FARMHOUSE CELLAR.
No Place Where Cows Are Kept Should
Bo without One.

Be without One.
On the farm where four or more
cows are kept, and the products of the
milk made into butter, large, we'll
arranged cellar will greatly aid in the
operation, and the one shown in the
engraving possesses many advantages.
The cnurn power is located at a, by
the side of the outside cellar door b, so
that the churned milk is near the door.
Plenty of light is thus admitted to
watch the condition of the churn. The
cider and vinegar barrels are at d, the
pork barrel near the window at e, po-
tato bins are at j, and a long, hanging
shelf for apples at O. and table for
all work at h. The cellar stairs are To-
Gated at Z, and a large table holding
four rows of milk pans at t. A table,
with an inch strip on the sides, is
placed at n, on which can be arranged
the canned fruit.
1t will be observed that the milk
table is convenient to both stairs, also
to the churn. If thought best, light
partition can be made to separate the
churn power from the rest of the eel
lar, but if dog is used for the motor,
and he is brushed before entering the
cellar, no trouble will ensue. No
breeze should be allowed to enter the
cellar, and to guard against this heavy
curtains should be hung at the win
dows, and tightly closed during the

now lie Would Improve the Roads In
Country Districts.
While much 10 being written about
good roads, IL seems TO me that most of
the plans put forward are too costly
and unwieldy TO meet the approval of
the residents of the localities through
which the roads pass, and who would
be called on TO bear the expense My
plan would be for the voters of the an
nual township meeting to fix the wages
of men and teams per day, as is now
done, AMI let each farmer work the
road along his land. Have state law
giving the township committee entire
charge of the roads in the township,
then let each farmer work his road,
keep his account, return 1T to the com
mittee under outh, and take it out of
his tax. Where two farmers join a
piece of road, they could divide it as
they would line fence, each taking
5ne-half, or, one did not want to work
any part of it, the other could work it
all, the one that did the work getting
the pay; and, if there were cases where
neither would work it, the committee
could get IL done by contract, or any
way they thought best
If this plan were adopted it would
not be many years before there would
be rivalry between neighbors as to
who should have the best road. If a
farmer undertook to keep his road in
repair and did not do it to the satisfac-
ton of the committee, they could get
some one else to do it, and if II farmer

order to get the pay they could choke
him off. The farmer could get his road
in good shape in the spring, which is
the proper time to repair roads, and il
it needed repairs at any time he is
right there with his tools and teams.
In my own ncighborhood there is grav-
ell along The streams which makes as
good u road as crushed stone, and costs
nothing but the hauling; but if there
were no good material at hand the

Distance Learned by Touch.

Bishop Berleley's theory that a
knowledge of distance is acquired by
touch and not by sight, and that the
eye judges only by the experience
learned with the other sense i, Dor e

5ne Brooklyn bridge. At the highest
point, when one sees only the water be-
low and nothing by which to measure
the distance, people do not feel dizzy,
because they do not appreciate the
height. But nearer shore, where they
can realize it by looking at the houses
and chimneys, they are often troubled

The Value of Fruit.

]. II. Hale says the popular taste for
fruit is constantly increasing, and the
men furnishing fruit of extra quality
never supply the market for such fruit
and never can. 1t is only the common
sort that overstoclts the market He
thins the fruit on peach trees SO that no
two peaches are nearer to each other
than four inches. The fine peaches
thus obtained sell for six times as much
per peach as the common ones; and
they do not exhaust the trees so much
The same results have been reached by
other skillful cultivators in other
places.

Royal Baking Powder
Is Absolutely Pure

\NIHILE there are so many alum baking pow
w ders in the market, the use of which all
physicians decide render the food unwholesome
and liable to produce dyspepsia ant other
ailments, houselceepers should exercise
most care to prevent any powder but the Royal
from being brought into their kitchens.
In the use of Royal there is an absolute
certainty of pure and wholesome food.
The official State Chemists report: The
Royal Baking Powder does not contain am
monia, alum lime, nor any injurious ingre-
dients. 1t is absolutely pure and wholesome.
The Government reports show all other
baking powders to contain impurities.
In the use of any baking powder but Royal
there is uncertainty if not actual danger.
1t is unwse to take chances in matters of
life and health.

was stone, and keep supply on hand
at all times. In two instances here the
railroad company has delivered fur

good wagon roads are an adv vantage to
them as well as good railroad.
In this section the farmers are very
averse to any bonding system, or any
plan that proposes an expenditure of
from $4,000 to $1,000 per mile, but the
plan here proposed would soon work
its way in public favor, be cheap and

Modern Education of Children.

To bring the child into contact with
facts, to guide him in classifying and la
beling these facts for himself. becomes
the teachers first and chief duty, in
obedience to the sound principle that de-
velopment of powers is gained by their
exercise only. From this point of view
education is conceived of as a natural
process extending from the cradle to the
grave, with nature as the chief teacher
and the mother as the first assistant,
whose work is carried on by the schools
and the experiences of life.
