Many far ncr believe that rye is much

the latter crop; and not only in manur

apt therefore to be neglected. Kyehus
a greater bulk ot straw than wheat; but
this bulk is chie.lv carbon and derived

as auimal nutrition is concerned. Take
the case of corn fodder: if the stalks are
large there is a very natural and strong

the leaves, and a small port on of the top
of the stalk, which leave a large amount
to ie cast out with tue manure or em

farmers cau hardly afford to grow
crops to be converted into manure iu ti.at

of having plenty o. manure. It i some

Anthorlf lea on "Apple-Scale."
In a paper read by A. M. Hatch, of
Wisconsin, ou "Apple Scale," before the
American I'omnlog cal Society, he ex
pla.ned that u pie scale is caused by a fun
gus that also attacks the leaves. Where it
attacked the leaves it caused them to drop,
weakened the tree and led to winter
killing. Like other lungi it thri es lies'

development, and to this extent a bless

the disea-e in its leai form. In reference
to prevent on and cure, th disease be
longed to the same family of fungi (the
Pevononfioras) that causes one kind of
grape rot, and that is too deep-rooted to
be prevented by outside applications.
He advised discarding such vaiietics as
are most liable to its attacks. Some
var et es of apples develop a waxy secre
tion upon the fru t and leaves, and he
finds that such varieties are less liable to
contract the disease.

How to Make a Good Cistern.
The surface soil is removed to a depth
of eighteen inches to exclude frost in
winter and heat in summer. The exca
vation is made in the shape of an egg,
with the upper third ent off. It should
be eight to ten feet deep, and seven to
ten feet in diameter. The deeper the
cistern the better and cheaper it is. If
the soil is close aud com act, the cement
may be laid directly upon it, aud no
brick-lining is required. To do this, a
large flat stone is bedded in cement at
the bottom, for the workman to stand
upon, and for a rest for the pump. The
oement is made of water lime, one part,
aud clean, sharp sand, tbrts arts, mixed
dry, first, and wetted up in small quan
tities as required, and can be used before
it sets hard. The cement is laid about
an inch thick. W hen the bottom is cov
ered a layer is put in around the wall
about a foot h gli, and, as it sets very
quickly, as souu as one strip is laid
another may be put on above it, until the
whole is completed. Ia digging, a

lozenges cut out with a cutter, square,

fessedly sweet. But a sugar lozenge,
with one of these mottoes on it, is
"swecterthan anything on earth." Many

TO TRESERVE THE SOFTNESS OF FLANNEL GAR
MENTS, FOLLOW CAREFULLY THESE
DIRECTIONS FOR WASHING.
Dissolve thoroughly in boiling water lome Ivory Soap, ihaved tine.
Add nufficient warm water to wah the flannels in one by one.
Don't rub any loap on the flannels, but knead them well In the
solution.
Don't rinse them in plain water, use a fresh supply of the solutton,
warm, and well blued, for the purpose.
Don't wring tightly with the hands, use a clothes-wringer. Tie freer
from water you get these garments the softer they will be.
Hang them out immediately, if the weather will permit; if not, dry
before the fire. If left to stand wet, the flannel will certainly shrink.
Never wash flannel in water too hot to bear your hand in.
Never rinse them in cold water.
Always use Ivory Soap, it is the best, much experience has prored
this.
A WORD OF WARNING.
There sre many white soaps, each represented to bt "just as goed ss ,,,wT'j"
they ARE NOT, but like ail counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable ,uatitsl
ef the genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and Insist upon getting It
