Sunlight is more agreeable to theux thau dark poultry houses, and they would rather endure cold with sunlight than warmth with darkness. Dark poultry houses are nearly always damp, and are fruit ful sources of disease in winter time. There should always be a good-sized window in each; about a fourth of the front should be glass. Too much glass is to be avoided and the reasons are obvious. Crops as Manure. Using crops for manure does not bring in quick returns, but it pays. Such crops as turnips, rye, buckwheat and crimson clover assist in reducing the plant food in the soil and making it possible for the crops the succeed ing year to utilize the plant food plowed under in the manure crop. All soils contain unavailable matter that the farmer needs. There are crops that do not have the power to break down the chemical compounds existing in the soils, but there are other crops which have a partiality for some substances which are beyond the ability of plants of a different kind. One crop may be preparatory for another, hence the plowing un der of a crop is not a loss, but a gain. In England the turnips are regarded as a renovator of the soil, and the seed is broadcasted over tho surface, sheep being allowec\ access to the turnips after they have matured. The tur nips can feed on almost anything in tho soil, and when eaten by sheep the gain of mutton and manure givo the farmer a profit, but the English farmer attaches as much value to the increased fertility of his soil as he does to the product which he markets therefrom. It may be urged, as some have done, that green crops can add no mineral matter to the soil other than it takes therefrom, which is true; but such crops render- the mineral matter available for the next season.— farmers' Journal. Scattering Weed Seeds. In putting down the weeds tho first Sssential thing is to stop the scatter ing of the seeds. In the late summer ind autumn seeds are blown about freely by the wind, and are carried from one State to another by birds. The ideal way is to cut down the weeds before they go to seed; then neither birds nor wind can scatter them. But while every farmer might do this there would still be enough weeds left in abandoned places and along the road sides to keep up the supply. One of the most frequent methods of spreading weeds is through the use of manure that comes from unkuown sources. Manure that comes from city stables is invariably free from all weed seeds, but such fertilizer that comes from tho country is very apt to contain the seeds of noxious weeds that will germinate and spread as soon as applied to the laud. The Canada thistle, pigweed, and innumerable other pests of this character have spread throughout the country through the manure more than by the wind or railroads. Manure full of weed seeds is not worth the room it takes up, and ono cannot bo too careful in avoiding it. In the end it will cause more trouble than it will do good. The farmer who is so careless and shiftless as to let weeds grow all over ths ma nure pile, and go to seed there, does not deserve to find a customer for it. Yet this is often the case. Bagweed, golden-rod and pigweed cover many a pile of manure in this country, and thore is no effort made to check their growth before , they go to seed. In tho winter tirno 'or early spring this manure is spread over the cultivated fields, with the weed seeds in it, and the result is easily guessed. With a little more care a good deal of labor might be avoided. Weeds should not be allowed to mature anywhere, least of all those growing on or near the manure heap.—W. E. Farmer, in Wisconsin Agriculturist. DuUcling and Filling; a Silo. For those who want to build a silo that will hold ten tons of ensilage the following suggestions are given: As'the avorage weight of a cubic foot of ensilage is estimated at forty pounds, a cube ten feet square and five feet high would bo about tho size of a ten ton block of ensilage, but to get this would require some additional height when filling, and as the pressure from above is necessary to preserve ensilage iu the best condition it is recommended that the depth of a silo that is not to bo weighted should be at least sixteen feet. We would not think of building one less than ten feet deep, and think that much better satisfaction would be given by a silo from twelve to sixteen feet deep. Taking twclvo feet as the shallowest wo would build a building eight feet square, it would give 768 cubic feet, whiob. is as small as we would wish to build, to be sure of ten tons of preserved silage. The building may be made of