WHEN TO DRAIN. With the fanners thi,,s as a rule IS not so Much a, question es, Wean, cae, I do the work? And while there • seenee no altereetive, yet in the More Madero methods a (loin a lerge share of this work the &bole tepee demands some eon - sideration. Bore eeve eoneludea this subject of the ariffereat metboas of ex- pect and hope to treat in one article tee usbhect of the different methods of ex - °cleating for drainage. I mention itin this connection because it has SOnle bearing on the subjeet now under con- siaeratioon There is a, right and a 'wrong time to drain, says a writer, but for- tonately the rigb.t time is when the farmer is likely to have more spare time than at any other season, If the work is to be done entirely by hand tee exeavaiting Ls most easily anti. cheap- ly dooms in the early spring, just as soon after the froet is out of the ground as possible. Certainly the average man ean do twice • as much work in e day excavating for tile in April as ee can ion two days after the first or July in our ordinary seeesons. It frequently happens that the work can be begen in early Meech ertal pushed for two full montbs without cessation. If the work to heundertaken is that a carrying oft sPring run each as 'that outlined in the prettediag article, a may be done in midsummer perhaps better than in the early spring, because there will likely be less water to interfere with the work at that time than in the earl - ler part of the season. In short, the beat Lime to put in a drain of this nkid is duri.o.g any dry season. This is also true when a. bog or cat swail Or other spots carrying stagnant wa- ter are to be drained. If, however, the Land to be drained is slice that it can be excavated by steam or horse power, the best time to do it is immediately after harvest, just as soon after the rope are taken off as possible. 'For as a general guide it is safe to say that xcavations tmade by machinery ere ore easily- made ino dry than in we sails, because they are less liable to log and. the. dirt to be handled. is usu- lly freer from moistu.re at that sea - of the peer than at any other. It is sometimes possible to do considerable work of this kind during an open win- ter awl when it can be done without hiring extra. help it is quite a gain, for 31 there are idle hands about and the ground is not frozen they are zauch tter employed in, suc.h work than sit- ting around watching the housewife and. being in the way generally. With a good. pair of rubber boots and a de- termine/tie°, to make things move, dig- ging drains in the winter time when the ground is not frozen would. be con- dered simply healthy work by a uahing, go-ahead, progressive farmer. If such work is to be undertaken dur- ing the winter it will be very helpful o have it begun in the fall any time fore freezing weether. This be- ginning should oonsist of the work of pening up with a. plow, by throwieg furrow each way, and. possibly still urther using 011e horse to loosen up e ground between the two furrows so thrown out. This much done It may be left; then if at any time during the winter season conditions permit, the further work of excvat- inig go forward. to a partial or en- tre completion,. If the tile to be used re to be hauled, any considerable dis- eon, or if they are to be brought in y railroad, much valuable time can be aved. by hauling ani piliug as near the lace of destination as possible during e winter, in which case they should. e piled on a, board or other dry foun- ation, so that the frost will not in- ure them. This will of course re- uire extra handling, but that is a mall matter when the teems are need - td for plowing. and other spring work. 'WINTER CARE OF APPLE TREES. The apple orchards of our farms are 11 -important because we beve them, nit many of them are not as profit- ble &soother crops because they do not eoeiye proper attention. They are et cultivated in the sense that corn nd potatoes are cultivated. Why is so?

CAKE MAKING. ;A. grea.t mealy inexperienced house - wens thenk if they have a good recipe that is all that is necessary in order to make good cake, but the more practical realise that the best of recipes will fail in the bands of a careless cook. Perfect cake making requires exact rules and good material as well as careful judg- merle and paoeostakiong labor. /Before starting with the cake have all the ingredients at hand, and the cake tees ready. Tama thm should be well greased w:ith lard and then spriek- led with flour, this will prevent the cake from adhering to the tens when baked. Eggs should be freshi, miak per- fectly sweet and batter withaut a taint. A granite dr earthenware bowl is better to prepare the cake tie tban tie. If you, are going to use baking powder stet it with, the flou.r two or tobree times, this will make the cake finer tgreined. The eggs should be placed la a.

Thole is not necessary if the stoma has been properly used dur- ing the day. If anything is spilled on the top, wash or seraee it off at once. Bub grease af with a thick, black cot- ton cloth.

How many mothers realize tee full meaning 0,eet importance of those words. It should be the aim of every mother to make the home pleasant for all; the one Plane to whieli (eta and every member of the family may return with feelings ot happiness,. The place where the lit- tle ones may safely bring their little oa.mpanions, knowing well mother will net eare but will take an interest' in their claildish sorts, even perhaps join- ing with them, ill aquiet way. The place where the daughter can oome with her little troubles east coefidences, always sure of mother's ready ear end mother's gentle Nvorde of comfort.

