Growth of Our Settled Area,

The extent to which the settled area
of the country Is constantly growing
may bc very closely estimated by the
record of Government land sales.
The facts in this connection are strik-
ing, even if few people are apt TO take
them into consideration. Every year
the United States disposes of from
ten to twenty million acres Of its
public lands TO purchasers, who, in
Majority of cases, are actual settlers.
Indeed, about half of the transactions
are made under what are called the
Homestead provisions of the public
land laws. This requires actual resi-
dencc by the purchaser OH the tracts
acquired, aud in great majority Of
cases Is the work of bona ildc settlers.
When it Is recalled that ten million
acres of land is double the area of
Massachusetts, and is one-lhird the ex-
tent of New York, it can be seen how
large an addition is yearly made to
the production capacity of the whole
country.
81 In the course of the ten years which
ended In 1890 the Government has
disposed of 10 less than one hundred
and fifty million acres of land, an
area nearly rs large as the whole of
the thirteen original States. 1t must
not be forgotten, either, that this i'm.
posing total does not include the land
sales of the State of Texas, which
alone among the State, of the West
retains the title TO the public land,
within its limits. Aud If the record
of land sales by the various railroad
companies, which the Government has
endowed with portions of the public
lands, are included in the total, it is
altogether probable that million
acres or more would he added to the
records for each year and some
twenty-five million acres to tho ag-
gregate sales for the last ten years.
When it is stated that in the past de-
cade one hundred and seventy-1ve
million acres have been brought un-
der settlement and cultivation, we
must imagine an extent of territory
larger than Germany and double the
size of tha British Islands.-TOnce.A-

InCuhated Babies.

Some of tue best New York hospi-
tails employ incubators for undevel-
oped infants. Tho incubator looks
like that used to hatch eggs, though it
is larger. lot-water pipes run be-
meath it, and two currents of warm air
are conducted into the cage. The baby
lies on all air pillow, at temperature
of about seventy.three degrees. The
air, of course, is kept in constant cir
culatio !. A baby viewed few weeks
ago weighed at its birth about two
pounds, and had presented a most un-
completed appearance, but under the
influence of the heat looked like any
other infant Of the age of six weeks,
only trife redder, perhaps, than
children brought up under tho usual
conditions. In the same room with
this baby were twelve others of about
the same age, two In each cradle. all
dressed precisely alike, and dis
tinguished from each other by bit of
writing stuck to the gown. The
mothers were in an opposite room,
and the nurses reported that every day,
when the children were bathed, there
was the greatest excitement In the
mothers ward lest tho babies got
mixed. "Wouldn't each mother know
her own child by instinct" was asked.
Tho nurse shrugged her shoulders,
and replied: "The babies are all ex-
actly alike. and all paupers, but each
mother wants her own, and each ono 8
own is the prettlest. It's the idea of
getting another woman's baby they
don't like. "-CThe LEDGE.

CARE OF WINTER CLOTHING.

The methods for destroying moths
annually recommended are countless.
yet many prove utterly powcrless
against the increase Of the little pest.
How often the housckceper sighs
heavily when, at tho commencement
of winter, she passes cloaks and furs
in review, at the sight Of the ravages
in these garments. A hole in the
overcoat or bare spot in the fur
trimming will render the costly article
worthless. After n long trial of all
sorts of preventives-pepper, insect
powder, moth balls, etc.-a way was
discovered which for several years has
proved complete protection against
these insects.
A large wooden chest is used for
storing all our winter clothing. The
bottom is first covered with layer of
thick paper, on which is laid num-
Der of linen rags soaked in kerosene
oil and wrapped in paper. Over these
is second layer of paper. Next place
IN the chest large linen sheet, ample
enough to hang over the sides, and
lay upon it the winter clothing care
fully folded, first, of course, brushing
1t thoroughly that dust and moth eggs,
If any have been laid, may be re-
moved, otherwise all precautions
would be in vain. Put the heaviest
articles, such as mems overcoats, at
the bottom, then the ladies' evening
cloaks, then the lighter winter jackets
and shawls, and scatter Jumps of cam
phor thickly among the garments and
also in the pockets ard sleeves.
The fur collars and muffs, into
which bits of camphor are also thrust,
should be laid on the top. Lastly fold
the sheet closely over the whole, tuck
ing il in tightly at the corners. IL
not large enough to do this put Sec
ond one over the whole. Lock the
chest and set it away in cool place il
possible till the next autumn. Some
persons who objected to the use of
Kerosene lest it might soak through
the sheet have substituted, with entire
success, layers of tar paper placed be-
low and above the sheet. This paper
can also be laid between the garments,
but care must be taken not to let it
touch them MS the color might stain the

MAKING A LAWN.

A lawn may be sown either IN tho
fall or spring, but the primary requi-
site is the proper preparation Of the
ground. To be slightly and beautiful
the surface must be smooth and the
ground properly graded. Again, tho
soil must be of the best, and, IL not
naturally SO, 1t ought to bo made so
by fcrtilizing 1t. Quito often 1t may
be necessary to spread upon 1t better
soil, brought from more favored
spot, and nothing should DO omitted
for bringing IL into the productive con-
dition of good garden soil. u Not only
ought lawn have surface of fertile
soil, but all parts Of the surface should
be equally fertile. It is an unsightly
lawn upon which the grass grows un-
equally in patches. Small grass plots
can be moro quickly established by
soddlng them than by sowing the
seed, but for large plots the latter is
the most common method, aud when
the ground is properly prepared fine
lawn can be made by thick seeding.
The best grasses for lawn are KEN
lucky blue grass, Pou prateusis, and
red top, Agras,is vulgaris, in the pro-
portions of two bushels Of the former
10 one bushel Of the latter for an acre
of lawn. a quart of timothy and q
handful or two of white clover are
sometimes distributed In the mixture,
but these are not especially necessary.
As before said, there are two seasons
for sowing - autumn and spring.
Either is appropriate, and the choice
is of secondary Importance compared
with the preparation of the land.
To get rid of weeds and clean the
ground before laying 1t down in grass,
Mr.. Saunders, the Superintendent of
Grounds at Washington, suggests the
practice of planting it with early po-
tatoes. These, if well cultivated, will
soon cover the surface with their
leaves and prevent the growth of
weeds, and the operation Of digging
the crop and removing it tends to
further pulvcrize and loosen the soil.
The potatoes can DO removed, the
ground made smooth, and Aqss seed
sown from the middle of August to
the middle of September 9Snd the
grasses will vegeta,c and cover the
surface before severe frosts. { A top
dressing of thinly-sprinklcd manure
will protect the young plants during
the winter, and good thick-sct lawn
will be secured early in thn following
summer.
"A frequent use of the lawn mower
is absolutely necessary for tho main
tcnance of good lawn. and winter
top-dressing of well-rotted manure
should be applied whenever the condi-
ton of the grass seems to require it

to gcrminate Is tho fault of the
