On the 12th of February, I began to prepare my land, and on the 13th day I broke it up. Then, the 13th day of March, I hauled out and composted my manure. On the 24th I rebroke it, and on the 27th I ran it off. The 3rd day of April I began to scatter out my compost, and then there came a small amount of rain on it. On the 6th day of April I ppt out two sacks of Bonanza guano, and wrapped it up. Then, on the 13th day of April I planted it. The wind was blowing from the east, and was cold for that time of the year, but my land was in a very nice condition for planting. The weather stayed cold, and on the Bth of May 1 ran over it and replanted and chopped some in it. After this we had a long dry spell. On the 12th day of May I plowed one side, the weather continuing dry. Then, on the 20th day of May I plowed the other side; after which I pulled off the suckers,—and we still had no rain. On the 25th I sided and split the middles, and the next day went over and suckered it again. The 6th of June I plowed one side, and the ground was almost as dry as ashes. On the 10th of June 1 went over it again, pull ing off the suckers. The wind was blowing hard, the sun shone hot, and it looked like every thing would die. I had not had a season since I began to plow. The 14th day of June I began to plow one side for the last time, and put out a hundred pounds of soda. We yet had no rain and the corn was twisted so that it never got straight all night. I On the 19th we had w veiy nice rain, but it had stayed dry most too long. The corn htd turned yellow. After the 24th, II firmed plowing out the other 'side, and put out another 100 ! pounds of soda. The ground was yet dry, and we did not 1 have any mose rain until the 6th of July, and nothing like a sea son then. It continued dry un | til the 12th of July. We had a light season, and it stayed dry u ltil the 12th of July. We had a light season, ar»d it stayed dry until the fourth of Auguab We liad another light fain the 9th, but the ground had not been ' anything like wet since my corn was planted.

Not one house in a hundred is properly heated and ventilated. This iB one reason for our having twice or three times the amount of colds, headaches, pneumonia and catarrhal troubles and gen eral inefficiency that we should have in the winter. We are so closely housed at this season of the year that in badly heated and ventilated rooms, churches, school-houses and public halls it is extremely easy to contract contagious disease and even con sumption itself. But you say, what is proper heiting and ventilating? Pro per heating and ventilating is supplying from 1,500 to 3,000 cubic feet of fresh air at a tem perature of t0 degrees to each person every hour. In addition to this, the air should contain considerable moisture. Air that is so dry that it will shrink and draw furniture apart and kill flowers and plants in a room is at least unfit for human use. In the average house using a fireplace or stove for heating it is difficult to properly heat or ventilate the house in cold weather, but even then much can be done to improve condi tions. In the fir^ f yUce, get the thermometer i.abit. Keep an easly read thermometer in the living room and the work room. Hang it in a place where it can be readily seen and a place hav ing the average temperature. Next, keep this thermometer standing at as nearly 70 degrees as possible. In ventilating don't be afraid of fresh ai(. Warm it up if possible, but have it in the room at all times regardless of its in coming temperature. Fireplaces are now so constructed that fresh air is admitted from below the floor and passes up behind and at the sides of the grate, where it is heated and then allowed to enter the room above the fire place. Or this heated air may also be allowed to enter an ad joining room or into one or more rooms above. If stoves are used, by all means have them surrounded, at least part way* with some kind of japanned or galvanized iron shield; this shield should extend to the floor. Fresh air should be admitted through an opening in the floor beneath the stove, so that it may become heated by passing up between the stove and the shield. While these are probably the best means of warming the air that comes into a room, a small amount of fresh air may be admitted by raising the lower sash of the window about 2 inches and placing a strjp ir the open ing below the sash. This will permit a small quantity of air to enter r.ear the middle of the win- THOUGHT HER DEATH NEAR What a Lady to Valley Park Us £,ALIAI'>A/I IMI iimmJ i aa f** ILJ—Htc~f lOftRU IB KCgHstl 10 UcruuL Valley Pork, W.

Better ventilation may be secured by raising the lower sash several inches and placing a shield op posite this opening to deflect the incoming current of air. Another excellent practical means of ventilation is by thoroughly "airing" the rooms not less than three or four times a day. This is done by simply opening the windows and doors for a minute or two and allowing fresh air to flood the room. The feeling of exhileration following these "airings" is well worth the trouble. Try it once. Fresh air is cheap and no trust controls it. Let us have our share of it. This is the season of the year when mothers feel very much concerned over the frequent colds contracted by their child ren, and have abundant reason for it as every cold weakens the lungs, lowers the vitality and paves the way for the more serious disease that so often follow.

The entire stock of the company, which was valued at over SBO,OOO, is a total loss, but the walls of the build ing were saved and investigation may prove that they are but slightly damaged. By the ex cellent work of the firemen the loss to the buildings surrounding the large structure which was burned is very slight . Forty-One Applicants Granted Law License Stokes Man In the Bunch.
