WORK ON THE FARM.

HINTS FOR THE MOJfTH OF MARCH.

From the American Agriculturist for this month we cull the following in regard to March work:

Spring begins the 20th of March, at 0:20 p. m. but spring work began some time since in the South and Southwest. In the North winter yet lingers, but the time for the tirst spring work has come.

Lay plans for the Yeark without delay. Tbo forehanded man works to great advantage. He loses no time everything is done at the proper moment.

The change of weather often exposes men working in the open air to great risks. To keep the feet dry is very necessary. A well-drained barnyard is one preventive of wet feet, and wearing rubber boots wherever water or mud is to be encountered, is another. The latter will servo in all cases

Horses' Feet should be well carod for in the slush condition of the roads. When brought in from work, horses should be well rubbed down with a piece of blanket, and the feet and legs thoroughly dried. The friction will removo the chilling effect of the cold slush but if tbis is left upon the feet, the skin may become diseased, and cracked heels or foot fever result from the carelessness.

Want of care during the winter leaves a cow very poor and in the spring. Any animal that is out of condition should be well cared for now. A mess of warmbran slop, with one ouuoe of ginger stirred in, will be very useful. It is not safe to over feed, especially wit.h stimulating food.

Calves—A calf that is infested with vermin, may be known by its rough coat covered with ticks. The' youne animals should he freed Irom these pests at once. A mixture of lard and sulphur rubbed along the spine and on the brisket will be etTectivejand a dose of a tablespoonful of sulphur and molasses, once a day for a week, will help greatly to drive awav lice and prevent disease. "Black-leg" in Calves is frequent just now. It mainly affects the best kept animals. To prevent it, give the sulphur and molasses, and feed no meal. To reduce the condition gradually is an effective proventivo Medicines come too late in thta disease, which is almost surely fatal at this season.

A lew one-ounce doses of a mixture of equal parts of sulphur and cream of tartar will relieve the irritation of the skirf common in the earlj' spring, and the loss of much wool by rubbing. Ewes should have dry and clean pens and yards. Abundant litter is no remedy for a wet floor a dry board is better than afoot of damp straw for a bed.

Early hmb may be pushed forward by giving them a little fresh cows milk. Tney will soon learn to driuk this from a pan. The milk should be given warm iroma iresh Cow, a quarter of a pint to a meal. Do not over feed aay young animal that retards, instead of assisting growth.

Separate breeding sows, from other pigs, and provide them with a warm dry pen, bedded with leaves or cut straw, and furnished with a rail fastened 8 inches from the floor and from the wall to prevent the young pigs from being crushed. It is well to give the sow half a pint of raw linseed-oil a few days befor farrowing, and immediately after tbis may prevent her from destroying the pigs.

The first work is to replace fences laid by the winter storms. There is nothing gained by plowing to early. The soil should be dry before a furrow is turned. Manure may"be drawn out stones can bo gathered from frozen ground when the warmth of the sun has loosened them.

Unless great cleauliness Js observed, the poultry-houses will become offensive and unwholesome in tho damp and warmer weather. Clean often, and sprinkle with plaster and coal ashes, or dig up theearthern floor and freshen it. If lice or fleas abound, apply grease or kerosene oil to the perches it will spread from these to the fowls. Trovide warm, sheltered nesting places for the early setting hens, and a glass covered coop for the chicks. Feed young chicks little, but often.

Every implement needs overhauling, and many will require repairing. This is the last opportunity of getting things "to rights" before they will be needed. Sharpen and polish up the tools, clean

DORS IT PAY*

Does it pay for farmers, or others in the vicinity of Terre Haute, to purchase fruit or ornamental trees of tree peddlers, or pretended agents for some nursery at a distance of so many miles that their doings may be uukuown to the proprietor oi the nursery thgy claim to represent, and the purchaser at the mercy of the cunning and avarice of the Irresponsible dealer Does it pay to give these peddlers 100 per cent more for their trees than the same or better ones would cost at our home nurseries There are so many tricks, impositions, and deceptions practiced by the irresponsible dealer that is a question whether it would to take their stock at even one-fourth the price it would cost at our home nurseries and yet people subscribe and pay on an average two prices. Why is this? They are led to tbink at the time that tbey are procuring something better tban can tee obtained near home. This is a mistake. If any peddler pretends to have any kind of fruit better for this locality than cau be furnished by our home nurserymen, it either is not better for this locality or he does not not know it to be better. Therefore, when be says it better, he either lies or does not care what he says. There may be, and doubtless are, good varieties it nit for this locality not yet proven tube such. As soon as any kiud of fruit is known to be desirable for this locality it will be kept in the nurseries here at any eo.it. There are three nurseries within live fhilea of tbd city, alt selling at low prices and they have stock sufficient to supply tifty counties like Vigo with an abundance of fruit ornamental trees, and would furnish a better selection for tbis locality than vou would be likely to obtain if you ordered trees from elsewhere. Under these circumstances will it pay to subscribe to irresponsible parties for trees, shrubs, or vines? There are four nurseries nearly in a straight line east of southeast of the city, some near and some not so near. If you desire nursery stock, start out in tbat direction, and you will be astonished at the thousands of trees ready to be transplanted into orchards. As some may wish to know who vouches for all this, I will just say, "for particulars call at my office." J. F. SOULK.

