Casting Farm Accounts.

Towards the close of each year the
farmer should initiate other business
men. take an account Of stock, and esti-
mate as closely as he can how he stands
financially compared with previous
years. Do not omit this because the
account may not present so favorable a
showing as you would like. Not to be
willing to face facts is cowardly and
unmanly, even though those facts seem
greatly against us. Seed time and har-
vest do not fail to the farmer He at
least is sure of bis living. If he be free
from debt he is really the most indie
pendent citizen.

Hard-NIilkinc Cows.

There is nothing more provocative Of
profanity than to milk a hard-milking
COW, especially if she is a kicker, as the
hard mixer is apt to be. Farmers who
pray that they be not led into tempta-
ton ought to give more care to the kind
Of COWS they keep for their boys and
hired men to milk. 1t is q pretty seri-
Gus business putting temptations to
swear in other peoples way. There is
another reason why the hard-milking
COW is not likely to be profitable. To
easy-going people, too good tempered to
be profane, the temptation takes an
other form, that is not to swear at the
COW, but to stop milking her before all
the milk is exhausted. Thus many a
COW has dried up prematurely and new
er given her owner any profit, while if
she had been an easy mixer she had
the capacity to become as good a COW as
any in the dairy.-American Cultivator.

How to Hang Pictures.

An artist being asked for a simple
rule for hanging pictures, gave the fol-
lowing directions: "The height, size
and decorat ton Of the room should be
taken into account but it is best, where
only one row of pictures is hung, to
have the central point in each on level
with the eye of the ordinary person.
For instance, in vignette portrait the
central point is the chin. You can make
no mistake about the point in any pic
ture, for the eye inyoluntarily rests
upon it at the first glance. That re-
minds ne to speak Of a frequent error
on the part Of trainers who lack artistic
knowledge. This central point should
be at the exact intersection of two dag
onal lines drawn from the corners Of
the frame, not the mat. Many pictures
appear to those who know this rule as
if they were slipping out Of their
frames. Rural World.

A Valuable Object Lesson.

At recent American Institute fair at
New York City, the State Experiment
Station made an extensive display Of
fruit, grown on the station grounds.
There were 225 varieties of apples, each
specimen having been selected as typic-
al in shape, size, color, marking and
general characteristics of the variety
represented. The fruit was the result
of the highest knowledge OF culture and
care and treatment known to the bust
ness. The collection was an object les
son in fruit lore of unmeasured value
to those in search of knowledge in this
special direction. This station is doing
a double service in thus giving to the
public exhibits of their work; first in
testing the varieties and showing their
merits, and second in giving an object
lesson Of their type and characteristics.

Corn Husks for Beds.

There is no nicer cheap mattress than
husks which every farmer can save
while doing the fall husking. They are
much cleaner and more durable than
straw mattresses, and to most people
more pleasant than the iron mattresses
bed has an iron mattress, it is likely to
be the direct point at which lightning
will aim when it strikes a house. We
believe if farmers made more of their
corn husks into mattresses, they would
get well paid for their labor when peo-
pie learned where they could be had.

Hog Lice.

1 have been troubled great deal to
get rid Of hog lice, and the best way l
have found yet, that is a success, is this:
my pigs are not troubled with them so
much in the warm weather as cold: |
put one-fourth kerosene oil and three
fourths water and a little sulphur, and,
when I have warm day in the winter,
apply behind the ears and front legs,
on the flank and root of tail. Give them
a clean bed at the same time. After
two or three applications find the lice
gone and nits killed. | have no hog
lice now, and my herd is in the best
condition it ever was.-W. III. W., in

Art of Drawing Tea.

Not one American in a thousand I'M
derstands the art Of making teal In
the first place the tea leaf should never
touch metal. It should be kept in wood,
glass or porcelain. To make it, place a
small quantity in porcelain cup, fill
up with boiling water, cover tightly
and let stand for four or five minutes.
If you are an epicure you will brew
afresh each cupful as you drink it. Do
not use sugar. Do not use milk. 1t
spoils the favor Of the tea and ruins
the digestion. Do not boil tea, as the
heat drives away the fragrance and ex-
tracts the astringent principle. Do not
let tea stand except in a perfectly tight
porcelain pot. Make it in small quaint
ties as you drink it.-Columbian.

place a thick block across the hounds;
the thicker the better. This takes the
strain off the hounds. Let the pole rest

The accompanying sketch shows two
brackets arranged outside of a window
in such a way that the window box,
within can be pushed out into the open
air when the window is raised The
brackets have grooved tops, as shown
in the diagram, so the box slides with
out danger of falling. It is a great adj
vantage to be thus able to slide the
window box out Of doors SO easily, for.
the fresh air, gentle rain or shower

cred with apple trees, some of which
are quite old. For several years no
crops have been raised on the land. For
few weeks in the spring it is used for
pasturing cows, and during portion of
the summer and fall sheep are given the
run of the field. They lie under the
shade of the trees greater part of the
day, where good share of their drop
pings is left, which seem to be a great
benefit to the trees, and all Wormy and
defective aples are quickly eaten as
soon as they fall. l now raise more

Chopped onions are beneficial if fed
to your stock occasionally.
Squads are ready for market as soon
as they are we'll feathered just before
they leave the nest.
Provide your poultry with warm
coop and q good scratching place if
you want eggs in winter.
White Wyandottes lay brown shelled
eggs as rule. They are equal to Plym-
outh Rocks in this respect.
In order to secure satisfactory re-
suits it is customary to mate cockerels
with hens, and cocks with pullets.
Never use kerosene on the body of a
fowl. Lard alone is sufficient. AL
greasy substances will soil the feath-

Storing Vegetables in Easements.

Storing Vegetables in Easements.
Farmers who are fortunate enough to
have barn easements miss the best adj
vantage of them if they do not use the
basement to store a great variety Of
roots and vegetables there, and thus re-
lieve the house cellar Of the unpleasant
and also unhealthful odors from stored
and fermenting vegetation. 1t is not
hard to keep a deep basement free OF
frost all winter. If the basement is
near the surface, q bank of earth out
side enclosing an air space will keep
frost out. In the very coolest weather a
few corn stalks thrown over vegetables
or roots or some loose blankets over
these will protect them sufficiently.

it can if planted then. 1t is best not
to sow early enough to have the seed

sown lettuce with pretty thick covering
has wintered safely in winters moder-

keep the lettuce covered.
