It is simply an air-tight wooden
with a roof over it to shod the
rain. It is filled with fresh green
fodder, tightly packed in to exclude
the air; the fodder is left to ferment
and heat, which it does up to 140 de¬
grees or more, and is then covorcd up
with n foot or so of cut siraw and
doubled boards, ora quantity of hay
upon it to preserve tho fodder from tnc
air. The walls are made tight by
doubling the boards, with tarred roof¬
ing paper between them; tbe inner
wall is of matched boards, and is
painted with hot gas tar or any other
cheap paint .—Few Yur'c Worll.
STARTING EARLY POTATOES.
For several years it lias been my
practice to start our early potatoes in
the following manner;—The potatoes
are cut as usual for planting, After
covering the bottom of a shallow box
with a layer of horse manure and then
u layer of earth place a layer of cut po¬
tatoes carefully and cover wilh snnd
and so continue till the box is filled.
Put it in a warm place and water occa¬
sionally, aud when tho ground is warm
enough for planting they arc ready to
set out, well rooted and sprouted, In
this way potatoes may bo obtained at
least two weeks earlier titan those
planted in the usual way, and this year
when to many are obliged fo buy it i»
an object to get them as early as po?-
sible. The directions I had were to
use a barrel, but the sprouts of those
near tho bottom of tho barrel were too
long to Bet out.
RAISING PEDIGREE PIGS.
It has been our fortune to witness
the financial ruin of many men who
have embarked in tho fancy pig busi¬
ness. That is raising pedigreed pigs
for sale. In each case as we remember
it, tbe breeder depended upon his fa rm
produce to carry the pigs. This could
not be economically done on a general
farm, but with a dairy that not only
supported itself with tho butter pro¬
duct but had the skim milk and butter¬
milk over for his food, we do not see
why it shou'd not pay all the time.
Skim milk is proper food only for
breeding sows and young growing pigs.
That is, in thnt way it pays better than
to food it to mature or nearly grown
hogs. Therefore, wc say if you wisli
to become a breeder of fancy pigs, then
make it ttu offshoot of the dairy so as to
turn the by-product to the best advan¬
tage .—American Dairyman.
UtlUNiNO ItOSKfl.
-The low bush or dwnrf form is tho
best on all accounts for our so-called
hardy roses. Tho shoots that grew tho
previous year should be cut buck in
early spring to six inches or a foot from
the ground. From these stems that are
left will be now shoots which will bear
the present year’s bloom. In all cises
the shoots that flower start from tlie
wood that grew last year, and the object
of pruning is to keep this new grows))
down close to the ground, and to regu-
late the amount of bloom by the qunn-
tity of last year's growth that is allowed
to remain. In spito of tho best of
pruning the tendency of tho plant is to
make its new wood higher up each year,
but tho skillful pruner will attend to
and not allow his plant to get up
too far; a shoot sometimes starts volun¬
tarily, or, if not, it can bo forced
out low down, and advantage f=s taken
of it to renew the whole plant,
cutting away ail tho older growth
above it. Thus, with a iittlo care, the
rose bushes cau be kept low, aud iu
this form they are easily sheltered iu
winter, easily syringod, and their flow¬
ers are produced where they are best
displayed. The yearly care required
for x doxen roso plants in the garden
need not exact twelve hours, au hour
apiece.
These remarks about pruning apply
to the most popular kind of roses, those
commonly cultivated, tho Hybrid, l'cr-
petuals aud AIosscs. It would uot do
to prune so closely the hardy yellow
roses and tho climbing prnrrio h>scs.
But the general principle of shortening
in the growth of the previous year” ap¬
plies the samo to these. The lit tic

FIRMING THE SOIL.
One item in securing a good germi¬
nation of the seed is contact with the
soil. But this must uot be so close as to
exclude the air. If the soil contains an
excess of moisture whon ihe seed i-
planted and the soil is pressed down
upon them after plauting, it is v j i y
oflen the ease that the seed will t o;;
when, ii ihe soil is loft a tiiiie loose so
that the air can penetrate an l reach the
seed, a good germina'ion of tho seed
be secured. Something depends
the land and conditions of the soil
or not firming should ha done
planting, and to say that tho soil
nlways be firmed after tho feed
would undoubtedly proves
in mauy cases.
Often when it would be unadvisablo
iu ihespriug to firm, it would be
best thing to do later on nftcr the
got warmer and drier. A light,
loamy soil will ueod firming when stiff
clay will not.
It h only in exceptional cases that
firming tliQtild be done with the curliest
planted seeds; while ou the other linud
Into planted seeids will nearly always be
benofittod by firming. This applies to
nearly all kind of see ls. Corn and po¬
tatoes if planted early, unless the soil
is In a better condition than the aver¬
age, firming should not bo done, But
later on after tlio soil gets more thor¬
oughly warmed up, firming is most al¬
ways beneficial to both of these crops.
With many of the seed a in the garden
that at best need only a light covering
and that aro not usually planted until
alter, all danger of it ostia past, firming
call be done with profit, llut to press
the Toil down upon them if planted
early, when tho soil is usually wet and
cold, would prove disastrous.
A quicker und better germination can
nearly always be secured if the soil is
well firmed with all late planted seeds,
especially if the weather is dry. A
certain amount of inoisturo as well as
heat is necessary to induce germination
with ail seeds, and' late planted seeds
can often secure this much better if the
soil is firmed.— Farm, Field and Stick,

