UltmiOKHATINO CLOSET FOR A PAIRT.
It is not desirable to cool a dairy by
means of ventilating pipes from an ice
house. The waMc of ice costs more
than a cooling tank kept at forty-Cve de
grees by the direct use of ice. With
such a tank, pails twenty inches deep
and eight inches in diameter are used.
But by the newly introduced method of
raising the cream by adding water to the
milk, the use of ice may be dispensed
with, to the great relief of the dairymen
and families. As soon as the milk is
strained into the paus, one-third the
quantity of cold water from a well is
added; this causes the complete separa
tion of the cream in twenty-four hours,
at the expiration of which time the milk
will bo sweet in the warmest weather.
In winter the water may be used at a
temperature of 130 degrees, and if the
milk is kept in any reasonably protected
dairy, it will not freeze in that time in
the coldest weather New York Timet.
STRAWBERRIES TLANTED IS FURROWS.
We have never had better success
growing strawberry plants than the past
season, set in furrows. As we have be
fore advocated, wo prepare the land by
fall and spring plowing. Then plow
furrows with it two-horse plow, keeping
the landslide as uubroken as possible,
and as fast as a boy straightens out root
and drops plants a good man places thcui
against the landslide of the furrow,
hold-'ng roots spreading out or face shape
and drawing in a big handful of dirt
against them with the other band. We
then passed along and scattered well
rotted manure, and then A man followed
with a hoe, .drawing in earth and filling
up furrows. The result was nearly
eicry plant grew, while had they been
V -et in the old way and carelessly doubled
up and pushed into a small hole made
with a trowel by careless hands a largo
proportion would have failed to grow,
especially as late as we set them, middle
of May, and hot weather at that.

OBJECTIONS TO OPEN DITCHES.
Open ditches should only bo made
iwhere absolutely necessary. The reason
;ia obvious: a tile drain will generally
'cost but little if auy inoie man A properly
constructed open ditch with sufficiently
sloping banks. Fields can be cultivated,
hauling done in less time and with loss
inconvcticnces, beside the additional
-ground to cultivate, which would be
waste land if the ditch wero left open.
.Thej-o is a constant demand for the deep
ening and widening of ditches, and this
demand will continue until their bottoms
are sunk low enough not to obstruct the
discharge of the tile drains. The bottom
'Of an open ditch should be at least two
jfeet below the necessary depth of tile
; drains, to prevent the tilo from being
filled up and obstructed by the ever-ac-;
cumulating sediment iu the bottom.
.Probably the best way to treat this le
posit of sediment would be to make bank
Blopes not to exceed two to one, or still
flatter, which will greatly reduce the
cost of cleaning out the ditch and keep
ing it in repair, by plowing and scrap
ing out the deposit and spreading it on
the adjacent hind. The above is from
report of the Ohio Society of Civil Engi
neers. Bottun Cultitator.
IS THE MOI.E A Nl'ISAKCE T
There are many people who consider
f-
moles a nuisance nud endeavor in every
way to get rid of them, in the belief that
they destroy vegetables, eat seeds and
. planted grains, and in many ways damage
sfrons, besides making gardens a d
gioui cU unsighty by their burrowings.
: Others, while admitting the uudesirable
- T"S - indergrouuds roads, believe
Ithey do more good than harm in the de
struction of worms, bugs, etc., that
: would more injuriously ubouud were it
. not for tho moles. A Viueland (N.J.)
correspondent of much exjiericneo has
heretofore said iu the World that he has
followed their runs through potato hills
and road beds of every kind, also among
his strawberries, blackberries, etc., and
has never yet found any injury from
them, and he coucludus tliHt tliey subsist
entirely on worms, bugs and the liko that
get into runways, uud or? therefore
among the farmers' and gardeners' best
friends. An Ohio correspondenf bus also
spoken a good word for the moles,
especially ou meadow lands. Much other
testimony of a similar character might be
igivcn. Ou the contrary, there are per
jsons who assert positively that moles do
jeat grain, and recite instances that sua
jtain them in their belief. Upon the
Jwhole, with much conflicting evidence
on the subject, it is deemed safe to say
that the mole is essentially iusectiverous
in its habits, and unless impelled by
ihunger from a scarcity of its favoril food
partly affects vegetation injuriously.

- CVGRKSTIOSS ON ROAD-MAKING.
The best form of the upper surface of
the roadway (its cross section), says the
jAulmru (Ala.) Experiment Station bul
letin, is that of two inclined planes meet
ing iu the centre of the road aud having
itht-ir angles slightly rounded by a curve.
Tho inclinations of the planes should be
greatest where the surface is rou.u'h aud
least where it is smoothest aud hardest.
On a steep hillside the surface should be
a single slope, inclining iuward to the
face of the bill. A ditch ou the side
next to the hill receives tho surface
water, which should be eaniid, ut
priH.r intervals, under the road to its
'outside. This form is also advuutugeous
when the ruad curves rapidly aruuud the
hill, as it counteracts the dangerous cen
trifugal force of the vehicle.

