l.ato Seeil When-.. Wheat that is seeded late will seldom be attacked by the Hessian fly. Ono difficulty with wheat is the liability of being thrown out by frost in the spring, but when such is the case the cause may be due to lack of proper drainage. When a field has been prop erly tilled there will be but little lia bility of wheat being injured by alter nate freezing and thawing. Soil for Forcing Crop?. Soil for crops under glass is the same as that in the field. It is merely a part of the field which has been, covered with glass, and its superior mechani cal condition is owing to extremely high manuring, which with the decay pf plant roots renders the texture very loose ?nd light. Fresh land, however, may be used at once for greenhouse crops, and such soil is usually free from blights and disease germs for a year or two. The soil is manured and forked over before every crop. Food for Horses. Some horses will eat at all times and consume almost any quantity of food without appearing to improve in condition, although they may not be doing much work. Horses differ, and what ls best for one may not give as good results with others. Good groom ing is an important master, but there is not as a rule sufficient variety in the food of horses. While oats will continue to be a standard food for horses, yet a small allowance of lin seed meal and corn fodder will also be relished and give excellent results. Hay and fodder win prove superior to hay alone. Ono Way to Koop Cabbages. An excellent way to keep cabbages is to pull them up and put them close together, roots in the ground, and cover them, so as to protect them against rain,' first placing salt hay or straw over the heads. By this plan the cabbages will keep until late in the spring, as the stalks will take root and throw out sprouts or greens, after the heads are gone. By burying the heads with the roots up the frost prevents their use, and when the frost leaves then the ground is damp and the heads rot It will be found of advantage to use the stalks in the manner stated, if for no other purpose than to secure tue early greens. Poultry Houses. There is no one point in poultry rais ing which requires more consideration than the house-especially that por tion where the fowls stay during in clement weather. The roosting room need not be large, because the fowls will huddle together any way, and the small houses are not so hard to keep warm. The scratching shed sLould be both large and cheerful, so that the fowls will be contented to remain there and hustle all day. Clean straw or leaves should be kept on the floor and all grain should be raned into it. It ls a very good plan to scatter the grain in the evening and if the weath er will permit, leave open the small door, thus letting the fowis begin the work scratching as soon as lt be comes sufficiently light. tn selecting grain do not forget that whole oats will give the best results. An occasional change will be relished; but the principal food should be oats. TJnthreshed oats thrown into the scratching shed will furnish exercise for the fowls. Look over the houses carefully ari see if the walls and roof are tight and see that the floors are kept clean.-Home and Farm. Pick Oat the Best. A saving of dollars in the purchase of breeding stock is often false econ omy, us this often means a lower grade of stoclc The higher priced birds aro often the cheaper in the long run and are much the better investment. There are, of course, exceptions, but it usu ally pays to buy the best, if you are going to raise poultry for market or for eggs, for good layers are usually the descendants of good layers. It will be noticed that even under very unfavorable circumstances a few bens in the flock will lay, while the others seem to live for no other pur no?e, apparently, than to eat. ' The hens that lay the best should be placed by themselves during the breeding season, and made the founda tion of the future flock. By forethought and persistently following this plan, the laying habit may be so fixed in a flock in a few generations as to al most double the egg yield. One farmer built up his egg record from an average of 86 eggs per hen the first year to 179, then to 186, then 195, and his last year's record was 198. His method has been the simple one of picking out the earliest and best layers to breed from.-Poultry Review. The Farm Repair Shop. I often wonder how I got along with out a repair shop. The building need not be extensive, but tight and warm. One end should be rigged up for black smithing. Build a hearth of stone and ordinary clay mortar, with a good sized flue, about nine bricks to the round. An opening should be left at the proper pla^e for the admissiez of a five or six-inch stove pipe. Procure a blower or bellows, an anvil, a drill press, a vise, some dies and tops, one fourth to five-eighths inch, for cut ting thread, a hammer, tongs and two or three sizes of heading tools. Steel punches for hot iron are also neces sary, but these can'be made. After some experience, many other tools can be made that come handy. Much of the equipment mentioned can often be gotten second-hand from ma chinists or blacksmiths. Collect all kinds of scrap iron, bolts, old horse shoes, etc., from about the farm. Much useful iron may often be gotten for a trifle at public sales. Old horse shoes welded together and worked out are very useful for making nails, riv ets, links for chains, etc. I have been using for several years a heavy farm -chain made entirely from old horse shoes. As to the actual work in this line, many valuable hints may be got ten from a good natured blacksmith. One may need instruction particularly on the working and tempering of steel. For a time the novice may be dis couraged by his seeming awkward ness, but after he gets the set of his hammer and the hang of his tongs, some experience in welding, etc., there will be little repairing that need be taken away from the farm. Put in the other end of the build ing a bench or table Provide a cross cut handsaw, nice teeth to the inch, a square, a smoothing, a jack and a fore plane, a brace with at least seven bits differing in size one-eighth inch, th?e or four sizes of chisels, a draw ing knife, miter square and a hand ax or bench hatchet. A supply of d??Ti?r ont siztd nails snd wood screws. Thia will equip the wood working encl of the shop for all ordinary repairing, hauy new implements can be made and ironed complete later. Now ge; or make a sewing or sadler's horse, procuro some needles, wa?: and thread, harness rivets, etc. Put un a stove, fix up the harness ana gather the plows, harrows und other implements that ii??d repairs.