or into his mouth, and push his head
right up. prefer putting the cord IN
to his mouth; then you can drench
him without trouble. Never drench
through the nose, common sense teach
es better than this, for II horse never
drinks through his nostrils.
Every man who keeps horse should
have medicines at hand for immediate
Use. Ii a horse is attacked with the
collie, give him one ounce of lauClanum,
and one ounce of ether, or spirits OF
nitre, in one pint of warm water. If
Won have none of the above named
remedies at hand, give half a pint OF
lard in one pint of warm sweet milk.
Half.a pint of flax seed oil is also II
good remedy.-Ohio Farmer
obetter plan has been devised to
keep butter sweet than to put into
clean jars and cover it over with strong
brine. No kind ofvessel. cask, or tub
will answer as well rs a.jar. In this
way butter can be kept fresh and
sweet for twelve months.
GAME HENS AND DUCKs.-There
| are few fowls more profile than game,
and where there is Il good wide range
of any kind no fowls will prove more
profitable, the black-breasted red va
riety being the best. They eat little
i'll proportion to the larger fowls and
are very good layers; but they cannot
be kept in close confinement on ac-
count of their fighting propensities.
No fancier that can tind a place in
his poultry yard suitable but should
have a few ducks. Their appetite is
such that almost any kind Of food win
food left by other fowls and grow fat
on it. In the barn yard, in the gar
dens, they Fare alike useful and
beneficial. There are three kinds
which now stand high among breeders,
A namely, the Aylesbury. which is pure
white the Rouen, which in color re-
sembles the wild Mallard, and the
Cayuga, which are pure black, except
occasional white spots OH their breast.

Use COMMON SENsE.-A little sim
pie knowledge would go great way
in making people more comfortable.
Here is a party coming home iii dis
gust on account of musauitos; and there
are thousands of stay-at-homes who
find life almost uncomfortable on any
terms for flies. If people knew it. car
bOlic acid is the sovergn remedy for
all their troubles. A few drops evap-
Grated in room or poured on the
clothes will keep the winged pests at
a safe distance and if the pure chrys-
talized acid is used no great annoyance
will result to human beings. Restau-,
rant keepers ought to know this, afasf
keep the swarIns of flies away from
their windows, where they settle and
buzz, to the torment of passers. The
bad taste of the water complained Of
by those who are trying to make its
| acquaintance may be corrected by
throwing a few scraps Of sheet iron i'll
to the water tank or cooler. This pre-
vents. the water from decomposing.
and keeps it pure and sweet. 1t will
even preserve the water from growing
unwholsome and offensive on long
voyages. People are constantly rush
ing about in the hot sun complaining
of head aches and giddiness, when all
they need for safety and comfort is a
wet handkerchief in the crown of theil
hat.
D. LACK OF APPETITE IN CHILDREN.
The Boston Journcl If Chemistr.
says that children must have an abtm
dance of outdoor exercise, fun ant
frolic. Make them regular. in thei
habits, and feed them only upon plain
!, nourishing TODD, and they will seldom
if ever, complain of lack of appetite
But keep them overtasked at school
confined close to the house the rest o
the time, frowning down every attemp
at play, feed them upon rich or high
). seasoned food, candies, nuts. ETC., al
low them 10 eat between meals ant
late in the evening, and you callilo
expect them to have good appetites
On the contrary, you may expect the.
will be pale, weak and sickly. Don
cram them with food when they don
want it, or have no appetite for it
such a course is slow murder. If the
have no appetite, encourage. and
need be. command them to. take exer
else in the open air.
CLEANLINEss.-An neat. clean. fresh
aired, sweet, cheerful, well-arlange,
house exerts moral influence over it
inmates, and makes the members of
family peaceful and considerate of eac
others feelings and Happiness. Th
connection is obvious between the stat
\. ofmind this produces, and respect I'd
Others, and for those higher duties ain
obligations which no law can enforce
On the contrary, a filthy, squalid, noS

, decencies of life are observed, contril
utes to make the inhabitants selfisl
sensual and regardless of the feeling
of others /; and the constant ;ndulsent
of such passions renders them reckles
and brutal.
