—Hose Unit wick Thorpe.
Nolen From “Tl»© Southern Planter.*
Wo desire to urge the importance of
plowing the land in beds, instead of follow*
ins the old course of plowing round the
field and finishing in the center. Lar cff
the field into bed?, six or eight yards wide,
with the furrows running slightly off the
direction of the line of the natural drain*
age. This will insure a gentle flow of the
surplus rainfall, and thus prevent washing.
Plowed in beds in this way, the whole field
can he left light and untrodden, whilst, if
the old course he followed, the corners and
the center will be trocUlen as compactly as
though they had never been plowed. Work
to each side of the field, and then when nil
lias keen plowed except the breadth of land
at each aide upon which the horses hare
turned, plow thia breadth lengthwise and
thus leave the whole field light and ready
r .or the ameliorating action of the winter
frosts.
*•••••
The present month is a good time also to
commence terming steep hill lands. Only
by terracing can washing be prevented on
tnesa lands. Lay ofl the terraces in such a
way as to give a gentle slope to the beds
across the face of the hill, so that the water
nay find its way to the bottom by degrees,
and without washing off the soil. If the
hill be Tery steep, the terrscee must be
narrow ones, and as thestretmeadecreases
I hey' nay be widened until they run out
into the level land at the top. All landsof
this character should as terraced be got
into permanent g/ass ae soon as possible.
Manure them well, and make them rich,
and then sow pennsnent grass seeds. In
thi< way they will be bound together and
washing be stopped, and will become valu*
able pasture lands.
• ••*••
Lose no opportunity of gathering to*
gather the lcavew and weeds on the farm
;«nd in the adjoining woods. If gathered
dry, they will form valuable additions to
the beading material for the pros and
stables. If not needed for this purpose,
make them into heaps when damp and
sprinkle them with lime aa thrown up to
aiaist them in decaying. There heaps may
be afterwards mixed with barnyard ma
nure, aa tho same Is made, and thus by the
spring form valuable compost hespejready
|*nn!y t,» the land whan planting.
\\e iv pc at our advice of last month ss
togsitirc ready all buildings and sheds for
the honing of the livestock. The nights
are now becoming cold, and stock, with the
exception of sheep, will be better placed
under shelter.
• •••••
If your barnyard be not well enclosed
t hr a good icnce, ast about the work at
ince, and nut up a fence at least fue feet
aigb, and let it enclose a sufficient space
'or the stock to have room to walk about
and obtain exercise. Thia will enable you
to have the stock under control all the
winter, and prevent them tramping over
the wet fields, punching them into holeato
hold the water, and generally undoing a
large part ot the fall plowing. The yard
(should have a shed on tbs north side; with
this addition, young stock and sheep may
l>e tuflicienlly sheltered during the average
winters here. Kncloest all straw, hay and
fodder stacks with a fence to prevent stock
Mflheg them and waating the produce.
This should be fed to the stock in racks,
and what they pull through and waste be
ut*4 for bedding. Economy in these mat*
ten will mean a large addition to the stock-
carrying capacity of the farm, and hence
o the manure heap. Straw or fodder
nerely pulled out of the stack and trodden
ander foot into the mud is not manure, ex*
tept oi a very inferior character. It should
ae largely ram; and converted into dung,
or be mixed with the dung and liquid void*
logs of the stock, to be ready valuable.
Waldo Ilrovt n oo ‘•Concrete.**
From Home and Earn.
I believe that if farmers knew the value
of concrete, by which is meant a kind of
liquid stone, made of broken stone, gravel
and cement, that it would be used largely
in the farm v 1 will try and tell how to
throw in eight or ten inches of stone and
break them with a sledge and level them
off, nnd then spread gravel on top. and
use a straight-edge and spirit-level and
level it. Small boulders can oe used in
place of the broken 'tone, or if s.one can
not be had .*ili with gravel or good clay,
and let the horns stand on it lor a time
until it is stamped solid. For a hone stable
fc«»or I would put in afoundationiix inches
deep and finish with two inches of the
liquid *tone, but for a cellar or feed room
a 3-inch foundation and 1 -inch finish is
sufficient. The foundation is made by
mixing gravel from which the sand has
been scrcecsd, or finely-broken stone with
common cement, using one barrel of ce
ment to five of the gravel or stone, The
stone will make the best foundation, and
it is best at least to have half stone, al -
though a good job can be made with gravel.
In mixing thi* material with the cement
but little witer will be required, but it
must be thoroughly worked so that every
pebble will be coated with ib
This should be spread down not more
than two inches at a time and tramped
solid. The final coat is to be raado of clems,
sharp sand, not too fine, mixed two parts
to one with cement. If for a horse or cow
stable, use Portland cement, but for a cel
lar the common will answer. Mix it dry
and rescreeu it after mixing. It should be
wet and tempered a little at a time, one
person mixing a.* another spread* iL In
putting down the last or finishing coat, lay
a section 2J or 3 feet wide at a time, what
you can easily reach across. Use a strip
of hcatd to kueel on jutl as thick aa you
wish to lay the cement, and then by min*
a short straight-edge across to the last strip
hid, you c*n get it evenly spread and oi
unitor iu thickness. After laying down a
strip, before moving your plank to 1st an
other, go over it and amoolh it ofl with the
trowel.
I make a cellar or feed room floor
smooth ns possible, but a stable floor
should be left a little rough, so that the
stock will not slip on it, and a little coarse
sand may be sifted over it as soon as spread
and before it dries, and this will roughen
the surface so as io make the horses’ feet
hold ou it. The stablea must not be uned
until it is thoroughly hardened, and this
will require from three to four weeks, di«j
pending somewhat on the weather. When
you first begin to use it, it is wise to put
plenty of bedding in the stalls, as this will
lessen the danger of marring it, if not per
fectly cured out end solidified. To give an
idea of the cost of a floor, 1 will state that
a neighbor two years ago floored a stable
44 feet long and 15 feet wide, and it took
eight barrels of Louisville cement, costing
$1.50 per barrel, lor the foundation, and
six barrels of Portlaud cement, coating $-1
per barrel, for the finish, making $36 for
the cement. Oak lumber costs $25 per
thousand, and to have to putin strong oak
joist and 2-inch plank would require
about 2.000 feet for a floor oi this size,
costing $50.
Among the advantages of this floor are
its durability, the fact that no rats can
harbor under it. and that all the liquid
manure is savesi. Beautiful and perma
nent walks can be made of this material.
They must be finished with the Portland
cement, but an in^h or les< will auswer for
the last cost. A wslk 2J fret wide will
answer well. Yuu must excavate down to
a solid foundation, 18 inches or 2 feet, and
fill with gravel to within 0 inches of the
top, and then lay it just as you would a
stable floor. I think 6 cents a square foot
will cover the coat o! the cement, but I
cannot give an estimate ot (he cost of the
work, as that uej»ends on how convenient
the materials c.tn be had.

