In soiu States the farms have indifferen! houses, but large and elegant barns,, i," the term elegant may be used in such a connection. This plan is not to be commended. The most valuable crop grown upon the farm is thf crop that is growing in the house, and it should be housed in a building that is a; perfect that mechanism and ob servance of the laws of hygiene can rcdt it. There is plentj of room on the farm for the construction of the house, and it should be built of suffi cient size to permit of large, airy rooms, if the pocket book will admit of such a structure. The cellar de serves more attention than it usually receives. A hole in the ground is not necessarily such as should be under a house. It should never be forgotten that the dampness and odors of this hole will permeate the whole house. l',ad cellars have been the cause of an immense amount of disease and death. On ground that is not naturally abso lutely dry -and there is comparative ly little such ground, and is exclu sively found in the arid sections the outside of tho cellar wall should be cemented to keep out the water. It should contain a cement lloor. If there is no cement floor, at "tho bot tom of the wall Hat stones should be h'.id to extend a few inches beyond the wall. This will be an absolute prevention of the entrance of rats at the bottom of thewall. The rat when it enters at the bottom of the wall al-. ways croes straight down tho side. j straight down -the side, and it doe a . 1 " . be dry, and if the entrance is proper ly guarded, which it always should be, it will be rat proof.

First, put down a layer of vegetable matter, such as barnyard manure, night soil, hen manure, refuse from the vege table and fruit piles, scrapings from the woo lpile, rubbish from the gar den, in fact anything and everything in the shape of a litter. Make the layer ten feet wide by twenty feet long, and six inches deep. Over thin sprin kle fifteen pounds potash, dissolved in five or six gallons of water, which will turn -it into a jelly. Then over this scatter evenly one or two barrels of unslaked lime and cover the whole evenly with two in of fine earth; the finer the better. Kepeat this as often as you have enough matter to make a layer, as above described. When the pile is three to four feet high put on enough water to slake the lime, and "thoroughly saturate- the whole mixture, but not enough to wash or leach it, as that would carry away the best of the fertilizer. The water will cause the potash and limo to jro duce a powerful heat, and a very sud den decomposition of all vegetable matter. - This amount of material will aiake one load of fertilizer worth three or four of common barnyard manure, iiesides it will come out" as fine as ashes, and consequently be very easily handled. The' compost can be made without potash and lime, but not w ith out the water. It will not bo as rich a plant food without the lime and potash nor nearly as well balanced chemically. The potash may be ob tained froom the crude potash", or two barrels of good hard wood ashes evenly spread over each layer, instead of the fifteen pounds of potash, will be just as good. It is one of the best and cheapest fertilizers I can get. Any thing and everything can be put into it, even to a dead horse, ox, horns, hoofs, old rags and the scrapings from the woodpile, simply by-adding more potash to the last named matters, and it will all be converted into a splendid fertilizer The wash suds and the slops from the chambers should be saved for wet ting down the pile, or can be thrown on as made, as they will increase the value of the manure. The. liquid manure from the stable should not bo allowed to go to waste, but all put into the compost heap, so that nothing be Jost. C. J. Prowse. aa i never ta-te-J. W ' HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.