FARM AMD GARDEN KOTKS.
Fowls need water in tho winter.
Have the team shod well or not at all.
Cover tender shrubs with 'barrels
stuffed with leaves.
Always breed from a stallion that will
improve your stock.
Onions and fruits keep better in shal
low bins than in heaps.
As far as possible keep birds of a size
and disposition together.
A few bruised apples will sooner or
later spoil the whole barrel.
If you let the calf become stunted wo
shall have a "stunted cow."
Have you got everything in the best
possible condition for winter?
All lilies are beuefltcd by a heavy coat
of leaves held in place with brush.
It is again announced that you can
breed sex at will with certainty on
paer.
If more than fifty fowls are kept, they
should have more than one homestead or
roost.
A few hens, with the care usually
giveu, win give more eggs in proportion
than a large numb.-r.
Hard work is not so apt to injure a
horso as the failure to receive proper at
tention after the work.
If the combs should become frosted,
bathing in sweet oil will relieve nd pre
serve the lojks somewhat.
It is the freezing and thawing that is
injurious to pansies and strawberries.
Cover them to prevent this.
For eggs and chicks combined the
I.anghans, Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes,
and Hrahams are excellent.
The colt raised iu a stall or close lot is
apt to bo more awkward and soft than
one given to plenty of room.
Never try to keep milk at a low tem
perature by keeping the cow in a low
temperature. It will not work.
Do not smoke wheu about the milk and
butter. Customers do not liko to take
the nroma of tobacco in that way.
Violets and pansies are hensed out by
the frost, and need a light covering of
leaves, evergreen boughs or litter.
Do you recommend winter dairying?
asks a correspondent. Yn, if tho dairy
man will give it the proper attention.
Mahonias, rhododendrons and yuccas
should be protected with leaves, held in
place by evergreen boughs or fluo brush.
Beets, carrots, turnips and "parsnips
best be buried in soil in tho cellar for
home use. Large quantities may be
pitted.
If there are burrs in your corn-field or
pasture it won't pay to turn the sheep in
there to pick. It will pick the price of
the wool at shearing time.
Hollyhocks should be covered with
sod, set roof-like on each side; or with
a forkful of coarse mamure. Bewure of
smothering and rotting them.
When cows fail to breed there may be
a cause that can bo removed, but tho
only general advice that can be given in
such cases is to keep the system vigor
ous. In raising poultry for profit you must
first consider the surrouudiug circum
stances, the amount of capital to invest,
the space of ground to be occupied, and
the amount of help available.
Every dairy ought to be scientifically
conducted or not coudncted at all. This
letting a dairy run itself would seem to
indicate that farming was so profitable
that we did not know what to do with
our money.

A Criminal Family.
Some mouths ago there were two
prisoners, husband aud wife, charged
with crime. Mr. Wheatley, Secretary
of the St. Giles Mission, learned that
they had a large family of children, and
these he made it bis business to dis
cover. There were six of them one, a
baby at the breast, was with the mother;
the other five were huddled together in a
small room in Paddington. A little in
quiry revealed an appalling state of
things. The mother was sentenced to
eighteen months' imprisonment, the
father, being an old offender, received a
long term of penal servitude. The
graud lather was doing penal servitude,
the grandmother was in prison, an uncle
was awaiting his triul in a provincial
town, while the auct bad a warrant out
against her. Thus, the whole family
group were in the grasp of the law.
Proper steps were, however, taken, and
the five little ones secured: one, a boy.
was pint-fed iu a school; another boy wtu
seut to the country, where be is in wise

DON'T LET INDIANS HAVB LIQUOR.
There is says the Indian' Fn'etid.a panel
published by the Women's National Indlat
Association a law passed by Congress thai
no intoxicating liquor of any kind shall bt
sold to an Indian, any whero within the limit
of the United (States (and it wn not passed
for the benefit of tho Indian cither) . Thii
law is openly, repeatedly and unblushinglj
violated; from its violation there comes 1
long line of evils of which the white race geti
its full share. Now we venture to suggest
that, as a precautionary measure It might b
well to send all sellers 'of intoxicating hipiori
out of the lands assigned to Indians. Th
Indian Bureau iu the Northwest is prac
tically in charge of the War Department
since tho recent order of the honorablf
Secretary of the Interior; and it would be
comparatively easy matter to carry this la
into cfTect. A thorough enforcement of tin
law would be worth more than a regimentoi

Lupus vulgaris, of which w& are now
hearing to much, is an extremely chronio
uisease of the skin, attacking persons
between the ages of two and iftccn. It
Is characterised by the appearance of
reddish-brown nodules of granulation
tissue upon the skin, usually of the face.
Tho mucous membranes, are rarely affect
ed. The nodules stnrt in tho corlum,
but penetrate tho connective tissue be
neath and the papillary layer above.
The disease spreads by the formntion of
fresh nodules at the periphery ot the
original lesion. New centres form and
tho old onea may gradually disappear. If
the tissue breaks down an open sore is
found, covered with yellowish and
brownish crusts. Unlike ordinary tuber
cle, the lupus nodules are rather vascu
lar. Tubercle bacilli are found in the
tissue, but they aro very infrequent, and
often many examinations are required to

Using the Snn as Alarro Clock.
The young man who lives in a garret
related his peculiar methods of domeetio
economy lately. lie does not possess an
alnrm clock, and consequently must de
vino some means of awakening at a cer
tain time in the morning. To arouse
himself at six o'clock ho opens his win
dow and lifts high the curtain before re
tiring, and lot tho light of dawn stetls
gently upon his eye-lids and prios them
open to sensibility with the assistance
rendered by the ruder shock tonveyed to
his car by tbe noise of passing vehicles.
To awnko t- urs later the window is
closed; at ' k awakening is ob
tained by . .ig uown the curtain, but
whon his fatiguo necessitates a thorough
rost ho shuts out all light and sound ns
nearly as possible, surrounding himself
with pillows and blankets, among which
ho rest serenely in the arms of Mor
pheus until "high noon"drives htm from
concealment. Philadelphia Inquirer.
