as in summer, as 1t is known that q

In constructing the cellar the ground

one end of the cellar through door
leading into an entryway 6x12 feet,
for the storage of fuel, etc. An inner

WINTER WINDOW BOXES.
The Best Method Of Growing Plants
in the House During the

In speaking of cultivatipg flowers
through the winter the Garden Maya

Perhaps the best, most serviceable
and artistic way to keep winter plants
is in window boxes, placed inside the

from the glass. So far as the plants
are concerned, any box will do, pro-

paint it on the outside in any color
appropriate to the surroundings. It
should be six to eight inches wide and
six inches deep, with several holes
drilled in the bottom for drainage. A
tray or tin pan OF "a corresponding size
should be provided to catch the water
that soaks through, but the box
should not be set down tightly into

to admit free circulation of air.
Small blocks Of wood about an inch
thick placed in the bottom Of the pan
will elevate the box sufaciently. be-
lieve that this one thing is responsible
for more deaths of house plants than
any other neglect or mismanage'

The roots should be dug late in the

They are set as closely together as

burner was placed an adjustable oven,
to somewhat assist n radiation; and
over the other burner a kettle OF wa
ter. This arrangement answered to
conserve both heat and moisture so
that in a period of nearly three months
the plants were watered but once. If,
in preparing the cellar, due caution is
observed to provide absolutely against
frost, the cost Of heating will amount
to almost nothing.

SOME SEED. KNOWLEDGE.
Valuable Suggestions for Saving
Seed and How to Make Them
Grow in the Spring.

Seeds saved will make big crops next
year If they are planted.
Tomato seeds, red or yellow, ordi-
nary, peach, pear or plum-tomato seeds
should be dried on separate pieces OF
cloth, and placed in cigar or other
empty wood or tin boxes, for mice eat
them during the long winter nights =
they can reacn them. Mice also eat
sunflower, corn and lettuce seeds,
which should be carefully and tightly
boxed against their sharp teeth.
Cucumber, musk melon and squash
seeds should be washed and thorough
" dried in the sun before being label
ed and placed away for next springs
planting.
Peas and beans can be kept from be-
ing destroyed by weavils by adding Z
small lump Of gum camphor. Any aro-
matte herb, such as spearmint or pep
permint will serve the same purpose.
Leek and onion seeds; balsam fiow-
er seeds and radish seeds; and many
varieties of @.bbage seeds; Swiss
chard and beet seeds look alike, and
need to be kept carefully apart and
correctly labeled.
Save the sunflower seeds, Russian
black or Cut-and-come again They
are fine to feed poultry and, like nuts,
are good to eat. The sunfower plant
purifies the air and prevents malaria.
Waermelon seeds should be saved.
Residents Of cities that cannot grow
them, readily can sell them to farmers
or exchange them for farm products.
Parsnip and vegetable oyster heads,
strings OF beet seeds, pods of radishes
end beans can be stored in boxes and
,ooked over during the long winter
days or evenings.
Saving all the seeds In the world
will do no good unless they are plant
ed, says the Farmers Voice. Next
spring begin helping what you can to
make this earth more pleasant by
planting the seeds you saved, and by
putting those you have to spare in the
hands OF some one who can and will
use them.

THE CREAM.

Keep the cows well bedded,
cleaned and brushed.
Put the salt box under the shed
and keep it full of salt.
The best looking COW generally
brings the most money.
Don't sell the whole milk unless
you get a good price for it.
The dairy business is hard one
to follow, but 1t brings prosperity.
Feed the cows after milking and
you will avoid the disagreeable odor
from the feed.
Feed sugar beets and beet tops
carefully, or they will cause milk to
have a peculiar odor.
The COW being the most sensitive
moneymaker on the farm, should re-
ceive the best care in feed and In
kindness.
It never pays for the calf to get
two or three years old before being
handled. It should be tanned from
