How John SmithsOn Got a Dinner UI
der False PretenSes.

AT the window of trim little villa, in
a neat little suburb-one of those tiny
gems of houses, with which the great sub
urban ring enclosing London is so thickly
studded-a villa overhung by laburnums,
and shaded by lilacs, with garden at the
back as big as drawing-room table, and
a lawn in front nearly as large; at the
parlor window of this little Arcadia, gaz-
ing wistfully over the trim little grass
plot, there sat the other morning as trim
little figure as ever newly made Benedict
would wish to call his own.
How pretty she was in her morning
dress, with her fair hair, and her blue
eyes, and her white fingers! And to any
one there to see it, there was a new look
about the broad gold ring on her left
hand, and something in the way she
fidgeted it with her fingers, which showed
a certain strangeness in its presence there,
and betrayed unmistakably-theb bride
And so she was. She had been married
three months; and, if the truth must be
told, she was tired of it already
Breakfast was over and done. Johns
armchair (empty) stood by the fire place.
Johns breakfast cup (empty also) stood
on the table. And John himself was
gone to the city, there to remain all the
long dull day.
cit is so dull" said the little matron to
herself: cit is so dull. John won't come
home to dinner to-day again, l dare say
Cts only cold meat if he does); and shall
be by myself. all the evening. 1t is so
Four hours later there was a knock at
] the door OF the trim little villa.

country has more or less influence upon
stock. The heavy, short-legged breeds
not being suitable for hilly, rocky locali-
ties, they are neither the best nor the
most economical for such places, although
they might be for localities of an opposite
character
Again, in selecting the best stock, a
man should not only know something of
its adaptation to his locality, but also de-
eide in advance for what purpose it is to
be kept. If COWS are to be kept for their
milk alone, then a breed should be Sc
lected that is known to excel in this
particular, but if stock is to be used for
both dairy and beef, then a mixed breed
might be preferable. In sheep husbandry,
similar principles control profits. The
finest-wool breeds are not, as rule, the
best for mutton, therefore it would de-
pend somewhat upon locality and mar
kets in selecting the best.
Fast trotters are not the best horses for
farm or heavy work on the road, al
though the tendency at the present time
is to produce those possessing great
speed, even at the expense of other and
far more valuable qualities.
The best of anything is that which is
the most useful, durable, and yields the
greatest profit on the money invested in
purchase and cost in keeping. Always
purchase the best, but be sure that it is
what you want and adapted to your sur.
roundings and circumstauces.-Ne Y0rk

Treatment of Distemper.

The treatment of q common case of
dis;emper is very simple, and requires in
ternal medicines only, when the fever is
high, the mucous membrane much red
dened, and the respiration difficult. In
all other cases, but especially as soon as
the cough has become loose and easy,
the discharge from the nostrils thick, and
the assesses have been opened, merely
hygienic and dietetical treatment is quite
sufficient. Respecting these, we have to
avoid any exposure of the patient to wet
and cold, have to keep, as much as pos
sible, q uniform temperature in the stable,
and to give easily digestible food, such
as bran mashes, malt, boiled oats, carrots,
and if it can be had, young grass and
other green provender.
If there is considerable swelling beneath
the jaw, or in the throat, the horse should
not be allowed to eat from the ground;
consequently he should not be kept in the
pasture, for that most likely will increase
the swelling. Food and water-the latter
in cold season little warmed-must be
put into the manger, within easy reach OF
the animal. The application of a good
fly blister OF the swelling beneath the
Jaw, that is, beneath the two branches oi
the lower jaw bone, hastens considerably
the ripening of the assesses, which
should be lanced at their lowest point
and, if possible, near the center, as soor
as the presence of matter can be detected
Steam baths, and all that kind of non
sense, incommode the patient, and do 8
great deal more harm than they can Dc
good.
If internal medicines are required, &
dose of two scruples tartar emetic, two
drachms sal ammoniac, with little
licorice root powder and marshmallow
root powder, mixed with a little water
and made into pills, may be given to {
full-grown horse three times a day til
the respiration has become less difficult
the cough easier, and the discharge from

Mango IN Hogs.

