Planto in a cellar need more water than in a frame, and the water given ahoold be Inkewarm. Another, and very easy way to 'forward Khnbarb, ia to tarn a one-headed barrel over a atrong pluit, and bank f reah hone-manure all round and over it. The bottom of the barrel ahonld have aeveral holes bored through it to faoilitato the escape of Zauper- abnndant heat and gaaea, elae the atalks are apt to grow up aiokly and decay. Timely SiuccestioiiS' Keep no unprofitable cowa overTwinter. The present is the time to ouU the herd, if it has not been done already. Ten chances to one yen are keeping one or more cowa tiiat do not pay for the feed they eat. You can easily ascertain which cows are profit- able for cream by setting a little milk from each cow in a tumbler, or bettor in a cream gauge. There will be a difference in the tiiickness of the cream, and that very marked, mdess your cows are all of the same breed, and even then the difference In the cream may be noticeable. A good condition powder may be cheaply prepared on the ^f «irm. A mixture of one pound penugreek, one pound of gentian, one pound salt, one pound anlpfaato-of soda, an ounce of sulphur, pound of phosphate of soda, half a pound of chloride of iron, and half a pound of black antimony, given in teblespoonful dusee twice a day, wiU greatly assist the appetite and promote the condi- tion of the animals. A farmer's scrap-book should be kept on every well-regulated farm. There are thousands of recipes for the curing of sick animals which may be of great vuae if re- ferred to at the proper time. Usefnl hinta regarding special crops may be forgotten unless preserved in this manner, convenient for reference. Plans for farm bnildiogs or their interior management may tra pre- served until wanted. Gates, fences, ditohes, and the numerous other things which make up the bnsinsss of the farm, require frequent repairs or entire oenstnction, and the hints and helps which may be afforded if the scrap-book has been well kept are of immense value. The necessity of keeping horses away from quagmires in the public roads ia shown by the manner in which one of my horses is affected since it became 'stalled in one not long ago. Since the occurrence, when- ever the horse tonches a soft place in the road it trembles all over with fear, every muscle in ito body seeming to shake, and it has to be led away from the 'apot, refus ing to be driven. Gnunbly Batter Winter-made butter carries ito own cer- tificate of quality. It is usually white and tallowy, and crumbles into snuJl fragmente. It is always deficient in the oily part of the fat. Fat conUsta of three acids -stearic, margaric, and oleic, combined with glycer- ine. Stearic aoid, or steerine, is hard, white, and friable oleio acid,3er oleine, is yellow, toft,'and oily, and dQntes the whiter and harder stearin? and margarine. In the winter the oleine of the butter da in much less proportion, being used up in making fatt'tkeepthe animal warm. Andunlessfood that is rich in oil is provided for the cows, the butter made in the {winter will always be hard and crumUy, and white in color. This fact applies also t3 some cows, which consume the oleine of the food, and conse- quently make white, hard butter at all times but much more so in winter than in sum- mer, while other's make rich, yellow, and oily butter. The rich butter of the Jersey cows is associated with a lean carcass, while â- ome other cows are always fat and aleek, but their butter is white and of poor flavor. Much however, may be done in tiie way td feeding to secure an excellenti qn^ty of buttor, even in wintor. Some of those who have made winter dairybg a special bnsi- neas are much troubled by the poor quality of the butter, and farmers genendly, who make bntter this season, oomplain almost univer- sally of the same difficulty. WUle some part of it Uea in the cows, beyond donbt, yet the greater part of the diffionlty ia in the feeding, and dairymen muat provide an abundance of food tliat is rich in oily mat- ter, to supply both the want of the oow for lisnelf to sQstain the vital warmth and to leave an abondMit surplna for the bntter. A oantion may be given i^ainst depending cm the so-called ollmfials for this nnrpeee. By the new processes in use in the mills every partide of oil in cottonseed and lin- â- eed ia taken oat, by means of benzine, or naphtha, as it is sometimea called, which dissolves the oil and leavea the meal entire- ly free of it. Formerly thwe meals contain- ed from 10 to 18 per cent, of oil, and .they ware tiian meat valnaUa food for fattening and the batter dairy. Now they are of no ua for making fat. excepting so far aa their motain elamente may be oenvntad into it i^ a ronndabont tranaf ermatien bat it ia bown that fat, fldven in the food, is formed Into aa emnlaion oy tba praoesa of maatioa- tion and dlgeation, and b assimilated di- caetly and ta«en into tiie blood by the way al the laotoalveaa^ and tbap'r^ vein If we want togetiiohmilk we most feed faod rich in oil and the beat food of thb kind wa ban nae b liay ar fodder, ao tiutit b Hunon^y maaticated and made to yield up ita oQ toWM aetbibaf tta aaUva.

