The immediate Hnrroundings of farmers homes generfilly are far trom being as attrac- tive in appiearar.ce as they easily can be made. Indeed the rural front yards are, as a rule, much less beautiful and interestioK than those of people in the same general circumstancis in to^rcs and cities. In the lattpr, lawns are well cared for, and choice ornamental tree{ shrube, and flowers, are much oftencr met with than about country homes. TLere is do valid reason for this. Such tmbeiliahmi nts are not more easily ac- fHired in the city, but just the reverse. The farmer has tea'ns, implemenfcj and manures for putt; ug the house grounds in the best condition for ornamental treatment labor is quite as cheap in town, while sodding costs far less in 'the country. Trees and plants are as cheap to the farmer as to any one, wnile in many places some of the best kinds for ornament can be had from the woods for the digging. « There may be pomts in which life on the farm lacks the attractions common to town life, but in charming home grounds the faomer is certainly to blame if the city dweller excels him. It is often 'wondered why country life has not charms anfficient to hold the boys to the farm, and that they grow up longing for the city. If more at- tention were given to making their home surroundings more cheerful and attractive for the sons an^ others of the family, there would be less heard of this trouble. And in all such work every proper eflfort is sure to be seconded by the wife while nothing is more natural than for the children to be en- thusiastic helpers in this work. Such im- provements of course require some outlay, but this can hardly prove otherwise tlian a good investment. Every dollar judiciously spent in this way will soon be returned many fold in the increased valuation of any place, should it be desirable to sell, to say nothing of the greater happiness and love of home that will thus be inspired. Now that the long evenings are to hand, this subject should receive due consideration. Phns may be draws up for an improved arrangemtiit oj walks, drives, flower beds, shrubbery, borders, arfd other matters. Every detail of these can be decided upon, aud entered upon a map, long before winter is over, so that when spring opens the work* can go on intelligently and to the best ad- â-¼jictage. Poultry Raising as a Business. There is j'st now much interest in poul- try raisinji. ...d a disposition to take it up on a large scale. The following extract from one of our recent letters will give an idea of the many inquiries made of us " la poultry raising a profitable business, and would you advise a young man to invest one thoosand dollars in it "â€" This mi^ht be an- swered in brief Poultry are profi cable, and we would not advise .a young man (nor an old one) to at onoe invest one thousand dol- lars in it. Farmers ton! trie poultry yard the most profitable part of the farm, in pro portion to the capital invtsted. Many reckon in this way It titty fowls are profit- able, five hundred will be ten tini.?s as pro- fitaM-" This is an instance in which figures do not lell the truth. As soon as the num- ber of fowl 18 doubled, troubles are quad- rupled, A rarge and hcuses which will keep fifty in perfect health, will be over- crowded with one hundred, and all the troubles due to a dense population will fol- low. While wu believe that poultry keep- iccr on a Urge scale may be made profitable, capital to purchase birds and build houses, is not the .only thing needful. Those who uii lertake the businos, must icivetheir whoie time and attention to it. One point is well settled â€" foivl can not be kept together in large numbers, and thiive. The whole matter rt quires careful study and (x perimeiit. The beginner should etart in a unall way, and increase as sccess seems to warrsnt it. The point to be dett rmined at the outset, is Shall eggs or dressed fowls be the object? Each requires a dififerent management throughout, though the two may in a measure, be united. Starting with abundant capital, and no experience, will surely end in failure. The best works upon poultry management insist upon keeping towl in small flocks this is regarded ea- lantial to success. Preparing for Spring in tlie Garden. Wherever a crop is taken off, it will a wreat gain to manure and plow or spade the land, leaving it rough during the winter. AU such work as making paths, laying dr .iiis, etc is more advantageously done HI) V than when the press of spring work is at Hand. If new frames are needed, or straw mats, or crates for marketing produce, or garden labels are required if implements are to be made, repaired or bought â€" what- ever can be done in the present months â€" will save much valuable time in spring. Now, and all through the winter, add everything u the n anure pile that will decompose and increase its bulk and value. Among the pre parationa for f^pring is the pricking out into cold frames, the cabbage, cauliflower, in.i lettuce plants frem seeds. It is import- ant to set the plants of cabbage and cauli- flower down 10 the first leaf, so that the stem, the portion most readdy injured by fret zing, may be covered. The sashes »hou d not be put ever the plants until there IS danger of severe freezing weather. Other frames should be made ready for very early lettuce. The soil is to be spaded and tii- riched and made ready for planting, and the frames then filled up with leaves. If there are shutters at hand to cover them, all the better. Earth is often