For Those Who Build. Too many country houses are built without apparent regard for the convenience or comfort of their future inmates. Few have any provision tor warming the upper room -, unless possibly the “front room” may have a stove in which to light a lire when there are guests to spend the night. Instead of such insufficient accommodation, the chambers might be comfortably warmed by means o" regis- > ters through the floors, with simply i the surplus heat from the lower rooms. It may be healthy to sleep in a cold room, but it is not very pleasant to make a toilet in a room where the thermometer hovers arc md j zero. These registers may be put in after the, house is built by any one' handy with tools; each eight inches ! by ten, costing about a dollar and a half. There should be a clothes closet opening out of each sleeping oom, besides an ext a large one in which to keep bedding o, cloth ng out of I season. I find there are many houses, ! too, that are built with rooms of in-i convenient size for carpet ng. Where at all possible, rooms sh uld be an even number of yards lit,or measure one way, so that it will not be necessary to turn under part of a breadth of carpet or leave a bare space. Why cannot the count y house have a bath room? Surely no one needs such a j room more than the farmer and his ' family, yet the convenience to bath- i ing aie conspicious by their absence ; in nearly eve y country house. Fit j up some sma 1 room with a bath tub 1 of metal, either tin, zinc or galvan- I ized iron, connected with the cistern ' bv a force pump, the water to be I warmed wit:; a small single or double burner kerosene stove, and the bath water to be emptied through the kitchen drain. Purely some means could be provided without great expense whereby that great luxury, a waim all-over bath, might be enjoyed in the country where t ere are no hot water pipes or modern bath room with their conveniences. — American Agriculturist. Inoculated Cinch Bugs. The chinch bug has Icon regarded as an extremely ditticult enemy to get rid of. But when Fros. Snow of { Kansas, discovered ways to inoculate . these insects with disease, this enemy | is made comparatively harmless. The ! remedy, which is itself a disease, was I tested by some Nebraska farmers on wheat last fall, in which the chinch' bug was making serious ravages. In the spring there were few or no bugs, some corn leaves and a goodly number , of lively chinch bugs feeding upon 1 them. In two or three days the dis-' ease affects the living bugs, which are then taken out and spread through the fields it is desired to clear. The Nebraska Farmer retorts that in this way the disease spreads ! very rapidly, a diseased bug moving around among its kind. In one trial only the dead bugs were placed among the living, yet the disease became epidemic and cleared off a quarter of a mile of bugs within a week. The ciiinch bug evil is, therefore, no longer feared, for even after a corn field has ' been attacked it is poss ble to save the crop by prompt action. Prof. Burnes of the Nebraska experiment station will supply diseased chinch bugs to ail who may have occasion for them. Better to Pasture New Ground. From experience I have learned that the nest way to do with new cleared land is to immediately sow to grass and pasture it until the stumps are mostly rotted out. New land will grow an abundance of excellent pasture, and the stumps will not sprout so much as when farmed. By sprouting once in August for a year , or two most of the stumps will be dead, whereas, if you farm it, the, first crops will not more than pay for , wear and tear of man, beast, harness | and implements, not counting the ' number of times a good many men call on their Creator while doingsuch | work, and then in a few years you have a thin piece of land and not r expense and you get it without labor, and then when the stumps are out you have a rich spot to farm with some satisfaction. Do you see?— National Stockman. Best Results from Silage. No one thinks of feeding cows exclusively on corn silage. They need sofne dry feed with it, and this it I will pay to buy if the farm itself does not afford them. As an instance of I this, Mr. C. R. Beach of Whitewater, Wis., grew 41 acres of corn silage last year. To make the best use of this he fed SBO worth of hay and $l2O worth of wheat bran to his herd of cows. After paying back the money value of the hay and the bran the cows afforded a net profit of SIOO for each acre of corn put into the silo. Corn is not alone a well-balanced ration for any animal, and the feeder who docs not understand how to balance it and get the best results has neglected the most important . part of his business. Hints for the Autumn Work. The value of much of the. work done in the garden and orchard depends on its seasonable performance,