KINDNESS IN THE DAIRY,
it is a fact that a cow with gonerouj
feeding and good care, but with cross
and unkind treatment,' will not yield ns
great a profit as site will with kind
(rciifmeni. A good dairy cow is ox.
Iremely sensitive and rtsponsivo to
kiadniss and abuse. * It ig plain that
when the milker approaches a cow and
she gi zes at tini with eyes filled with
fear and trembling and gathers herself
together to receive an expected blow,
she is not going to yield as great an
amount of milk, or as rich in quality,
ns she wou d if her eyes gave him a
glad welcome. Kindness begets kiud-
ness, and the cows arc few that will not
do their very best when kindly treated.
There is occasionally one that is natu¬
rally vicious, and it is a waste of time
mid i alienee to try to change their
nature. Sell her to the butcher and
end her vicious existence. It is a very
easy matter to have a herd of dairy
cattle that are kindly disposed to each
other and to those who have the care
them. If you happen to hire n man
whom the cattle fear or dislike,
keep him, even if he would work
his board, for you would loose money
by it. The first consideration in
a man on a dairy farm is that ho is
and gentle to animals. When wc
a man lie knows that if the cattle
like him he must. go. We hired a
young man once who proved to
naturally vicious; he stayed nearly a
week, did not openly break any of the
rules, hut all the caltle in the section
of the barn where he worked disliked
and feared hi in, and some of the most
gentle ones would not let him tio or
untie thorn; and those he fed but did
not milk, as wcl 1 as those lie milked,
shrunk heavily in their milk yield.
Kindness does not cjst a cent, only
I he use of a little sclf-cimtrol and self-
respect. When you kick a cow just
pause and (hink that you are k'eking
dollars out of your pockets; and when
you pound her' with’ your milk stool
that you arc robbing your wife and
children of the necessaries of life, and
you probably won’t do it. Let every
man who desires to make the greatest
profit from his dairy cows try kin lucss
and gentleness, just from the stand¬
point of business policy, an l lie will

$10,000 FOUND IN AN ASH BABREL.
A New York rag-picker is reported to
have found $10,000 m greenbacks in an ash
barrel. This Was a rare piece of good luck,
but howmuch more fortunate is the sufferer
from consumption Who learns that, although
tho doctors mar hare Golden pronounced his caso
hopeless, l)r. Pierce's Medical Dis¬
covery will cure him. Consumption is a
scrofulous disease Of the lungs. The “Dis¬
covery,” which is the most potent blood-
purifier of tho age, strikes right at the root
of the evil and there is no resisting it, if
taken in time all and scrofulous given a and fair other trial. blood In
tho cure of
taints, no matter from what cause arising,
scalp diseases, old sores and swellings, it
absolutely has no equal.

“creams” and strong caustic solutions with which the public have long been humbugged,
simply palliate for a short time, or drive the disease to the lungs, as there is danger of doing
in the use of such nostrums, but it produces perfect and permanent cures of the
worst cases of Chronic Catarrh, as thousands can testify. “Cold in the Head”
is cured with a few applications. Catarrhal Headache is relieved and cured as if by
magic. It removes offensive breath, loss or impairment of the sense of taste, smell or hear¬

Irish Poets;
From Charles tie Kay’s profusely illtis-
trated article oh the “Old Poetic Guild
iu Ireland” we quote the following: “The
long training of the people in verse-com¬
posing and verse-reciting predisposes
them to the composition Irishmen of poetry and of Irish¬ some
degree of excellence.
women as a rule have a knack at writing
if they receive any education at all, and
are natural journalists and writers at an
early ifge. The last remarkable poet of
the file kind known Ireland was Carolan,
the blind bard of the last century, whose
portrait, and some of whose verses, trans¬
lated end in the original, were published
by James llardiman. lie was ns peripa¬
tetic as Homer is said to have been, blind
also, and Though ceitainjy a fine if not a great
poet. the race is not extinct,
little except the most ordinary verse is
published small in Irish to-day, the audience
being too to tempt the most ardent
patriot. With all its inherited short¬
comings, and with the evils that befell it
ow ing to circumstances, Ireland did the poetic guild
of ancient the world a great
service in keeping national from destruction his¬
torical and data lost from other
parts of Europe. It also added not a lit¬
tle to the world’s stock of tragic, of noble,
and of comic fiction .”—The Century.
Modern Bridesmaids
Bridesmaids are very important and
picturesque features of the modern wed-
ding, and their costumes are not only ex¬
tremely rich, but in many cases really ar¬
tistic as well. At an English wedding
this winter, the bridesmaids wore gowus
of white silk draped with white gauze
and trimmed with silver guloon, while
large Gainsborough hats covered with
white ostrich feathers adorned their
heads. At a “violet wedding” the brides¬
maids were dressed in costumes of purple
ve/vet copied from a popular wedding, painting,
and a novel feature of this was
that many of the guests wore costumes
which were in some shade of the same
color.