good, sound, seasoned lumber, balloon frame. In the frame 2x6 or 2xß scantling may be used; the ends should be cut square and the junctions securely toe-nailed with good, round steel spikes. Tho boards for the walls should bo sound, well seasoned and free from Bap! Green lumber should not be used! The walls may be given a coating of ooal tar or roofing pitch applied hot. If the walls are not more than four teen feet high 2x6 studs will be heavy enough if they are placed sixteen to eighteen inches apart from center to center and sheathed on the inside with two thickness of inch boards. The inside sheathing should be sur face dressed and when put on should break joints. Tho sills, two inches thick and same width as studs, should be laid on a thin bed of cement mortar and spiked to anchor blocks in the foundation. The silo should be built upon a well drained spot even if it has to be arti ficially drained to make it dry. No floor is necessary, simply fill in be. tween the foundation walls till abov the surface outside. The contents pf the silo should ba cut short as run into it. Bet the cut ter as to convey the silage direct from tho machine to the silo; distribute the silage evenly as it falls from the con veyor, using care to pack the corners aud sides closely.—Farm, Field and Fireside. Take Good Care of Farm Tool). I have always considered money in vested in tools as much of a man's actual capital as that in live stock oi real estate and tho care of one ai essontial as the care of the other, Upon many farms plows, harrows reapers, etc., are left standing in the field where used or iu the yard uncov ered, save perhaps by the rather leaky roof of a tree, uncared for, only us nature covered each with rust or mold. Aud still the cry goes up from these snme farmers of hard times, and so they will be next year harder than ever, when these tools are called into use and found broken, or worse, rotted and rusted out, entailing de lays for repairs when work is press ing, or the oxpense of new ones. The owner of one farm I visited ia considered a scientific fanner. And so he is as far as preparing tho soil, growing his crops, and caring for live stock is concerned, but there it ends. I never saw cows slicker or better fed aud housed; horses whose glossy coats and tossing heads told plainer than words of plenty of oats and care. Just out in the yard, not a stone's throw from the warm stables, I saw three plows, two cultivators, spring tooth harrow, hay rake, and as the auctioneer's say, "other articles too numerous to mention," without cover save the snow which was fast drifting over them. No lack of storage room here, for there are unused sheds and barns on the farm, enough to store five timos the amount. It seemed to me there was no excuso for such negli gence, when an hour's work would have housed them all. During the timo of use many tools have to bo left in the field exposed to tho sun and rain for days at a time, but when not in use they should be sheltered. And later in the season or during the winter each tool should be oxainiued, and pirt in order for the coming spring. My plan is as soon as the hurry of work is over in the fall, to inspect each tool, aud if a plow or cultivator, to scour the points, etc., tighten the nuts, put in new bolts if necessary, aud then with warm lin seed oil brush over the entire imple ment, castings and woodwork. When springtime comes there is no guesswork about the tools. They are ready every time. A farmer can do much repairing himself if ho tries, and with but few tools. A small stock of bolts and screws should be kopt on hand, aud a few sticks of choice tim ber for emergencies. The butt of that young hickory or oak cut last winter, had it been put iu some dry place, would have been the thing ful some of our repairs aud better timber than is often found at the shops. You wanted a short wliiflfietree last winter when you cultivated corn. Make one now aud get it ironed while work is not pressing. Take it to the black smith when you take tho teeth from the spike-toothed harrow to be sharp ened, and do not put it off until springtime.