Caring For Ferns.

A good many ferns that live in
rooms during the winter come to grief
because they are kept warmer than is
good for them. The atmosphere is
dry and arid, and quite opposite to
the natural conditions under which
most ferns live. A very little thought
would show us how different are the
conditions we are providing. Ferns
greatly enjoy the slight relief afforded
by an hour or two in a moister atmos.
phere than we aim at in our living.
rooms, and will be improved aud
freshened by such change.
Many ferns that are cultivated in
the ordinary greenhouse will grow
we'll in rooms If they get a good share
of light and are not too parched. They
cannot be grown in q room in which
there is fire daily oil through the
winter and spring. Ferns are also
much spoiled by over watering at the
roots. Although we find them, both
at home and abroad, in fairly moist
positions, their roots are almost al
ways upon bank and beneath trees
or hedges that would throw showers
and absorb the greater part of the
moisture. None of our ferns will grow
in a sodden soil. Nor is it well to
have them in pealy soil alone.
II we cannot sponge over the fronds
of our feathery growing ferns, we can
give them an occasional wash with
the syringe and tepid water. Once
allow them to get dusty and dry, their
pores choked and kept in an arid at.
mosphere for long time, they will
soon show thin and unhealthy con-
dition.-New England Florist.

A taste can be cultivated among peo-
pie which will create demand for
evaporated raspbcrries, or the oppo-
site, no demand at all. As raspber-
ries are generally taken to the evapo-
rator they are comparatively worthless
so far as quality of the fruit is con.
cerned. The reason for this is that
they are allowed to dry up on the
bushes too much before they are
picked, often being knocked off when
they are part dry. thus leaving q con-
siderable amount of pieces of dry
leaves, hulls, worms, etc.. among
them. A raspberry, to be in tho best
condition for evaporating, should bt
we'll cultivated during picking season,
and the cultivator run as shallow as
possible, stirring all the surface so as
to keep the moisture in the soil, that
large, plump and juicy berries may be
obtained They should be picked
when fully ripe, but not let stay on the
bushes any longer. Then all the juices
which are so valuable to frst-class
article of evaporated fruit are retained.
l have no doubt that il evaporators
would insist on their berries being
picked as described above, it would
not be long before the demand for their
particular brand of berries would be
doubled, as this point commission
men and dealers arc being more care
full about now than at any time in the
past. do not understand how an
honest man can place his berries on
the market in IN evaporated form after
letting the most Of them dry up on the
bushes before running through the
evaporator, thus leaving them in a
seedy and chippy condition. Charles

Farm life may often be made more
attractive by the use of taste in the
growing OF flowers and shrubs around
the house. When we went out of
town upon our farm few years ago
we set out purple clamatis. As we
intended to make some changes in the
house, we at first gave the plant O
place in the yard, putting up ladder
for its support. The shrub BIOS
somed the very first year, and how
beautiful it was. When we had fin.
ished the changes in the house, we
took the clematis up aud set it out at
the side of the porch, with wire net
ting to climb upon; there it has since
grown. Every year it has blossomed
profusely. do..not think there was
another plant of the kind for miles
around. People passing by would
stop to admire the beautiful thing and
ask what it was. In short time
number of such plants were intro.
duced in the neighborhood. so that
now many homes are made more at
tractive by its lovely blossoms.

We have all passed by many places
where the only ornament about the
house was long row of weeds or un-

fence, s re refuge for worms and in
scots of various kinds. Why not cut
these out and put in their stead few
aowersp We must learn to do all we
can to make the home attractive il we
would keep our boys and girls ON the

toward doing this. For the money