u«e it, and where it will be cheaper acd
better than plank lor floors. 1 have had
an experience of twenty-five years with
the basement barn, and as it was dug down
quite low, and the underaide of the boards
was always damp, the stable floors would
lot out quickly. X bed a root cellar in a
part of it, aud to see if it would not save
the floor 1 put in a joist and raised it about
a foot; but ae the air could not circulate
under ft, the boards rotted io two years so
that we broke through. I think I put a
half doteu floor* in the stable, aud, finally,
bearing that some barns in tke lower part
of toy county had been built with concrete
floors, I visited and inspected them. I
soon discovered that cement would make a
permanent floor, for I found stables floored
with it that haul been In constant me for
several yean and showed no signs of wear.
I also learned that the material to nut in a
first-class floor, which I believe will last a
generation without repairs, did not cost aa
much as good 2-inch oak plank and joist
would; but the work of putting it down
was perhaps a little more, acd that a floor
for a cellar or feed room, where no stock
would tramp, couid be made ot common
cement at considerably less cost than a
floor of inch boards.

whi e the common cement, costing $1 50
per btml, answers just ssweil for a cellar
or feed room. For a horse stable the fin-

Used regularly, it become* a sort nf appe

of it regularly are seldom troubled with
those ailments which call for pills and
physic. The fruit-eater ia seldom bilious.

noise as of a rushing wind, and down the
mountain tame the fairy chariot, drawn
neither by the owls nor the 6wr\n«, but by
twelve large eagles. Linda now knew that
tbe fairy had sent her aid, and seating her
self in tho chariot was soon at her home.
Kunning into the house she critd: “S*e,
set, mother, I have found the pearls in the
mountain.”
But in*lead of being rejoiced over the
recovery of the jewels, the mother was
white with rage, and, selling the child by
the arm, cried: “ Wicked child, you have
stolen these, and also the books aud golden
needles, 'snd have bidden them in the
mountain; else how could you find them
in one night ?”
“Indeed, mother,” cabbed the child, “I
have not stolen them. The fairy Blanka
helped me to find them.”
But the mother would hear nothing, and
drove the friendless child out into the
street. L»ne and aad, Linda wandered
again to the mountain, where she sat dosu
on an old muss covered stone, and, shed
ding bitter tears, wished she was dead. As
she thus ?at a alight rustling in the busht*
routed her, »od looking up she saw her old
friejd and teacher, who inquired the cause
cf her trouble. Whin Linda had related
her grievances the old woman said: “I
prophesied that good foriutie would come
to you, ard now it is here.”
Hjarcely had these words been spoken
wh?n the fairy chariot, drawn by the
twelve eagles, was present, and instead of
the old woman, the fairy Blanka herself
stood near and said: “Your trouble* are
at an end. Come with me.”
8he then carritd Linda away to the
beautiful pa'ace in fnirvl'ind, where she-
wav happy ever afterward. But the cruel
stepmother and her two daughter* lived in
great want; as punhment for their evtl

Many, m uy yeir* ago when the good
little fnirits in do their homes in the forest
and the flowery dells, there was a little
g rl unmed Linda, who lived with her step
mother aud her two sisters. Th* poor
chi:d was in great need of a mo.her’* lea
der cere; hut she tried to be hsppy, and
performed, uncomplainingly, all ihe hard
tasks impO'td upon her. Altho igh but 10
years old, she must carry wood, draw water
and wait upon her elder aiiteis from morn
ing until nigbt. She was kept so busy
that there was no time for ner to go to
schoo 1 ; and often she looked longingly at
the rows ot bonksoothoahdvt'saad wished
that she might,learn to r«ad and become
wise.
Oae dsy as Linda sat retting for a few
moments ou the doors’.* p an old woman,
bint a'moat double with rge, came to the
iittla girl, »nd, in a p!eat.wut voice, said;
“Linds, whv are you not at school with
