Cork Floors.

Cork, as every one knows, is one Of
the best conductors OF heat or
sound. That it has not been more
widely used in building is due chiefly
to the difficulty of obtaining it in an
unadulterated form. A product called
cork tiling has recently been placed
upon the market, which is made of
what is known to the trade as virgin
cork, ground, compressed and other
wise treated by patented process,
and which is free from the cement and
glue usually employed to hold the
PARTICLES together.
We are informed that tiles made Of
this pure, compressed cork form an
admirable flooring, which, besides
being noiseless, waterproof, warm
and germ proof, is capable of with
standing hard usage. BY varying
the degree of compression and modify.
ing the manufacturing process slightly,
sheets of cork different in color and
density are obtained, which, when
sawed and finished in the form of
panels, can be used for wainscoting
alone, or in connection with cork
floors. Scientific American.

Planning Farm Work.

The farmer should decide upon the
fields no intends to cultivate next sea-
son long before the time comes for
putting the seed in the ground, and
should try to decide what crops he
will put upon them. In making his
decision, he should consider not only
the adaptation of the soil to the crop,
but how the work upon the various
crops can be so planned that be will
not have too many irons in the fire.
We know something about it, for we
have been there and have had to plow
up fair-looking crop while growing,
because it was so weedy as not to be
worth hoeing, as we had been busy
on another field. But the best plans
may be changed sometimes when one
has TO do with anything so tickle as
the New England weather. Even in
sects may force change, as we were
once forced to change an onion bed
into a squash field, because the onlon
maggot had appeared in such num-
bers that we saw the crop would be q
failure. We admire perseverance,
but there is such thing as being too
obstinate, and striving against the in
evitable. Give up when fairly beaten,
and try to retrieve fortune in some
other way. American Cultivator.

Frequent Milking.

II has been we'll established by
numerous experiments by scientists,
that tho longer time that elapses be-
tween milkings, the less solids will
the COW secrete in her milk, says
Hoard's Dairyman. Those who have
made tests of COWS for purposes of
competition have also noticed that a
COW will give considerable increase in
solids, as well as in quantity of milk
flow, if she is MIXED three times a
day instead Of twice.
The physiological laws, which in
fiuenco and govern the flow of milk,
should meet with much more study
by COW owners than is done. We are
too apt to go along in careless and
indifferent manner, forgetting that
our success with the COW can be
greatly increased or diminished there
by. Every man who milks COW is
dealing with one of the most complex
and delicate machines in existence
He ought to be sincere, earnest stu
dent of the wonderful varying forces
which may affect that machine to his
profit or loss.

Tho Deadly High Heel.

In the feet vanity too often pays a
price which is dangerously expensive.
The high-heeled shoe is made in de-
lance of the relation it ought to bear
to the anatomy of the foot and to the
direction in which the pressure of the
body's weight falls upon it. The
boot or shoe, that it may not slip upon
the foot, which by the high heel is
deprived of its usual purchase of di-
rect downward pressure, is made to
hold with undue flrmness just above
tho back of tho heel. Chatting of a
delicate skin is readily produced.
This, though in itself II trihe, may
lead to graver troubles. Inhamma-
tion of the leg with abscess formation
not infrequently follows, and the OK
citing cause has been traced to the
patients shoe. Assesses forming
around somo neglected trihe of this
kind have sometimes ended fatally. ---

IThc Flare win Not Diminish.

The flare around the lower portion
OF the dress skirt, which continues to
cling about the hips, will increase
rather than diminish as the spring
and summer styles appear. Around
the bottom of some of the French ac-
cordion-plaited models rows of mar
row plated frills are arranged, and
these give decidedly wavy spread
ing effect to the skirt below the knees.
Machine stitched or piped ruffles
will also aid in producing this flare,
and not only will these trimmings,
plain or lace edged, be set upon the
skirt, but they will likewise appear
upon the silk or muslin petticoat worn
with the frilled gown.

hatohing, they are contented with

Matching, they are contented with
that.
In this way some strains Of pure
bred fowl may have been so kept and
managed that they produce less
number Of eggs IN year than they
would under better conditions, and as
the chickens inherit the propensities
of the parent and the grand parents
they deteriorate in productiveness, as
much as a herd of dairy cattle would
if kept in such way that they were
not up to their standard in milk pro-
duction.
But because certain strains under
this management do not produce many
eggs, it does not disprove the state.
ment with which we began. Place
the pure-bred hens and chickens un-
der the care of q good feeder, and in
three generations they can be made to
produce more eggs than can be pro.
duced by any cross bred or scrub bred
fowl. BY selection of eggs from the
best layers among them, this can be
brought about, and the poultry keeper
who expects to grow chickens next
spring should begin this winter to
feed his hens for egg production, and
should watch them to see which to
save eggs from for Matching. We
have never attained the twenty dozen
year mark, and never expect to, for
we cannot devote our time to the
poultry yard, but we believe it to be
possible and desirable and think it
possible without losing any of the
fancy points called for by the poultry
standard, though it might take long.
er time if we tried to combine the
fancy points and the egg production at
the same time than it would be if we
only selected the best layers without
regard to the markings, as it would
limit our number to select from.

