-0-" RURAL LIFE. BY A SON OF THE SOIL. A Non OX BUILDING. There is a lull in the building- of bungalows and country cottages just now, but I hoar that at Clewlcvs—between Blackpool and Fleetwood an exhibition, on the lines of the one held during the past summer at Letehworlii, is already arranged. I am voroir.ded of this by a question as to how oiif- my f i'irrosoondents can keep the basement wails of a house -bicit he is about to build perfectly dry and prevent the rainwater from soaking through. The level of the basonie nt. floor is several feet below the ground level, and the building is to be in a dry and sandy soil. WATERPROOFING FOUNDATIONS. It is easy to keep basement walls perfectly dry if they are covered with waterproofing, applied as follows: Put on three coats of burlap or two coats of builders' paper and one of burlap, each coat being laid in and thoroughly covered with hot asphaltum. Care should be taken to see that the builders' paper or burlap is lapped at least six inches, and also to see that the different layers break joints. In order to be iiure thit the dampness will ii«t rise ljr. through the Ir-iek wall itself, a darr.p jou* sacli. as is shown in the above sWeh "MUlC* be used, xhis damp joint consists r,f »*.r0' iri&tc-rial as the waterproofiner on the tnitsR'.e tif the wall de- scribed ;:bove, and should Lc: -ippliod as indicated in tho sketch in order not to break the bond in the wail. If the building were -ot located in a dry soil, we should also recommend covering the top of the concrete used for your basement floor with waterproofing the same as specified for the outside wall, making a point between this waterproofing and damp joint where it comes through tl. brick wall. This would make your basement w"!Is and floor absolutely imper- vious to water u dampness, but would not of course prevent the condensation of moisture from tho atmosphere if the temperature of the basement is lower than that of the outside air. The latter can only bo prevented by good ventilation. A PORT AT. Y E WATER HEATER. A very simple portable water heater has re- cently been invented by an American; it is in- tended particularly for warming the water in a bathtub or a basin. The heater is arranged in the form of a float which fioats on the water, and can thus be m ved around to different parts of the tub as desired. Our illustration shews the device heating a basinful of water. It consists of a copper shell or bowl fitted into a wooden ring. The latter affords sufficient buoyancy to float the device. A gas burner is supported on the float, and consists of a pipe bent to project into the copper shpll. The open end of this pipe terminates near the bottom of the bowl. At its outer end the pipe is formed with a number of perforations which permit an inflow of air to in- crease the temperature of the flame. The quan- tity of air admitted is governed by a sleeve on the pipe, which may be moved to cover anv de- sired number of holes. A flexible tube connects the burner with a gas fixture. The flame of the A PORT-KBLY WATER HEATER. I burner is directed against the bottom of the I copper bowl, bearing t-e thin shell to a high de- gree of To confine the heat within the bowl. sfvral of coiled wire are placed within, as indico-ed ;:i the engraving. coils effect a savin of heal, so that tho water s-irrnundlir: the heater is raised to a high temp-3ture 1' an economical consumption of gas. The valve this device will be particularly felt in summer time, when the cooking is done ordinarily on a small stove instead of a coal ran re, and it is difficult to obtain a supply of hot water. With this novel heater a basinful of hot water may be obtained in a Few moments, and at short notice enouch can be heated fo" the bath while there can be no ques- tion as to its value on the farm or in the kennel where hot wn*rr ofJen required at short notice. CLOVER AS AX EGG-PRODUCER. Experience has often demonstrated the value of clover for egg-pro;eii:g. Clover has just the material in it to form egg-shell, hence it be- comes an essentia,' part of every ra.tion given to the fowls. It may not be generally understood that a- T)eE,riv 301b. of lime contained in each l.OCClb. of clover. The hens and pullets fed daily with clover will consequently prove better egr-lavers than those denied it. The clover I h?.y should be given to fowls in winter in quan- titie sufficient to satisfy them, and to make them eat more it is desirable sometimes to pre- pare it in various v/ys. Cook and shop it, and mix it with meal or other stuff. This will some- times induce the hens to consarne a great amount of clover every day. Cut into short lengths and mixed with warm mash, and then given only as fast r»3 the fowls will clean it up each day, is pro- bably the most economical way to supply the clover. Some people cut the second crop of clover and place it in the poultry-yard for the birds to eat and scratch over at pleasure. This or itself is all right, but it is rather wasteful. More than half the clover will be lost, and the fowls do pot actually .