e the Inftence of the bicycle is "oticeable in. many of the most im portant practical affairs of life, it may also be charged with effecting more or less of a revolution in the domain of nentiment. Before the wheel came into use for al: sexes, ages and contlons, the boundaries in which young affec tion moved were well-defined and lim ited. Once or twice a week he, under lte old system, in all the perfection of long IoohIng-glass. preparation, boiled shirt and general starchiness, came to visit her. She, in an even more elab crate arrangement of comfort-dispeli Ing toilet, with possIbly some suspi cions of powder and rouge, entertained him. And under these conditions, with occasional dress parades in the moon light, the social party, ball or theater, courtship ran Its course till they came to the minister's or the parting of their ways. This, however, has been great ly changed by t1e bicycle, and possibly for the better. Now the two who are the light of each other's lives, brIng out their wheels, either singly or in tan edem, and snapping their fingers at broadcloth suits and French gowns ptit on comfortable, health-helping gar ments and go sp,nning off not only on two stated evenIngs but possibly every night in the week. Instead of looking at themselves like dressed-up ref2ee tions of fashion plates, both get an idea of what they really are: The red on the girl's cheeks is a color complexion ,box never knew, while for him, supros. Ing it's a tandem, though courtship makes him take a back seat, he's glad and proud to cccupy it. No doubt there are numbers who may not see any par tcul ar advantage in thIs (:hange, but then the c.y fogy always was and al ways will be with us. 4t the same time, as i'the ancient debate, whether parlor-sparking was sweeter than hang lug over the front gate, here is a case where a great deal can be said on both sides. Diseases whose no'es end 1n itis seem to multiply. Why not add to the list bilitis, or 4 malady common to leg Isiators?

