COOLING THE CELLAR.
In Ordinary Weather Windows Should b.
Opened at Night Only.

Opened at Night Only.
A great mistake Is sometimes made
in ventilating cellars and milk houses.
The object of ventilation is to keep
the cellars cool and dry; but this OBJ
ject often fails of being accomplished
by common mistake, and in.
stead the cellar is made both
warm and damp. A cool place should
never be ventilated, unless the
air admitted is cooler than the air
within, or at least as cool as that, or a
very little warmer. The warmer the
air, the more moisture it holds in sus-
pension. Necessarily, the cooler the
air, the more this moisture is con-
densed and precipitated, When cool
cellar is aired on warm day, the en-
tering air being in motion appears
cool, but as it fills the cellar, the cool
err air with which it becomes mixed
chills it, the moisture is condensed,
and dew is deposited on the cold walls
and may often be seen running down
them in streams. Then the cellar is
damp and soon becomes moldy. To
avoid this the windows should only
be opened az night, and late-the last
thing before retiring. There is no
need to fear that the night air is I'M
healthful-itisa as pure as the air of mid.
day, and is really drier.- The cool air
enters the apartment during the night,
and circulates. through it. The win.
dows should be closed before sunrise
in the morning, and kept closed and
shaded through the day. If the air
of the cellar is damp it may be thor
oughly dried by placing in it peck OF
fresh lime in an open box, and, the
National Builder adds, peck of lime
will absorb about seven pounds, or
more than three quarts, of water,
and in this way cellar or milk house
may soon be dried, even in the hottest
weather.

REFRACTORY ANIMALS.
Farmers Should Get Rid of Them as
Quickly as Possible.

Farmers Shonld Get Rid OF Them as
Quickly as Possible.
Any farmer is really unfortunate
who possesses balky horse, kicking
COW, or breachy animal Of any kind,
and the best way to get rid of the evil
is to dispose of the beast, even If it is
done at something of sacrifice. Re-
fractnry cattle should be prepared for
the shambles: refractory horses put
upon tread powers if ball1y, and to
city use if unruly. There is neither
peace nor profit in keeping such, and
the real aim of life should be to make
the situation as comfortable as posi-
BILE. Kicking cows are sometimes kept
on the plea that they are good milk
ers, but it is not a fit one, for fatted
cow will bring sufficient money in the
market to purchase good, kind
mixer any time, and the perplexity
saved is worth the price again an.

ject says: / do not speak of this as a

A WATERMELON THEORY
Evolved by Brunette Gentleman In q
Public Conveyance.

A solitary individual was the only
occupant OF Belt Line car the other
morning, which was tinkling north.
ward along Tenth avenue. Being deep
ly engrossed in the morning paper he
had hardly noticed an agel darby, car
rying watermelon, who boarded the
car as it passed Washington market,
AS the solitary Individual, who had
genial smile, started in the foreign
news, he had a dim recollection of the
son of ham having placed the melon
solicitiously on the floor OF the car be-
tween his feet, parting his coat-tails,
and heaving sigh as he sat down.
The sigh was the most prominent of
three for it spoke of an inward con
tentment few in this world are privil-
eyed to enjoy. Some minutes passed
in silence. Then the presence of
another was brought to the genial
mans attention by his carefully lifting
the melon to the seat beside him. Be-
fore the car had travelled block the
locn ton was again changed, and the
melon surreptitiously placed in the
darky's lap. All these manoeuvers were
accompanied by many stealthy look.
His next move was to pull out the plug,
but alas somebody had removed all
the eatable portion. Holding the rind
in his hand he looked down the hole,
longing depicted in every lineament of
his features. There was the color of
the fruit which had mitigated the sor-
rows of his race for centuries, but it
seemed as if his mouth would have to
water i'll vain. Just then thought

clearing of his parched throat, he adj

For about two minutes he was buried
to the ears in the luscious fruit. His
mouth was sealed, but his eyes spoke
gratitude that words could not have
expressed. After the section had been
finished, the rind replaced and the
knife wiped off, he said
Boss, you've done me a powerful

Remedy for Plant Lice.

