CARE OF THE TEETH.-Rousseau said
that no woman with fine teeth could be
ugly. Any female mouth with good set
of teeth is kissable. The too early loss of
the first teeth has an unfavorable influence
upon the beauty and duration of the
second. The youngster should accordingly
be made to take care of them. All that is
necessary is to brush them several times a
day with little ordinary soap or magne-
STA, and water. After eating, the particles
of food should be carefully removed from
the teeth by means of tooh-pick of quill
or wood, but never of metal. Camphora-
ted or acid tooth powders are injurious,
both to the enamel and the gums, and if
employed, every particle should be re-
moved from the gums by carefully rinsing.
The habit which some ladies have of using
bit of lemon, though it may whiten the
teeth and give temporary firmness land
color to the gums, is fatal to the enamel,
as are all acids. No one, young or old,
should turn their Jaws into nut-crackers,
and it is even dangerous for women to bit
off, as they often do, the ends of the thre a.
in sewing. 1t is not safe to bring yer = bo

The Better Way to Wean Calves.

During period of Gig ,teen years our
lows, with the exception of one year, when
an attempt was made to rear four calves by
hand, which of course had ne YER learned to
suck the cows: After the calves were four
weeks old, two were allowed to suck one
COW for nearly month. VIII an the calves
wore kept in yard where there was no
grass, fresh supply was furnished them
every day from the lawns, and all the clean
water they needed was provided. After
the expiration of two months the calves
were allowed to sucl only once day for a
week, after which they were separated
from the cows before they had sucked the
udders clean. The next week they were
allowed to suck only every alternate day,
after which a strap head stall was provided
for every calf, in the nose-piece of which
there were Sc ven twenty penny nails, the
small ends of which were all ground to a
sharp point; the head-stalls were put on
the heads of the calves and they were al
lowed to 90 to the field with the cows
After the calves had made a few unsuc-
cessfull efforts to suck, they became quiet,
forgot about the supply of milk, and in
stead of being an annoyance to the neigh
borhood by their incessant lowing, as is
the case when the calves are weaned in the
usual way by separating them from their
danes, all the worrying, fretting day and
night, bawling was avoided, and the cows
gave more milk, while the calves continued
to improve in condition, rather than to lose
flesh. Many persons fail in attempting to
wean calves by employing a head-stall,
with nails in the nose piece, simply because
the nails are too short. The nails should
a-,e no smaller than we have indicated.

STABLE DRAINAGE.

Notwithstanding all that has been written
on the important subject of stable architec-
ture, there are very few stables to be
found in the country where really eff
Gent provision is made for removing and
utilizing the liquid manure that is fur
nished by horses and cattle, who pass a
great portion of their time confined in
stalls. Not only is there, in consequence,
great loss of a valuable fertilizer. but the
liquid excrement accumulates and rapidly
putrefies, giving rise to various noxious
gases, which contaminate the air, and can
not fail to prove injurious to the animals
who are compelled to breathe the poisoned
atmosphere.
In some stables we find no pretence what,
ever at drainage of any sort. In others,
perhaps, in the majority of such buildings,
drainage is attempted, but on various &C
counts is Intellectual. For example, the
floor is made of common pine plank, a soft
material, which the trampling and kicking
of horses soon wears into hollows, in which
the urine stands, a constant source of dis
comfort to the horse, and trouble to the
groom. These floors, in most cases, slope
back to a gutter in the rear. This arrange
ment compells the animal confined in the
stall to stand always up hill, and puts a
very uneasy strain on the sinews of the
legs. To relieve themselves of this strain,
we constantly find horses hanging bach
and getting as far from the manger a. )
halter will allow. Then, agar the
from shrikage, or original ca- , eithe'
fitting the planks, the joint -elessnesS IL
each side of the gutter > IN the noof Oh
as freouent,v to allie, behind, are so oper

tion of tho ION. This very large proper
connie. urine soaking through the floor
nea+: ELY saturates the ground under
N; and thus, being entirely lost to thu
-arm, accumulates and put1efies in bidder
mass of filth, enough to engender the mos
malignant forms of disease. Besides al
this, it too often happens that the iiquie
manure which does find it's way outside tn,
stable is, for want of proper arrangement
to receive and store it, allowed to flow owe
the farm yard, or is washed away by thu
first heavy shower of rain that falls. Now
this state of things, SO common OH GU
farms, is both serious waste of valuable
material, and a great detrlment to health
1t is great mistake to suppose that an.
such impurity can be other than highl,
injurious to the animals in confinement

What Lands will it Pay to Drain!

