High Smokestacks Tor Factories.

Aside from the fact that tall Chin
neys are better for the public health,
by lifting the deleterious product of
combustion far into the upper air, it
would seem that technical considera.
tions alone might recommend them.
But there has been fad lately for low
chimneys in factories, and w. e. LIE
Van expresses the weighty opinion
that they are mistake. As to frs
cost, there is no saving over high,
well-proportioned chimney, and the
entire drift of manufacturing require
ments demands the building of high
chimneys so us to enable more fuel to
be burned in a given time and space,
thus increasing the power and output
of the boilers. a rapid draft is equiv
alent to large tire-grate area, and
has the advantage that the heat is
transmitted much more rapidly to the
boiler by reason of the higher temper
ature obtained. Moreover, in many
industries, the goods produced are
liable to he spoiled by smoke and smut

HOW TO WATER PLANTS.

One reason why plants fade SO soon
in ordinary living rooms is because
due attention is not paid to them.
The mere supplying them with water
is not enough; the leaves should be
kept perfectly clean, for plants
breathe by their leaves, and if their
surfaces are clogged with dust, respir-
alton is hirdered, or may be alto
gether prevented. Plants perspire by
their leaves. too, and dirt, of course,
impedes this perspiration and as they
also feed in the same manner, it is
evident that there can be no thriving
and growth without real cleanliness.
Cast the eyes upon the foliage of
plants kept in the ordinary sitting
room, then draw white handkerchief
over the leaves, and it will be seen
that they are far from being rs clean
as their nature required. d.-St. Louis

in it to keep from the wind.
Salt is injurious to poultry to give
in too great quantity. If fed in
moderation in their soft feed it will
help to make it more palatable.
Every one who plants seeds ought
to send to some seedsmen for their
catalogues, SO that they may be able
to have the best the market affords.
Where sheep have an advantage

The 400.acre apple orchard of Judge
Welhouse, in Leavenworth County,

1t is not difficult to keep hens and
sheep from getting sick, but it is moi
so easy to cure them when they are
sick. 1t is usually cheaper and better
to kill them than to try to save them.

Instead of straw msts We use those

but little more than the straw mats,
are slightly heavier, and far more
durable. They are impervious to
moisture, and mice do not gnaw and
destroy them. The mats we have used
for three winters are but little worse
for wear, and cared for properly should
last eight to ten years. Snow should
not be allowed to remain over the
panes longer than twenty -four hours
at time if it can possibly be avoided !;
the plants need all the light and air
they can get during the dark months,
and if the frames are covered over for
a week or ten days at time the plants
suffer greatly. Mold will quickly
spread among the crowns and the
leaves become weak and spindling.
The plants ought to be picked over
once week, and any diseased or de-
caying foliage removed. Ifany green
slime appears ON the surface of the
beds it should be scratched over.

free from spot, but we have had some
little trouble with this disease on
Marie Louise, and especially on lifted
plants. The plants grown in frames
during the summer have made the
most vigorous and the healthiest

used Fir-tree oil once week with
good results. A small handful of salt

the Fir-tree oil mixture, and the ap-
plication is made about midday,
while the sun is shining full on the
plants.
We find that our plants at this sea-
son dry out sufficiently to take mod
crate watering once fortnight, but
they will need less water from now
until the end of January. The water
should be tepid, and should not be
poured into the crown. The water.
ing should be done early enough in
the day for the foliage to become
quite dry before nightfall, and air

THE FEEDING VALUE OF ROOTS.

There are many substances which if
chemical analysis be taken as the sole
guide for feeding value, would appear
to be ideal rations, yet it is sometimes
found that either the animals will re-
fuse to eat them altogether, or fail to
do well when restricted to them, writes
Fl. W. Mumford, of Michigan. 1t is
important, then, that foods should be
appetizing, that they should be
relished by the stock Again, one
cannot consistently advise the use of
articles of food, at least to any con-
siderable extent, unless it can be
proftably produced or purchased at a
comparatively reasonable figure in the
markets.
The chemical analysis of roots has
proven satisfactory, they are relished
by stock, they can be proftably
grown, and when fed out to farm ami
mails experience has shown that the
results obtained have come up to all
reasonable expectations. find them
valuable as food for all farm stock
Horses soon learn to like them and
it has been a custom with me to feed
about two good-sized roots to horse
every day. All the young cattle get
rutabagas, seldom more than sixty
pounds of cut roots day, depending
on the age and size of the animal.
| aim to feed the COWS on what sugar
beets they will eat up clean. The
brood SOW gets few roots every day
and seems to eat and relish them as
well as grain. Poultry are fond of a
light feed of finely chopped beets at
frequent intervals.
While I advocate tae feeding of
roots to all farm animals, where sue
culent food in some other form Is not
available, yet | believe that roots are
pre-eminently most valuable and an
economic food-for sheep. At the
Michigan experiment station, in an
experiment conducted to ascertain the
relative value of ensilage and roots
for fattening lambs, the roots gave
much the most marked results. Not
only this, but the economic value of
roots as factor in the ration of fat
tening lambs was conclusively proven.
1t is very expensive to construct q
silo and get suitable machinery, while
in raising and feeding roots no great
initial outlay Is occasioned and the
roots furnish valuable succulent food.

TO KEEP THE NESTS AND EGGS CLEAN.

TO KEEP THE NESTS AND EGGS CLEAN.
AS those eggs which are the cleanest
and brightest looking usually bring
the highest price when marketed, the
keeping of the nest clean, so that the
eggs may be SO, is no doubt one way
by which you can make your eggs
bring higher price than those of
your neighbors. There is no secret
whatever to be found out in order to
accomplish this, as all that one will
have to do is to be watchful and see
that whatever you may keep in your
nest to make it soft is changed when
ever it may be needful. The eggs can
never be clean if.the nest is dirty but
if the nest is clean you will undoubt-
edly find the eggs SO, hence it is in
the nest the work will have to be done
in order that the "hen fruit" may
have that clear, bright and clean ap-
pearance which catches the eye of the
consumer. To keep the nest clean is
very easy matter; all that will be
needed is to change the hay, straw, or
leaves, or whatever may be used, about
once week. When you are cleaning
out the nest in this manner good idea
would be to give it thick coat of
whitewash. This Will make it look
better and will also drive away from
the vicinity of the nest the lice, which
are SO troublesome to the hens when
laying. New York Witness.