There b dso an Englbh line daring the sanmier fromLntiito Reykjavik. Iceland b by no means tiie diminutive country which people who do not look at large maps are in danger of supposing it to be, when they read that thepopalatton does not exceed thit of a third- rate Englbh town. It b possible to travel f rem east to west in a direct line for a greater distance than from London to Carlisle, so that the island b red- ly of very respectable dimensions. Nor are the people, remote as b their dwelling-place from the centres of sweet ness and ught, by *sfy means an uncultured raoe. They have had a Parliament of their own â€" ^the Althingâ€" for now nearly a thou- sand years, and th^y are a great ded better insturcted than European populations gen- erdly The ordinary cockney tourist would hard- ly find himself at home among them; but anintelligent observer. Interested in thestody of nature and in the ways of isolated com mnnities, might really do much worse dnr-' ing the summer months than brace himself np for the winter by a week or two In Iceland. Fishing and farming are the Icelander's principd pursuite, and fishing b more im- portant, perhapa, than farming. There are praoticdly no manufacturers in the country, and trade b so little developed that np to last year the island did not even possess a bank, though the Althing waa seribudy oc cnpyfaig itself with the establishment of audi an institation. Some interesting in- formation on the Icelandic fisheries b con- tained in the last report presented to the Foreign Office by Mr. Conscl Paterson. The Iceluia fidierman's best customers are not hb comparativelv near neighborsâ€" he has no neighbors at ail but the Greenland- ers, with six hundred miles â€" ^but the Spaniards. A good deal of the fish caught goes to Copenhagen, but more to Spain, and Spain gets the pick of the catehes. Wheat growing b no part of the Icebnd farmer's industry. For that the climate b not warm enough. Be breeds flocks and herds, and durir'g hb short summer b much concerned for the result of his hay harvest. These, last year, were not satisfactory in the southern parte of the island, owing to the occurreace of wet weather bte in the onmmei' A farther redaction of live stock was tbe ooi es^aecce of the scarcity ol| odder.

If a Hindoo has a daughter who remains •• an unapproprbted bleuing" at the age ot ten yeara, he oondders himself dbgnoed. From the day of her birth he b anxious to seoure her a husband As a portionless girl b not attractive to men, the father saves a littie every year, so that' hb daughter's dowry may increase her vdne in the matri- monial market. The young lady b not consulted. The bridegroom may tie old and republve, but she accepta him as the; husband to whom her father has sold her. Even if he b young and comdy, her Intorest in him b far less thui that with which she surveysthe jeweb that adorn her person. The wedding cere- monies and feasto which celebrate her sde and delivery to a master, are far more at- tractive to her childbh nature than b her husband. When she b transferred, as if she wero a hcardess and soulless animd, to her lords house, she begins a dull, dreary life, reliev- ed only by the cares of the kitehen, the nur- sery, Mid.the idob ,4nd broken by the scold ings of her mother-in-law. Scholars tell us that not a few of the ens toms of modern dviiizition originated in In- dia. Perhaps they would assert that the cultured European marries ff his daughter to-day as the nnonltorad Hindoo has done for hundreds of years. Ccdrtainly, the fol- lowing anecdote, if it b illustrative of a general praotice, endirses his assertion. A Sootoh farmer's wife was one day ex- plaining to a ntighbor how well she had married her daughter, who had anew house filled with new furniture, and many acres, on wliich cows, sheep, pigs and poultry fed, to say nothing of a gig, in which to drive to market, " jbt like a leddy." The neighbor expreaaed her delight at such a grand marriage. " Oh, there's nae donbt it's a grand marriage;" answered the mother, " an' it ^asna jist for ae thing." " An' what might the ae thing be ' aak- ed the now cnrioas ndghbor. '• Wed, ye see," answered the mother, as if the "ae thing" was of littie consequence, « the pnir silly cratur canna thob [endure] her man His Beward. Moral leaaons are not easy to inculcate and the distreased teacher finds herself be- tween Scylla and Charybdis. A school teacher In Cdifornia reodved for a Chrbt- maagifta pair of flower vaaea, whi* she kept upon her table.

He owns more grain elevators than any man in the country and ships more grain than any two men on the Chicago Board of Trade. George Tiptos was a farmer In Madbon county, Kentacky, about twenty years ago. He became financially involved and went to the West Indies. He secured control of a small bland of tbe Bahama group which proved to be rich in phosphates, from which he amwsed great wedth. He ruled auto- cratically, and no women or intoxicating li'qaors were permitted upon the bland.
