imam^f THE HOME. FRKSERVTNG AND CANNING. Kvery housewife who takes pride in aeltiiDg a nii« table the year r<,iiuiil will lay im a supply at fruita now while they are plentiful. A few days of steady wxjrk will accomplish this, and although it may be somewjiat wearisome it is pleasant work nevertheless. To facili- tate matters generally have everything iin readinessâ€" the fruit, sugar, cans, jars, etc. The best ca.nning peaches are free- st-»aie8. S(>.le<;t those not over-ripe, for thein tbi-y will not loee their shape after being canned a while. A little wire ba-'ket or dipper is very handy at this time.

When they are cooked re- move carefully to the jar and fUl to the top with syrup. Then proceed to cook a.nothicr canfal, sealing each care- fully while hot. Peach jelly is made by paring, ston- tng an<l slicing the peaches into a jar and adding a third of the kernels torushed. Put the jar into a pan of boiling water and stir occasionally un- til th* fruit is -well broke.n and heated. Strain and add the juice iof a lemon to each piojt of fruit juice. Measure again and measiure out a pound of sugar to each pint of fruit juic«. After the juice has boiled twenty minutes add the »ugar heate<l. Let it come to a boil and take inatantly from the fire.

Ihere is such a de.lcttte refreshimg flavor atiout it that no farm should be wiihuut a pear t re* ot some good canming variety. Pears like peaches, should, be selected under rather than over-ripe.

Puit the floured lierries in a buAtered mould, cover close- ly, an<l boil two houirs. Serve with a tuird sauce. A LITTLE LAM:P LORE. Three point* to be remembered in dealing with laanpe are: Buy good ones in the first place; keep them clean, use good oil, £ach laimp ought to be, examined every day, for even Lf the oil is not exhausted, it will probably require re- plenishing, and the glass will have to be cleaned. One cloth should be kept specially for this purpose, and another for wiping the la«np for if an oil cloth be used for glass it will make it look smeary and dirty. A long-handled brush for denning the inside of the glass, and a paij of lamp scissors will be required. It is. however, a mistake to cut the wicks too often, and when cut only the top of the frayed part should be removed with the scissors. and the wick then rubbed until level with the burner. When filling the reservoir be careful not to flU It auite to the top. When this is done, the lamp oftfn splutters an<l gives a very irregular light. No greater mistake can be made than to use cheap lamps or cheap Oiil. The lat- ter is very diiagerous and it is sure to be highly Inflanimable. Moreover, it does not give a goo<l liglvt, and fre- quently ha« an unpleasant odour, and cheap lamps are cooslanlly getting out of order. SAVED HIS BOY. PLAIN STATEMENT FROM ROBT. McLEOD, OF GALT.

I believe that, had it not been, for Dr. WilUams' Pink Pills my littlrt tH>y would not fiave been living to-day.