-J. F. Thomas, in New England Homestead. Secrets of (ho I>nlrv. There are some secrets which are no secrets, and the experience of years nas shown me that the art of butter making may be known and read of all faithful and persistent men. A few of the points that every one who as pires to good butter making must ob serve I believe to be as follows: The man or woman who sets out to be a dairyman must love his work. Unless he does failure lies just before him. There must be thc essentials of a good cow in every individual of thc dairy. No man can succeed with poor cows, any more than a carpenter can do his nest with wornout, rusty and 'dull tools. Good water and plenty of it must be available. Impure water has more to do with our failures than most of us are inclined to admit. Roily, stagj nant or bacterial water never shoula be tolerated in the dairy. This applies to the source of supply in the pasture just as much as that used in washing the butter. Wc might better be to the expense of drilling a well ar>d putting up a windmill than to attempt to get along in the dairy room without pure water. Every man, woman and child who has anything to do with thc work of butter making, from cow to package, should be cleanly and neat. Unclean liness is the rock upon which thou sands go down. It is possible to do something in a slovenly manner and yet succeed fairly well. This is not true of butter malling. Every pail, can, churn, ladle, r-ackage, cloth and worker must be scrupulously tree from anything which will impart a taint to the finished product. The hands especially must be clean. It does not seem as if it should be necessary to sneak of this, and yet it is not a week ago that I saw a man who would resent it quickly if I told him he was not neat sit down to his cow, milk on his hands, and wet thc teats of a fine Jersey before he began to take her mess into the pail. We look to the Danish people for our pattern of cleanliness, and well we may, for if there bc any secret with them it is the secret of neatness. Cli mate, pasturage, water, care, all pass for nothing without cleanliness. Finally, the care given the cow large ly determines the quality of the butter made. Good food, cleanly quarters, kindness, freedom from all that might give the cow discomfort, these all en ter In to bring about success or fail ure in butter.making. Many other things have a bearing on the art of butter making. They may be said to be adjuncts and not abso sute essentials. The principles in volved aro not many, but they are in valuable. They must be taken into account by all who would win in the beautiful science of good butter mak ing.-E. L. Vincent, in American Cul tivator. Sloriii<; Celery for Winter'. When cold weather comes celery should be removed to the cellar. In case there is not room m the cellar let a space be cleared and leveled in the garden and boards set up about it. The space between the boards should be subdivided by other boards set two feet apart. The bunches should then be taken up with a spade, roots and all, and all the dirt allowed to remain that will cling to the roots. Set the plants close together in the space until they fill it completely and snugly, then cover with boards and over that throw a pile of straw. Water occasionally, but not by sprinkling over thc tops of the celery, as this will cause it to rot. Usc a tin spout or iron pipe an inch in diameter. Set the lower end of the pipe among the roots, place a funnel into the other end and then pour the water into it. This gives abundant moisture to the roots and thc tops are kept dry. When boxes of celery are exposed in the mar ket for sale it may be kept fresh and moist by laying wet gunny sack on the box. The plants absorb the water from the wet cloth and yet do not be come wet enough to cause it to rot It seems that very few dealers and grocers know of this simple plan to keep their celery attractive and crisp. If thc celery is taken into the cel lar, build an inc'osure as described foi* outdoors, deposit a layer of rich dirt within, set the plants out just as ii" they were outdoors and water oc casionally as described above. Celery put away in this manner will last all winter and grow continually. It will be white and tender until late in spring, and even until early summer, and the last will be found to be sweet and crisp. A good plan in using cel ery for home consumption is to break off a single stalk at a time. Thus the heart remains alive and new shoots will constantly appear through the winter. A space two yards square will be sufficient to supply a family with celery all winter if this plan is followed and care is used to prepare the plant for continued growth. These outshoots are thc daintiest and crisp est sort imaginable and they will grow with remarkable rapidity. In growing celery I have found it profitable to mulch between the rows with coarse barnyard manure. This is not so much for the purpose of se curing thc fertilizing matcial as to between thc rows to prevent the es cape of moisture. Try this method of mulching your celery rows, and do not be afraid of betting the manure too thick. Do not let it come in con- . tact with the celery, but pack it "in compactly all over the space between the rows. Celery set cut as late as the middle of August will grow to maturity be fore freezing weather. Frost does not injure celery, indeed it seems to enliven it and cause it to grow faster than before. It is suggested that un less the plants are unusually stocky when they are set out. fncy should be pinched off just above the heart. The leaves only should be taken off the young plants. This serves to concen trate the vigor of the plant tn ike roots and heart as well as causing the bum... to grow broader and thicken Scores of gardeners have made for tunes cultivating celery for city mar kets, but metno?s involved in produc- ! ing lt on so large a scale have to do ! with special machinery and appliances provided for the purpose.-Thomas Al phram, in Amoriean Agriculturist.