Pleasant indeed, is such a hope°, anti no on in the helms is so loved and revereeced as the dear mother -who snakes it so. LET THE BABY CRT. That babies ought to ory occasionally is a. fact weal known to doctors, but One which seems to be very much against the creed ot mothers and nurs- es," says Florence Hull Winterburn in the Women's Horne Companion. "The modett babies Who never ory are un- natural specim.ens. Crying is the only exercise a. youtn,g baby gets. It expands the lungs, causes a better ca- tmint/1cm of the blood and helps on mus- cular growth. Of, course, fretting when; there is discoinefort is to be promptly attended to; and screaming, which might cause rupture, must not be allowed; but a really healthy little cry, wheia nothing particular is the matter, save that baby needs that mode of expression for his pent-up feelings—this is not a thing to make everybody ruin and try to divert the little one's attention or to stop thine, or get out of the way as if there were a fire or a runaway locomotive coming. The noise is slot pleasant, but if we were once assured that it was a harm- less pastime for tether, most of us could reconcile ourselves to it once in awhile though, not at night. If there is one basset?. ,more important than another it is that darkness and stillness go together. But although the idea may be a, novel one, there is something to be said in favor of little babies being allowed Itt small crying spell—that is, en, exercise spell—during the day, pure- ly upon the grounds of health." GRAINS OP GOLD. Service is sacred. Nature makes no new laws. The world is what you make it. im,a,gination is the artist of thought. Truth is the goal of human aspira- tion. A policy politician never faces an issue. The past is the schoolmaster of the future. Some men are long headed and nar- row hearted. A spiritual mind dwells much on spiri tu.a I things. What men cal/ re.sulth, are with God only beginnings The covetous man finds it up hill work to be honest. A new friend. and an old enemy will both bear watching. Noble deeds are steps up the moun- tain side of charaeter. In this universe of puzzles,the greet - est is God's lovs for us. • The weakest saint on his knees is too strong for the devil. A live mustard seed is more potent than a. mountain of sand, God alone can change us. Others can only bring out what is in us. It is better to insult a prejudice than to sacrifice a principle. Theology has magnified God's justice at the expense of His goodness, eastern is the tailor of habit, and makes use of popularity for pattern. 'Understanding is the scale of thought where all ideas, are weighed, We always know what a men is, when we knew what his faith saye Goa ie. The man who can hold his tongue wheel he should, has the devil at a disadvantage. a THE SHAPE OF THE EABTH. Owing to the action of certain well- known laws, the earth le not a perfect sphere. Careful measurements show that it is slightly bulging at the equa- tor, It is a simple matter to sbow proof that the /earth is inure'. Whon a ship is approaching the shore, the first parts to be seen are the top sails; as she near: the land. the lower sails teed rigging come into view, and lastly the hull appears.

The eenaluoa iclea of a snow shovel is that it is need to clear the sidewalk end that sort of thing, but the snow falls on the sea as well as 'on the land, end if there is a ship in the way of the storm the snow, nf course, falls on its decks just as it would fall on anything ashore. It may be that the snow that falls on, the ship will be washed. off by the sea, or it may be necessary to clean* it off, so as to give abetter and se -3 curer foothold on t.he decks and to faei-I litate the working a the ship. This, is oftea done with snow shovels, which' are carried by probably nine out of I ten a the deep -water ships, from one' obeatevessel reeealee. , ace.ording to the size r th The show shovels used aboard ship are mad& especially for that use. They are not iron, or steel -shod along the edge, as most a the snow shovels used ashore geowadays are, and erlseever metal is used in their construction is so plaeed that it cannot Come in con -1 tact with the deck. No iron shovel is ever used onon a. ship's deck. I As a matter of fact the snow shovel! is used on shipboard mostly when the ship is in port, where she may remain for a period of weeks, diScherging and reloading; but when the vessel sails the snow shovels are stowed away, in the lazaretto, aft, or under the fore- clustle deck, forward. On a ship bound for San Fra,misco tee show shovels may , he needed wben she es rounding Cape Horn, where snow sometimes falls in summer. Snow that falls upon the deck in. the waist of the ship is like- ly to be washed away by the water she takes aboard; the decks more likely to need shovelling are those higher above the sea, the foxecastle deck, and the quarter deck. In a time of MOW squalls the Capt. would.perhaps keep a, man standing ready with a shovel to shovel af the• sniOlV efter every squall. There might be times when the decks were iced end slippery, when the Captain would have ashes strewn upon. them to • give a securer foot- hold. eF• CeelleSeltaCeDiett.X..See- Teo taa• signature of Is on 744,e/e,e; welper.
