Daring all of thoee year* ipent in deplor- ing auoh condition ae irremediable the needed implement lay on the premise* unoaed. Now the harrow folio we the planting, weedi are not allowed to get a eUrt, and the toil kept mellow all the time.

The teeth of the harrow for beet work onet be email, elender and eharp, aad snouM have a backward ilant of from forty to fifty degrees. Good work can not be expected where the aarface of the field ie covered with coarse rubbieh.

If the toil ie mellow and tree from obetmotion the teeth glide through the hill, doing the beet kind of work without injury to the plant*. Even in ! he garden I often run a light harrow over the ground when the pea*, bean*, beet*, etc., are nearly ready to break tnrough the toil.

We moat firit do exact, exhaust- iv*, conolniive, practical, economic work, and then we mutt find mean* to get that work utilized or it it an economic dead loss. Broad Tires and Low Taxes. It hat been discovered that in localities where a coneideiable portion of the inhabi- taata ute the broad tires, the decreased lax keepe the road in better condition than tbo whole tax did when the narrow tires pre- vailed, and it is believed by men who are in a position to know, that when broad tires are universally need, the highways (all kinds, from the city pavement to the poor eet dirt road) may be kept in very much better condition than at present with one- ' fourth the pcetent cost. Beautiful Homes. One great trouble is, we art trying to bring city house furnishing and ways into our country home*. Farmers ae a rule are tired when through their day's work and will appreciate a home furnished for corn* fort. The farmer'* wife is tired enough not to be getting up every few momenta to change dishes or eerve different course*. This may be well enough when one has the mean* to hire it done, but is * needless burden when the wife ha* all to do. Let us study comfort more and fashion lees ; get thing* useful rather than ornamental, ami make every part of the home is comfortable as possible and our means will permit. On the outside let u* have beautiful vines, plants, etc. We can each aad all plant seed* of love, patience, contentment, kind- ness and charity for without these no home can bs beautiful.

A permanent pasture ihonld signify per- manency of good feed. Take good care of the young oowe, that the* may continue profitable when they are old. Lead a cow rather than drive her. Gen- tleneae ihonld be the watchword to the dairy stable. The whey following a good cheeeemaker* work ia poor feed for pigs, ae it contains but little catiin, or butter fat. The dairyman with a good well and a windmill can feel about as independent as the one who hae running water on his ftim. When you strip a cow's teals to the last drop in milking, do it not so much for the immediate gain aa to keep the udd*r of prolific habit in the future. The merciful dairyman when he draw* calve*) to market put* them in a comfortable crate, inetead of tying their legs and doub- ling them under the waggon Mat. To make the cow truly profitable, you mutt maintain her milk yield along natural line* of feeding. Indulgence in freaks of food stimulation doee cow* more harm than good.

The cow that mnat graze indnatrionaly half of the lammer to recover physically what she has loat by indifferent keeping through the winter, ia not apt to earn ollar in real profit for her owner . To Destroy Tent Caterpillars. A corrcapondent give* a simple plan by which he kept his orchard ol nearly 900 ti e< s free of the tent caterpillar. He to a small rod of iron, about three eight* of an inch in diameter, and had it drawn to a blunt point, and >t about two inchea from the pointed end bent it at an angle of about 45. He wound this bent end firmly with burlape, v> aa to mark a conical knob ex- tending beyond the bend of the roi". This he fattened to a pole of proper length ex tending beyond the bend of the rod, and perhaps one and a half or two inches in dia- meter at the Urgent part. Thit arrange- ment he fastened to a pole of suitable length, and having provided himself with torce gat tar, he was ready for operation*. By dipping this burlap knob tlightly in tl.e tar, anJ then thrutting it into a caterpil- lar's neet aa large aa a man's hat, and uaing a turning and rubbing motion, he could anal and collect the neat, caterpillar* and all, in leea than a minute's time. For email nest* in the forks of the limb* it waa only neces- ary to atroke thia saturated knob over them and you have the whole concern. In auch a way a man may remove thousand* of nest* in a dtty. An Economic Dead Loss. It ia not the wealth one gathers, but that which be put* to use, which make* him rich.

It is not the iaols of entomology we discover, but thoee which wo persuade the farmer, the garden- er, or the fruit grower to use diligently for the protection or the preservation of hit crop*, which make oar entomology econo- mic.