wanted for hot beds, 8»eds-boxe8, etc at a tine when the ground is still frozen. Lay in a good supply of fine, rich soil, under a shed, or where it can be kad when needed. Potato and Top Onions. Many of oor friends appear to confound hese quite different varieties of the onion. Though varieties of the saaie plant, they are multiplied in a very different manner. Tk« â-¼arioty generally called, in this country, the " English Multiplier," prop^ates only by a subdivision of the bulb. If a large bulb of this rariety ia planted, it will produce a cltuter of a doaen or more of small bo^bi. If, next year, each of these bnlba be s4t «mt, it wUl (^ow and make a large onion, fit Im aEe. So the alternation ia kept up. mall bulba are planted to produce large one, and large bulbs to grow small oaea. The cultivation of this variety, while ofte» carried on in private garden^, is found ia the vicinity of Richmond, Va., tt,be profit able on a commercial scale, and thi8_ is the variety chiefly growa^ in that liocality for. North em markete. The ' ' Jtop Onion ^i v«y different Tarieiy. In this tiie MW«r stem, ioatead ot rodaciDg a cliuter or-flow- era, followed by seeds vessels, Bf»ts A olus; ter of small bulbs, each hftif aKlubh «r less in diameta-. Whed these bolbi areplsnted oat, each grows and makes a fine, large onion. If this, onion is kept lifough the winter and planted the next spring, it will throw up a stem crowned by a cluster of small bulbs, each of which, the next year, will produce a large onion, and in this man- ner the alteration will be kept up. Cow's Milk for Colts. ' A pleasant note from the Secretary of the Ayrshire Breeders' Associatitia, says that Col. J. E. Russell tried to supplement the milk of the dam of certain of his colts with that of Jersey cows, but found' that it did not agree with them generallfifl He found they thrived splendidly upon Ayrshire milk. One of the colts so reared by him is the famous Parole, whose astji]iihing per- formances do credit to both tWS theory and practice. New corn is worth more tqfeed to cows than for any other stock. They will eat cob as well as grain, which is not the case with other stock. Ears of soft coin are fed with very little waste, as there is much more nu- triment in green cobs than in those that have become hard and woody. A day's work knocking to pieces the clods of cattle excrement on old' pastures will make a great improvement for next season. If the sod is thin, harrowing it so as to still further fine the manure will cause the grass to thicken wonderfully, and will make the sod much heavier when the tfeld comes un- der the plow. A Missouri farmer recoAmends stacking fresh fodder corn with wheat or oat straw m alternate layers of a foot of the latter to three inches of the former. He says there is no danger of spoiling, as the juices of the com are absorbed by the straw, and the lat- ter is rendered so palatable that cattle eat it greedily without waste. English farmers are finding an objection to deep plowing that it increases the growth of weeds. In this countiy deep plowing has the opposite effect, turning weed seeds un- der where many of them wul not soon come to the surface. Another reason is that in most places deep plowing in injurious, turn- ing up a soil in which neither weeds nor anything else will grow well. As a general rule, that which will make crops grow will increase weeds also, abd these are only to be got rid of by thorough tillage. iBeavy man- uring, even when no weed -seeds are carried out in the manure, will imAk^, a greatly in- creased growth of weeds. Coal in tlie 'orth-Wcst, A report will shortly bp issued by Mr. George M. Dawson, the ^ssistan-Director of the Geological Survey, on the coal fields of the North West. Some of the advance frheets have already appeared, and these go to show that the report will demonstrate very clearly that the North- West possesses abundance of coal of excellent quality, and therefire that the fuel problem is practically solved. According to Mr. Dawson's report, it would appear that the coal' 4rfi"Wg»iitea of the North- West are of the tertiary- age, and not like those of the Estst^of tije carboni- ferous system. The district which has been most explored, and with 'the niost satibfac- tory results, is that in the proximity of the Bow and Uelly Rivers, extending eastward from the base of the Rocky Mountains to the lllth meridian. Mr. Dawson says that the fuels in this distrijt vary from lignites, but slightly superior in quaUty to those of the Souris region, to coals coptaiuing a very small percentage of water, forming a strong coke on heating, yielding abundance of highly luminous hydro-c*rbonB, and pre- cisely resembling highly bituntiinous coal, though of the cretacioua age. Estimates have been made of the quantity of coal underlying a square mile of territory in several localities. These estimates go to show that the quantities vary from 5,000,000 to 9,000,000 tons. These are enormous figures, and they should dissipate all nerv- ous apprehension of a "coal famine" in Canada for many years to come. Mr. Daw- son states that the coal-bearing rocks devel- oped so extensively on the Bjw and Belly rivers, and their tributaries, are known to extend far to the north and west, though up to the present time it has been impossible to examine them at more than a few points.. On the North Saskatchewan several seams of lignite coal, resembling that ot the Souris River region, outcrop at Edmonton. The most important is about six feet in thick- ness, and has been worked to some extent for local purposes. Thirty miles above Ed- monton a much more important coal seam occurs. It has a thickness of eighteen to twenty feet. It is of excellent quality, and much resembles the "Cial-Banfes" coal frotn the Bow River. In other parts of the territory there are indications of large de- posits, and thus the prospect ot opening out the Canadian Forth- West is of the most en- couraging nature. Canada may be con- gratulated upon its immeuse treasures, and itj brilliant prospects.