It is a good practice to cultivate growing crops before they are planted. Get the soil in good condition so that the seed has a perfect seedbed and then even before the plants appear, we find it the best praetioe to go over with a fine harrow or weeder, to de- good nature by the fresh air. And I j stroy the young weeds that alwajsget odicol i do. -V: .V". Crh. .', .ft Am : In !

I took the hand which he extended, and asked, "Will you tell me your name, sir?" T He told me his name-with, emphasis aud evident pride. "Do you live about here, Mr. Sea graves'?" I asked. It was a stupid enough question, but it was all that I could think to ask. To- my sin-prise it abashed him. lie felt an apparent humiliation that he had left it possi ble for any man to enter Jackson County and not know his name. Turning on his heel, he w.ait out.

The weeds not only rob the plants of the needed fertility, but use a large amount of water, which is so necessary duriug the growing season. It is not a question as to how often we cultivate, but how thoroughly. The essential things are the destruc tion of the weeds and the breaking of the crust that forms after a rain. Processor Charles W. Burkett. ip Cleanliness in Feeding Chlcka. One great trouble in feeding little chickens is to place their food in a re ceptacle which, will keep them from trampling or. it. This occurs when the food is placed on the floor of the brood room, out in the run or in pans. A good way is to take a piece of tin about four inches wide and two feet long, tack along the edges of a three quarter iuch plauk, so that the tin will project along the edges about one and a half inches on each side. Bend the tin. so as to have a shallow trough, fasten the ends of the planks to blocks which will raise the trough one or two inches from the floor. The troughs will be in easy reach of the chickens and so narrow that they cau- rassed a pair of iVarf ul 4 . . ' . h . 1 . i : ! 1 ! ! !! lo u t'ai'i v ;it or dark.

She says further , that this does net mean a damp one which smears furniture, nor one that is grimy and soiled. A suit able quality of cheese-cloth is very cheap, aud there is no reason why there should not be a generous pile of dusting cloths made from this fabric in every housemaid's closet. , The cloths t should be a yard long, and shouid be hemmed across the edges before beiug put into service. There should be sufficient to permit an ample supply for two weeks' use, half being laundried every week. Kveu competent housewives are apt t overlook the necessity for cleau furni. ture cloths.

The, best way to ventilate a bed room is to open the window about an inch at the top and insist upon its be ing left that far down, at least. while the room is occupied. The idea that an opeu window-, will give any one a ccld, even in winter, is nonsense. Every person living in the house should be expected to open his or her window wide when they leave the room in the morning, in addition to this the children should be taught to turn down the clothes from the beds and to arch the mattresses so the air -can get underneath the bedding. It is not necessary to leave the windows open long. The girl can close them, either partly or wholly when she makes up the beds. A bedroom ought to be as light, bright and airy as a sun parlor, and it can be kept so if the foregoing suggestions are followed. -New York Journal. How to Avoid Shrinkinc : VVooIen.
