The buildings on farm should be
rs commodious and practically beauti.
ful as the farmer is able to Luild. In
some States the farms have indifferent
houses, but large and elegant barns,
ii the term elegant may be used in
such connection. This plan is not
to be commended. The most valuable
crop grown upon the farm is the crop
that is growing in the house, and it
should be housed in building that is
as perfect that mechanism and OBJ.
servance of the laws of hygiene can
make it. There is plenty of room on
the farm for the construction of the
house, and it should be built of suffi-
cient size to permit of large, airy
rooms, if the pocket book will admit
of such structure. The cellar de-
serves more attention than it usually
receives. A hole in the ground is not
necessarily such as should be under
house. 1t should never be forgotten
that the dampness and odors of this
hole will permeate the whole house.
Bad cellars have been the cause of an
immense amount OF disease and death.
On ground that is not naturally abso-
lutely dry--and there is comparative.
ly little such ground, and is exclu-
sively found in the arid sections--the
outside of the cellar wall should be
cemented to keep out the water. 1t
should contain cement floor. If
there is no cement floor, at the bot
tom of the wall fiat stones should be
laid to extend few inches beyond
the wall. This will be an absolute
prevention of the entrance of rats at
the bottom of the wall. The rat when
it enters at the bottom of the wall al.
ways goes straight down the side,
straight down the side, and it does
not know enough to go outside the
protruding stone. II there is cement
floor that precaution will not be neces-
sary. A cellar thus constructed will
be dry, and if the entrance is proper
ly guarded, which It always should
be, 1t will be rat proof.-The Epito.

Who wants fine tropical island in
the West Indies-a veritable "Pearl
Of the Antilles?" Such an island now
belongs to Uncle Sam, but nobody
lives ON it except lighthouse keeper,
and nobody seems to care anything
about it. 1t is lying down there in
the Southern seas waiting for some
enterprising homesteader to come
along and stake out his claim.
Mona has q luxuriant vegetation. is
well watered and well drained. Every
variety of tropical fruits will grow
here, and it possesses every natural
advantage that could make life easy
and pleasant. 1t has an area of fifteen
miles-nearly 10000 acres.
Mona lies forty-two miles due east
of Porto Rico, in the middle of Mona
Passage, to which 1t gives its name.
and which is one of the highways of
travel in the West Indies, being the
widest break in the great coral reef
that joins the Antilles like string of
beads.
Mona comes to the United States by
virtue OF the second clause in the peace
treaty, which cedes "the island of
Porto Rico and other islands now un-
der Spanish sovereignty in the West
indies" 1t has been celebrated in
West Indian history for hundreds of
years, and just why it remained unin-
habited except by nomadic fisher folk
Is hard to surmise. Nevertheless it
is true that here are nearly ten thou.

FARM TOPICS /
A skimmiik Starter.

The method of making a skimmilk
starter, taught by the Ohio dairy
school, j think is about as successful
as any. Four or five clean pint Jars
are filed with milk from different
patrons or different cans. These are
covered and placed in warm place
until they are coagulated. They are
then examined and tasted, and one
selected which meets the require
ments. Then can OF skimmilk equal
to six or eight per cent. of the amount
of cream You expect to ripen the next
day. This is placed in tank of water
heated by steam until the milk reaches
pasteurizing temperature, 155 degrees.
1t is then allowed to stand ten or fif-
teen minutes, then placed in cold
water and cooled to seventy-fve or
eighty degrees, and n selected jar of
good sour milk added. II kept up to
proper temperature in twenty-four
hours the entire amount will be soured
in the same condition, ready for use
MS a starter. The starter is kept ten
days or two weeks, or as long as il re-
mains good, by pasteurizing more
milk each day and adding a dipperful
Of the old starter. &C. II. Eckles, Of
the Iowa Dairy School, before the