Pruning Apple rreos In Winter.

There has been great deal of argu-
ment as to which is the best season
for pruning apple trees. Some as
sert that the work should be done at
n certain period, while others are
equally emphatic that some other sea-
son is much to be preferred, says
writer in the Mississippi Valley
Democrat. And there are great many,
in all, who think that the man who
advised that the pruning be done
"when the tools are sharp" was
about right. 1t is true that the ex-
perts assure us that pruning should
be commenced when the tree is small,
and be so closely followed, year after
year, that there will be no necessity
for removing branches of much size,
even after the tree has reached its
full growth. Doubtless this is all
right from the experts point of view.
For the man who is nble to give his
whole time and attention to the care
Of his orchard there may not be n
better plan. Such q man can watch
his growing trees, and with pruning
knife, or shears, or at most fine
toothed saw, he can keep the top of
the tree i'll good shape aud cau prevent
the growth of branches which would
prove useless or worse than useless,
if they were allowed to remain upon
the tree, instead of being destroyed
when they were bnds or only small
shoots. But the man whose principal
business is farming and whose time is
largely occupied with the cultivation
of the soil and the care of live stock,
finds such course is altogether i'm
practical. He wants and ought to
have, something of an orchard, but
he must care for it more in general
way and at "odd jcbs," rather than
follow the elaborate methods which
the professional fruit grower finds it
desirable, or perhaps, even necessary,
to adopt
For tho reason above noted, the
great majority of farm orchards need
pruning, and, while it is easy to over
do the work, great many of them
need good deal of labor TO bring the
trees into the best possible condition
for future usefulness. When this
work shall DO done is a question for
each owner to answer for himself,
AMI the answer, if it be wise and
malicious ono, win depend very large
! ~ upon his location and circum-
stances. If located in the far north
the farmer will not attempt to do
much with his apple trees until the
next spring ia fairly opened This,
| for the double reason, that during the
winter tho cold is much too severe to
work in the tree tops with any degree
of comfort, and because when low
temperatures prevail the removal OF
branches at this season would be al
most sure to permanently iniure the
trees.

The use of the separator is doing
much toward making winter dairying
profitable. II it is properly managed
NIL the butter can be taken from the
milk, or so near it as to amount to a
loss of about one pound in thousand,
while the old system of setting the
milk in a room where it might freeze
often caused loss of two or three
pounds in hundred, and sometimes
the butter refused to come at all, or
was worth but little when it did come.
With separator and all the other i'm
proved appliances in the dairy room,
knowledge of what is good food, and
all the other dairy information which
has been disseminated in the past
twenty years it would seem as if the
dairymen should have an easy and a
profitable business, much better than
we had twenty years ago.

Convict Labor ON Roads

Effective use of convict labor in
roadmaking is reported from Colum
bia, s. c., where an average of eighty
prisoners has been employed in this
work for the past two years. Last
year thirty-one miles of road radiating
from the city were remade, graded,
ditched, laid with sand on clay OF
clay on sand, and converted into
smooth and satisfactory highways,
capable with timely and systematic
care OF indefinite maintenance in good
condition. During the preceding
year fully ten miles had been remade,
so that Low there are over forty miles
of these permanent roads leading out
of Columbia. With the levy asked
for the mileage can be doubled this
year, the work Oh each road being
taken up at its present terminus, from
five to seven miles from the city, and
carried an equal distance beyond. BY
following this plan every main road
in the county can be remade in from
three to four years more. Columbia
is now far more accessible by highway
than it has ever been, comments the
State of that city; "a fact daily evi-
denced by the number of wagons and
carts coming to and going from the
city, the traffic on certain roads at
certain hours assuming professional
proportions. New York Post.

Three years test at the Virginia ex-
pertinent station seems to warrant the
conclusion that potatoes grown with
out fertilizers contain the greatest
amount of dry matter. The addition
OF fertilizer tends to diminish the dry
matter in proportion to the amount
applied. Potatoes grown with sulphate
of potash contain moro dry matter than
where muriate was used. The ash did
not appear to be affected to any nppre
ciable extent and the same is truo of
starch. Neither the kind nor the
amount OF fertilizer seemed to have
any effect upon the percentage of nj
trogen, phosphoric acid and potash,
but the percentage of chlorine was
considerably higher when muriate of
potash was used and increased with
the amount applied.
