HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.

BEST TEMPERATURE FOR HOUSE PLANTS,
It is curious fact that plants in
growing seem to require o steady in
crease in heat. May is warmer than
April, June is warmer than May and
July is usually warmer still. In
August it seems to be still warmer,
and yet we notice that all our native
plants really grow less in August than
in July. This is accounted for by the
fact that the nights (the cool timel are
growing longer. Hardy plants begin
in August to ripen their wood and
perfect their leaf and fruit buds for
the next year. Growth is really less,
and keeps growing less through August
and September because the average
temperature is growing less. These
points are worth remembering now
when we are preparing to plant seeds
in the house for window plants. Be-
gin to plant as soon as the season
turns Christmas week. and then
slowly raise the temperature as the
plants grow, through January, Febru.
ary and March, SO that the plants will
find IN the house the same gradual in
creaee in heat that they would find out
" doors in spring and early summer.

of grazing ground on the farm, and
capable OF holding more stock IN pro-
portion than any other part OF the
iarm. Here the bird remain year IN
and year out, and are only collected
aud brought together, on the average,
once every four months.
These occasions are, let us say, IN
June, to pluck prime feathers. BY
these we mean the long whites, num-
herring from eighteen to twenty in each
wing. eight or nine fancy feathers,
and few long blacks, all taken at the
same time. Four months later, the
stumps of these feathers sre drawn
out, and two months later sgain-thst
is. six months after the Primes-the
short blacks and tail feathers are
taken. OF these it is impossible to
give any accurate number. AS rule,
YOU pluck as many as possible with.
out inaicting pain on the bird, and at
| the same time leaving enough to keeI

Iron made in Alabama is steadily
pushing its way into the markets OF
the old world, the latest order being
1000 tons for shipment to India, notes
the New York Mail and Express.
Liverpool, Rotterdam and Genoa have
already made liberal purchases OF the
furnace product of the South, and
there is likely to be.a still further de-
mand for it in those and other Euro
pean cities. The unexampled cheap
ness of production in Alabama and
Tennessee is gradually but surely rev.
olutionizing the manufacture OF the
cheaper grades of pig iron in this coun'

tion is bound to be greatly accelerated

An ostrich, like most other animals,

fees at the appearance of anything

il becomes docile, aud after a time

From June up to September, or, IN
fact. till Christmas, thousands OF
chicks are reared every year, and
thousands meet with death every year
from some form of accident. Chicks
up to twelve months old die from
various maladies, but seldom after
they are full grown are they the VIC

Physicians and scientists agree that

gestible than old bread. declares the
American Farmer. . In Germany there
ID law that NO bread must be solo be-
fore it is day old. The Americans
are credited with making the worst
bread in all the world, anyway, and,
besides, they consume an inordinate
ousntity of hot bread, and on the
bread question generally, seem to be
below the average in civilization. The
American bread is soggy and heavy,
and has too little crust to be truly
hygienic, and, furthermore, the line

tive value. All that goes to make
teeth and bone and to build up e fine
