• HOUSEHOLDnmuTios is wixtbb. People sometimes fancy that I lie ft is less need of rantilatiun at Ibis season of the year than In summer, when the odor of the air in a confined room * ould alone be enough to condemn it. In the winter the air Is just m bad— probably worse, with onr storm window* and weather ■trips anil coal-burners— though the cold makes its foulness leas perceptible to the •enact. To make a house aa light as a drum, then beat It by radiation with stoves and breathe the air over ind over again, until Its vitality is exhausted and It is filled with exhaled poisons from the longs of the family, not to-menUon possible tobaJb smoke and odors from cooking- !/ suicidal to the health and disgusting to a refined taste. The greatest pos-ible care should bo taken to seThis doesn't imply that you should pull down a window or open the door and freeze the baby or give yourself the influenza. Be very careful to vent Hate at the right time and in the proper way. Teach every member of the family to pull his bed to pieces on rising, spreading each separate article on chairs so that the air may circulate freely through it for an hour or more; on leaving the room open opposite windows, one at the top and one at the bottom (odo will do, if there is a fire-place), and cose the door least three times a day, when the family 'is at meals. If you open opposite winis at meals. II opposite win- u

dows an inch, the air will be much lm- o proved and the room will not be made » chilly In so abort a time. Treat the din a ing-room and kitchen in the same way a when the members of your household t! are elsewhere. i The friends who live in only one or | two rooms should be more careful about h ventilation that anyone else, because the v air gets bad faster in a small space. If r there is a baby, throw a blanket over | his crib, ami open your windows every c time he goes to sleep. If it Is uncom- i fortable for the real of you, wrap up and t walk or piny with the older ones outside t of tbe house for five or ten minutes. If j you make the matter one of earnest t study, you will be able to keep the air t reasonably pure in ypur houses, and not i take cold either. 1 To those intending 1 1 build houses, it | ventilator known to efficacious as s fire- I place. As long as wood or coal is burn- I ing In the grate, there U a constant i draft upward which la carryiug out the When the weather for a week has I been cold and rainy, wltli sleet and snow - and raw guMs of wind, what delight to wake up some morning and see in pros- I pect a bright day. When for weeks past I we have caught colds and loet our tern- i pers over frozen clothes, which must i hang in graceful festoons across the crowded kitchen, how we hail a bright 1 day for the washing, bow we say, "I'm i so glad il'a pleasant, the hen will be . sure to lay, and I can make a cake for Sunday." How we put the bedclothes I out to air.snd drag all unresisting scraps l of rag carpet to a position on the back < fence. As I write, the sun is streaming ' through the window, gladdening the I bar of gold across the freshly-swept sit- I ting-room floor. A bright day. Many n time I've raisod my face towards the > blue sky aud-w^l. "I thank tbcc, dear • Lord, for this beautifully." They are i like the bright-headed tacks In a homemade lounge. They may be irregularly 1 put in, here and there one missing, or i but they certainly brighten up a usees. i •ary article, so that the worn edges and crooked back are almost lost sight of.

Ills conclusions are that the action of tea Is cumulative; lis action uie action oiica u cumulative; iisacuou

FARM. utxan srrxErnoeraaT* at nojntr-r*xx J ' It may not always be cheaper to make I superphosphate on the form, but the ' farmer will have perhaps more confi- f denre hi that prepared by himself, { though » good commercial article can a • always be procured from'reliable dealers, a f The "object in making superphosphate > r on the farm is the earing of large amounts ' t of bone that are annually wasted or al- 1 r lowed, to slowly decay. "lie quantity F , of fertilizing material in the shape of « r unreduced bones that arc wasted oh a I 1 single farm may not amount to over 100 < e pounds, but if every farmer would en- 1 » deavor to avoid this loss tlicWotal sum 1 J saved in thfwhole country would reach ' r up to .the millions. The great difficulty, ' J however, is in the reduction of the bones. 1 0 The superphosphates on the market are 1 - made by combining 40 pounds of sul- 1 1 phnric acid with 100 pounds of pounded ' I or ground •bones, but farmeis do not 1 - take kindly to handling the dangerous 1 sulphuric acid (oU of vitriol), and as the I . bones cannot be pulverized without the ' i aid of machinery they are permitted to i c of dissolving the bones that ia superior 1 t- to tbe acid process', which is to pound ! ■. tile bones in a ftortar or trough to the ' o sire of walnuts, or smaller, and reduce I- them with wood ashes. A box, barrel, ' 0 hogshead, or any other suitable appareb. lus, is used, a layer of wood ashes, two e inches thick, being put in, and next a e layer of bones, alternating with the 1 will be full. Shake the materials down it well, and press them, occasionally alighty ly wetting the mass in order to settle i. the materials well together. Now pour

