| Peach Tree Borers.-Put a hill of
soft soil to the tree in early spring, and re
move 1t in the latter part of winter, rub
| Dlng OH the young worms at the same
! llme. Ii the tree IS clear at first, this will
keep it So
| Lemon for Cough--ROast the lemon
| very carefully without burning it; when
| IL Is hot, cut and squeeze into a cup upon
| 1nree ounces OF sugar, finely powdered
! lake a spoonful whenever your cough
troubles you. 1t is good and agreeable to
| the taste. Rarely has it been known to
fail of giving relief.
Cabbage Worms-Put ten cents
worth OF copperas into IA sprinkling pot ;
put on warm water; let it stand till cold
and sprinkle the cabbage at night before
the dew falls. This will do for 100 or $50
heads. Sprinkle the same as YOU would
floor to lay the dust. The dew at night
Will wash off the sprinkling water.
Sprinkle the cabbages twice or three times
| week. Mr.. Soudard raised IA hundred
| IN this way last year, and have eaten
some OF his cabbage, which are nice.
"A good OK should have a long, lean
face and bright hazel eyes, which show
capability to receive instruction, and dis
position to obey it. Large nostrils denote
the capability of the OK to work on a hot
day. Very large horns at the base denote
laziness. Full breast, straight back, wide
ribs-by which is meants the ribs that
round out nearly as wide as the hip bones
and wide gambrls are evidence of
strength. Straight knees broad toes,
pointing straight forward, show an OK can
travel on hard road or pavement They
should be well matched, especially in dis
position and speed.
The HOusehoLd Gujde says: Not only
is it true that meat is twice as nice if nice
ly divided, but also a joint properly cary
ed will 90 nearly twice as far another
of similar size and weight clumsily cut
up; and every careful housewife and true
economist will do her best to master the
art OF carving as soon as possible. Not
only will she be taking the best means to
avoid waste, but she will also get the
credit of keeping a well-provided table;
for even where there is but little to serve
if it is well-cooked, wcll-carved, we'll
served, and neatly put on the table, Il sin
gle dish is preferable to a profilsion i'll
prepared. Even in so small a matter as
cutting a slice of bread, loaf always cut
straight and even goes much further than
one hacked and heWn irrcguarv, or in
all directions and it is palatable to the
last piece, so that there is no excuse for
leaving odds and ends.
Mildly Morgan gives an excellent recipe
for accelerating the growth Of hair on the
names ard tails Of horses She SAYS:
Take corrosive sublimate (hyd. bichloridc)
oXymuriate of mercury each four grains in
one ounce Of distilled water Wash the
parts where the hair is thin with warm
water and soap, then rub with linen
cloth, and Immediately after rub in some
of the above liniment. If the hair has
been rubbed off by the animals own en-
deavors to allay cutancOus irritation, then
dress with the following ointment: One
ounce of fine flour sulphur, one ounce of
pulveriZed saltpeter, made into a soft oint-
ment with fresh butter, or tresh-rendcred
hogs lard; rub in at night and wash out
in the morning with warm water and
soap; repeat three or four times If the
hair is scant from natural debility of the
capillary organs, then simply use cold wa
ter applied with soft sponge: avoid all
combing Or brushing, and clean the name
and tail as the Arabs do, with a coarse
flannel rubber