Arrived safely at Fort Salisbury, he had outepanned hit oxen cloee to good feeding and water, neither of which advantage* obtainednear thetownabipiteell. Unfortun- ately lung aickneaa had eat in among hie oxen, and for the safety of the majority he had drafted the actual sufferers and was grazing them on an laolated patch of grata not far from hi* wagons. One evening hit herdsman reported to him that one of the aick oxen was too far gone to be brought into kraaL The next morning the herdsman, up betimet, sought the tick ox and found it dead. He dis- covered also that aome large beaat of prey had made a meal off it. Off he hied back to hi* maater, and announced thai a lion had killed and partly eaten the ox. South African Dutchmen are not prone to believe everything they hear : en our trekker in thu inatanoe poohpoohed the notion of a lion venturing to near the camp. Bit young grandson, aged 10 yean, bad a mind inflamed by the wonderful lion kill* he bad heard en the way up and fint'.ly persuaded the old man to "go and tee. Catching up the rifle and handing bit cart- ridge belt to the boy, off he started. True enough, the care*** of the ox had been partly eaten. Dutchmanltke, he at once looked for apoor, but the ground waa too dry and hard to receive impreaaione. He then made a call around, beating through teveral pa tehee of long grata, but without aucoess. At a little dietanoe to the right of the dead ox stood one of thoee latge ant hills that are the subject of wondering interest to nearly everyone who teee them for the tint time. Said the boy, " Gran'ther, tht tchcllam might be behind that ant hill.' Leisurely the old man directed hi* step* toward the spot where he, after inspecting the ground on three aidee, waa about to give up hit queet. " Look into that bunch of lam book t* grata," auggeated the boy. Turning to do to, he waa met with full onaet by a splendid lioness. Her spring landed her on the old man's left shoulder, her weight carrying him to the ground, where she lay with her teeth set fast in the Dutchman's shoulder. He lay prone with his rifle thwartwiee under his body. Lis- ten, ye English lad*, whoee aoula are fraught with histories of daring, do. The boy, teeing the old man a plight, did not run away or set to blubbering.

His shot took effect through the loin* of the beaat, which half rose and, snarling aavagely, somewhat unnerved the lad. He withdrew a few feel farther back, , when he removed the emp'.y thell from the i rifle Mid, carefully reloading, took a aeoond ' ahot with perfect success. Shot through the heart, the animal rolled over on her aide and after a tremor or two was tlillo 1 in death. By thit time several* native* from the wagon hearing the shot*, came running up. They made a primitive kind of ambu- lance, on which they removed the man to hit wagon. A doctor was sent for and the patient removed to the temporary hospital. The writer of thia article waa a fever pa- tient at the time and can vouch for the truth of thia act of gallantry on the part of the 10- year-old boy. THE HOflE. The Babies In Summer. Too many young mother* forget that their baiue* are euaoeptible to heat, and keep them dressed so warmly that if they them selves were compelled to near the eami they would almost suffocate. Many of th* summer ailment* of children may be traced to too much clothing and too little water. W* remember a baby five month* old that kept up an almoat continual flatting and crying. Aaking the mother if it wa* not thinly, ehe replied : "Thirsty? Why, I guess not, it never had a drink in its life." The little sufferer waa promptly given a drink of cool, freah water, and the eager way in which it drank was an object 'eseon the mother will not toon forget, She could hardly forgive herself for allow ing her babe to have suffeiad so ; but tome- one had told her if aha did not give the baby water it would not have the colic. Too much clothing keeps the body weak ened, and the lack of treah water weaken* the stomach and digeetive organ*, render ing the child aiioeptible to disease. If the mother had uaed common aenae in caring for the child, it might not have been even indiepoee I. It is true that young children need to wear wool all summer, but let it not be aa heavy aa for winter. The light- eat of all-wool material ahould be made into abort sleeved shirt*, long enough to come wall over the hipe and abdomen. Light wool ia good for akirta for mornings, even ing*, and oorl daya, but do not burden babies with them during the hot daya. Bring into practice the golden ruin. Tennis flannel in cream or delicate colon ia an ad mirable fabric for aummer wear for akirta, slipa, nighutreasea, and wrappen. When baby goee to ileep do not envelop him in a cheeeeeloth cojnfortahle, or cro chet ed afghan nu matter how pretty it may be Put baby out of draught*, throw over him a square of tennis flannel leaving hie head un- overedand let him aleep and behappy, awak- ening cool and ref reahed. He will not be in a penpiration and red a* a lobster aa eo many babies are when the mother wonder*, " Why doean't baby aleep longer?" and thinka it such a hardahip that baby i* cross, then ib* probabilities are that hia croMnets ia of their own making. Babiesare not born arose, but are coddled, rolled, jolted, trotted, mailed and fed this and denied that, until they have no chance to be anything else but roes. If, by and by, they can stand their mother's ignorance no longer, but paaa over to the other side the "strange dealing* of Providence" are bewailed. Careful 'atudy of the child's needa and common een*e in dealing* with baby might h*v* saved many a mother a life-long heartache aad regret. It it said that *o much farm lan<l in Kng- land ha* lately been allowed to lapee from cultivation that wild animals, which 10 ycara ago war* in dtnger of extinction, are now flourishing and increasing.

