DIR. GEORGE SpRAGUE, the prominent |
breeder of live stock at Des Moines, Iowa, |
says that for every animal that has been |
injured by over feeding 10000 have been |
injured in their growth and for breeding |
purposes by being scantily nourished and |
insufficiently housed.
In caring for your fowls, provide them |
with q vessel of lime water for an occa- |
sional drink. 1t is prepared by pouring |
hot water over quicklime, and after the
lime is settled and the water covering it
has become clear, pour it of. 1t will
keep fit for use for a considerable time.
If girls were brought up with the idea
of some life-work before them, and not left
to cultivate the minor arts and graces to
make the conquest OF husband, they
would be all the better wives and mothers
in the end, because they would be nobler
women.

To PREVENT Grows PULLING CORN
Take, to each peck of corn wet with warm
water, one tablespoonful of gas tar; stir
until it is we'll blackened; then roll in
plaster to dry. / have tried it for years,
and never knew it to be disturbed by
anything. 1t is also a good way to

THE race of mankind would perish did
they cease to aid each other. From the
time that the mother binds the child's
head till the moment that some kind as
sistant wipes the death damp from the
brow of the dying, we cannot exist with
out mutual help. All, therefore, that
| need aid have a right to ask their fellow
mortals. No one, who holds the power
of granting it, can refuse it without guilt.
A GOOD deal has been written about
| learning to say "no," and truly there is
need that people shall know how to say
no and to stick to it. But good many
people need to learn how to say yes
promptly at the proper time. Indecision
wrecks many a career. While one man
| hesitates another shouts out his decision
and grasps the prize. Fortune is an auc-
tioneer who never waits for a sluggish
| bidder.
To CURE RINGwoRMs.-Take the best
| Cuba cigars; smoke one sufficient length
of time to accumulate onefourth or one
half inch of ashes upon the end of the
cigar. Now wet the whole surface of the
sore with the saliva from the mouth; then
rub the ashes from the end of the cigar
thoroughly into and all over the sore.
Do this three times day, and inside of a
week all will be smooth and well.-F. K.

THE restoration of the writing on man.
uscripts charred by fire may, it is said, be
accomplished by separating the charred
paper into single leaves, immersing them
in a solution of nitrate of silver forty
grains to the ounce of water). The opera
ton is to be conducted in dark ROOM
and when the writing is sufficiently legi.
BILE the excess of silver solution should be
washed out with distilled water and dilute
solution of hyposulphite of soda.-Amer

soon as your horses head is found to be

To KEEP GUM ARABIC FROM MoLDING
Solutions of gum arabic soon mold anC
sour, and finally lose their adhesive prop
erty 1t is said that sulphate of quinine
will prevent this, while it imparts no baC
disorder of its own. The addition of ;
solution of few crystals of this salt tt
gum arabic will prevent the formation oi
mold quite as effectually as carbolic acid
and by analogy it is safe to suppose tina
the same salt could be used in writing ink
mucilage, and possibly glue.
To PRESERVE BooKs.-It is not, perhaps
so generally known as it deserves to be
that few drops of any kind of perfumeC
oil will secure books and manuscript
from the deteriorating effects of mold ant
damp. The species of leather so exten
sively used by book-binders owes it
J powers to withstanding the effects o
J these destructive agents, to the tar of tn
birch tree-6etula alba. The preserving o
books, written on papyrus and parch
ment, by means of perfumed oils, wa
known to the ancients. The Roman
made use, for this purpose, of the oil o
cedar; hence, undoubtedly, the expression
of Horace, "Dignd cedrd," meaning an,
work deserving of being anointed wit
this oil.
. CoAL-TAR colors are frequently tn
cause of distressing symptoms in tn
human economy. Aniline itself is a po
son, and all colors that contain it in a.
unchanged state are consequently NOR
E or less toxic in their action. The agent
employed in the preparation of anilin
: cOlors are in many instances very delete

q of arsenic, zinc, tin, antimony, lead, tC