—J. 11. Bowermau, in American Agriculturist. Fnrin and Garden Notes. E --cry farm has a place for sheep that no other stock can fill. Thorough grubbing is the surest way of getting rid of elder, sassafras and persimmon. For want of sufficient moisture n treo may starve with its roots iu thj midst of plenty. Teach the young horses to wall; well, aud a good fouudutiou is laid foi the faster gaits. ?t For warts on horses, clip off the wart and touch the place, just touch it, with nitric acid. One advantage in using the drill oi seed Bower is that the seed will be distributed more evenly. Always keep the plow sharp; it makes better work and is easier fot both the team and plowman. Clover pastured with pig's gives i better return than if made into hay. Give the pigs a good pasture into which to run, aud they will be ready to finish iuto first-class pork next fall It is true that a billy goat is a pro tection to a flock of sheep at night, where there are dogs abottt, but a wide-awako cow is equally as good, and she will do especially effective service if she has a young calf by hel side. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. To Krigliteii Looking OlasN. If the looking glass is allowed to be come cloudy it may be permanently injured. It should not bo permitted to get dusty, aud once a week should bo rubbed briskly with a rag dipped in methylated spirits. When this is dry polish with a silk duster dipped iu powdered chalk or powder blue. Iteiiovntiiif; Leather on Furniture, Make a preparation of one part of vinegar in two parts of boiled linseed oil, aud mix well. Apply a little of this to a soft rag and dab it on the leather, which afterward polish with a silk handkerchief. If this process is repeated monthly it will help to pre serve the lentlier from cracking and keep it iu good condition. A New Tomato Sonp. Rinse only lightly a small half-oup of rice, and cook iu two quarts of salted water till the starch celts burst, and you havo a pot of thick starch. Stew the tomatoes for a half-hour, seasoning when first jiut on with a teaspoonful of salt, a level saltspoon ful of pepper, a tablespoonful of sugar, a medium-sized oniou, sliced, three cloves, oue small hayleaf and a little nutmeg. Rub the tomato when done through a soup strainer into the rice-starch, aud taste, to see if the seasoning is right, adding salt or pep per if necessary. Now add a cup of whipped cream and serve. There should not be more than a generous quart of tho starch when boiled. Fi or Bate Pudding. Half cup butter, one cup sugar, one aud a half cups flour, half cup sweet luilk, one teaspoonful baking powder, one teaspoonful vanilla. Rake in gem tins. While they are baking boil two tablespoonfuls of sugar, three-quarters of a cup milk, oue tablespoonful 'corn starch and the beaten white of an egg. Flavor with vanilla. Spread hot over each little pudding. Place ilgs or dates on top of the thick, white part; serve with the following sauce: Roil three-quarters of a cup sugar, one aud a half cups milk, two tablespoonfuls of butter, one tablespoonful of corn starch, yolks of three eggs and oue teaspoonful of vanilla. Serve hot around each pudding. To Make Tender a Tough Steak. To transform a tough piece of beef steak into a nutritious and tender one, hy a method employed in many of the first-class hotels and restaurants, pro ceed as follows; Into a deep platter put about three tablespoonfuls of viue gar aud One of pure olive oil, and lay the steak op it several hoars before it is to be used, turning it every hour. If the steak is to be used for breakfast an exoellent plan is to fix it the pre vious night and just before going to bed turn it over and add a littlo more vinegar and oil if the mixture lia3 all been absorbed. The steak should be cooked without wiping it and then seasoued with butter, pepper and salt [ and garnished with slices of lemon 1 and parsley.—American Queen. The Value of Foods. A comparative study of tables, com piled on dietetic subjeots, is full of surprises to the uninitiated. It is not generally known, for example, that raw cabbage requires only an hour and a half for digestion, while tho same vegetable boiled takes four hours nud a half, aud ranks, consequently, as ouo of tho slowest to digest among foods. Raw sweet applos, soured pigs' feet, fresh trout, boiled rice, venison steak, fresh salmon are all desirabla foods from a digestive point of view. Roasted pork ranks highest on the other side, taking five hours aud u quarter for assimilation, and compet ing with it closely iu the same way are roasted wild duck, boiled pork, fried beefsteak, fowls, aud, what is surprising, vegetable sonp. In food values, too, statistics dispel many carefully cherished notions. Oysters and milk, to illustrate, aro credited with, respectively, only twelve and thirteen per cent, of nutriment, while raw oils lead tho list with ninety-five per cent. Raw cucumbers and melons add little nourishment to the human frame with their trifling percentages of two and three. Itooipog. Pineapple Cake—Make a plain, thiu rancake batter of eggs, flourand