Wooden Collars.
fingers

Wooden collars are older than the dis
covery Of America, but have, neverthe-
less, never attained popularity; but cor
respondent of the Maryland Farmer makes
suggestions and gives facts, that may be
of interest to our readers. They are as
follows:
/. The present huge collar chokes the
horse in the summer, and chills him
through the lungs in winter.
2. A collar made of white Eastwood or
other light, tough wood, would never
heat, gall, or chill horse.
3. Experience has demonstrated that a
hard wooden surface, polished and kept
clean, is the safest, coolest, best and
healthiest collar ever used.
4. They will only weigh one-third as
much as ordinary collars, and unite
names and collar in one. No rough sur
faces are worked up; no sweat is absorb
ed to cook a scald; fresh air passes around
the collar, evaporating the moisture and
keeping the skin dry; the hair is not chat
ed and fretted, and the horses health is
freed from the membranes of collar
disease. AS illustrations of the superior
quality of hard, non-absorbent surface
on a horses shoulders, he presents the
following instances During the war, il
was found necessary to remove an equip
ment factory in the South, 500 miles. The
number of collars for the teams employed
was insufficient by forty, which number
was make of wood, polished, and tied on
by ropes through each end. At the end
of the tiresome journey, all the horses

RECIPES, ETC.

-Fritters-Watf1 one quart
milk, four eggs, one teaspoon soda, flour
for batter. Fry in plenty of lard, as
you would doughnuts Make Waffles in
the same way, only add melted butter,
and cook them in waffle irons.
Coffee Bread-Take two teacups of
hop yeast dough, and add two eggs well
beaten up, three tablespoons of sugar,
two of butter. Mix them we'll. Roll out
and place on buttered tin. Spread a
little butter on the top, sprinkle with
white sugar, add cinnamon. Set to rise,
and bake quite slowly.
Soft Molasses Cookies. Two cups
of moasses, one half cup of cold water,
two heaplng teaspoonfuls of soda, two
teaspoonfuls ginger, two-thirds cup Of
lard, little salt, and flour enough to roll
out. Keep in tin and they will grow
soft.
Indian Breakfast Cake.-Two eggs
we'll beaten, one quart buttermilk, two
tablespoons lard or drippings, one tea
spoon soda, one of salt, and meal enough
to make it little thicker than griddie
cakes. If handful of dried cherries or
currants are added, put into pudding bag
and boiled two hours, it makes splendid
pudding; to be eaten with sweetened
cream or sour dip.
Fish Chowder.-Fry three or four
slices of salt pork in deep kettle. When
crisp take it out and put into the kettle,
first, a layer of sliced potatoes, and then
one Of fish until all is used. Pepper it,
add one or two onions cut fine, pour in
boiling water enough to cover the whole,
and boil half an hour. Put in half a pint
of milk and cook it five minutes longer,
gently, to prevent burning The fish
should be freshly caught. The best for a
chowder is haddock.
Fruit Cake.-Take four pounds brown
sugar, four of butter, four of flour, ten
pounds currants, six pounds raisins
stoned, three pounds of citron, forty-five
eggs, leaving out the whites of twelve;
two ounces Of mace, f If ounces CHINA
mon, two ounces clor two ounces nut
meg, three gills of mo.dsses This amount
will make four milk pan loaves. Do not
remove it from the pans while warm, but
wrap it up and set aside till cool.
-Greasing Horses Feet.-A writer in
the Canada Farmer says: 81 had an excel
lent opportunity of observing the effect
of greasing the feet whilst working in a
shop where horses were shod for a large
undertaking establishment The treat
ment of the horses by the horse sheer was
the same as that of hundreds of other
horses shod at the same shop; but the
feet of the funeral horses were creased
every time they went out. to make them
nice and black; and, as the fruit of this
practice, the hoofs almost ceased grow
ing. They were exceedingly hard and
brittle. The sole was not hard and glossy,
as after pairing but of dry nature, and
in many cases could be crumbled by the
fingers"

How to Cure q Cold.

One of our citizens, who has been
troubled with severe cold on the lungs,
effected his recovery in the following
simple manner: He boiled little boneset
and hoarhound together, and drank free
ly of the tea before going to bed The
next day he took five pills, put one kind
OF plaster on his breast, another under his
arms, and still another on his back. I'm
der advice from an experienced old lady
he took all these off with an oyster knife
in the afternoon, and slapped on mus
tard paste instead. His mother put some
onion drafts on his feet and gave him
lump of tar to swallow. Then he put
some hot bricks to his feet and went to
bed. Next morning, another old lady
came in with bottle Of goose oil, and
gave him dose of it in a quill, and an
aunt arrived about the same time from
Bethel, with a bundle of sweet fern which
she made into tea, and gave him every
half hour until noon, when he took big
dose of salts. After dinner his wife, who
had seen fine old lady of great exper-
fence in doctOring, on Franklin street,
gave him two pills of her make, about the
size of an English walnut and of similar
shape, and two tablespoonfuls of home
made balsam to keep them down. Then
he took a half pint of hot rum, at the
suggestion of an old sea captain in the
next house, and steamed his legs with an
alcohol bath. At this crisis two of the
neighbors arrived, who saw at once that
his blood was out of order, and gave him
a half gallon of spearmint tea, and a big
dose of castor oil. Before going to bed
he took eight of new Kind of pill. wrap
ped about his neck atiannel soaked in hot
vinegar and salt and mad feathers burnt
on a shovel in his room. He is now
thoroughly cured and full Of gratitude
We advise our readers to cut this out and
keep it where it can be readily found
when danger threatens. -Da1lbalru Mems

The figures of the growth of Chicago

The figures of the growth of Chicago
in business and population for the first
year after the fire are given in the Fiji
teenth Annual Report of the Board of
Trade of that city. The report shows
that the population of the city is now at
least $50, 900; before the fire it was 1884,
27O. The business of 1872, in agricul-
tural products, in lumber, in ron and
coal, and the direct foreign trade, shows
a great increase over that of 1871. In
every department Of the vast industry of
that city there is an exhibit of recupera-
ton and development which is most truly
wonderful.

And, Ezra, I'd take it kindly of ysu if
you'd step in, in the morning, and tell
me how she rested"
Mr. Trip consigned the bottle to his
coat pocket, while Reuben, returning to
the deserted kitchen, which already wore
masculine air, tilted his chair against
the wall, and listened to the dirges of the
frogs, or gave expression to his feelings
by singing,
'sAs on some lonely buildings top,
The sparrow tells her moan,
Far from the tents of JOY and hope
L sit and grieve alone"
GA dreadful poor hand should be to
sit alone" commented he as he shutfied
about to fasten the windows. 'Laviny is
master woman for making things lively.
Somehow can't bear to lock her OUT"
and it is g. fact worthy of note that the
faithful Reuben, for the first time in his
married life, went to bed leaving the
porch door unbOlted.
If he had cherished vague hope that
his wife might steal home in the early
morning. he certainly saw no traces of
her ruling presence on rising. Instead,
the abomination of desolation reigned.
"Seems as if l was just a frame work,
with nothing inside" said the poor man,
moving about the chaotic kitchen in a
hushed manner, like person at funeral
the pith is all knocked out of me-"
But Notwithstanding this alarming in
ternal condition, by dint of burning three
fingers he succeeded in making lumpy
hasty pudding for breakfast, and also a
cup of coffee, which, by reason OF the
large amount of fish skin that settled it,
bore an unpleasant resemblance to chow
