The fact that dairy cows should be

for that, for if you do not get the job

CARING FOR HOUSE PLANTS.
a Few Suggestions as to How They
Can he Made to Do Well.

a Few Suggestions as to How They
Can he Made to Do Well.
In order to have the best success in
growing house plants for the windows
in winter, the first thing is good. healthy
plants, free from insects. People often
fail to revive sickly plant. The aim
should be to get good soil from the
florist or from a pasture. 1t matters
not whether it be geranium or a palm.
the best OF care is necessary for sue
cess. Nothing is more beautiful than
a window filed with fine Towering
plants in Inidwinter, but to have lot
of plants three feet high, not a leaf on
them, is not inviting, and they require
as much care as the healthy plants.
The practice of most plant buyers is
to get them of the florist in the spring,
plant them in the garden, and let them
grow all summer. When the first frost
comes they will lift the large plants,
full of bud and bloom, out of the ground
and pot them. In few days the plants
begin to lose their foliage and wilt. The
best way to do is to cut away about two
thirds of the plant and make them
start new roots and new growth, though
it puts off Towering for some time.
The best way to have good house plants
is to buy what are wanted in May, put
in good-sized pots. and plunge the pots
in the earth. See that good drainage is
obtained, put a small board on the bot
tom to keep out the worms, and about
every two weeks turn around to keep
the roots from going through the bot
tom of pot. Keep well watered through
the summer and by fall you will have
fine plants that will produce more flow
ers than half a dozen poor ones. The
best plants for Towering in winter are
geraniums, Chinese primroses, Gala,
cyclamens, cineraria, carnations. Easter
lilies, hlium, freesias, begonias and
many others.
Insects should never be seen on
plants. Regular use of tobacco smoke
at least twice each week will drive them
away. The red spider often does much
mischief before he is discovered. A dry.
hot atmosphere favors his production.
To prevent him keep the plants moist
and syringe them. Bulbs, ferns, palms,
ETC., make good plants for home culture.
Most house plants do well in an average
temperature of not more than so degrees
at night, with 20 or 25 degrees higher in
the daytime. Plants are often. put in
the cellar for the winter. They will live,
but not make as good plant as a cut
ting rooted in March. We have to watch
them closely in the greenhouses. If men
in the florist business could raise plants
by putting them under a bench in the
winter they would get rich in few
years. Towering plants need the best
sunlight, while foliage plants will thrive
without the bright sun. Plants should

and cover during cold nights. The
frame is left open all day unless the
weather is too severe; but during the
cold days and nights it should have
some extra covering and during the Sc
we're weather may remain covered a
week at time. The greatest care Is
then needed. for, if the sun is very
warm, they need constant ventilation
during the day to prevent them from
burning. Thus arranged, they should
thrive with all outside climate of from
10 to Is degrees below zero. A hotbed
is made with the same frame, but with
a different filling. If used for spring
plants. vegetables. the very best of fine
mold should be secured this fall and in

UNFERMENTED GRAPE JUICE.
A Refreshing and Hea1thfuI Drink
That Is Made and Preserved Easily.

a Refreshing ana Health1uI DIRK
That Is Made and Preserved Easily.
One of the most refreshing and
healthful of drinks is unfermented
grape juice. 1t is made with so little
labor, and grapes can be purchased in
quantities at so small a cost, that it
may always be kept on hand. 1t is
especially palatable when served with
cracked ice, and, if desired, the addition
of little lemon juice.
To prepare grape juice-pick the
grapes from their stems, throw to one
side the poor ones, wash the whole ones,
and drop them into a porcelain-lined
kettle. Pour cold water over them IN
til they are barely covered. Place the
kettle over the fire and let the grapes
cook slowly until they are tender
enough to break easily. Then mash
them with a wooden mallet or spoon.
Turn the crushed fruit into a cheese
cloth bag and let the juice drip over
night. Measure the juice and put it
into the preserving kettle, place the
kettle over the fire and allow. its con-
tents to boil 20 minutes. Weigh as
many ounces of granulated sugar as
there are quarts of juice. When the
juice has cooked the required length
Of time, add the sugar and boil ten
minutes longer; then bottle the juice
and seal the bottles.
formula for making grape wine is
thus: Remove the grapes from the
stems and reject all those that are i'm
perfect. Wash the grapes and put them
into large stone crock and mash them,
using a wooden masher for the pur-
pose. Cover the crock with a coarse
netting and place it in an even tempera-
ture until fermentation begins; then
turn them into colander and extract
all the liquid from the skins and seeds.
Strain the liquid and add to it granu-
lated sugar in the proportion of two
and one-half pounds to each quart of
juice, then add water enough to make
one gallon. Pour this liquid into a
demijohn, reserving enough of the
liquid in some other vessel to replenish
the demijohn, for when fermentation
takes place the wine works off and the
demijohn should be kept full. The wine
should not be bottled for three or four
months, and often not for longer. if it
is kept in very cold place. as all fer
mentation should cease before it is bot.

THE FARMING WORLD.
COWS FOR THE DAIRY.
How They Are Selected at the Mime
sota Exnerimenf Station.

How They Are Selected at the Mime
sofa Experiment. Station.
We must first determine what we
want the animals for, and then select
those which are adapted for that par
ticular purpose. AT the university we
keep a careful account of the cost of
keeping each cow of the herd, with
view of determining the cost of a
pound of butter made from the milk of
each COW. The cost varied from eight
to twelve cents a pound, some animals
costing so per cent. more than others in
producing a pound of butter. We di-
vided the herd into two classes and
found that the division that cost the
most to produce butter had a tendency
to put on flesh more than the others.
In order to be doubly sure that our
conclusions were correct, we made a
second test with .the same result. Now,
why was this? I examined the two
classes individually and found that
the spare built cow. with a deep body,
was the best dairy cow. In both divi-
sions all breeds of cows were repre-
scented. What we wanted to find out,
If possible, was how to be able to tell,
without making a mistake. the animal
that would make butter the cheapest.
Careful investigation developed the
fact that it took one pound of food to
maintain 100 pounds of animal weight,
so that an animal that weighed 900
pounds would digest IS pounds of feed,
required nine pounds to support herself
and should return the remaining nine
pounds to her owner.
We must feed the COW just what she
needs to maintain and produce the
greatest possible amount of milk. select
her food for her, for if you turn her out
where she has access to a straw pile OF
other coarse fodder she will fill he1
stomach with food that she does not
need, and it will occupy the space in the
stomach that should be filed with nu
trinent to produce milk. There is an
other thing L have noticed, and that is
that in examining Jersey herds we
find the animals are generally advanced
in age. Large cows are not as. good
for the dairy, as they have to carry toe
much weight, and it has tendency &c