â€" TAe Scotsman. AN AWFUL CBIMEI 9f as In«ll»hiiian in Neiw HMnpafcIreâ€" Be slays his ensertalaersâ€" a. w^ m»a'H leap forllfe-WIiat t||i^ trunk contained. Thoftr'jBalmon, an Eoglisliman, â- 8»d 3^ leifc^liouse at Laconia, N. H., reo^ntlj, iSieliog a trunk, which teloo»*« house of an acquaintance, Ja» B.na«f' â„¢, stopped 'tb«» for the nigh^ takilpg hto t»n3r up stairs. Shortly ' after 4 m the nibrning the neighbors were awakened by a woman's /screams proceeding^ from Mr. Ruddy's house. They found Mrs. Ruddy lyinn en the ground under the front window through ..which she had made, a desperate leap. She was bleeding profusely and was unable to rise. On entering the house flames burst out from the doors and ^n-. dows, but were soon extinguished. The cfficers foiind lying upon the kitchen noor the bodies of Ruddy and his infant child, both cut in a horrible manner and both covered with the contents of a feather bed which had been saturated with keroeeae and set on fire. Both bodies were disfigured by the flames past recognition. In the bed- room was found the trunk mentioned and the lifeless body of Mrs. Ford, which was IDEiTTIFiaD BY HER HIT.'kBAND. One of her limbs had been chopped off. The detached member and the remainintt leg were bound to the woman's body with a clothes line. The bed clothes had been saturated with oil, piled on the body and an attempt made to set them on fire, which failed. Mrs. Ruddy on being questioned said the crime was committed by Salmon with a hatchet. Salmon was arrested on the road between Laconia and Plymouth. He denies all knowledge of the affair. The populace threaten to lynch him. Salmon is a cook by trade. He has a wife but does not live with her. It is alleged that he caused a separa- tion between Ford and his wife and that he was a frequent visitor to Ruddy's house. When he reached the latter place with the trunk he called out Mrs. Ruddy and the two CONVERSED FOR FIFTEEN MINWTES, after which they went into the house. On Saturday mominp Salmon took down a clothes line in the back yard of Ford's house, and it was noticed that his hands trembled violently. Mrs. Ford was between forty and fifty years of age, and was last seen in company with Salmon on Friday morning, going in the direction of the village. Ford says his wife had bsen in Salmon's company two or three nights. Salmon has a hair lip and is a repulsive looking person. There were several blood spots on his clothing. The comor's jury found him guilty. Wanted a Will. A colored man about 60 years of age, blind in one eye and walking with a cane, hobbled up stairs into the office of a Gris- wold street lawyer yesterday and announc- ed that he desired to make-his will. "Got much property to leave " asked the lawyer "Well, sah, Ize persessed of a dog, a cook-stove, a wheelbarrow, m' two flat- irons dat my fust wife left me," "And who are you going to leave them to?" "My darter, Nancy, ob^r on Indiana street. Ize mar'ied agin, you know, an' I wants to put dat property whar' my present wife caa't get it. She doan' git nuffia' be- longin' to me if I can help it." "It will cost you §5 to have a will drawn." "Shoo Can't coat dat 1" "Yes, it will," " Den I reckon I'll administrate on my stuff afore I die. Would dat work " " C.rtainly." " Den I'll inn de dog off, lend de wheel- barrow, pocket de flat irons, an' stan' by to rush de cook-stove outer de house de fust time de ole wom^n goes to de grocery. Kin I git a warrant heah " "What for?" " Fur assault an' battery. When d« ole woman finds what Ize done she'll ^vfik all ober me, an' I might as well Bve toBs by getting out de warrant no^." .,' ' He was directed to the proper pla^ and he went a4ray saying that it would j)ethap8 be still better to have h|er artiested and sent up for ninety days in advance.â€" Zeroi Ft-ee Press. Stealing a Chnrcli. A writer in the AtlatUic Monthly Mr. Edward Everett Hele, we believe, once con- tributed a piece of fiction entitled '"Stealing a Meeting House." Down in Ohio this is truth. An old Methodist chnrch has stood on the land of J. C. Smith for many years. Recently Smith sold his real estate to Wells, the church not bting included in the sale. He then disposed of the church to Israel Smith and the latter moved the struc- ture one dark nicfht when Wells ^as away from home to his pfit^ panih across the street. Wei Is was furious, claimed that the church was his property, and brought suit against Smith, charging him with theft. The case was decided, and Smith was com- pelled to pay a fine ot $100 and costs, besdes paying Wells for the church. Four Little Ones. "Oh, ma!" exclaimed a little Austin girl, glancing at the steam-gage on a stationary engine, "it's 60 o'clock. I didn't know it ever got so late as that." "How many parts of speech are there, Johnny?" "Well, in our house there ain't none, 'cause when mammy gets her speech started it never parts it just reaches from sun to sun 'thont even a crack in it."
