Grooming and Feeding Driving Horses.

In regard to the clothing of horses,
there is much diversity of opinion. 1t is,
however, absolutely necessary to cover
warmly and protect from the cold such
horses as are driven so rapidly as to cause
profuse perspiration. Horses of slow work
and coarse blood are generally furnished
with a very thick, warm coat of hair, and
readily become accustomed to endure the
cold without a blanket. A horse, how
ever, looks much better and requires less
food when blanketcd, and considering the
v~ariableness and severity of u climate,
the use of some artificial covering is, on
the whole, to be recommended.
Whenever a horse is cleaned, a careful
groom will inspect his feet to see that his
shoes are tight, that there are no project.
ing clinches to wound his fetlocks, and
that there be nothing wedged into the foot
between the heels of the shoe, or between
the shoe and the frog, which would.do in
jury to the sole of the foot. He will also
with his pick (which is simply a short
piece of iron, with a thin, pointed hook
upon one end) thoroughly clean out the
gravel and dirt lodged between the shoe
and the sole, and examine the sides and
cleft of the frog to be sure 1t Il is all right.
The feet of well-bred horses, kept con-
stantly in the stable, would become un-
naturally dry, hard and contracted, unless
some means were taken to moisten and
soften them. The best method of doing
this is to fasten into the foot by strips Of
-thin hoop-iron, pieces of thick felt cut to
fit the inside of the shoe, and cover the
entire sole. These pieces of felt Tor they
may be made of several thicknesses of
woollen cloth) are wet and laid into the
foot and the strips of iron pressed in be-
tween the shoe and the felt. Sometimes

Packing Eggs.

THERE is a mode of packing eggs by
which they may be safely carried any dis
lance, and over rough roads, without dam
age. And there is another mode by which
half of them may be very easily broken.
The secret lies in solid packing, with an
elastic material between the layers. We
have watched many barrels of eggs opened
without a single broken nj in them; and
many badly packed, which we would not
have handled had they been given to us for
nothing. The proper mode of packing,
either in barrels, boxes, OF baskets, is to
place first a layer of long hay or straw
three inches thick in the bottom. On this
scatter an inch in depth of cut hay or
straw, or chaff or oats, or whatever pack
ing is used; then place the eggs on their
sides, not touching each other, and when
the layer is complete, spread over them
and between them the cut stuff or chaff
two inches deep. Press this down gently
with a piece of board, and put another
layer of eggs, taking care that they do not
touch each other, OF the sides of the bar
rel or box; again fill up the layer of pack
ing, and press down as before. When the
barrel is full, place a layer of long hay or
straw on the top in such quantity that the
lid must be pressed down with considera-
BILE force to go into its place. The eggs
will then be solidly packed and will not
become loose, and will stand considerable
jarring without damage; but if they were
loosely packed, each little jar would cause
them to strike against each other, thereby
breaking the shells.-HsdTh and Home.

Shirt Making.

TAKE an old shirt, rip it to pieces and
cut out the new one by it, haste it together
and try it on. Don't laugh at the idea; l
know it is an old one, for l once heard a
young man say he did not know there
was any fit to a shirt" but trying it on is
theo only way a shirt can be made to fit, un-
less you have a scientific pattern cut by a
practical tailor to go by.
After you have got it to fit nicely, un-
haste it and cut out a pattern, allowing for
the seams and marking all the hens,
gathers, etc, by notches, so it will be just
right to cut your cloth by. So far your
trouble is ended. But few ladies are now
compelled to make bosoms, as they can be
bought for a trifie more than the linen
would cost, and by the way, young wives,
buy cheap bosoms; nice high priced
bosoms will not wear out the shirts, and
two cheap ones that cost about the same
will, and when starched and ironed nicely
a twenty cent bosom looks nearly as well
as one costing fifty cents. l know this by
experience, and l find that two cheap
bosoms last as long as the shirt, while one
nice one is gone, leaving the shirt good.
AS a general rule do mo- approve ofcheap
goods, but this is an exception.
Putting the bosom into the shirt is the
first thingto be done after it cut. Double
the front of the shirt in the middle, also
double the bosom and lay it upon the shirt
exactly square and even all around, then
cut out a piece n inch wider than the
bosom, and half an inch shorter. Unfold
shirt and bosom, commence at the top OF
each side and sew the bosom in place of
the piece you cut out. Then lay a plat at
the bottom and upon each side, both plaits
ofs size and large enough to make the
bosom set smooth; stitch the bottom
across, turn the bosom under and hem it
down, it being half an inch too long, hav-
ing been left so for that special purpose,
and saves sewing a tape across as some do.
The object of making a plat in the shirt
at the bottom of the bosom is to make the
front of the shirt narrow. The back you
will at ono see needs to be wider han the
front to give freedom to the arms and
shoulders; if both sides are of a width the
bosom will shrug together and set out be.