HOME TOPICS.

By Faith Rochester In the American Agrl culturlst.

LET THE CHILDREN LEARN TO CHEW. Tobacco? Oh no, nor gum either, but bread and beef, and other wholesome food. In some families mastication almost seems oie of the "lost arts-" Parents and children and hired helpers sit down to the table, and there is a clatter of dishes and a noise of smacking and sipping, and all seem intent upou swallowing their food in the shortest possible time. Nearly every mouthful is washed down with some warm drink before it is ball masticated. Those who eat in tbis manner, often find that almost everything disagree with them which can not be soaked in the mouth or stomach with tea or ooffee. I have often wondered why some persons can not eat raw ripe fruit without indigestion, when it has always been most wholesome for my Own young children. But I have always taught them how to eat such things, carefully scraping out the gott pulp lor the babies, an«i often cautioning them as they grew older to "chew it tine before swallowing." Unless skins of fruit are finely masticated, they ought never to be eaten at all but persons who are not in the habit of chewing can not stop for that, and so they And tbat raw apples do uot agree with them. Is not tbis the chief reason for the difficulty? No food should go into the stomach "in chunks," but light porous bread aud cake, or food easily soaked into particles can be managed somehow by the stomach, when neglected by the teeth, though greatly to the detriment of digestion, as this neglect of mastication throws an unnecessary and improper amount of labor upon the stomach, and is apt to bring about some trouble with the digestive organs. Perhaps the chief difficulty which the stomach has in digesting -food of this kind, arises from the lack of saliva mixed with the food, which takes place in thorough cbewing. The saliva has constituents which produce important chemical changes upon starch, whether eaten in bread, potatoes, or other starchy food. One can discover this by chewing raw wheat for a few minutes it will change from a sticky, starchy taste to a sweetness caused by the conversion of starch into sugar.

It is a pity for children to grow up without the habit of properly chewing their food not only because it is injurious to health, but because they lose the best and finest pleasure of the sense of taste. Accustomed to "bolt" their food, nothing tastes good to them which is not highly flavored or spiced. Everything must be peppered or sugared un less already highly seasoned, in order to make some impression upon the nerves of taste, located in the mouth, as the food hurries through. While to persons accustomed to chew their food deliberately, the plainest forms of well cooked, wholesome food afford great pleasure to the palate. Children should be encouraged to eat without drinking, in order that they may be fed to moisten their food with saiivia, thus preparing it for good digestion.

DRINKING AT MEALS.

The habit of washing down the food interferes with the habit of thorough chewing. It also deluges the stomach with an unnecessary amount of fluid, at least in most cases, since those who dtink at all while eating usually indulge the habit immoderately. The animal system requires water.in order to carty on its various functions. This must be supplied by drinks, or by eating juicy or semi-fluid food. Bat only a moderate quantity of liquid should be takeu with the food, and for those with good teeth, no drinking at all is necessary. The stomach can not work upon the mass introduced into it at one meal, until it has disposed of enough of it fluid contents to leave it in a sufficiently dense condition for kneading and churning, and stirring about by the strong muscles of tbat organ. Too much fluid improperly dilutes the gastric juice which thestomae.h mixes with the fo^d in order to help its thorough digestion. If the fluid mixed with the food as it is swallowed te very cold, it farther re tards digestion by "lowering the temperature of the contents of the stomach bolow the working point, so that digestion can not go forward untfl the boav has iper the food in the stomach. With warm meals, a moderate amount of cold water (not ice water) may produee no noticeable result, but the hearty cold water drinks had better be taken when the stomach Is empty. Peured into a full stomach they often produce great discomfort, and sometimes result in serious disease. Drinks with naeals, especially for persons with defective teeth, had better be warm than very cold. Still, I tbink tbat If you teach your growink family to eat their food deliberately with no'tumbler or other drinking vessel at all placed habitually he side their plates, so tbat they naturally learn to moisten the food well with nature's own preparation for that purpose the saliva, which pours from the glands about the mouth with every motion of chewing—the children will grow up healthier in all respects for the good habit of deliberate and thorough chewing, and of drinking at proper times.