water lo saturate tho whole, and insert a tn lie at the bottom of tbe barrel, wiib a buekrt under It to secure the water may gradually find lis way down, the same as is done when making lye. pouring urine In occasionally, keepthe contents of the barrel constantly soft enough to be crushed rio a pulp with the fingers. The proccA is a chemical ime, for the phosphoric acid of the bones unites with the potnitfi of the adics. forming phosphate of poipsh. ttie nitrogen assisting to form, nitrate of potash and carbanate of ammonia, while the gases are prevented from escaping tbe moisture. This is a better article more nilrogee (which includes that added in the nrinel and also tontains potash. It is almost a compete fertilizer, and perhaps the best that <*0 made. All that will be necessary aftbe bones shall have become soft will be to turn the contents of the barrel out, work them Willi a spade and put tliein back into the barrel until used. At this season the only mode of giving the colts exercise is to turn them out Inthe yards, but on fair days, if they should be allowed In jJuTttclds, where tlier can have an opportunity to run, It would he beneficial. If an hour during the day should be thus given them thoy might be kept in the stalls without inJury. Seed corn cannot be too dry, according to the expeitcncc of a Connecticut farmer, who states that although his com Is good, sound and so dry that it will ailde around with 'a touch, nevertheless he Is taking the precaution to A strong solution of red oak bark It ■aid to be an excellent remedy for chicken cholera. It it mixed with the food, and also added to the drinking water. Animals of vicious habils should never used for breeding purposes, as vices are transmitted. By careful breeding iu this respect the dispo.-illoiis of the . animals can bo partially controlled. Those who expect beautiful beds of flowers next spring should prepare a i special compost for the flower-yard. Fine manure and wood dirt, free from . litter, should be composted now, and urine poured over it occasionally. Bc- , fore using add a bushel of bone dust to , every wheelbarrow load of compoat.aand , use it liberally around the plants. Study the plants. Notice their drtnk-

, Ing habits, ll will soon be seen which [ will need the moat water. It will be found that they will take but very little if the day lie ilaik ; U it be pleasant they will require more. Especially in . Ibe first part of winter is this noticeable. The days are short and often cloudy. Tbe plats have not filled the pots with rools. therefore it is better to be on the safe side and not give too much water. Almost any soil can be brought to proper condition by spading to the depth of fifteen inches and incorporating with ibe nature] earth well-rotted stable manure and sand, if too heavy, and well-rotted manure and clay and wood aahea, if too light and sandy.

" The lungs arejhe Wood purifier!, and in order to perform their functions must . have plenty of oxygen. An ordinary pair of lungs require at least 2,000 cubic feet of air in an hour, and so murh oxyis consumed and carbonic acid produced by an oil lamp, or candle, as by an individual." A small gas jet will conaa much oxygen as four persons. Impurttie% are. constantly thrown off from the lungs and skin into tho atmosphere, and it is decomposition of these particles from our bodies that'eausds the air of a close room to become fetid and produce sleepiness and headache ia those confined in it, and it habitually breathed is rate to cause disease. .Impurities In the atmosphere, when heated, as they ale when coining from the .body, or s lamp or gas jet. become lighter' and rise to the top of the room, hence the necessity for tonus provision for tbe escape of this foul air and the entrance of a fresh supply. The air of a moder-ate-sized sitting-room should be changed several times every hour. An open fireplace will do this, and is an excellent j means of ventilation; a fire will drew 1 , the chimney from 6,000 to 20,000 cubic feet of air in an hour. Compara- . lively few pebons seem to realize lifijf ' , to the health of tbe family is , t he thorough airing of bedrooms and , bedclothes daily. Windows should be opened from top as well as from bottom and the apartment carefully dusted with i a cloth, not with a feather-duster, as the ; latter merely removes the dust from the . furniture to again fill the air of the room. I A good way to venti'ate a sitting-room , is to raise the lower sash of a window . three or four Inches and fill the space . with a board. The air will enter through r (be space between the sashes with an , upward tendency, and we thus avoid t dreughta. 1 "Lecturing out in Dakoto at this sear son of the year." says the New Y'ork ' Sun, "has ita drawbacks.
