AGRICULTURAL TOPICS INTEL LIGENTLY DISCUSSED. Aa Iaexptnatv KMt Cellar Ballt Wholly Above Grouad Tbe Stock-Ranch, Dairy, and Garden Helpful Hiata to Booie aeepeis. Etc THE FAKM. An Inexpensive Root Cellar. ROOT cellar wholly above ground is not ad visable where frosts frequently penetrate to the depth of two or three feet, says t he A mcrUrt n A j riciiltwist. Hut a cellar partly un derground is safer and usually cheaper. If pos sible, choose a lot a t i o 11, pro tected from the prevailing winter winds by a hill, or '&1 " 5 natural drainage: ita nuuuiaiiu make an excavation to the depth of about four feet, aud a length and breadth sufiiciuut to hold the anticipated crop. This is easily done by figuring on 2..S00 cubic inches as the space required by one bushel of potatoes or other root crops. Lay up a good stone foundation to one foot above the ground, using a liberal amount of mortar. The stairs of live steps may be located upon the outside, as shown in the engraving, or placed in side the cellar as desired. The super structure may be of wood; the corner posts need not be over six feet in height. If a balloon frame, the studding should be covered with matched lumber, both outside and inside. This is to be covered with heavily tarred paper, and sheathed with matched lumber. The expense of four thicknesses of matched stun is not heavy, aud a building is .secured that is quite frost proof. The windows, which are placed upon the .side, two feet above the wall, arc double sashed, with a four inch air chamber between. The door is double, with a space between. The ceil ing should be made as impervious to cold as the side walls. A heavy application of mortar should be applied where the sills rest titon the wall; besides, the sills should be laid in mortar. The roof may be of any material desired. The interior should be divided into bins, located so A SEKV1CEAHLK KOOT CELL All. that they may be reached by a long wooden trough, one end of which can project out of either window, into which the roots are scooped direct from the wagon. Windows should be arranged so as to be readily opened or closed for ventilation. A building with a capacity of 300 bushels cau be substantially built at an outlay of from $40 to $75, owing to the amount of work the owner performs him self. Orchard Grass. W. J. Beal, in his "Wrasses of North America,"' says: Orchard grass is per ennial, lasting for many years, two or three or even five feet or more in height, rather large, coarse, rough, of a light srecn color, and grows in denso tufts. unless crowded by thick seeding. The j lower leaves are sometimes two feet or more iu length. The clustered sprkelets make dense masses on the small spread ing panicle. Tho flowers appear with those of early red clover. It is a native of Europe, and is also now found in North Africa, India, and North America, and perhaps iu other countries. Al though it came to this country from Eu rope, it did not attract much attention in England until sent back there in 18G4 j from Yirgiula. So iar as quality is con cerned, if cut in good season or pastured when young, it stands well the test of cat tle and the chemists. It is very nutritious, the seeds start quickly, and makes a very vigorous growth, and if tho grass is not a very valuable one it is certainly not from the lack of testimonials from practical farmers. The stems are not very abundant when compared with the leaves, hence the plant is more suitable for pasture than for meadow. It is the first to furnish a bite for the cattle in spring; is little affected by the drougiits of July and August, aud continues grow ing until the severe cold 01 November blocks up the sources of nourishment. When cut or grazed it starts up with great vigor. No man should sow it on his lawn, for it would need cutting every day before breakfast. If cut while in blossom, both cattle and horses are exceedingly fond of the hay and do well on it. ' If left to stand until the seeds are mature it becomes more tough and woody than even timothy, and cattle will need to have their teeth sharpened to eat it in this stage of its growth. Orchard grass loves a deep, rich, moist soil. Grown on poor, dry land by a lay farmer, it will not give satisfaction. It may be cut two or three times a year, producing large crops of the very best of fodder, just as long as the fertility of the land can be maintained by top-dressing. Cm ol the Holler. The farm roller is a most important and valuable implement for those who exercise good judgment as to when it is to be used. It is just what is needed to press winter grain firmly iu the ground after the surface has dried sufficiently. It is also excellent on clover in spring to press down small stones that might be in the way of elose cutting with the mower. Uut it should not be used on I spring grain until the latter is up three or four inches, nor on corn ground at any season if the soil be at all heavy. Corn ground needs to be light as possible, and it must be made mellow by harrow ine up. not by rolling down. New l'orfc Herald. THE C;,tKUKX. Early and Late l'otatne. The advice is being widely copied to plant all potatoes, and especially to plant the earliest varieties, at feast likely to be affected by blight and rot. There is something in the theory that the longer a variety ol potatoes is ma- turing, the greater chance disease has to attack it. The same principle faors early planting and early arietie.s in or der to escape attacks of the potato beetle. The old-fashioned peach-blow potato was so extremely late that it fur nished food for successive crops of po tatoe larvje all throuch the summer un til frost came. For this reason prob ably it was the first to run out when po tato beetles began to be numerous. Yet it is an unqucssinnrd fact that the larser proportion of potatoes grown for market are of late arietics. and lat planted often at that. The ver early ' price is often much hichcr, and a few I re planted as soon a the ground can be 1 prepared, to meet the demand about the , 4th of July, when S1..10 to j-2 a bushel is the ruling price for a few day-. Yet ' these very earlv potatoes are such light ' yielders that no large grower ever thinks of planting them extensively. They J usually sell all the early potatoes they have, not tesorvjns eeu lor seed, wuicn thev car. obtain from more r-0 ,.V,rr,,; siens in better condition for plantin next spriuc.