-at much more than the leaves. The stalks contain most of the lime, and t'il,"(, be prepared so that the birds will consume them. Of all the foods that can be raised on a farm for poultry, c!:>vrr is not only the best, but probably the cheapest, and a field of it is ns essential to success as a pasture field is necessary to the success of dairying. A B>:AI-TIFITL PLANT. The family of which the Canterbury bell (Cam- panula medium) i" a member forms a highly in- I teresting and desirable class of handsome flower- I ing plants for the decoration of the garden. The large beils of the pure white varieties are especi- ally handsome, and should be freely grown for the contrast which they afford with most other I /lowers. The double varieties are especially fine. | A D0TBLE dANTEKBTTBY BELL. | and May is the b&st time for sowing. The pyra- I midalis and alba form very useful SiQd natidwtne J pot plants; while the best varieties for trie garden are tho double white, of which an illm. tration is given, the turbinata, the calycantheir, a (blue, white, and rose coloured), and perricifoli: TOMATOES. The present is a good time to sow a batch 0; tomato seed for second early work, says a writer. This is a work that is done in a variety of ways in market places, and very often not so well as it might be. Very generally boxes are used for this purpose, but for winter sowings we do not like them. In our opinion there is nothing so good for the purpose as pots 32's or f 24's. These should be quite clean, and it n^ bo soaked for an hour before getting readv for seed sowing. We usually tu" email pot upside down over the draina^ hJ|0 an(j fill in round this with smaii c u(le¥g( putting over tho whole a thin ,ayer (rf Th(? 90[\ for seed-raising•slio' parts Ught loam> one part leaf m Qf >^oo 0Qa part end air-slaked lime. If Eowdered cKarar^l to hand &-parfc of this will e The pots should be filled (co Within ü: the rims. and teen be watered with Idoilin:; wafer through a tint" ro-o. When the trater has socked away, and before the soil has become cold, the seeds should be sown tnmly over the surface, not like mustard and ciess, ao is so generally the case, but at an average Oi ->in. between the seeds. The whole shouid be covered with gin. of fine compost, and the pots oo covered with sheets of glass. The propagaunu house should not go below 7Cdo:Fahr., fedd it the seed is srood it will soon ge-mnmato. A ca.e- ful watch must, be kept, and the moment is seen to be a movement it the soil i: i must, be removed, or the soedinvrs Will reernie drawn or spoilt. If the propa,atinrr nense r a aoocl one, the sheets of glass can be duspcn.-erl with altocether. The seed pot should be kept well up to tboqlass of the house-12in. will be a trood distanc-e—and with careful watering and ventilation the plants will come into the roujsh leaf while less than 2in. Li,h. CuctiMSERa'. The present will do well for the sowing of the seeds of cucumbers for early spring of fruit for market, and it may not be out of place to give a hint or two about the way in which this work should be done. It may be thought ths,t anyone can raise a cucumber plant from seed, but we know that many make but a poor job of it, and that through not adopting the best methods many seeds are wasted, and where they do come up many of the plants are poor attenuated things that rarely get away properly when planted out. The first necessity is a cucumber house or pro- pagating pit, in which a heat of 75deg. to 80deg. can be maintained, and a bottom heat of 85deg. If a thousand plants are wanted, then quite 1,200 seeds should be sown, as no matter how good the seeds may be there are suse to be a good many seedlings which a good grower will reject. We like a soil composed of three parts light fresh loam, half a part good fibrous peat rubbed through a Jin- sieve, and the remainder made up of leaf mould and sharp sand. To every bushel of this compost a 48-pot full of air- slaked lime should be well mixed in. Small 60- pots should be crocked and be filled with this soil to within in, of their rims. The soil should be made nicely moist, and then be raised to the temperature of the house. Then the seeos should be sown one in each pot. putting the seed in edgeways and covering it about iin. with the soil. The pots should be plunged to the rims in ashes or cocoanut fibre refuse, and the who! be covered with lin. of moss that has been pre- viously well scaldod to destroy insects. If tne temperature is kept steady at as near SOdeg. as possible every seed that is of any ,use will be up in three days. Care must be taken to remove the moss the moment the seeds peep through tne soil, and every seed with a deformed cotyledon should be rogued out at once without a moment's hesitation. The plants should be stoon: on raised benches within 15in. of the glass and be kept watered and sprayed, all water for oo h purposes being of the same temperature as the house.