ONE of our subscribers in Virginia, s.
B. H, writes us to know whether "wheat
straw will produce mango in hogs, or
whether any other straw willl" We reply
that mango is produced in hogs by the
presence of a species of acari, which bur-
row under the skin in certain parts of the
body, and finally, by rubbing and scratch
ing, produce scab or running sores. Such
a condition is fatal, of course, to thrift,
and assumes a very contagious form.
These insects are not produced by wheat
or any other kind of straw, but result
something like itch in the human subject,
filthiness and bad accommodations, heat
of contact by having too many hogs to-
gether, etc. The cure is cleanliness.
Apartments should be changed at once for
few weeks, and thoroughly whitewash-
ed. The animal Selecting, of course,
moderate weather) should be first
thoroughly scrubbed with warm watel
and soap, and solution of carbolic acid
applied to the parts affected, especially
behind the ears, under the thighs, and in
side the fore legs. Wheat straw, if used
for litter, should be changed frequently
Some farmers have an idea that oat straw
| litter produces mango; but the only reason
why it should be more favorable to mango
than wheat straw is that it is softer, and
of course packs more closely, and become:
solid, requiring more frequent changing
| Pigs should occasionally have charcoal
This corrects acidity, which hog food
mixed up as it is with little of every
thing, often produces. Mango usual,
attacks unthrifty animals.-FdTmers

Always Get the Best.

THE aim of every man and woman
should be to get the very best of every
thing. But the question will often arise,
(Which is the best?" and that which is
best for one person or locality may not
be the best for another. Probably in no
occupation does this question of buying
the best so often come up for considera-
ton as with the farmer. If it is a moving
machine that he wishes to purchase, the
scores of different patterns offered only
confuse instead of aiding him to decide
upon one, and if he asks for information
of his neighbors the chances are that each
will recommend different machine, for
there are many first-rate ones in the
market, and even the best judges are not
always competent to tell wherein certain
favorite is superior to another. There is,
however a great difference in moving
machines Some require more power to
run them than others, while some are
more durable, better made, and not so
liable to get out of order, and all of these
points should be and must be understood
by the purchaser who desires to obtain
the very best.
Then there are other things to be taken
into account in buying an implement,
such as the land upon which it is to be
used, whether stony, light or heavy, Level

be the very poorest for the other. Steel
plows or cast-iron, light, thin hoes or
heavy ones, all must depend upon the
kind of soil in which they are to be used.
A grub-hoe is a good thing in its place,
but not for hoeing corn where there are
neither sods, scrubs, nor stone. Where
the soil is light and free from roots, stone,
and other obstacles to easy culture, light
steel implements are the most economical,
but in soils of an opposite character heav-
ier implements must be employed. 1t is
to these widely different conditions and
circumstances that we must attribute the
widely different opinions expressed in re-
gard to the value of many of the really
good implements in use, and the man
who is unacquainted with any of them
needs to take all this into consideration
when he undertakes to get the best for
himself The most expensive implement
may not be the best for you, but it might
be for your neighbor.
The same principle holds good in all
branches of agriculture and farm econ
omv. The stock best adapted to one
locality may not be equally valuable In
another, for experience has taught us that

however, one exception to this rule. No
body can 'get over the bay" on VINEGAR

Japanese Women.

The Japanese women are not pretty;
but they have charming natural manners,
with beautifully-shaped arms and tiny
hands. The young women are all as re-
markable for their superb white teeth as
the married ones are for their hideous
black ones. This custom originated some
two or three hundred years ago, and is
supposed to show the wife's devotion to
her husband. One of the Mikado's wives
$50 goes the legend) was very lovely, and
to show her Indifference to her personal
appearance, and to prove her love for her
husband, blackened her beautiful teeth
and shaved off her eyebrows. This was
considered such sacrifice, that all living
wives (not to be outdone by Mrs. Mikado)
followed her example. The custom has
become compulsory.
Whether the married women ike thus
to blacken their teeth or not, is disputed
among foreign residents here. The men
compel them, however, to do it, whether
they like it or lot, for it is the great sign
by which man cOnsecrates and shows
off his female chattel to the world. Who
ever has blackened teeth is not to be
touched by other men, on pain of death.
The eyebrows of married women, may
as well add here, are shaved, and their
lips rouged. Needs there, then, this pen
atty of death?
A merchant, who seems to be rich in
the good things of the world, has jus5 let

in the room. In this box there were five
drawers, and two lacquer basins on top.
In the top drawer of this box there was a

In the second drawer she kept her pow