By fe the potatoes are setting the r will be cooler, aud the fall rains ually have begun, varieties of potatoes are often better crops when planted quite late. An early planting for them means form ing the tubers during tho hottest and dryest season of the year. But seasons differ in this respect, and it Is impossi ble to foreknow which planting shall be the best;but for early potatoes two plant ings, the early for market at higher prices, and the later for seed and a larger crop, would seem to be advisable. THE 1IOC9EHOLD. From Field aad Wood. When well arranged, dried grasses and flowers arc always beautiful. As much of their beauty consists iu the graceful forms of delicate stems and tiny seed pods, that arrangement is best which al lows this dainty tracery to be seen. An ornamental panel made of the treas ures gatharcd from field aud wood is something new and pretty, says the Country Gentleman. It is much to be preferred to the old-fashioned "dried bouquet," where delicate grasses, sol dierly oat-tails and everlastings were often packed tightlv together, effectually destroying the distinctive beauty of each. To make a panel like the one illus trated herewith, there will be required a thin board of tho desired size (board on VZ7 'J W&yl- '"Ik""' r r , - 1 ' mi PANKI. OF 1)MKI GRASSES. which certain kinds of dressed goods are wrapped answer nicely, and can be had at almost any dry-goods store for the asking), a cup of well-cooked flour paste, a sheet of wadding, enough pongee or China silk of a cream shade to cover the board, sufficient plush of a bright golden brown to make a border two or three inches wide around the panel, and a pa per of tho smallest-sized double-pointed tacks. From the wadding cut a piece the ex act size of the board, and fasten it on by pastiug along each edge; do the samo with the silk; join the four plush strips at each corner with a bias seam and turn the edge under, around tho inside of the oblong thus made. It is best to fasten the turn by hemming with long stitches. The plush must be cut large enough to turn over on to the back of the panel for a quarter of au inch. Carefully put some paste ou the border at each corner and along both edges, place it right-side down on a table and put the pane) on it, pressing softly in place; cut a square out of each corner of the plush where it pro jects beyond the board; then turn down the projecting edges ou to the back of tho board. A piece of heavy brown pa per, cut a trifle smaller than the panel, should be pasted over the back to con ceal raw edges and give a finished ap pcarance. Drive a tack on each side of the pauel near the top, on which to tie a cord to hang the pauel by. Great caro should be taken that all edges are cut perfectly straight and that all joinings are exact. The panel is now ready for the grasses, cattails, etc, which should be arranged gracefully on it and firmly fastened into position with tacks. These will not show if a leaf or full head of grass is skill fully allowed to drop over them. The pauel should be hung almost flat against tho wall, and on a level with the eye of a person standiug. This is the manner recommended by artists for the hanging of all pictures. Hiats to HoBsekeepera. Relieve pains in the sides by the ap plication of mustard. Fob nose bleed, get plenty of pow dered alum up into the nostrils. Sandpaper applied to the yellow keys of the piano will restore the color. The best thing to clean tin ware Is common soda; rub on whisky with a damp cloth, after which wipo dry. For coffee stains try putting thick glycerine on the wrong side and wash it out with lukewarm water. For rasp berry stains weak ammonia aud water is the best. Coffee pounded iu a mortar and l roasted on an iron plate, sugar burned ou not coais, ami vinegar ooueu wan i uivrrh aud sprinkled ou the floor and furniture of a sick room, are excellent deodorizers. To insure paste from molding, put into it a proportion of alum and resin. A few drops of any essential oil will pre serve leather from mold, and a single clove put into a bottle of ink will have the same effect upon it. Powdered borax mixed with a little powdered sugar aud scattered about in spots will prove certain death to cock roaches and to ants, and if that is not handy, a few drops of spirits of turpen tine sprinkled here and there will be as effective iu the case of these nuisances as it is iu the case of moths.

