FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

as a preventive of what is called horn
ail' by a doctor, who says; Take q

Western Farmer, recommends giving one
quarter ounce of prepared chalk in her
food every morning, for few days, to
correct the acldity Of the bowels, which
causes it.
"A farmer of Maine thirteen years ago
made twenty-five bushels, out of load of
potatoes of only twenty.four, by short
measure. The fraud gained him few
cents For thirteen years these cents lay
heavily on his conscience, and now he has
returned $3.50 to his old customer, being
the original sum defrauded, with interest
at ten per cent, aseonscience money, and
he sleeps peacefully at last
--Ilbw to Choose Good Cow.-A writer
in ". w. Farmer says: The crumply horn
is good indications a full eye another.
Her head should be small and short.
Avoid the Roman nose this indicates thin
milk, and but little of it. See that she is
dished in the face-sunk between the
eyes. Notice that she is what stock men
call good handler-skin soft and loose,
like the skin on dog. Deep from the
loin to the udder, and a very slim tail. A
COW with these marks never fails to be a
good mixer.

as the hair on his feet, and in ten or fif-
teen minutes he was able to stand on his
forelegs without the assistance of the
tackle. kept up this treatment for
thirty-siX hours, when he was able to go
about and help himself. In few days l

To Cure Dogs of Killing Sheep.-If
you have good dog that kills or runs
sheep and you don't want to shoot him,
build apen sixteen feet square, and run a
pole across the top, and then pick the
largest and Oldest buck of the flock, put
him in the pen, get your dog, with collar
around his neck, and rope to draw up over
the middle ofe the pole, so that the dog
| will have his fore feet swinging off the
ground few inches. Get out of the pen
and let the buck give him several good
| butts and then turn him loose. This is @
sure cure. tried 1t on my fathers dogs

Boiled Indian Puddlng.-The follow

To Kill Gurrant Worms-I give tn
following cheap and simple remedy that
have used for three years with perfect sue
cess: Take a few Jumps of common
quick-lime, pour on it little water, jus
sufficient so that when slaked it will be
dry powder. When the worms appear
which will always be on the under part o
the bush first, pepper them with this pow
der. 1t will kill them without fail, an,
will not injure the bushes in the least |
more worms should appear, which vii
very likely be the case, repeat the opera
ton. This remedy has the merit of bein
effective, cheap, and within the reach @
all. Lime for this purpose can be pre-
pared at any time, and can be used whe
wanted.-COr. Rural Neo Yorker.
