malicious wit: On one occasion, when
Lord Alvanley was his guest, the din

furnished. whereas the dinner was but
a very meager one. While many Of the
guests were complmenting their host
on his taste and magnlhcence Lord Al.

Geraniums are readily grown from
seed, and strong plants are obtained in
this manner at a trifing expense. Sow
the seed in the hotbeds, transplant into
a bed of fine rich soil, and you will
have blooming plants in August; and If
you carefully pot them they will serve
you well for winter blooming. The
finest heliotropes are grown in this
manner, a paper of seed furnishing a
large bed Of magnificent plants that
bloom freely and seem more fragrant
than those pot-grown.

As a general rule flower beds are too
large for the number of plants placed
in them, and the result is that they pre-
sent mass of bare ground until two
or three weeks before frost A small
bed, close and perfect, is much prettier
than a large one which reveals not only
a large expanse Of bare ground but the
naked stems and defective leaves at the
base Of the plants. Much can be done
toward thickening up bed by judicious
pinching back. This is especially true
of coleus and geraniums. BY pinchlng
back however, is not meant the taking
off Of huge slips or ends of branches.
Simply pinch out the minute leaves and
centre of each shoot and the plant VIII
at once throw out branches from the
lower axils, and these shoots can again
be pinched until the plant has acquired
the requisite breadth. If growth Is not
vigorous some fine manure should be
worked in, or the bed watered with
LIQUID manure. Frequent stirring or
the soil is just as beneficial for flowers
as for vegetables.

For producing a fine effect on the
lawn there Is nothing superior to the
hardy ornamental grasses, and the very
best Of these is the Erianthus Raven
nae; it is quite as desirable for its
plumes as the Pampas grass, which has
to be protected in the winter. Then
there are two japanese grasses, Eulalia
Japoniea Variegata and Eulalia Zeb-
rina, one being marked with yellow
bands, longitudinally, the other across
the leaf. Both are hardy, and both In
crease in beauty from year to year. The
old-fashioned ribbon grass, if kept with
in bounds, can be made very ornamen-
tai and useful and is wonderfully ef-
feetive if placed in clumps with the
crimson peony, or as border to clumps
of foreign grasses.

Milk absorbs odor from the moment
It is drawn from the COWS until the
time It Is churned. Whenever milk
reaches the temperature Of 100 it is
claimed to be in an active state Of de-
composition. But, while milk is easily
affected by outside influences, the ad-
herents to strict rules of cleanliness
will greatly aid the dairyman to avoid
the changes that often occur. Cooling
the milk renders the germs inactive,
and prevents decomposition for while,
but it should not be overlooked that
milk absorbs odors very rapidly when
cool. Exposure to odors, gases orvolaule
matter of any kind should, therefore,
be avoided. and every utensn used in
the dairy should be scalded with boiling
water and thoroughly secured.

To have young pigs to come during
the extremely cold weather of this sea-
son is TO entail watchfulness and care
upon the farmer to save them. There
are many difficulties in the way Of sue
cess with them now, as they are less
active, and, therefore, more liable 10
injuries from the dam. Should the SOW
fail to provide sufficient nourishment
the pigs may perish on a severe day
owing to insufficient bodily heat Should
they occasionally become chilled the re-
suit will be either diarIhoea or cold on
the bowels. When stunted in growth
for want Of food or insufficient warmth
the pigs will make no growth until the
spring opens and the weather becomes
favorable, and but little profit will re-
suit unless there is careful manage
ment
A mistake is often made by setting
the lawn-mower to cut too short, and
there is not enough Of leaf-growth left

given by cutting little higher and the
lawn is made more like velvet, while
there would be less danger Of the earth
below being dried or burnt by exposure
to the sun. Owners and gardeners are
sometimes puzzled to know what to do
under the shade of trees, where grass

is a free seeding with Kentucky blue

AS rains fall the moisture goes down.
and when an excess Of moisture exists
(Which happens only after the soil is
saturated. and all the space between
the particles are flled) crops cannot
thrive, because the solution Of plant
food would be too dilute AS the water
fills the soil the air is driven out, and
continued rains will cause the excess Of
water to stand on the surface
If 1t cannot flow off. The soil will dry
slowly unless there Is an outlet below,
evaporation OF the moisture creating
cold and destroying the plants When
the soil has been titled or has some
kind of drainage the excess OF water
goes down, and the air follows, carry
ing warmth, while the soil will retain
sufficient moisture for the crops,
though a large portion Of the soil mois-
ture will be lost IL not conserved by
judicious cultivation AS the water
leaves the earth at the surface that
lower down comes up through capillary
attraction. but a large proportion Of the
lower water is arrested by the plant
roots before it can pass up, and is then
utilized. Organic matter in the soil in
|creases fits water-holding capacity, and
wldens the range between drought and
excessive water supply, either of which
is injurious to plant life. Water held
by the organic matter may be useful to
the bacterial life that forwards the de-
composition Of organic substances in
the SOIL and as the decomposition con-
tinues there may be a gradual liberia
titon OF moisture as the organic sub
stances are more and more reduced.
The water may also be useful to grow
ing crops. But moisture alone will not
forward crops; warmth is essential, and
as the excess of water is removed from
below the soil becomes warmer at the
surface, and the roots go down as the
water recedes.

Those who advocate warm water for
the cows in winter are discussing the
economy Of utilizing the corn stalks,
etc, for warming the water. They
claim that when the cows drink cold
water It must be warmed in the body,
thereby requiring fuel as food, while
the same thing may be done outside
the body. They overlook the fact, how
ever, that it has not yet been discov-
cred how to use all the heat from fuel
in a stove.