i and we offer a few memorandas for 1 the benefit of those who are apt to overlook useful or important jobs in season: sPeach stocks which continue ‘ to grow freeiy may be budded as long as the bark peels freely for the insertion of buds. New strawberry beds must be kept entirely free from ’ weeds, and manure finely and evenly 1 scattered between the plants and rows unless ground is already ri h enough. Keep the runners continually cut. Prune out all useless shoots in young fruit trees, the growth of which now i ci ng completed no injurious check will be given the trees. Orchards which need more fertility may be now, and on till winter, treated with an even top dressing of . well broken manure. Young trees ' may lienow transplanted if they have j ceased growing. See that, they are < provided with ample roots on each 1 I side, and are so firmly set as not to । j need the imperfect support of staking • against winter winds. This will be 1 assisted by properly heading them J back. Before the advent of winter x and snow do not omit the conical , । mounds of earth around the stems, { । where mi e are feared. Watch for i । the work of destructive insects.— ' l Country Gentleman. ’ Marketing Green Tomatoes. Every year just when frost comes I to stop further fruitage of tomatoes j there is an active demand among i housekeepers for green tomatoes to Ibe used for pickles. The price is often better late in the season for 1 tiiis green fruit, which is then scarce, 1 than for the ripe tomatoes during the time when the market is glutted. ’ Why do not tomato growers take a i hint from I his fact, and market a < part of their crop green while they : j । can pick it without the bother of , I 1 sorting out frosted or rotted fruit? I I If dealers offered the green tomatoes with the explanation that they are ' ' cheaper than they can be sold later, I j a good many could be disposed of and !' । the glut of ripened fruit be lessened. Selecting Breeding Sows. , Before the pigs farrowed in spring ! are put up to fatten, those that are needed for breeding should be sepa- । rated from the others. Select those ; , with long, stra ghl bodies and well- : i developed hams and shoulders. Such ■ I sow pigs will make good milkers if not pampered by grain feeding. Milk i and wheat middlings, with all they ' j can eat of green food, will keep them ! thrifty without fattening them. Farm Notes. Begin spraying early and spray fro quently, for there are many enemies I to the orchard. Turnip and radish fleas can fre. ! quently be held in subjection by dusting them with wood ashes. Cabbage and tomato plant can ' I sometimes be protected from the cut j worm by wrapping a stiff paper I i around the stems before planting. | Jlltuviivu x', * . ।so dry that its leave fall off badly. | I From March until Christmas is the . I very longest lease of life that should , be expected of any hog that expects to get into the pork barrel. To expect more than this shows an ill-bred : animal. Pios farrowed in May can be made into February pork pretty easily, and with about the least cost Clover, new oats, pumpkins and sweet corn will contribute to this end, with hard corn after November Ist for fattening. Store up several loads of sharp gravel for winter use. It is rather s early to talk about preparing for winter, but I find when such things are left until the last moment they are apt to be forgotten until work is in such a shape that it becomes more ot a task. The same mav be said of gathering and storing road dust for I baths fur the chickens in winter. No fruit loses flavor from being carelessly handled more quickly than apples. Apples which have been well stored retain their flavor throughout the winter, but those which have been allowed to lie about with decay- . ing specimens, or are stored loosely , in barrels, either lose their flavor or I acquire a rank taste from the condii tions around them. . On a farm where four or live horses i I are kept, one of these two-wheeled ! road carts costing from sls to $25, is a good thing, and especially in muddy ! weather. It saves the horses’ strength, it saves the wear of more expensive wagons, and it saves the ; time that woulu be used in washing g : wawfis.T. They.pa.n he. hnnytyb and they are very easy to ride upon. The coat of producing any sort of farm stock can be best reduced by reducing the time in which it is ; grown. To accomplish this you need : stock which has a marked tendency toward early maturity, and then you must do all that you can to intensify this tendency by good feeding. The two together can easily reduce the , time of “making” either beef or po k at least one-half from the old standards. Jefferson and the Plow. Thomas Jefferson invented the i modern plow. There were plows, of i course, thousands of years I efore the । ■ time of the sage of Monticello, but he I ’ first laid down the mathematical ■ । principles that unde lie the construe- I i tion of the plow, and so enabled any i blacksmith to make one. A plow I consists of two wedges, a cutting and ' a lifting wedge, and Jefferson d scovered and enunc ateu the proportions of each and the relation each bore to the other. Before his day no two smiths made plows alike, now they are all made in accordance with a mathematical