A young married woman who began housekeeping a short time ago went into a hardware store in a Maine town and asked for a biscuit cutter. The proprietor, one of her friends, selected a small ax, and with a sobei face presented the same to her. Without smiling the young lady took the ax, put it over her shoulder and marched out of the store and to her home with it. And now the young hardware mer chant is in doubt as to its being much of a joke on the young lady.-Boston Journal. Nice Little Boy. Boston Transcript: Mother-You nice little boy!

CoM.rp in Furnish lng*. In thc furnishing of the house, or in lie arranger 'nt cf a single room, inny housewives do not give the at trition they should to color effects. It has ben prover that color and its ombinations may affect the mind in Imost any manner desired. For exam le, red gives the sense of warmth, nd is exciting, even lo animals. On the other hand, blue is cold arid [uieting; it produces also the effect f distance; it deepens a recess and lakes tiie ceiling on which it is piaced ppear higher. Blue subdues all coi rs allied to yellow, orange, white and ed by absorbing their light. Its trongest contrast is white. Yellow conveys the feeling of light nd appears to advance toward thc eye. t will lessen the height of a room or xaggerate the prominence of a mold ug or other objects on which it is laced. It is the most intense of all olors. Blended with semi-neutrals., yellow mparts to them a radiance not their wn. It gives a particularly pleasing efiniteness and brilliancy to the ompound colors, such as buff, chest tut, hazel, dun, auburn, fawn, etc. Green is in itself rather a dull color, nd the effect of a large proportion of meralds or bluish green in a combi iation is apt to be harsh. Red is the only color which remains tationary. 1 he Art ot Seasoning:. The cook who has mastered the sub ect of seasonings is qualified to rank s an expert. Poorly seasoned food ru ns the meal, and in the long run ruins he digestion. Over-seasoning is the ule rather than the exception, and iften the most delicate of fuod ma erials are so overwhelmed by heavy easoning as to lose their individual lavors. The reason salt, pepper and pices are added to certain dishes is hat the salt, the pepper or the spices nay serve thc purpose of bringing out he flavors of the food, not that of ;iving the taste of the seasoning to t. When salt is put into the water n which vegetables are boiled it is vith the idea that the vegetable tissues viii break down less quickly in salt vater than in fresh and that the flavor s not therefore so likely to pass in team. But the general thought in us ng salt is that it is able to bring out he flavoring of the food. Next to salt, lugar deserves to rank as an agent br developing flavors/ and like salt ts loo plentiful usc may completely lisguise the real charm of delicate oods. In no department of cooking ihouid the mixtures of seasonings and heir proper use be so carefully stud ed as in salad making. When proper y blended and judiciously used, the reasonings are the making of the sal id, while a predominance of some ?eavy seasoning may spoil the salad md cast a gloom over the dinner. Not mly should seasonings always be se eded with an eye to the food they are o improve, but also with a thought >f their effect upon one another; they ?hould be in harmony or they should )e the complement of each other. The irder in which they enter the dish is ilso Important For instance, in the linglc case of combining oil, vinegar, tepper and salt for salad, the salt ihouid always dissolve in the oil ra .her than in the vinegar, since that viii mean its more even distribution jver thc contents of the salad bowl, ["he vinegar should be added last of all, n order that the amount of vinegar >ver and above what is needed in sea soning will sink to the bottom of the )Owi.-New York Sun.

