Seeding Newly Cleared Land.

Where land is newly cleared of it's
tree growth and is full of stumps it is
important to have it seeded as quickly
as possible, unless it is intended to let
it grow up into forest again. The
stumps will prevent all cultivation or
attempts to cultivate for several years.
If the land is not seeded with clover
and grasses, it will be with weeds
Some timothy should always be sown
with clover, as the latter soon runs out.
Some object that the stumps do not rot
so fast when there is sod around them;
but that is a small matter compared
with keeping the land free from pesti-
lent weeds.-American Cultivator.

elaborate house. which can be made
according to the number Of birds for
which it is required. The illustration
explains itself, and the space under the
floor is Of great advantage, as it gives
protection from the weather and is
much appreciated by the birds. The
house should be removed every few
days on to fresh ground. 1t will be
noted that two important points, light
and ventilation, have received attention
from the designer of this house. Strong
handles placed at each end would ia
cilitate removal, or the house could
readily be fixed on wheels. If CORFU

A dress pattern always makes nice
present. and can be bought in box
for that purpose.
Silver handles for tooth brushes are
arranged so that the brushes fit into
them, and can be renewed whenever
necessary.
Electricity can be utilized for table
decoration in wonderful ways. Nina
ture icebergs, surrounding an electric
light. produce a beautiful effect, and
lights can be arranged among ferns so
that they resemble cloud of firefies.
Fresh stains upon wall paper where
people have rested their heads can be
removed by covering the spot with a
mixture Of pipeclay and water made
into a soft paste and letting it remain
over night Then brush it off with
stiff whisk broom.
A pretty and effective decoration for

of scarlet barberries. They were in

of the long table. Sprays of small ivy
were laid across the table and tied with
knots of scarlet ribbons.
A very convenient article to have in
a house is a smooth, strong stick about
forty inches long, with a deep notch in

brushed and replaced, thus saving the
climbing up and down on step-ladder,
which is so tiresome to woman.
Among the latest uses to which fresh
bread has been put is to furnish sdecora-

is said that these bread blossoms are
excellent limitations when first made
and artistically colored. AS the bread
becomes old the flowers take on faded
look, which makes them still more true
to nature.