milk, aud pour it into a buttered frying-pan. As soon as the hatter spreads, cover with a layer of stewed pineapple and sprinkle over with powdered sugar. Put tlie pan in abet oven and bake for teu minutes; cut into triangular pieces aud serve hot. Bread Crumb Omelet—One pint of breed crumbs, a large spoonful of dried parsley or celery and one small chopped onion. Beat two eggs light aud mix with half a pint of milk, a grate of a nutmeg, pepper and salt, and a largo spoonful of melted butter. Pour into a buttered pieplate, bake to light brown aud serve with soft or hard sauce. Blackberry Jelly—Use tho low,wild blackberries. Mash them, and heat slowly, until tho juice is all drawn out. Then squeeze tbiough a cheese cloth, and drip through a flaunel strainer. Allow a scant cup of sugav to every cup of juice. Boil the juice fifteen minutes, then add tho hot sugar, aud boil until it thickens, when poured ou a cool plate. Fish Rolls Chop very fine two pounds of uncooked halibut, then rub to a pnste with potato masher, in earthen dish. Add, one at a time, tho whites of threo eggs, beating oach in well, before adding another, then stir in one-half cup warm cream, aud season with salt, paprika and a few drops of onion juice. Mix very thor oughly, then with the hands make into rolls, two and one-half inches in length. Then brush with beaten egg, roll in crumbs and fry in hot fat, deep or shallow. Drain and servo with bechamel sanca. ricturo of Oeorco Mrm George Eliot was at this time about fifty, but looked years older. She wore, us she always did, a plain silk dress, to night having a white ehawl about her shouldrers and light gloves in her hand, being indeed dressed for the op era. Some people have talked and writ ten of the ugliness of this great wom an; this sort of criticism recalls a fam ous scene in "Middlemarch." "Mr. Cas aubon has a wart on his nose," said pert little Celia to her sister. "I dare say he has," was Dorothea's dignified rebuke, "when certain people look at him." And thus George Eliot in some eyes was ugly because, forsooth, she lacked dimpled cheeke, round eyes, and pretty mouth! If hers was ugliness, would we had more of it in the world! When in speaking her large, usually solemn features lighted up, a positive light would flash from them, a lumin osity irradiate, not her own person only, but her surroundings. A sover eign nature, an august intellect, had transported us into its own atmosphere. ! —Miss Betham Edwards' Reminis- | cences. ITlie Companion lor (lie Itrstof IS'JN.

Probably owing to the fact that the duchess of York's wedding jewels were largely composed of turquoises—her fa vorite stone —the turquoise has been coming more and more into fashion. One of the latest developments is to carve heads and initials on them. It lias become quite the fashion now ! for bridesmaids to carry baskets of flowers instead of bouquets. Special j baskets are made, generally of white i chip, with tall, slight handles. A bow ; of ribbon can be added at the top and the flowers are securely fastened in position by means of needle and j thread. 1 | American ladies, says an English | writer, have a new fad. They carry i about with them a living "mascot," or I charm, in the shape of a black kitten, : the idea being that it will avert catas i tropho to friends or relatives taking | part in the war. The kitten is some j times carried in a bag. It is absolute- j ly necessary that the animal should be black. How the idea originated we are not at present informed. The duchess of Portland is very keenly interested in temperance and has done some good work to the cause, though, no doubt, her natural reserve would make her shrink from the pub licity it involves. In spite of being the wife of one of the richest men in England and mistress of one of its finest mansions, Lady Portland does little entertaining. She is, however, well calculated to shine as a society hostess, for she has a groat charm of manner and a stately sort of beauty. She is tall and graceful, with dark hair and a lily and rose complexion. Her maiden name was Miss Dallas York, and she is the daughter of a Yorkshire squire. It is said that the duke of Portland first saw her at a railway sta- L tion and was then and there captivated with her dignified beauty and her charming manner. Afterward, meeting ' her by chance in a London drawing- j room, he began that acquaintance with her which led to marriage. By the death of the widow of the last Prince, the name of the Venetian family Glovanelli that has existed since 1230 has become extinct. To Core Constipation Forever.
