A DESIRABLE HOUSE.

The Enterprising Manner in Which It Was Secured.

Mr. and Mrs. Laurence Franklyn bad got tired of life in the country. .)f course, wild roe. strawberries ami cream, and the gong of blackbirds and linnet before dawn were Tory enchantingbut they had their balancing disagreeable. The gotbic roof leaked tinder its braided greenery of wisteria vines and honeysuckle; the kitchen stood an inch deep in water whenever there was a trifle heavier rain than usual, and the half-mile walk from the depot, however enchanting in flowery time, gate Mr. Franklyn a jumping neuralgia when traversed in a gr127.iV equinoctial. The butcher forgot to call just when his ware were needed most, the next-door neighbor charged a little more than city prices for hW milk, eggs ami butter, and the cook and chambermaid left at the end of the first month. So that life in the rural districts was not altogether without trials to Mrs.

Laurence Franklyn; and about the time saiti she, "and the pattern of the cor that New York houses break oat Into a nkm. And the pier glasses and thi

Early next morning Mr. Franklyn went to New York, flee followed in the next train, while Miss Lesiardi breathlessly awaited the crisis. "We shall have to live in two

houses, as sure m the world." sakl she to herself. " What id'ots these young peojile are!" Airs. Franklyn returned rather earlier than her sister bad expected her, with a bright, flushed face. Well?" s.Td Julia, breathle?sP. " I've agreed to pay two thousand a vear for it," said -Mrs. Franklyn. "Two thousands" echoed Miss Lesiardi. "I thought it was ouly eighteen hundred!" " Well, so it was, but there's another party, it seems, verv anxious to socure the house, and "Oh, nonsense!" exclaimed Julia. "That's only the professional landlady's ruse." " Oh, but it's tnte," persisted Bee, " tor I saw His hat on the sideboard, and I caught a glimpse of his legs walking about in the upper story to see if the paint was in good order on the second floor.

it 1 know mat many a moiuer wm say: "Oh, I haven't tune to play with my children. Only mother who have plenty of money and plenty of servants can do that." Before arguing this point, allow me to give a bit of advice as regards toys. Do not buy many, nor cheap, perishable things, which are uuickly disposed of and create a demand for something new from day to day. For a little girl, buy household utensils and dolls, for the mother instinct must be satisliod. Give hor a tiny broom and dut-pan, a flatiron and table, a sot of dishes, of course, as well as a miniature laundry set Now, having purchased some of those thinirs. for a Christmas or a birthday

gift, would it really take much time to show iust how to use them? Take ten

minutes out of vour day and teach her

how to lav a reul table: how to lay hor

little cloth straight, to sot mamma's

nlace with tho cuns. saucers, etc.. and

papa's with the meat dish before him.

Givo her some tmv napkins, of paper

if need be, and show her where to put

them! how to arrange the kmves, forks

and dishes. Give her sometimes some

"trulv food." and on anotherday show

her how to hold her littlo broom. Let her hunt for cobwebs (if you are very

busy) telling her that those are to be taken down first. Great will be her

delisht should the search be successful.

For your boy, if you live iu the coun

try, get first of all, garden tools; a diminutive wheelbarrow or a cart, as soon as be is large enough to use th'm. So many of his best lessons may be taught from nature's open book that no thoughtful father would neglect the teaching, or feol that he had "no time" to devote to it For a boy shut up in the city, ala?, there are fecr healthful resources, yet provide him with a box of tools and a place where ho m v use them, and give him an occasional order for a small box or shlf. Let him have a tiny grocery More, if you can afford it, and, after showing him how to print "no liquors" 'over the dour, stock it for him with rice, sugar, coll'ee, beans, etc. ; then teach him now to use the delicate scales, how to do up a

parcel noatly, and when you are busy with your sewing, dear mother, if he asks you the old question, which

every mother hears so oucn: -uiii shall I do now?" order something from the grocery, and, when it is denositod in vour lan. tell the dear little

portant business, and, unless you una him something to do. the individual whom Watts hings of in his "Divine

He might have said that it is only a few years since the manure was considered a nuisance In eonsequence of the

labor required to get it out of tne way.

It is well mat farmers oegin to iuiua.ua the Incidental compensations in cattle husbandry. Large )KrtioH8 of Illinois ceased to produce paying crop ot

wheat, and thw cereal had to be abandoned for some years, and 'more stock

was kept instead. This was the cause, in some localities, of introducing tlie

then new industry of dairying, and alter a few years those districts were again successful in tho. wheat erop. Cattle and grain farming must go together they area compensation for each other. This indirect income" from cattle is just what the grain farmers should mort carefully study. If they fully comprehend it, they would be much better reconciled to lower prices for cattle and dairy product. The English farmer thinks himeelt well compensated in feeding cattle U he can get the manure for his labor. II his cattle fully pay for all they consume, he knows that the increase 'of hie crops will figure up a satisfactory profit. The English feeder's' cost of food is much higher than the American feeder's. Tno former feeds largely of the rich oil-cakos imported from this country, which in turn greatly enrich the manure; but the American feeder fattens mostly upon corn, which being composed so largely of starch and oth

er carbo-hydrates tnatprouuee iai, uoee not enrich the manure so much. The manure from a ton of corn has only about one-half the value of the manure from a ton of the host clover hay, and a little more than one-fourth of that from a ton of linseed meal, or colton-seed meal. Prof. Sanborn has found wheat bran to be more valuable for growing young cattle and pigs than corn meal, and this is what might be expected from its composition, as it has much more material for tho growth of muscle and bone; and the manure from a ton of bran is worth double that from a ton of corn. If the manure is all saved, it is worth the whole cost of the bran, and, bran is a cheap fertilizer if applied directly to the crop.

Hut. of course, it is still more promahlc to feed and then apply tho manure; for the bran will fully pay its cost in

the growth of animals, and the manure

may then be naa iree. it may saieij be said that the manure from growing or fattening cattle is worth one-half aa

much as the gMWtn or gain on me cattle. And if the manure is fully saved from an animal during its whole life, it

is worth, at least, ouo-nait as mucn as the animal at market age. And if thk is a safe calculation, as we believo, it is certainly an item well worth considering in the profits of cattle farming.

This item win raise tne present iow price to a very satisfactory basis. The first great reform in cattle feeding is to devise means of more perfectly saving

the liquid and solid droppings, ana, m the stable, this can only be done by using a water-tight manure gutter, and then applying both liquid and solid droppings together, fresh to the soil. National Live Stock Journal.
