A Sweet Breath.

No lady's mouth can be attractive, if the
teeth are unclean, covered with tartar, OF
carious. Many possess good teeth, but
few take sufficient care to preserve them.
They should be well brushed night and
morning, with moderately hard bursh,
which should also act on the gums, as this
will keep up a brisk circulation in them, and
impart frmness and health. The mouth
should, after every meal, be carefully rinsed
out. 1t is prudent to avoid drinking liquors
either too hot or too cold, nor should cold
water be taken Immediately after hot soup;
after taking acids, the mouth should be well
washed and brushed. for acids destroy the
enamel. An excellent dentifrice is made of
equal parts of prepared chalk, cuttle-6sh
and cream tartar, reduced to impalpable
powder and blended together. To sweeten
the breath, almost the only substance that
should be admitted to the ladies' toilet is the
concentrated solution of chloride of soda
from six to ten drops of it in wineglassful
of pure water, taken Immediately after the
operation of the morning. In some cases,
the odor arising from carious teeth, is COM
bined with that of the stomach; if the mouth
be well rinsed with teaspoonful of the
solution of the chloride in tumbler of va
ter, the bad odor of the teeth will be removed.

This is quite common land may dol in liv-

farmer. A horse may breathe and slobber
over box fun of hay until he spoils it en-
tirely, and win not eat it afterwards at all.
Every stable should be provided with good
racks made IN the following way:
The sticks or bars of the rack should be
perpendicular and the slanting part (which
holds the hay, should lean from the horses.
There Is then no danger of their getting the

Stalls should be at least six feet wide for
the comfort of the animals. and when tied,
it should be always done with head halter.
The practice of having ropes and chains to
fasten with, ought to be discarded entirely.
Horses ought to be well rubbed and curried
every evening. If they have been at work
the dirt ought to be carefully cleaned from
their legs. This prevents swelling of the
limbs, and attention in this respect provides
against scratches. II.

Benefits of Advertising.

A merchant of Hamilton recently laid out
considerable sum in advertising. for the
purpose of determining the advantages
which would result from it. He informed
US that from the investment of about $50
he has made clear profit in one week of
about two hundred dollars. He is satisfied
that the above is put at a low figure, and
then there is the advantage hereafter to be
derived from it. The estimate has establish
ed to his satisfaction the fact that if man
wishes to prosper in business he must make
his business known to the public.-LesoistOs'

Turnips.

Ordinarily, with our western farmers, the
extensive culture of turnips may not be sd-
visable, when Indian corn is so easily grown,
and which is so much more nutritious, and
so easily stored and fed out to all kinds of
farm stock, but an acre or so may be grown
upon almost every farm, to advantage
They not only serve as an excellent yegeta-
BILE for the use of the family, but they are
valuable for milk cows, ewes and other farm
stock, during winter, and tend greatly to
promote their health, as well as increasing
the flow of milk. But on many farms the
present season, the corn crop has been great
ly injured, if not entirely cut off by exces-
sive rains and floods in MAY and June; much
of the land thus denuded of the staple crop,
may be sown to turnips to great advantage
the present season, affording substitute In
some instances for corn, and clearing the
land of an immense crop of weeds that
would otherwise follow. The ground should
be ploWed Immediately, in order to kill the
weeds, and the operation repeated just be-
fore sowing. As soon after the tenth of the
present month (August) as the ground can
be prepared and favorable season occurs,
the seed may be sown, but fifteen or twenty
days later will answer, and with favorable
fall will insure good crop. We prefer to
drill in the seeds, and for that purpose have
a machine; there are various forms of these,
costing from Se, 90 to $1,000. With the
one we use, four acres may easily be drilled
in day. If it is intended to work them
with horse and cultivator, the rows should
be sufficiently wide for this purpose; but
twelve inches apart will admit of man go
ing between them with hoe, and one good
dressing in this way. with proper thinning,
will frequently more than double the pro-
duct. There are many varieties of the tur-
nip grown in England and in the northern
parts of our country, where the climate is
better adapted to root crops generally. But
with US the common fiat, white or purple
top Dutch variety is best, because, it
is earliest and will mature when some of the
more nutritious kinds would not. There is
an abundant supply of turnip seed this sea-
son. and every farmer would do well to SOW

Fame.

Clad with the moss of gathering years,
The stone of fame shall moulder down,
Long dried from soft affections tears,
It's place unheedsd and unknown.
Ahi who would strive for fame that flies
Like forms Of miskbefore the+gale?
Renown, but breathes before it dies
a meteor's path! an idiots tale!
Beneath retirement's sheltered wing,
From mad conflicting clouds remote,
Beside some grove-eneircled spring,
Let wisdom build your humble cot.
There clasp your fair one to your breast,
Your eyes impeafPd with transports tear,
By turns caressing and caressed-
Your infant prattlers sporting near.
Content your humble board shall dress.
And poverty shall guard the door
Of wealth and fame, If you have less
Than monarehs, you of bliss have more.