yond the vest in a manner you may have
seen but could not explain.
Line the front of the shirt the whole
length and width from the bosom back to
the arm size. Some only face a narrow
strip Just around the arm size, but the best
way by far is to line the whole back from
the neck down to the bottom of the arm
size and the front as l before said.
The quickest and easiest way to sew up
seams in shirts and all other under gar
ments is in this wise: Sew up your gar
ment or sleeve upon the right or outside,
trim the seam very small, turn and sew up
again on the wrong side and your seam is
quickly and neatly finished without fell
ing, which is a branch of sewing most
ladies dislike very much to do. The first
time sewing the seam, the stitches may be
long if the cotton is strong, but the next
time it must be done tight and well, and
you find the seam strong and soft-COr.

Economy in Selecting Carpets.

In selecting carpets for rooms much
used, it is poor economy to buy cheap
ones. Ingram carpets, of close texture,
and the three-ply carpets, are best for com
mon use. Brussels carpets do not wear
so long as the three-ply ones, because they
cannot be turned. Wilton carpets wear
badly, and Venetians are good only for
halls and stairs.
In selecting colors, avoid those in which
there are any black threads as they are
always rotten. The most tasteful carpets
are those which are made of various
shades of the same color, or of all shades
of only two colors; such as brown and
yellow, or blue and buff, OF salmon and
green, or of all shades of green, or of
brown.
In laying down carpets, it is a bad prac-
tice to put straw under them, as this makes
them wear out in spots. Straw mating
laid under carpets makes them last much
longer, as it is smooth and even, and the
dust sits through it. In buying carpets,
always get a few yards over, to allow for
waste in matching figures. In cutting car
pets, make them three or four inches
shorter thanthe room, to allow for stretch
ing. Begin to cut in the middle of fig
ure, and it will usually match better,
Many carpets match in two different ways,
and care must be taken to get the right
one. Sew a carpet on the wrong side,
with a double waxed thread, and with the
ball stitch. This is done by taking a
stitch on the breadth next TO you, point
ing the needle toward you and then tax
ing a stitch on the other breadth, pointing
the needle from you. Draw the thread
tightly, but not so as to pucker. In fitting
a breadth to the hearth, cut Sits in the
right place, and turn the piece under.
Bind the whole ofthe carpet with carpet
binding, nail with tacks, having bits of
leather under the heads. To stretch the
carpet, use a carpet-fork, which is a long
stick, ending with notched tin, like saw
teeth. This is put in the edge of the car
pet, and pushed by n person, while the
nail is driven by another.
Straw mating is best for chambers and
summer parlors. The checked, of two
colors, is not so good to wear. The best
is the cheapest in the end. When washed,
it should be done with salt water, wiping
it dry but frequent washing Injuries it.
Bind mating with cotton binding. Sew
breadths together like carpeting. In join
ing the ends of pieces, ravelou a part and
tie the threads together, turning under a
little of each piece, and then, laying the
ends close, nail them down with nails hay
ing kid under their heads.-Miss Beecher.

And home is more fully realized when
all the family are together. There is a
painful absurdity in talking of the pleas
ure of home when the children of the
house are scattered, or the parents are con-
tinually absent. A father who spends all
his time IN his shop or in his club, except
the hours of the night in which he sleeps,
or the minutes which he gives for meals,
knows nothing of the satisfaction of home.
This is n of the solecisms of American
life, that men of wealth lavish so much
upon their houses, but are in these houses
so little. The children, too, are sent
away to boarding schools or to Europe,
and three-Quarters of the great house re-
main unoccupied. OF course, in the pas
sage of life and the changes of fortune, it
is inevitable that the family circle should
be broken up. The lone widow, whose
children have gone away from her as they
married and settled in life, may speak of
her "home as the place where she has
lived so long, though now no one is with
her there. The forms of the departed are
there in her thought, and she has society
in her memories. But while the children
are yet in tender years and In leading
strings, home implies that they are tOgeth-
er in the house, and are not scattered In
foreign and uncongenial abodes. For a
good part of every weekday, for a large
part of every Sunday, the parents and chill
dren ought to be in each others close So
cie:y. 1t is more important for a man of
business to be in his home hal to provide
merely for its enlargement. The club"
is no place for one who has wife and chill
dren; it is an institution for the refuge of
grim and forlorn celibiates, and even for
them it is of doubtful value. Genuine
home-life implies a hearty love for the So
ciety in the house, which will hold this as
close and as long as the children are will
ing to remain. Home is a place for men
as much as for women, for the SONS as
much as for the daughters. And no one
has a true home when there is any place
that he loves better to be in than his home.
