IMPROVED PUMP PLATFORM.

neighbor has just fitted up his pump
platform in convenient way, as seen
in the engraving. A galvanized iron
pan fifteen inches across and eight
inches deep, Of a semi-circular shape SO
as to At snugly against the pump, with
an inch pipe to convey the water, is
placed directly under the spout. Into
this pan all the drippings and water
that slops over fall, and are conveyed
by the pipe to a flower garden where
the ground is irrigated, by filing q
small trough into which the pipe emp
ties to save the supply for the bitches.
Behind the pump trap-door, fitted
with strap hinges and hasp, staple
and paddock, opens into convenient
receptacle In which butter. cream, veg
etables to be warmed over, and meats
can be kept quite as we'll as in refrig-
orator, and without the expense for
ice. The platform is made of a frame
work of.two by six inch joists, with a
floor of matched flooring nailed on both
sides, the interveningspace being filed
with clean sawdust. This keeps out
frost in winter and heat in summer.
and with the provision for carrying off
the drippings, it is always clean and
healthful.-J. L. Townshend, in Amer.

THE WORLD DO MOVE.
Good Road Agitation Is beginning to
Bear Some Fruit.

Good Road Agitation Is beginning to
Bcar Some Fruit.
The agitation of the subject of good
roads is causing many communities to
take active steps in securing the ben
efits to be derived from their construc-
ton. From the Atlantic to the Rocky
mountains this good work is receiving
more attention than at any former
period in the history of the country,
and when the public is thoroughly
awakened to its Importance an era of
improvement will begin, which. from
the rapid development that will fol-
low, will be thoroughly American in
Its character, as no nation undertakes
such measures of Importance with the
same enthusiastic determination.
Townships and counties in both the
eastern and western states are prepar-
ing to submit votes for issuing bonds
for road purposes.
In Pennsylvania the citizens of Alb
ington township will vote during this
year on the proposition to issue $50. 900
in bonds to macadamize the principal
roads in the township. In Michigan
the board Of supervisors at Alpena will
submit vote at an early date for issu-
ing SIS, 900 in bonds to run fifty years,
to be expended in improving the coun-
ty roads.
In no section of the country have the
roads been so badly neglected as in the
south, but, with the light that is being
thrown on tLis important question by
the press, 1t will not be slow in adopt
ing such measures as will bring good
roads. Industrial American

Some Reasons Why Every Farmer Should
Have Greenhouse.
Even the most unpretentious rural
home should have place for forcing
vegetables, If it be nothing more than
a box or lseg, or large pot containing
a few roots of parsley, and set In or
near kitchen or cellar window. Some
fresh parsley sprigs come always handy
to put in soups or for garnishing, aud
the provisions for growing little bit
of this green stuff are easily made.
The model rural home, however,
needs greenhouse, be it ever SO small.
Without an opportunity to grow veg
etables and plants under glass when
the ground outdoors is deeply frozen
or covered foot deep with snow, one
necessary feature of perfect home gar

house is only in line with our desire to
utilize to the fullest extent all the priv
ileges Of a suburban home.
This same idea of making the most of
all our opportunities is carried also into
all the details of the work. Our aim is
to make the best possible use of every
inch of space, on and under the benches
and on the north dark wall besides
For the present will give only one
illustration OF this point In open-air'
operations aim to avoid transplanting'
wherever possible, preferring to SOW
many seeds, such as lettuce, cabbage
and caulifiower, in drills and to thin
the plants to the proper distance in
stead OF starting them in seed beds or
fats and transplanting to their perma-
nent place in the field. A similar
course in the greenhouse or hOteed
would leave large amount Of space
unoccupied for long periods This
would not do.
Our plan is to start everything in
fats, even radishes, grow them as large
as admissible in this way, and then
prick the good-sized plants out on the
benches. But even then we plant let
tuce close, and afterwards thin grad
ually to the proper distances in the
manner explained in accompanying
diagram:
At the left the plants appear as orig
inally planted in the beds, say five
inches apart When they begin to
crowd one another for room we re-
move every other plant. alternating in
the rows as shown. Plants to be re-
moved appear surrounded by q dotted
circle They are not very large at this
time, it is true, but tender and crisp,
and highly appreciated when they
come on the table. The remaining
plants appear as shown in center of
diagram, and are now about seven
inches apart each way. They are al
lowed to grow until they again begin
to crowd one another for room, when
they are as large as the forced lettuce
usually found in our markets. The
commercial grower would now gather
and sell the whole crop; but where we
want a continuous supply. and some
extra large plants besides, we remove
only every other row, leaving the re-
naming plants ten inches apart each
way as shown at the right OF the illus
tration. just as soon as the bed is en-
tirely cleared, another lot of plants,
lettuce, radishes or whatever they may
be, Is put in.-American Gardening.

A real sardine salad is not made OF
those little fish that come in oil and
are so high-priced; it is of the sailed
variety, which you buy by weight.
Take a half pound Of these, soak IN
hour, changing the water at least six
times. Pull them apart, taking out
the spine, and cut one of the halves
into strips an inch long, coilinp the
other half into little rolls; these last
are for garnishing. Use some gherkins
some mixed pickles, a little smoked
salmon and a teaspoonful of capers;
mix all together with three parts of

WATERING The COWS.
The simple But Effective Arrangement
OF an Eastern Dairyman.

The simple buL EueCttve AIThnkeAAAosss
of an Eastern Dairyman.
L. Twombly writes from st. Law
renee county. N. Y, to the Cultivator
and Country Gentleman: Lucky in
deed is the dairyman who has living
water of sufficient elevation to admit
OF it being carried direct to the barn
without other expense than the pip
ing; but few indeed are those SO hap
PLY situated. Being thoroughly tired
of the generally prevailing custom OF
sending cows out of doors in all sorts
of weather to quench their thirst at
trough or tank filed with ice water,
over slippery paths, amid the zero
breezes and billiards of our northern
winters, l set myself at work the pres
ent fall to devise something better.
knew of plenty of ways it could be
done, but the question Of outlay must
be considered; costly windmills, ele-
waited tanks and patent devices were
not to be thought of, SO went to work
as follows:
First. l got an iron force-pump.
eighty-fve feet Of hose and shallow
tin pan two feet square. The well is
located twenty-four feet away, and
some three feet lower than the man
gers; the thirty cows stand In two rows
parallel to each other, and by cutting
two holes to insert the hose through
the barn siding found l could, with
the help of boy, water them fully as
quickly and easier than ! could let
them out in the yard. The size Of the
pan admitting two drinking at once.
and being light could shove 1t along
with my foot and tend the hose at the
same time, each animal getting just
what she needed, and not obliged to
fight for II. either. Besides, the water is
several degrees warmer than where ex-
posed in tank outside. There is a
tight Enclosure over the pump to keep
it from freezing and for protection to
the pumper, and it is simply pleasure
these nipping, blustery mornings to go
out and do this work with everything
under cover, and after feeding, water
ing and brushing every animal, a more
speaking picture Of royal content and
comfort you will seldom find than they
are. l venture to say it would take
some clubbing to get them to go out
side unless the weather was pretty
fine OF course l let them go out
awhile ondays'when the weather is just
right for little exercise, but it is not
much they need.
When l think of the losses OF the
past twenty years from icy paths and