Do you use eggs for frosting? Don't do it. Take five tablespoonfuls of milk, one cup of granulated sugar, flavor 1 nicely with lemon or vanilla, then boil j five minutes. Beat it hard until it is cool enough to spread on the cake, ihe beauty of this frosting is that it is ready to cut as soon as thoroughly cold. It is very nice with cocoanut or grated choco ' late stirred in it. When eggs are high it is quite a saving. THE KITCHEN. I'otato Surprises. Take six large, well-washed potatoes of uniform size.

Haw Vegetable That lierthwesteraers Are Going- to Caltlvate. I Albert Myer, the ohemist, of Still- I water, was in St Paul recently, says the Globe, and in the course of a con versation on the potato crop and the good price to farmers gave an interest-1 ing talk of a new tuberiferous plant that he thought would be introduced iuMin-1 nesota and become as much of a staple as the pota'o. , "Will it flourish in this soil and cli mate V "Undoubtedly. I will tell you about . it. A few years ago a scientist diacov-1 ered in Japan a (plant resembling the , potato, aud sent camples of it to Berlin and Paris to be experimented on. These experiments have been favorable i successes, and the new potato has been extensively introduced in Berlin and . Paris, especially in hotels and restan- rants. A number of farmers in our vi cinity, with whom I have conversed upon the subject, are willing to experi ment on the plant next season. The Royal Prussian Society of Berlin has I taken plans to make experiments with the ptant The scientific name of the plant is 'Stachys tuberifera,' bnt as to ( their form ther might be called pine cones. 'Stachys affinis is another name, and lately they have given it the name 'Stachys Sieboldii.' The cultiva tion is the same as the old potato, and , there have been found over 100 knolls in one bill; some say as many as 300, j but this is probably exaggerated. They i are, of course, not as large as our com mon potato. According to the Garden ( Flora, the organ of the society, the ' analysis of the fruit is: Wilt dO.V i X rOlClUttas A.JJ AllilUO. ."

They do not need to be peeled, but are only washed clean in water, which is another blessing to the housekeeper. They are kept in the j ground as late as possible, and pre-' served packed in sand in the cellar dur ing the winter months. , "Exposed to the air they will shrink' and lose their nice, white mother-of- j pearl like color. The plant is winter- hardy, and thrives in an; soil. Frost does not hurt them, and to have them always fresh they are left in the ground ' and dug as wanted. In our climate it j is best to keep them iu a ditch or in , sand in the cellar, W. Perring, in-( spector of the Royal Botanical Garden in Berlin, informs me that the produc-, tion is very large, and that there are many enthusiasts in favor of the new I plant in that city, which prophesies the plant a great future. The expectations , of high prices and large yields will in duce a good many farmers to make a a trial with the new plant. I have a! ! ready quite a number of orders for seed." J New Eneland Laws. , The following is a copy of some of i laws which have been enforced in the good old State of Vermont: J "No one shall bo a freeman or give a , vote unless he is converted and a mem-, ber of one of the churches allowed in ' the dominion. i "Each freeman shall swear by. the blessed God to bear true allegiance tc this dominion, and that Jesus is the only king. ' "No dissenter from the essential wor ship of this dominion shall be allowed to give a vote for electing of magistrates or any officer. "No food or lodging shall be offered to a heretic. "No one shall cross a river on the , Sabbath but authorized clergymen. J "No one shall travel, cook vituals, make beds, sweep houses, cut hair, oz ' shave on the Sabbath day.