formula. —St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. SERIOUS SUBJECTS CAREFULLY CONSIDERED. A Scholarly Exposition of Hie Lesson— Thoughts Worthy of Calm Reflection— Half an Hour’s Study of the Scriptures— Timo Well Spent. Abstinence for the Sako of Others. INTRODUCTORY. Surely a temperance 1 sson, distinctively such, is n>t amiss tc-day. But it is encouraging to the advocates of ten pjrance to believe that teachers do not wait for these specifically temperance portions ore they inculcate iho true precepts of tenq o; ance. All truth is one, and, the Scripture being everywhere consistent with itself, as vve teach one virtue of the Christ life we teach all, and so evt ry lesson is in this sense a temperance lesson. It is well, however, for the honor of the cause to set aide an oeca 4 nal day for particular indoetrina’i nin teototalism. And where do wo find a stronger statement of the doctrine and practice than this from the Ups t f Daul: “If meat make my brother to often 1,1 will cut no fie >h while the world Mandoth, e t I make my brother to offend.’ POINTS IN THE LESSON. Knowledge vs. love. Sols-opinion vs. consideration. Knowledge is goo 1. But says Paul, “Yot show 1 unto you u ni .ro excelfont wuy”—chnrity. ” -Knowled; o." we ray. “is power." Yos but it may be power t > hurt. Love, too, is power, but always it is power to help. “lie knowoth nothingyottn he ought to know.” Who? Why. the man who to ins t > know scmetliing. So, the i. head knowledge am unts to little with Ged un’ess heui t knowledge, which includes love, goes with it. How this 1 t< some of our great minds down. It is a somewhat dark expres io i in this co nnection: "If any man love God the same is known < f him.” But let Scripture iliumin? Seriptme. i’ut alongside of til's li in. 5: 5: “And h- po maketh m t ashamed: 1 eeauso the love of God is she i abroad in on • hearts b; the Holy Ghott which i; given unto us.” The Holy Ghcst as a proof of son ship. The man who tru y loves God has given t > him in all his acta n • the tokens < f the highe •, diviner life. "An id 1 is nothing.” What I’aul says in effect is this: “We know that I there is no such thing in this w< rid as 'an idol Go!, an imago God!" St mo < people had, as they do now. act d and ! discoursed, as if there might 1 e s :eh 1 a thing as a ] otty national G <l. a L< u- : then G< d. But “No," says i’aul, in emphatic ■ pcech; “there is m> God except the < im*." But now l>c careful as to this knowledge. Mix love with it. To know that there is inly one Gul. and that idols are sticks and Hones. We are free as regards them. -Yet let n A this liberty of ours, this juth nal independence, bind ror stumble some weaker brother. Our own intel igent eouse enee. which is the knowledge fp>ken <f here, must buaden itself, or, , shall we say. humble its' If t > take into I <• >nsidcrat !• n the eonsei-ne ’ of those | on the b irder line between licfitueni in ! and (’hristianity: mil this i the love I i .. . ~ |ne must bring him along.

BIG BLAZE INGOTHAM PROPERTY WORTH MILLIONS GOES UP IN SMOKE. Flames Destroy the Campbell Wall-P.»pel-Factory and Other Bi K Buildings, with Several Blocks of Tenements—Four Lives Probably Lost. Over 53.000.000 Loss. One of the most destructive fireNew York has teen since the great tire of 1858 occurred Wednesday night when property worth millions if dollars was licked, up by flames that were fanned by a stiff breeze. The tire I started in the wall paper fact-ry of William Campbell & Co., 512 to 518 West 42d street, and 505 to 513 West 41st street, destroyed this as w’ell as Nevins & Haviland's wall paper factory, several other large buildings, and several blocks of tenement houses. The burned area extends from St. Raphael’s Church on Fortieth street west of Tenth avenue to the north side of Forty-second t treet.

The glare of the conflagration illuminated the whole city. Factories, tenement houses and private dwellings were burned to the ground, and the efforts of the firemen worodliovU'di iuly t > pvovoet. tbo ol W™ over a still larger territory. Four men are missing, and it is thought they were burned to death. The fire originated in the engine room of Campbell & Co., manufacturers of fine wall paper. Within half an hour after the lire started it had licked up all the houses

between the two large factories and the Nevins & Haviland building wa.ablazo. It burned like tinder and there was no hope of saving it from the very first. The wildest excitement prevailed among the tenants in many tenements near by during the progress of the i fire. They ran from their homes I loaded down with such effects as they : could carry away, but the homes which | were burned wore consumed so quickly I that they could save but little, though they hail ample time to save their own lives. A number of children and old women were taken out bodily from one of the houses on the north side of Forty-second street when it was bolioved that block would go down. The ‘ firemen had marvelous escapes on sev- > oral occasions from falling walls, but so I far as known no one was hurt.