These troublesome insects cannot be
poisoned, because they live by suction
and take the sap from the leaves by
means of their sharp beaks, which
they insert deeply in them. They are
only vulnerable by means of some oily
liquid applied to their bodies The
best of these is the emulsion made of
soap dissolved in water and mixed
with kerosene oil. A pound of soap
to quart of hot water and a quart of
the oil are the proportions. This is
thoroughly shaken in jar, and when
emulisified it is set away to cool, and
one part of it used with nine parts of
water. This is sprayed on the insects,
and is deadly to all with which it may
come in contact.

MAKING GOOD BUTTER.
The Secret of Success, 1t Is Claimed, Lie
In prnner Marking.


The Secret OF Success, 1t Is Claimed, Lies
In Proper WORKING.
Working tn butter is where the fine
art of butter-malsing comes in. Moth
ing but practical and deep study will
master this part of the work Given q
single lot of butter out Of the churn
and divide it between two people, one
an old-fashioned butter maker, and the
other modern expert, and If the but
ter came out of the churn all right one
will make twenty-five and the other
fifty cent butter of it, such being the
Importance of proper working
To work butter correctly we must
begin in the churn. Stop it when the
butter breaks, say the size of bird shot.
Draw off the buttermilk, skim off the
granules of butter that have run into
the churn. Now carefully lift the but
ter all out of the churn with tin or
wooden dipper. Don't for your life
touch it with your hands. Place it as
tenderly as a baby on the worker and
press it gently but firmly into a fat
cake. Then with the wooden paddle,
fold 1t together and again gently but
firmly press it fiat. Do this over and
over again until all the water is out
of it, but stop as soon as you can.
The danger to butter is in overwork-
ing it.
The skilled hand will get all the
butter out of it with two or three
workings, while the clumsy hand will
make a salve of it before the water
leaves it. The trick is to preserve the
grain SO that it will break piece of
cast steel The churn should be
turned at the proper number of levo-
buttons per minute, which will depend
on the shape and size of the churn and
the amount of cream in it.
Never put churn more than third
full, SO as to give the cream full
chance to fall or allow the dasher a
chance to agitate it. You can soon
learn to tell by the sound when the
cream "breaks," that is, forms in lit
tie pellets like shot Then stop, draw
off the buttermilk and add bucket of
clean fresh water at the temperature
Of sixty degrees. Be particular about
this if you want fine butter. Turn it
slowly in this water twice; then draw
off the water and add another bucket
full and repeat the process. DO this
until the water runs from the churn
perfectly clear; then the butter is
ready for the working table. Home

ROOTS OF FRUIT TREES.
Cultivation Close About the Trunks Is Not
Necessary.

Necessary.
While fruit growers are aware now
that the roots of trees and plants ex.
tend to great distance, stilli it is diff
cult to break away from the old habit
of manuring about the trunks, trust
ing that somehow or other the fertili-
ger will be appropriated and fearing
that if spread broadcast it may in some
way become lost; it will be found diff
cult to place manure in an orchard or
vineyard where the plants will not
reach it, and if properly spread will not
be lost. Should it sink into the subsoil
the roots will follow it and bring it
back by the ear, as teacher would a
truant schoolboy.
We have observed the roots of apple
trees in sand pits extending down
wards ten feet. We recently followed
the roots of an old grape vine twenty
feet under the location of a defunct
building. When we stopped digging
the roots were as large as a little
finger, were four feet beneath the sur.
face and probably extended ten feet
further. A pile of manure about the
base of this vine would have done but
little good.
knowing the extent and habit OF
root growth, it is apparent that Guilt
walton close about the trunks of the
trees or vines is not necessary, and is
often productive of more harm than
good in marring and breaking, besides
tempting profanity on the part of the
plowman. Rural World.

Shifting Cabbage Stems.

A description is given of a method
for arrestiug the growth of cabbage
heads nearly mature, and thereby pre-
venting their cracking. This is per-
formed by cutting the cabbage stem
half or two-thirds across with sharp
pruning knife and then extending the
cut either up or down for short dis
tance. If the cabbage does not bend
over by its own weight and thus
widen tn. split, a splinter of wood
should be inserted to keep the cut sur
faces apart BY this means the further
growth of the heads is arrested, and
yet sufficient sap reaches them to keep
them fresh until wanted for use.