These, with a fair-sized Lead of let tuce, furnish the foundation for one of the prettiest dishes ever sent to table. Four off about half a cupful of the liquid from a quart can of toma toes and soak the gelatin in tin's for a few minutes. Meauwhile wash the remainder thoroughly and bring it to a boiling point in an agate saucepan, adding salt, pepper and sugar, to taste: pour fhis boiling hot on the soaked gelatin and stir until dis solved; pour into a melon-shaped crockery mold that has been standing for a few minutes full of very cold water. Set in a cold place for several hours; then turn out in a salad bowl in the centre iff nicely-arranged let tuce. Mayonnaise sauce may bo added to each slice of this, served on the lettuce, but it is very good with out. The sugar must not be per ceptible, but a little to slightly de stroy the natural acidity of the toma toes adds richness. An Inexpensive I'ruit l'tulilin. A very delicious and inexpensive boiled lruit pudding is made as fol lows: Stem and stone n cup of raisins. Add a cup of well-prepared currants and a quarter of a joound of citron. Sift a teaspoonful of soda twice w ith three cups of flour. Rub through the flour apiece of butter the size of an egg. Add a cup of water and a cup of molasses, and beat well. Put in the fruit, and add enough extra flour to mahe a batter as stiff as you can stir it. Put the pudding in a two-quart tin pail, well buttered for tho occasion, and let it boil steadily in a pot well filled with water for four hurs. It is an impiovement to the pUddiug to coat the buttered surf-Ace of the pail with sugar before putting it in. Throw a tablespoonful of granulated sugar into the pail after buttering it, and toss the sugar about, allowing it to cling to the butter until the surface is well coated. This makes a shiny coat to this extremely economical pudding. The following hard sauce is an ex cellent one to serve with the pudding: Rub to a cream half a cup of softened butter and a cup of granulated sugar. When the mass is creamy add a tea spoonful of lemon extract or orange extract and a little nutmeg. Pile the sauce ii a light pyramid and set it in a eoidiplaee to harden. A tablespoon ful of sugar, mixed over the fire with a few drops of water in a frying-pan until it has turned a rich, dark brown, will givea caramel, flavor. It cannot be used in a hard sauce, how ever, but must be m.dted by. adding a half cup of water, and stirring it un til the caramel melts. When this is added to the hard sauce with nutmeg alone for flavoring it makes a rich liquid sauce of fine llav r. Ilouitehnl'.l Hint. Ail boiled meats should be corved the moment they are cooked. High-stemmed goblets are in vogue again in place of the less decorative tumblers. Crackers in damp weather often be come soft and crumbly. To restore, their crispness, put them in a hot oven for a few minutes. A cork that is steeped for a few mo ments in hot vaseline will, i: is said, serve all the purposes for which a glass stopper is used.

Wherever orchards are m-mured with stable manure, much of the valuo of the manure is not merely wasted, but worse than wasted. The effect of the nitrogenous fertility is to encour age a rank, sappy growth of wood, and iu young trees to retard fr.iit hear ing. What the tree mainly needs in potash, and if fruiting some phosphate also. This will furnish the mineral material for producing a 'moderatn- j amount of .wood and plenty of fruit. Ihe bulk of the wood growth, if sound and healthy, is taken from the small amount of carbonic acid gas iu th atmosphere, and elaborated in tho sunlight by the leaves. If a young tree, but one large enough to beat, grows shoot a more than eighteen inchesTong, it should have no morn manure, except potash and phosphate, until it begins to bear. Iu old trees a grow of twelve inches in shoots per year is as much as is best for them. At this moderate rate of growth th tree will keep on bearing so long as it has plenty of potash and phosphate, and be much healthier than if over supplied with nitrogenous fertility. One of the objections of cropping orchards is the fiict that to make tho crops more stable manure is sure to be applied than is for the best good the tree. of fob. :i i oil 1 the id off. n-rialW a :uud- a handle the pot. gv,,.i. h .... . . i:tatl.runx a Pencil On liar.1. When planting the trees 1 cut off all broken roots; also about half tho length of the long ones; cut off all the.: limbs and about one-third of the top of the small trees, so when set they look like so many sticks stuck in the ground. It the trees start well, and throw out plenty of little limbs, I pinch off those I don't wish, and so am able to grow the tree very near vase shape, with open top, so plenty, of sunshine can get in. For plant food I use chemical fertilizers solely. The phosphoric acid 1 supply with line ground bono and potash in sorno form, usually from high-grade mu riates. Canada ashes are excellent for the peach orchard. Nitrogen comes from the bone and what clover is plowed under. In setting thn trees Fuse two or three haudfuls of line ground bone mixed with the soil, and, after the roots are covered, put on a few ashes, then finish filling. After the first year sow broadcast over the land bone and potash separ ately. I believe the word cultivation mean a large part of the success that will come to us as fruit grow ers, or if wo ; will take the two words intense culti vation and follow thoroughly on this line, we will lie able to secure an ex cellent growth of wood and foliage of large, long leaves, of the darkest green color. If we are so fortunate as to have a good set of fruit, and it has been properly thinned, we ball have every reason to exp.-ct beautiful and luscious peaches. Put to get them we must keep up this intense cultivation until the very last of August or first of September. Pest fruit grows on the trees with large, healthy fo!ia- If the bud are not killed by the cold winter or late frots, we get a full bloom and the peaches will , set very thick, especially with ome varieties.
