HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
TAKE CAM OF TIE PIANO.

Very few persons understand the
care of piano. Hundreds of dollars
Which are annually paid to tuners and
repalrers would be saved by little at.
tention on the parts Of the owners of
instruments.
A piano should be kept in moder.
ately warm room where the tempera.
tuse is even, say sixty or seventy de
grees the year round; not cold one
day and hot the next The instrument
should not, however, be too near the
source of heat. 1t should be kept
closed and covered with felt cloth
when not in use, particularly in frosty
weather.
Always place tho piano against an
inside wall and little ont from it.
Avoid the itineraut tuner. When tun-
ing or repairing is necessary employ
responsible and expert workman. Do
not allow children to drum on IL. A
professional musician may expend II
llko amount of strength upon the key
board, but if the right keys are struck
much less harm is done than when
children amuse themselves. Avoid
httering the top with brio brac, rs
1t affects the tone of the Instrument.
well-known maker recommends
that the case be frequently wiped off
with n chamois skin wrung out in tepid
water. Where the case is very highly
polished and dark this is absolutely
necessary, and little else will serve TO

To remove finger mwks aud blue

4 WONDERFUL GARDEN, THIS

Ing gardens Of Babylon, the modern
roof gardens and the gardens or float
ing islands in which vegetables used to
be grown for the citizens OF ancient
Mexico, but probably few have heard
of garden on board Il ship, with farm
yard attachment. The splendid ship
Mowhan, now in port, and the largest
vessel which has ever been here. had
such an arrangement on board during
her trip TO Oregon. On leaving Belfast
| FOR Portland she took on board as bal
last 1000 tons OF Irish soil, which, when
leveled or made quite stretch Of

provcrbially fertile. the ships company

right and the plants nourishcd finely,
and when the ship was in the tropics

crossed toward the Horn and the
weather grew colder, things came to
perfection rapidly. The crew and ships
apprentices amused themselves by
wedding and cultivating the plants, and
the captain and officers took regular
walks in the garden daily, and all had
green vegetables to their hearts con
tent
AS they came around the Horn the
garden was rcplantcd, and by the time
they reached the equator everything
was abloom. and all hands Toasted on

$50 to $40 per ton, you will be very
much mistaken. The higher the grade
the more concentrated is the fertilizer,
the more actual plant food You get for
IA dollar, and the less of other unim-
portant elements you obtain. Tho
source of your supply. the time and
manner of buying and the quantity
YOU buy, are the main conditions in
huencing the cost per pound of plant
food in standard fertilizers or f.rtiliz-
ing materials. If you buy only a small
lot from a local agent, and expect him
to wait six or twelve months for his
pay, you can rest assured that you will
have to make good the expense of this
method of doin3 business in tho price
you pay him. Or the other hand, If
you should join with q lot OF your
neighbors, put up the spot cash and
invite bids from different manufac-
turers and dealers, you would get
your fertilizer at the lowest price con-
sistent with quality. The earlier you
buy the better terms YOU can make,
FOR manufacturers can afford to do bet
ter by purchaser this month than
they can at the height of the seaEon.

MANURING FOR Roors.

Roots require n large amount of
available nitrogen, but it is never ad-
visable to plow under large quantities
OF stable manure where they are to be
grown. This makes the soil too dry
for the best growth, and it also fur.
nishes most of the nitrogen in the hot
test weather when the roots need it
least. Turnips grow hollow and pithy
when manfred with stable manure. 1t
is also likely to breed worms, which
will attack the roots and make them
worthless for marketing. Soluble
commercial manures that will stimu.
late early growth will pay. Later in
the season the soil, if fairly rich, will
develop enough fertility without man,

SPRING CARE OF LAWNS.

In many sections of the country 1T
is customary TO cover the lawns which
surround the dwelling houses with
stable manure, with the view that the
spring rains may wash the fertility
contained in 1T into the soil. While
this process tends to enrich the lawn,
II Mt the same time makes it very un.
slightly and Objectionable in many
ways as the manure generally brings
many weed seeds in the lawn, and un-
less it is very fine,it mades the growth
of the grass uneven. For small lawns,
especially, high grade comp etc
chemical fertilizer prepared for lawns
is far preferable, anil produces nu i'm

1t is taking wholly unnecessary
trouble to give the first milking of a
newly calved cow to the COW. This
ahould be given to the calf, for which
nature intended it, not only as the
needed food, but as needed medicine
to clear the bowels of the accumulated
matter at the time. 1t is depriving the
calf of its proper nourishment and