Our readers do not need to be told that
we are firm advocates of understanding
We believe that when judiciously done it
is the most profitable improvement that we
can make. At the same time, we have
narrowed down our ideas of what is Judi
cious in draining, until we have reached
the following conclusion:
1t is not judicious to spend money in
draining land that needs draining, so long
as we can use the money to good advan-
tage in the better cultivation of other good
land that does not need draining.
In other words, we believe that the true
maxim for the improving farmer is: "Be
thorough as you CO." Don't improve the
whole farm at the same time-gradually
getting the worst lands into condition to
pay half their expenses-but unless the
working capital is large one) confine
yourself to land that will pay full expenses
and profit. If field that is otherwise
the best of the farm fails to do as we'll as
it ought because it needs draining, then
drain it by all means, and when it is dry
manure it and cultivate it thoroughly, and
continue to devote to it all the manure and
care for which it will pay good profit
When it is in such good condition that
more money can not profitably be spent on
it, then take up the next best field and
improve that. If it needs draining, then
drain it; but if not, then, instead of
draining some other field, let the draining
wait, and use the money to make this land
as good as, under the circumstances, it will
pay us to make it. And SO go on-being
Thorough as you go-devoting the first
investments to the best land, and the next
best, and letting the character of the land
determine whether the investment shall be
in drains, in manure, or in labor, or in all
three of these.
1t may pay very we'll to underdrain land
at cost of $40 per acre, when the effect
will be to increase the hay crop from Il
ton to 2 tons. The ton is an addition to
a crop that we must so to the expense of
making, and if hay is worth $50 per ton it
will pay profit equal to about twenty per
cent of the cost of the drainage. But it
will not pay to spend this amount to under
drain waste land for the sake eff raising it's
produce from nothing to one ton per acre
for such crop would pay no profit.
The old saw is right in saying that he is
benefactor of the human race, not who
makes blade of grass grow where none
grew before, but who makes two blades
grow where one grew before. If the old
master had been a high farmer, he
would have given even greater praise to
him who made three blades grow where
two grew before; for the reason that in
this case the extra yield would have been
produced at less cost of labor, leaving more
labor for other productive work.
When this principle shall have been
adopted, then we shall see undertakings
much more largely resorted to. But farm
ers soon sicken of draining swamps to let
them lie waste, because it won't pay to
manure and work them at the expense of
the better parts of the farm.

Death Of Mrs. Greeley.

NEW York, Oct 3o.-Mrs. Horace Greeley died
this morning at the residence of Mr.. Alvin John.
son. During the evening of yesterday her symp-
toms were of such favorable character as to IN
spre some faint hopes OF her recovery.
Such expectations, however. proved unfounded,
she had two chills during the night, after which
she was very easy until she ceased to breathe. at
A. NJ, passing away peacefully, without any
perceptibls struggle. The funeral will take place
from DR.. Chapns Church, at u O'Clock on Fri.
day.
The maiden name of Mrs. Greeley was Mary T.
Cheney. She was o native of New York city, but
at the time Of her marriage to Mr.. Greeley In Ju-
y 1885, she was teaching school at Warrenton
North Carolina This event took place when Mr.
Greeley was in his twenty. y.sixth year. two years
after the establishment OF the Nep Yorker, and
nearly five years before the first number Of the
New York Tribune was published. Five children
have been the fruits OF the marriage but only two
both daughters-are now living, two sons and
one daughter having died in early life. Miss Ids
Greeley, the eldest daughter, is now about eigh.
teen years old, of medium height, quite handsome
and possessing the soft dark eye shapely features

ers had been induced here by Marshal Dunn in
1870; and we furnish the names of two wit
nesses, Col. Jesse Sharpe and Capt. William
Thatcher, who authorized US to referto them. Thoy
saw the men accused the Marshal with bringing
them here and he did not deny it. But said he
meant to appoint some Of them his deputy Mar.
shals. Some of these men voted in various wards
The Commercial does not deny that repeaters were
brought here but says "that any of these depu-
ties were sent anywhere with the object alleged. il
q lie." To this we say we had it from man who
came with them from Philadelphia and knew their
business, that four Of these scoundres had been
sent from here in carriages to Blackbird with the
avowed intention Of getting up rowe, and in the
melee break up the ballot boxes and thus destroy
the election.
Col. Sharpe had an interview with this man al.
so. and measures were taken which we fully BE-
lieve counteracted the villainy that was designed
to be accomplished.
That these men in their carriages were overta.
ken and passed on the road to Blackbird and that
they arrived there; and that the authorities there
were put in possession of their nefarious designs