The eoil of all inhabited Europe i* fouled. Pure water i* utterly scarce The river* have become receptacle* for all the ordures of the town*. No man of culture would risk to drink water from the Seine, from the Thames, from the Spree, or even from the Danube in Vienna. Of course, no one would u*e drinking water from the Moecow river no more than from tbe Gauges, which, by a religious superstition, hs* been made a burial place for the Hindoo. The corpees rotting in the river contamin- ate ite waters. Still, following Surgeon-' General Moore's report, we loam that the sanitary condition of the townaacd villages of India favorably comparer with that of Turkey, Penia or China. The condition of the latter may well be imagined. The marshes around the mouth* of th* Gauge* and Brahmaputra are never dry theaoii ia ever damp; the air i* poisoned with the ill smell of the stagnant water.

In thia fact we find a suggeetion aa to the most efficient weap- ons in our struggles against the epidemic*.

Aa a aoursa of in Una* light, and aa a motor-force for vehicle*, a* well a* for machinery of all kmda, it i* in exteniive use, and in tteadily growing demand; and now attempt* are made to utilize electricity for heating purpose*. An interesting apparatus of this kind * kitchen-range wae one of the exhibit* at the Vienna Exhibition in 1883, and proved to be the forerunner of similar extended and improved apparatus designed for heat- ing by electricity. The present eystem of cooking with wood, coal, or oil, or even gas, ha* many insur- mountable disadvantages, and it waa with t heobject of providing an effioientaubatitut*) for them that electric teohn.oiata were led to oooatruct th* electric kitchen-range which we are about to describe. Before going in to detail*,it will be well to direct the attention of the general reader* to the fact that every conductor of an electric current oppoeeea certain measure of resistance, whereby a portion of the electric energy i* tranamuted into heat. This reeulu ia a heating of the wire, which, under certain condition*, may become red-hot. Tha teniion of the current muat be increaaed ith the aize of the wire, in order to heat It, and to maintain it at the necessary temperature while it i* transmitting boat to other bodiee in contact with it Innumerable experiment* have been made with tue object of determining what metal-compositions can be employed for the heating- apparatus in a cooking-range. Of course, thu is an important matter for consideration, for if th* metal melta mere would b* an interruption of the current, and failure would result. Kvery electric cooking apparatus ha* a double bottom, supplied with a circular system of metallic threads which the elec- tric current must croat. Between theae metallic threada and the part of the apparat- us to be healed there is a plate of mica, which performs the double function of in- sulating the wire and conducting the heat to the walla of the cooking- vessel. Be- tween the metallic threada snd that portion of the cooking apparatus which n ia not desired to heat, there i* a strong layer of material which ia a nun uuuductoi A Fe>rt Smith, Ark., despatch says: Details of a horrible atalaof affaire existing in the mining regon in the Indian Territory have been brought here by evicted minen.

Sensational Russian Will Forger. A eenaationel trial has been concluded at >t. Petersburg.

Further, tbt tea-kettle or coffee-pot, after being heatvd by electricity, may oe placed, without dan- ger, on the moat costly piece of furniture, because it i* heated only at the part necee eary, tha other portion* of the veaael remaining quite cold.