THE INSIDE FINISHING OF HOUSES. I have just been turning again the pages of "Homes, »ud How to Make Them." I like the author's ideas in re-

Jshings',simplicity

fard to of design, in the flaor lack of straining for effect in ornamenting houses. As the most perfect style of dress is tbat which attracts the least attention, so the finishiagsof rooms should not challenge notice and detract from their furnishings. Let there be as few dust traps as possible. These are found in enormous Grecian window and door cornices, supported by hnge carved consoles, in needless crooks and quirks, and unintelligible mouldings. The author, a practical architect, declares tbat most of what is usually considered ornamental in such cases, is wholly inoongrnous with lath and plaster and floors of cheap boards. "Any great outlay of labor or material on the casings of doors and windows, or the bases, when there is no other woodwork in the room, is surely out of place," He

FLOORS AND CARPETS.

There is a strong protest offered," in different ways and from various'sources, against our long established practice of making poor floors, with the design of keeping them covered with oarpets stretched and fittod to every part, and carefully tacked down. Carpets in daily use cannot be kept clean except by very frequent shaking and beating, and they do mach toward corrupting the air by retaining impure gases, kiding the finest, most penetrating dust in their moshes aud underneath them, and by giving off particles of fine wool into the atmosphere, with other dust, as they are swept or walked upon. There is a demand for better floors,.not necessarily inlaid or mosaics, of different kinds of precious wood, that will not shrink or warp (spruce, however well seasoned, is almost sure to warp), and then carefully finished 6o as to be durable and easily cleaned. Carpeted floors seem a relief to the housekeeper „when Once the carpets are procured

Oiled floors do not need hard scrubbing, like painted floors, but simply a good washing with warm (not hot) water, often changed as you go over it. Strong suds, of course, will gradually remove the oil wun which you have carefully filled the pores. Grease spots do not have the same effect as upon an unpainted or uuoiled floor, which must be kept free from grease in order to look well, for norv you have it greased all over whatever grease gets on it now, tbat cannot be scraped or wiped up. may be thoroughly rubbed in.

A PRETTY IIANQISG hASn! A very pretty hanging-basket can lie made of a peach cau by melt'iis* and removing tho top of Uie can, thea cutting the cau in strips one third of an inch wide, leaving one half ol an inr.b circle at the bottom. Tnen press it any shape you wish, leaving it larger at the top tban at the bottom. Clinch the ends at the top over a strong wire. Paint green, or any color you desire. When dry, line with wood moss, and fill with rich soil. Plant therein Spanish ivy, bridal wreaths, or any running vine. Hang it at the window by a wire or chain.

TO FRY APPLES.

Tfa'e following is a nice way to fry apples. Take nice, tart apples, slice the round way of apple, in rather thick slices, then roll tbem in flour and sugar mixed together have a pan ready with melted butter, lay your apples in, cover tight, fry to a nice brown: be careful and pot smash them up, and do not be stingy with your butter.

EGOS IN CASE OF TRO UBLE. Tbe white of» an egg is said to be a teciflc for fish bones sticking in tbe iroat. It is to be swallowed raw, and will oarrv down a bone easily and certainly. There is another fact touching eggs which it will be well to remember. When, as sometimes by accident, corrosive sublimate is swallowed, tbe white of one or two eggs taken will neutralise tbe poison and change tbe effect to tbat of a dose of calomel.

Attend flrat to the sise and position, and relative proportion of all the parts, and then see tbat such moulding* as may be neoded are simple aud graceful, and you cannot go far wrong. The author admits the practical utility of paint and varnish, though he protests against the kind of painting called "graiuing." He objeata to all tbis attempt at deception, which is so common, and would not h»ve us a«bamed of pine doors If those are what we can best afford, They are well enaugb, until they proclaim themselves, by false graining, to he oak. black walnut, or mahogany. He thinss this is a part of that spirit of ahow which per vades our whole social structure, obtruding itself luto every department of life. If we waut to see the natural grain of wood, it does not necessarily follow that wt must use hard wood. He speaks of black walnut as much over-estimated and praises the beauty of the grain of our common white pine—"rarely used without having its natural beauty extinguished by three ooats of paint." He also praises, for inside finishings, "the different kinds of ash, yellow pine, butternut, white wood, oberrv, cedar, even hemlook and spruce in some situations. Whatever wood we use unpainted, several important points must be observed. must be the beat of its kind, seasoned to its inmost fibre, carefully worked and finally filled, (with oil 1 suppose,) and rubbed until it wears a surface tbat is not liable to Boil, is easily oleaned. resists the action of moisture, and will grow rioher with age." He does sot object to staining the wood if you prefer a different shade. Tbis does not oonceal, but strengthens the natural shading, and it is honest, and sometimes an economical expedient. "The cost is less tban common painting, and the eflect as muob better than graining as nature's work is more perfect than ours."