Bees may be successfully wintered in cellars, if properly managed, but it takes care and experience in most cases to make a sure success of it. A cell r used for bees should be for bees alone and not for other purposes,from the fact that a cellar that contained decayed fruits and vegetables would not be as healthy for bees, besides frequent visits to the cellar would an noy the bees and may result in disas ter to them. A part of a cellar thet is securely partitioned off exclusively to itself might answer, if proper pre caution is always taken on enteringit, or doing any work in it while the beea are there.-Agricultural Epitomist, Cut Straw on the Floor. It is well to again call attention to the importance of using cut straw on the poultry-house floor after cold weather begins, as it serves to keep the house warm. Leaves are also ex cellent, but the supply is soon ex hausted. It is important to- cut the straw short. If only one inch in lcngth, all the better, and use it lib erally, spreading it on the floor to a denth of two or three inches. When feeding whole grain to the hens scat ter the grains in the cut straw, and do the same with millet-seed. The hers will be induced to scratch, which will be beneficial to them, promote the ap petite .and induce laying.-Farm cNews. e nfluceo of Stock on Seloi. The Academy of Science, Paris, France, sends out a report of the effect of the stock on the scion in the case of two pear trees, fifteen years old,which had grown side by side in a garden where they were apparently subject to the same conditions, with the excep tion of the stocks into which they were grafted. The variety was tke Triomphe de Todoigne, and one was grafted upon a seeding pear, the other upon a quince. Each tree bore about 800 fruits each year, and for three years the fruits when mature were col leoted, compared and analyzed. The color of the fruits was very different, those upon the pear stock tbeing green and those on the quince stock golden yellow, with a decided rose blush on the side toward the sun. Ten fruits from the quince stock averaged to weigh 406 grams, against 280 grams on the pear stock. Both fruit and fruit juice on the quince stock had greater density, and It also exceeded that on the pear stook in acidity and in contents of suga.r. The sugar was in the proportion of eleven -kilogrammes of the quince stock to seven on the pear stock. These observations were in the main confirmed by others made some years ago on Winter Doyenne scions on seeding pear and quine stock.-Bos ton Cultivator. Our hoeshaeno yet een readjuabed to modern ideas, mo ern convenaiences and modern necess~ 2., says a writer in Voice. This e ge has taken place in town life; ana- so left the farm house far in the rest. Attempts at readjustment have almost invariably been erroneous, if not fooll Iish. For instance, there has been-in Ieffort to recreate rural architecture, but it has not been in the way of creating a distinctive farmh.ouse, adapted to those needs which have grown up around and with .'country life. All about the country /'our new farmhouses, for the most piart, are poor imitations of city houses. Some times they are nothing more than city houses, built far away from the need of any such building. A little thought will show to any farmer that such a Ihouse is exactly what he does not need. The city house is lifted higna up into the air from necessity, with little consideration for outlook, but with a good deal of consideration for neighboring houses. It is built to be adjusted to city waterworks and gas and pavod streets. All these the country dweller does not have. The country house, on the contrary, should be adjusted to entirely differ ent needs. It should be broad, and not high; ii should be surrounded by verandas, alcoves, porches, and all other possible outlooks. It should, in other words, be adjusted to land and landscape. It should have three things about it-first of all, plenty of room, second, plenty of trees and vines, and third, plenty of water. The farmer, in building a house, should provide for these three things or con sider his home a fdilure. We may Inow add one more point that modern invention at last is making it possible for us to secure. I mean that the country house should be built for so Iciety. The rural telephone service is easily adjustable to farm houses, so as to break up their isolation, and bind them together into a 'social life fully as pleasant as that enjoyed by the in habitants of town. The cost of such service is insignificant, and the result is the abolition of that isolation which has rendered farm life of late almost intolerable. About sin farm houses Imay thus be bound together so as to enjoy tho most familiar intercourse andbe bleto call upon each othe fo assitance in time of need. This new farm grouping is rapidly taking place, andi it seems not improbable that by' 1900 will have fairly covered the whole *country. Elnts on Dairying. As a rule, with any kind of setting now practicad, the cream will all be at the top as soon as the temperature stops failing. It will, if the tempera tare is r an down to forty-five degrees or below. The more rapid the coot ing th ore rapid the separation. It inot well to go balow freezing. It is best to rem.ove the cream while the milk is sweet, so that the milk can be fed sweet to the pigs or calves. No good dairyman favors let ting the milk more than slightly be gmn to change before skimming. To Ilet the milk lopper is positively bad, as it renders it impossible to remove the cream without taking too much easous matter with it, Whenersm is added, thoroughly stir andT mi it with the mass. Add no cream io_" twelve hours before churning, as it will not ripen and churn, and :ill therefore remain in the buttermilk. The cream should be churned as soon as it becomes slightly acid. L souring goes beyond this, the acid be gins to cut and waste the butter fats.. Some, however, let the cream go so far as to even lopper. This gives a posi tive lactic-acid flavor to the butter, which many like, while the extra amount of caseine retained in the b.t ter makes up in weight for the loss of some of the $ner fats. It was claimed by the elder Voeleker, chemist of the Royal Agri cultural Society gf England, and by the late Professor L. B. Arnold, that the 'fnest-favored and longest-keep ing butter is churned from sweet cream and is free from caseous matter; while some claim that such butter is insipid in flavor and does not keep well. But sweep cream must be ripened by oxidizing before churning, and ex perimenters say that it must h. churned at a lower temperature than sonr cream in order to secure the best yield. The best temperature in which to ripen cream is about s xLy degrees. It should be kept cool, not below forty degrees, and the tcmpera ture be slowly raised to the desired point of ripening and churning. The oxidation requires shellow set ting or some other method of expos ing the cream to the atmosphere. In all deep setting, souring the cream becomes necessary to develop flvor, as the oxidation is only partial. The natural butter flavor, developed by oxidation, is milder than the lactic-acid developed by touring. Hence it is that many consumers pre. fer the latter, which they are used to, as nearly all the buttor is made from sour cream. The contradictory cpinions in re gard to sweet-cream butter appear to come from'diferent ways in which the cream is handled, only a few knowing how to do it. But if one only makes good sweet-cream butter it demon strates the fact that it can be done. Colonel T. D. Curtis, in Farm, Field and Fireside. Farm and Garden Notes. Fowls do not wear overcoats. Only a little crack or nail-holc but? Only a small head roosting near said little crack or nail-hole-but? Only a little cold contracted from the little draught--but? It's roup. Clear, cold water is a great thing in butter making, but hot water is quite as essential. Better cover the sides and roof of the poultry house with tarred (or other) roofing paper, then there will be no cr,acks. o''ettheiiania s be by trying to winter them too Judious feeding and care round is what we are after. Always use paper on the "ontp of the house first, and then line th in side if thought necessary. It will be necessary for very cold climates. The pigs will, if given the oppor tunity, do much cleaning where threshing was done out doors; so will the chickens, and without tearing thg ground up so much. Let those who are building up their flocks and herds not neglect to hecad them with the best animals obtainable. These can be bought right, while scrubs are dear at any price. When it comes to quality, there is far less difference in the best butter made by deep and shallow setting and by centrifugal separating than dairy men were formerly led to suppose. A ton of butter taken from the farm removes scarcely any fertility, while ton of wheat removes about $3.503 worth and a ton of corn about S5 worth. Surely, the dairy farm should inprove. Men who have made great records in any department of live stock, have first learned how to handle the stock for best results and then got the ani mals that were built for that kind of business. All that a farmer has to do to in augurate a system of improvement in his poultry is to kill off every scrub cock and replace them with thorough breds; next season they will be half breeds; a long step ahead. If a young man is thinking of being a breeder of any improved breeds of live stock, and he has not learned of a successful father, he better put in a year for some man who has mase~ the business, rather than start withon.. that experience. Compared with weil.otted barn ma nure, t^here are 48.60 pounds of phos phoric acid in hen manure to six in barn manure, forty-one pounds of pot ash to ten in barn manure. The analy sis is based on a ton each cf hen and barn-yard manures. There is no good reason why the family flock of poultry on every farm in the land should not be graded up to a high quality by crossing with pure bred males; at this season of the year thousands of pure bred cockereis ard for sale at reasonable figures.

Although rice is generally regarded by the Chinese as the "staff of life," a large quantity of wheat has been used from the most ancient times, and in the carlicst class.fications wheat !s mentioned as one of the five grains. in the northern provinces, where rice is not grcn and can only be pur chased by the well to do, rheat is the most common cereal, but it is of a very poor quality. Blastcd heads are seen In large numbers every year and ergo tism is a too frequent cause of disease among the poor. The wheat Is ground in a very pr!mi tive process. The mill consists of two light stones, which are turned by aid of a blindfolded mule. This flour Is coarse and dark, chieuy used in the form of vcrmcelli, and, when ste.med, makes good substItutC for rice, and v-hen miZed with a little broth, flav ored with a dash of soy, It forms P rery savory dish.

The string3 are general7 lengthened by pulling down "littlo b7 little" the lower suca, a dozen or twenty stringo being fztened to each pair if sticks. The chopped vermi 2011is made by rolling out the dough and cutting It in thin strips :ith a knife faztened li:v a straw chopper. Wheat f!cur is also used for making rolls or patties; the latter cra d!pped and these are ccoked by steaming, a_ i re the many varIeties of pattiee con lainir.g minced meat., molasses, er , kind of Jam.