In the vicinity of Paris a honx, for old domestic animals was establisher. some time ago, and among the presea Inmates, are a mule seventy-two years old, a cow thirty-six and a pig twenty five years old. It ls claimed that domestic animals .which lead an easy life are likely to live far beyond the average age if properly cared for. Many birds cer tainly attain an extraordinary age. ^Eagles, ravens and parrots, frequently liye a hundred years, and pelicans probably live as long, for it is record ed that one of these birds was placed ?n the Amsterdam zoological garden some time before 1792 and was still there in 1870. This pelican, too, was at least four or five years old when it was placed in the garden. Eels are also long lived. Professor B?chner tells of one which was kept .for twenty-six years in a pond at Thien gen, in which il was placed at thc agc of eight years. It attained a length of nearly five feet and its favorite haunt was in the current that flowed into thc pond. AU authorities agree that do mestic animais which are obliged to do a good deal of work do not live so ?ong as those which lead a placid life. Had Been There Herself.

Ky. 1 FOU SALE BY ALL LEADING The Beet Segar Industry. A most important article giving Messrs. Oxnnrd's and Cutting's views on the beet sugar industry In this country appeared on the editorial page of the New York Evening Post of De cember 12 last, and as every house hold in the land is interested In sugar the article will be of universal interest. THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY. The Evening Post bids the heartiest welcome to every American industry that can stand on Its own bot'.om and make Its way without leaning on the poor rates. Among these self-support ing industries we are glad to know, ia the production of beet sugar. At all events, lt was such two years ago. We publish elsewhere a lotter written In 1899, and signed by Mr. Oxnard and Mr. Cutting, the chiefs of this Indus try on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains, showing that this was the happy condition of the trade at that time. If parties masquerading as beet sugar producers are besieging the President and Congress at this mo ment, and pretending that they will be ruined If Cuban sugar Is admitted for six months at half the present rates of duty their false pretences ought to be exposed. The letter of Messrs. Oxnard and Cutting war. probably written for the purpose of inducing the fanners of the Mississippi Valley to go mere largely into the cultivation of beets for tba sugar factories. This was i laudable motive for telling the truth and show ing tho large profits which awaited both the ht ?t grower aud the manufac turer If the Industry were persever ingly and intelligently prosecuted. To This end it was pointed out that farm ers could clear $05 per acre by culti vating beets, and might even make $100. But in order to assure the culti vator that he would not be exposed to reveries by possible changes In the tariff, they proceeded to show that tho industry stood In no need of protection. The beet sugar industry, these gen tlemen say, "stands on as firm a basia as any business in the country." They point out the fact-a very Important one-that their product comes out ns a finished article, refined and granulated. It ls not, like cane sugar grown in the West India Islands, a black and offen sive paste, which must be carried in wagons to the seaboard and thence by ships to the United States, where, af ter another handling, it is put through a costly refinery, and then shipped by rail to the consumer, who may possi bly be In Nebraska, alongside a beet sugar factory, which turns out the re fined and granulated article at one fell swoop. Indeed, the advantages of the producer of beet sugar for supplying the domestic consumption are very great. We have no doubt that Messrs. Oxnard and Cutting are within bounds when they say that "sugar can be pro duced here cheaper than It can be In Europe." The reasons for this are that "The sugar industry is, after all, merely an agricultural one. We can undersell Europe in all other crops, and sugar is no exception." It follows as naturally as the making of flour from whear. If We cnn pro duce wheat cheaper than Europe, then naturally we car. .-educe Hour cheap er, as we do. But the writers of the letter do not depend upon a-priori reasoning to prove that they can make sugar at a profit without tariff protection. They point lo the fact that under the McKinley tariff of 1S?0? wit en sugar was free of duty. the~prlee of the article was" four cents per pound. Yet a net profit of $3 per ton was made by the beet sugar factories under those conditions, not counting any bounty on the home \-ro ductiou of sugar. They boast that they made this profit while working nuder absolute free trade, and they have a right to be proud of this result of their skill and industry. Many beet sugar factories had been started in bygone years, back lu the sixties and seventies of the nineteenth cen tury, and had failed, because the pro jectors did not understand the busi ness. Since thou great progress has been made, both here and abroad, in the cultivation and manipulation of the beet. What was impossible thirty years ago is now entirely feasible. The industry is already on a solid and en during basis. There ave factories in the United. States, these gentlemen tell us in their letter, capable of using 330,000 tons of beets per annum at a profit of $3 per ton, and this would make a profit of $1,030,000 as the in come to be earned under absolute free trade. It must be plain to readers of this letter, signed by the captains of tho licet sugar Industry, that the people in Washington who are declaiming against the temporary measure which the President of the United States urges for the relief of the Cuban peo ple, are either grossly ignorant of the subject, or are practising gross decep tion. The tenable ground for them is to say: "Other people are baring pro tection that liiey do not need, and therefore we ought to have more than we need." This would be consistent with the letter of Messrs. Oxnard and Cutting, but nothing else is so._