The popular no- tion that it is too hard for the horses' feet is a mistake, as we always keep the stalls ao thoroughly bedded that their feet rarely touch the cement ; while itji durability is one of its great- est advantages and malkes it, in the long run, the cheapest possible floor that can be laid In the stable. There are other advantages connected with it, such as warmth, as there can be no poKsible blowing of cold air under it coming up through cracks, as is the j caie with pilank floors, it is easy to I keep the stables clean, for the cement doe-s not ab.sorb any liquid, and when freshly cleaned and bedded the stables are entirely free from t>dor. Other ad- vantages are the furnishing of no place for rata to breed and harbor, as is the case with all plank floors, and the per- fe<;t saving of all the liquid, which is by far the most valuable portion of the manure. [ note ailso (hat you recom- mend a slope of 1 1-2 inches in the floor of the stable. I can see no possible ad- vantage in this, but more than one disadvantage; I should lay all floors perfectly level in every direction. The disadvantages are, first, a little more danger of horses slipping on the floor, second, a slope causes the urine to run back so that in paasing through the stable behind the horses the boots are saturated with it, and if it reaches, as it often will, the wujls of the stable, it will cause the boards to rot, and the urine will be lost. The proper way is to bed the stuills so thoroughly that all the liquid will be absorbed by the bed- ding, as in this way there will be no loss, and it will help to decompose the manure and add to its strength. As there is some little danger of slipping as horses get up in the staills, even on w level floor, we guard against this by m.ikiug small grooves in the freshly laid cement by laying a broom handle down and ta|jping it until it beds one- half its di&meier, and these grooves are made about four inches apart, for the space of two or three feet at the rear of the stalls. If one can obtain grav- el, sand and broken stone, convenient- ly a stable floor of the best Portland cement can be laid al less expense than a good two-inch plank floor, can be put in. and the fanner and his help can do the work at a Mlack season of the year when other work is not push- ing. Some writers recommend u.sing the ciuiap gradea of cement, but aside from the fact that It i.s doubtful wheth- er the fk>or^ would stand the wear if uii'.de from tbio kind of material, there is lit lie economy in it. as the best Port- land cement will admit of using so much larger proportion of sand and f [ravel with it as to make the cost l)ut itile more than if the cheap cement is used. 1 have used on my farm more than foriy barrels of this cenient in the last ten years, and have used night barrels of gravel to one of cement for tlie concrete founchition. and two bar- rels of sand to one of cement for the topping, and all my floors, both out-of- doors and insiiie of buildings have giv- en r-erfec-t satisfaction, .\uother advan- tage in using the Portland cement is thai the htable may be u.seil for horses in ten ilays from the time the cement is laid down ; while Ihose who recommend the cheap grades of cement .•fay thai three months must elapse be- fore il i« safe lo put the horses on the floor. I e^^>t•cially like cement in the cow stable, as 1 never enter one with plank floors in which 1 do nol find a rank odor ; but when we clean our -sta- bles out and apply a freHh, fine bed- ding, fur we always use some kind of chair or Kawdust tor lidding in the cow stable, Ihere is no odor, but the air is always pure and fresh, if the stable is properly ventilated. I am particularly pleased with cejuenl for hog houses and fet;ding flcKjrs for hogs, as they are easily kept clean and give no harbor tor rats. A neighbor of mine, some years ago, had an old plank fecHling floor for bogs, about 12 by 20 feet, and the rat-s bred inder it in such num- jjbers that they were destroying his poultry and over-running all "the out- buildings on the farm. U« determined on a rat hunt, and in order to get them all, he si!t wide boards on edge at a little distance a»ay around the floor, before beginning to tear it up, got some neighljors' boys and dogs to help in the fight, and the resuilt was that 37.5 rats were killed. I have always found that rats abounded on Ihe farm that fur- nished safe breeding places for them, aud are rarely found where there are no safe places for them to harbor. GBlOW YOUR OWN CLOVER SEED. iMauy fanners from force of habit do not grow their clover seed, but buy it frjun yelar to year. Such a course for the average farmer I think is not wit-e. Clover is practically the great restorer, says National Sto«kman. We may talk a great deal about manures and rotation, but after all these sink into insignifii'ance when comparison is made with this great renovating crni>. Will not th* experience of hundreds of farmers corroborate this? No mat- ter how cheap clover seed may be pur- chased in the local market it has alway.s been a considerable item of ex[)ense to the farmer. A bushel of clover seed this spring wras equivalent in value to twenly-tive bueheils of com, or thirty- five bushols of oals delivered. To pro- duce a bushel of clover seed ordinarily is not nearly so expensive as the cost of growing the quantity of these grains raenlioued. It may !