WHITE HAIRS ON Horses. -The white
hairs that often appear on horses from the
use or wear Of saddle or harness are very
unslghtly: A correspondent recommends
the following remedy, which is certainly a
simple one: Take piece of lard, large
enough to give the parts thorough greas-
ing rub the same with the hand until it
becomes right hot, repeating the operation
at least three OR four times, and the white
hairs will come out and the hair Of natural
color take'their place. 1 have tried this ON
several horses and never knew it to fail
Inc best time to Go it is in the Winter, be-
lore the new coat starts.

How TO CLARITY HoNEY-A good way
to clarity honey is to add two pounds of a
mixture of equal parts of honey aad water,
one drachm of carbonate of maguesia After
shaking occasionally during couple Of
hours, the residue is allowed to settle. and
the whole filtered, when beautiful clear
tiltrate Is obtained, which may be evaporated
In water bath to the proper consistency
The only drawback to this method is the
Tenth of time it takes to filter the solution
and this may be much abbreviated by taking
the same amount of white clay instead Of
magnesia, when nearly equally good arti-
Gle is obtained in much less time.
