Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
or FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandrulT, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
ont, as it stimulates and nourishe3
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create q new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assaycr of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and | consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

The first step 10 my practice was, to get
the steers 10 a small yard, then into the
stall, AMI teach them to stand quietly when
tied All harshCess was avoided. The
next thing was to establish confidence be-
tween myself aud the steers which was
done by patting currying, and feeding nub-
hins Of corr. Wild steers would soon learn
they were not going to be hurt. They were
then trained to be led singly; after which
two were tied together by the horns and
were led around the yard, and along the
highway, until they were as tractable as a
9, ntc horse. Then a yoke was put on
their necks, and two were allowed to run
loose for few hours every day in the yard
while wearing the yoke. A sweep was
then made by setting post in the ground,
allowing it TO extend two or three feet
above the surface and the butt end of the
mole, twenty or more feet long was placed
in horizontal position on the post, with au
iron bolt or crowhar running through the
pole to the top Of the post. The steers
we're hitched to the small end Of the pole,
with hand-sed attached, and they were
trained TO draw the driver on the sled
After few lessons on the sweep they were
prepared to draw light sleigh to the
woods, and bring home a small load OF
woods E. Told, at ~ Y. Farmer,

"IS Your Note Good p

A Boston lawyer on School street, was
called on a short time ago by boy, who
inquired it he had any waste paper TO sell
The lawyer had crisp, keen way of ask
ing questions, aud is, moreover, a methodi-
cal man. So pulling out a large drawer
he exhibited his stock of waste paper
Twill you give me twenty-five cents for
that?"
The boy looked at the paper doubtiogly
moment, and offered fifteen.
"Done," said the lawyer, and the paper
was quickly transferred to the bag by the
bow, whose eyes sparkled as he lifted the
weighty mass.

announce that he had no money.

Household Expenses VS.. Farm.

ing very good business, and making lib
eral profits on his capital invested, aud yet
his family expenses may far exceed the
profits Of his business he would not be
warranted in saying that his business did
not pay because its profits did not equal the
extravagance of his family. So farmer
may manage bis farm in such way as to
derive net income of $500 or $1,000
above all legitimate expenditures, and yet
If his family expenses should be $1,000 to
$4,000, he would run behind. Could he
Justly say that farming don't pay? Farmer
A has 100 acres of land which be manages
so well as to make a clear profit of $1,000
lie has a small, economical family, which
lives comfortably on his Just salary, and he

which he manages equally well, with simi

which all differ from the way make it
| have been acquainted with apple butter
making nearly fifty years, some twenty
years in this country and the balance in

1nly from apples, have a brass kettle
holding % gallons 10 which boil 90 gal
Ions Of sweet cider down to five gallons
which makes nice sweet syrup. This is
nut away in jars for the present. Then
nut four bushels peeled apples quartered
in a brass kettle. and boil it to a mash with
20 gallons sweet cider, without stirring,
aver a slow fire. Then take the mashed
pples out and strain them through a strain
or, and put the strained mash 10 clean tubs
md put away for next day, for the above
operations take all day. Next day start
! early aud put the strained mash in the bras
Kettle again, and the five gallons Of boileC
syrup. Then stir it with stirrer viii
NAH inch holes in it, over a slow FIRE. i
* Of great Importance not to let it gel
burned IN the kettle This boiling anC
,training takes from twelve to fifteen hour
steady work. To know when it is boiled
enough take some Of the apple butter Out
in plate and see that it does not ruu
,bout over the plate: then it is done.
The apple butter is in this way con
den.ed, and will keep for years without he
ing enclosed entirely air-tight. Before
use it on the table, add as much cream
milk, or sugar and water as there is appl,