« that dover seed wUl Ijj! cheaper this yeay. However this may be I do n(n^ Lhlnk the seed in this jtart »jC th« ooLatry ever sells under its (;o8t of production. But tb-ere are stronKer rea.sons why farmers should raise their own seed for jjers'Jiial use than for Ihe money ii will bring ihem la the njiai-ket. They are sure to have an articje at cost oif pro- duction which they know is reliable, I'liey are sure of what they are sowing. There will to no need of sowing seed five or six years old. nor will they .sow the M.^immoth or some other variety for the medium or vice versa. The farmer who grows his own .seed will more like- ly have enough for all purpo)*«s than the one who buys. This spring we sow- ed afield Mtiroh 17. t»n account of un- favorable weaiher it proved a poor "catch." Miost likely had we Lnjught the usual amount of seed we would have lieen i-onlent with the stand. But hav- ing iilenty of our own see<l we sowed the field again almut a month later. The second sowing, judging from the prospevt. will pay us well. Farmers caunoi afford lo have a ixior "catch " of i^lover. If it is not advisable to have a crop of se*d every year then plan to have it onoe in two years. POULTRY HOUlSE WHITEWASH. A capital whitewash is made by mix- ing ixjinmon wnter lime cement \vith sweet, skimmed milk to the proper con- sistency. The following is the govern- ment whitewash, and a fine whitewash it is : Put two pailfuls of boiling water in a barrel ; add one-half of a bushel of w ell burned, fresh quicklime : imt in quickly one peck of common salt, dissolved in hot water, and cover the barrel tightly to keep in the steam while the lime is slaking ; when the vio- lent ebullition is over stir till well mix- ed together, and, if necessary, add more boiling water, ao as to have the mass like thick cream, strain Ihrougu a sieve or coarse cloth. Make a thin starch of three pounds of rice flour and one pound of strong glue, having firsi soak- ed the glue in cold water, and to the latter mixture aild two pounds of whit- ing. Adi) this to the lime wnsh, and also sufficient hot water lo dilute to the proper cuneisteucy ; keep hot w bile applying. It will require about six quarts of the mixture to 100 square feet of surface, and it will last remark- ably well. It goes without saying, that it may to made any color desir- ed. PLANET MARKS ON THE BODY. Atnertlon Tlial Kvrrv PrrHau Hao Our at "I assure you I have no moles," say some people but this is impossible; ev- ery human creature when it is torn toars on some part of its body the mark of the sign or planet which gov- erned at the hour of its conception and nativity, and moies are contingent on these, impresiied by the influence of the celestial signs, and answering thereto, not only in their formation and position, but varying a-cording to the dominion of the several planets. Moles are of three colors, red, honey coior, and black, flat or raised like a wart, those <jn the right aide of the fa-e or person toing usually symboli- cal of good, while those on the left mostly deni'te ills and misfortunes. After a long and exbuuslive study of the science a savant says heiscon- vinied that not only the chaiater, ta.stes and disposition of an individual but the future itself tu a great ex- tent may lie determined by the lo>al posiliuu. relation, and gene;al appear- an.'c ol these natural maras. If tbt' sun, at a nativity, to in Aries and a».endant, the mark of that sign will to found on the head. pro. ably on the left ear. When Venus is lady, a flat violet mark will to fount on the thighs. When torn under Gemini the mark is on the arms. If torn under the first part of the sign of Cancer, the mark is atove the breast, and has no feeling if pierced by a net'dle, ThoM! who are torn under Capricorn have the sign on the knees. When Leo is ascendant the marks are on the left breast. If Mercury 1« lord, the murks are on the left side, or upon the legs. I'be nativity toing under Virgo, there are black or reddish spots on the stomach, Th«' last of the signs, Pisces, governs the feet, and thoBC Uiru under this do- minion are of plea.siug countenance, brave and inge|ii|>us. A man having a mole on the right side of t lie forehea<l will to e.xceedingly lucky. To a woman it denotes gills from the dead. One on the loft side of the forehead foretells to a man limg imprisonment; to a woman, that she will have two h.usbanil."*, and probably live out of her own country. If it to in the middle of the tore- head, it denotes, in a man a cruel ininil, and it shows a woman to to fool- ish, simple and idle. A mole on the hinder part of the neck predicts a happy life, but threa- tens untimely death by drowning. A mole on toth sides of the iieik. opposite to each other foretells dangers and perils with ill forlun». A man having a mole on the left side of the upiier lip rarely marries and in a womon it denotes trouble and suffering. If on the umler lip. it shows her to to improvident, and a man hail to,st towaie of her, A mole in the hollow of the chin de- notes a woman to to contentious and (luarrelsome. On the edge of the chin it shows good fortune, happy marriage and a long life, of whatever color it may to, excepting black. To possess a mole upon the throat is very unlucky, indicating that the in- dividual w ill die by the hand of justice, or should it api)eaf as a wart he perish- es by water. On the right side of the upper lip, a finger's oreath above the mouth, a mole signifies to either sex great good fortune, A woman having it will to comely, gra.eful, healthy in Iwdy and careful for the things of this world; she will marry well and live happily, her best time for n.arriage toing between 19 and 24, and she will make a true wife and an e.xceptioually happy okotlwi.
