EVERY ANIMAL WANTS WATER
Many of our dumb an mails suffer
extremely for want Of natures cooling
and refreshing beverage. Horses ana
mich cows relish II supply of cool,
fresh water, far more than we are wont
to suppose. A pond Of standing water
rs utterly unfit for a watering place for
domestic animals of any kind. When
horned cattle have access to a small
pond having no outlet, the water will
soon become so foul with the accumu-
lations of fecal matter, that every ami
mai viii suffer from extreme thirst
before it will drink at such place -
Watering troughs should be kept as
clean and sweet as milk pail. Often
sive slime will accumulate every day
in Il watering trough, in hot weather.
There should be hole in the bottom
of every trough, for the purpose OF
allowing the impure water to escape.
Let large cloth or swob be kept near
the trough, with which the inside may
be scrubbed out frequently. Mich
cows cannot be expressed to yield a
full supply of milk, unless they have
constant access to pure water. A good
mixer will often drink barrel of wa
ter every day during the hot weather
OF August. Soon after cows have fill
ed themselves on grass, they will be
thirsty and if they cannot have ac-
cess to water, the flow of milk will
diminish. Work horses often suffer
greatly for want of pure water, through
the Ignorance, heedlessness and lazi-
ness ofemployes. Teams are frequent
ly required to drink with the harness
on. If the surface of water is as high
as their knees, horses may find no
difficulty in drinking. But when the
water is nearly as low as their feet,
the collar viii prevent a horse from
drinking more than one OF two swal-
lows at time. Sheep will live with
out water. But they will thrive much
better when they are supplied with al
abundance. Domestic fowls and ever
the birds should not be neglected il
hot weather.

But such as remain can be saved for

consequently prevent badness. Free

The Secret Of Pocket Picking

A short time ago, says one of our
Exchanges, while our reporter was
visiting Town in the interior, he
made the acquaintance ola well-to-do
farmer, who, after making come in
quiries in regard to the growth and
prosperity of Detroit inquired if there
were any pick-pockets in the city.
The reply was of course in the affirm
alive. The farmer laughed quietly
moment, and then said:
II don't often tell my first expert
ence in seeing the lions of your city,
but am not as sensitive over it now
as used to be and I'll tell you all
about it. Some years before my ia
Their died he went to New York city
on business, and while there he pur-
chased himself gold watch. He
wore it as long as he lived, and when
he died, few years ago, it came to
me. Of course l was strongly at
tached to the watch, and not a little
proud of it, especially when I put it
in my pocket upon the occasion OF
my first visit to Detroit. I haven't
any doubt that looked at it hun
dred times day, and you will not be
at all surprised when l tell you that
I had not been in the city two hours
before it was missing, chain and all.
81 informed the clerk Of the hotel
where I was stopping ofmy loss, and
as did not remember of being jostl-
ed by any one and could give no clue
to the thief he said there was no use
in calling in an officer. He advised
me to offer large reward for the
return of the watch and add that nc
questions would be asked. I then
put such an advertisement in the pa.
pers, and during the afternoon re.
ceived note informing me that if
would be at the corner of B
and Il street that evening al
seven o'clock with the reward, $500,
my watch would be returned to me
The note also stated that I mus
come alone, and if during the day
made any attempt to inform an off
Ger the writer would not meet me
That I would be watched all the time
and the only way that I could recov
er my watch was by doing precisel,
as advertised.
/ At seven o'clock I was at the spo
indicated, and after waiting a few
moments well-dressed man in pas
sing asked me the time of day. I re
piled that it was seven o'clock. A
that he asked me to walk along will
him short distance, and as W
walked he inquired if I had brough
the 500. I replied in the afirma
tive, when he handed me my watch
received the money, and was about t.
leave me. when I stopped him, an
told him would give him $40 NOR
to tell me how he managed to pic
my pocket.
Oh! said he, placing his finger o

questions, but I would show you if
wasn't for that man standirc; nv,

VEGETABLE FLOWERS.--BOys and
gills who live in the country will find
the making ofvegctable flowers pleas
ant. To make a bouquet of these
flowers, take some white and yellow
turnips, beats, carrots, and pumpkins,
also some parts Of cabbages. Gather
from the woods MOSS, laurel leaves,
and other evergreens. Then, by the
exercise of taste, ingenuity and skill
fnl use of the penknife, really beautiful
flowers can be compiled of these. Take
a white turnip, neatly peeled, notched,
or cut down in leaf shape all around.
Fasten it on stick whitfield into the
proper shape for a stem. Surround it
with green leaves, and behold, accord
ing to your design, an exquisite white
camelia or a rose. Red roses, camelias
or dahlias can be made in the same
manner from beets, yellow flowers from
carrots and pumpkins, mossrOse buds
from turnips and beets, by cutting them
into the proper shape, and placing real
moss around them. White or red
flowers can be made from red or white
cabbages. A friend of ours, one cold
day in winter, had lovely basket OF
flowers sent to her for a tea party
There were two white japonicas; the
chill they received turned them brown,
and they fell TO pieces. She was in
despair. A cousin staying with her
unknown to her) cut two white ja-
ponicas out of white turnips, and
placed them on the real ;japonica leaves.
Her friend did not notice the basket
until near tea time; then she was de-
lighted, and exclaimed at their beauty,
and wondered how the cousin got them.
No one knew until the next day that
they were only turnips.--[0ptic's

To PRESERVE A BouoUET.-A wri-
ter in the Western Rural says: Sprin-
kle it lightly with fresh water. and put
it in vase containing soap suds.-
Each morning take the bouquet out of
the suds, and lay it sideways in clean
water; keep it there a minute or two,
then take it out and sprinkle the flow
ers lightly by the hand with water
Replace it in the suds, and it will bloom
as freshly as when first gathered. The
suds must be changed every three OF
four days. This method will keep a
bouquet bright and beautiful for at
least month. Try it.