"Yea" and "No." It is wonderful how vast an amount of mischief, and of misery even, is pro duced by the simple misuse of these little words. People many times say "Yes" without thinking what it in volves, or they say "No" iu so feeble a tone that th e who are urging them tc do something which they cannot honor ably do are invited to persist until they get the tr:swer tl.ey desire. And thus they assume obligations which the; have no settled purpose to fulfil, ot l eglect duties which their own con science and their sense of honor tell them they should discharge. "Yes" i' more easily said than "No," because it is more agreeable to assent to an other's wishes thau it is to oppose them. Hence, of some good-natmed men the remark is often heard: "They cannot say 'No.' " Young man, consider well what you are asked to do before you pronounce your "Ye-;" but, having utter; d it, re member that the reply to all who wish to break your promise must be a "No" eo emphatic, prompt, decisive, that they cannot for a moment doubt that yon mean it. You have made a great at tainment if you have learned to say "No," and stick to it. Frequently you will find it a mest unpleasant word, sometimes a very painful word to utter. But that sort of pain is momentary. It is not the pain caused by conscience violated, by honor sullied. It is ut the paiu produced by the life-long memory of evils inflicted on yourseil and others whieh a little timplv firm- ne-9 would have preveuted. "Let your i 'Yea' be Yea," aod your Nay' fee Nay.'

New Savlafs Baak System Which Is Said to Work Well. A novelty in banking circles will be introduced into the city with tho new year. It Is called tho "Nickel Savings Stamp System," and is designed espe cially for savings banks. Tho system was put in operation iu Juno by Edwin F. Mack, a Detroit banker. It has been successfully tested in Detroit, San Fran cisco, Denver, Louisville. St. Paul, Los Angeles and Columbus, O. Agencies for the various banks will be established at various points throughout the city and to a great extent in drug stores in the resident part of the town. Sheets containing twenty stamps of the system will be left with tho druggist. These stamps are blue and a little larger than the ordinary 2-ccnt postage stamp. In their center is the picture of a squir rel on tho limb of a tree, the emblem of foresight and thrift. A boy or girl, or any one, for that matter, can buy ono of these stamps for 5 cents, or can buy as many as he or she pleases at tho same price. When 81 worth of stamps has been sold, a book is presented free to the holder of the stamps This book's pages are ruled in little rectangular spaces just large enough to allow the pasting, of a stamp, and thero are twenty of such places on tho page. When the page is filled the book is taken to the bank and an account with the de positor is opened. The depositor is credited with a dollar and given a pass book at the bank. No deposit for less than a dollar will be received at the bank. The first lot of these books was re ceived yesterday, when 1,000 of them came to the Franklin Savings bank. Cashier Seidlitz went to Detroit to make arrangements for them. The system has grown to be an im mense thing in somo cities. In Detroit one bank sold over 350.000 stamps in less than four months and issued between 6,000 and 7,000 nickel savings books. About 70 per cent, of the customers were under 15 years of age. Tiic aggre gate savings of the town through this system were about 50,000 a year. Kan sas City Star. The Only One.

Each woman de posits a small sum of money as her en trance fee, and the winners pay the rent and the woman in charge of the rooms. Tho gambling is done by means of bits of paper containing the numbers, passed around like refreshments on a plate, and each woman draws a piece iu turn.
