the keeping
qualities of milk. They are slow but
sure destroyers of health.
SOME complaint is heard that the
dairymen who have had the milk
feature of the Columbian Exposition
in charge have dubbed four breeds
dairy breeds-and shut out the rest.
Guernseys, Jerseys, Holsteins and
Ayrshire are the lucky breeds. They
must be rather exasperating to the
Shorthorn men IL TO no others, In
view OF the position the breed has 90
cupled In this country.

The Latest WAY.

There is, in st. Paul, a certain preach
err. of Hibernlan antecedents, who con-
siders himself to be in direct commune
cation with the we'll OF English unde-
filed, and is generally credited with the
possession Of as rich brogue as can be
found anywhere in Tipperary Some
mention was made Of his peculiar pro-
nunciation at church meeting, which
greatly angered him. He Immediately
called upon one of his leading parishion-
ers, and, after complaining Of the injus-
tice done him, asked him whether, In
his opinion, single trace Of the brogue
was to be observed in his speech
"Well," his friend answered, "if you wish
to deny 1t, should advise you to do SC
in writing"

needs higher intellectual advance
ment and more refined culture than
the cultivators of the soil. They oc-
cupy proud, high, and honorable

The youths of the country, instead
of abandoning agricultural pursuits,
should seek them and endeave to
make them a source of profit and
give them high improvement. In
this way they will have culture and
refinement as well as health and
pleasure.
Let the intelligent, progressive, and
practical farmers in every neighbor-
hood meet on some Saturday after
noon in every month to consult and
advise with each other. Let them
give in public meetings the results of
their experience, show how to in
crease the fertility OF the soil; to
cause greater productions and to i'm
prove their live stock. These meet
ings will become schools of instruc-
tion. They will be pleasant and
agreeable, as well as instructive, and
will enable the farmers to get the
benefit of each others experience. /

can have Of improving the agri-
culture Of the country and of making
it profitable as well as agreeable.
How could time be better or more de-
lightfully spent than at these meet
ings? They are not held for the pur-
pose of advancing the political inter-
ests Of the men engaged in them, and
enabling them to get some Office by
creating antagonism between the
different classes of the community,
but their object is to advance the in
terests Of the whole community and
to improve agriculture. None but
intelligent, progressive and thrifty
farmers can be expected to take an
interest in these meetings. All such,
by uniting together and acting in
concert, will exert an influence, the
happy effects of which will be felt
throughout the whole region in which
they exist If they need any pc

THE DAIRY.
Pay as You GO.

The creameryman who goes into a
community and pays the cash for his
milk just as fast as it is delivered at
his door, the same as any other bust
ness does-or ought to do-will es-
tablish himself on firm basis OF es-
TEEN among the farmers, and will be
supplied with the best the dairy af-
fords, besides insuring the eternal
good of all the people of his neighbor-
hood. The farmer and dairyman
has to wait too long for returns. A
cash basis would benefit all concerned.
1t is easy to deride this idea, and
say that it is impracticable, chimer-
ical, ETC., but this does not make it
so, nor will it convince us that it is
so. Every line of business is hanging
too much on the farmers capacity
(now nearly exhausted) for indulg-
ence, and it is high time for radical
change.
Pay as you go.

A well-known Atlana man, (says
the Constitidioa) who died recently,
was i'll a long time before the end
came. When he became aware OF his
approaching death, he called friend
to his bedside and asked IL he knew a
minister whose name was mentioned.
"Well, / wlsh," said the sick man,
"that you'd go to him and tell him
I'm going to die, and ask him to
preach at my funeral" The friend
went TO the minister's house and
found him sick in bed. Nevertheless,
he delivered the request "Tell my
good brother" said the minister,
''that I'm mighty sickmyself, but I'm
getting better, and IL he can manage
to hold on to life until get up, I'll
preach his funeral sermon gladly"
