Asefnl aud Curious.
Ts q CsIa.P..se Lady.

Madam, allow me to prescribe for you. have
had a long experience in the management Of de-
licate women, and believe can give you some
important advice. For the present prescribe
only for your feet.
l. Procure quantity of wooden stockings
not such as You buy at the stores under the name
of lambs wool, that you can read a newspaper
through, but the kind that your Aunt Jerusha
in the country kints for you, thick a board,
that will keep your feet dry and warm, in spite
of wind and weather.
2. If you want to be really Thorough, change
them every morning, hanging the fresh ones
near the fire during the night.
3. Procure thick calfskin boots, double uPpers
and triple sOles, and wear them frum the first of
October till the first of May. Make frequent
applications Of some good oil backing.
4. Avoid rubbers altogether, except a pair of
large rubber boots, which may be worn for a
little time through snow drifts flood of WA
ter.
S. Hold the bottoms of your feet in cold water
half an inch doep, just before going TO bed, two
or three minutes, and then rub them hard with
rough towels and your naked hands.
6. Now, madam, 60 ont freely in all weathers,
and, believe me, not only will your feet enjoy
good circulation, but, as a consequence of the
good circulation in the lower extremities, your
head will be relieved of all its fnllncss and your
heart of its Falpitatons. Your complexion will
be greatly improved, and your health made bet
ter in every respect.

Fi1 the Garden fer WIn,er,

Go through the whole country at this season,
and you will find Dinety-nine gardens ont of
every hundred the most unsightly spots on the
farm and about the village dwellings, and so
they will be all through the winter Here are
standing mutilated stalks of plants-too many of
them weed stalks-there is a mess of potato
vines, literally "lying around loose" Here are
cabbage-leaves, corn STUBS onon-tops, etc. there
ging beets, carrots, and other roots Only deep
snow will cover the garbage, and gives a plea
SAINT look to the spot which was attractive du-
ring the recent growing season. In the spring
all this trash will be gathered, and the ground
leveled and raked, aud the gardens will look
cheerful again, though not plant or leaf has yet
appeared.
But why not do the "clesnIns-up" no,r! 1t
will take no more time than in the spring, and
how much better the garden will appear all
through the cheerless winter Just try the ef-
feet of gathering the rubbish and putting it in
a heap in an out of the way corner; OF laying it
evenly over strawberry or asparagus plots; rake
off the surface of the beds smooth and level nm
less you ridge the ground, rs recommended else
where; fix up the walks and alleys little, and
leave the whole with the appearance of having
been recently prepared and planted. few
hours work of this kind, done now, will save so
much time in the spring; the ground will dry
out earlier than if partially covered up with
leaves and rubbish; and the cultivated look will,
even in winter continually afford kind of plea
sure, similar to that experienced when one has
finished making garden in the spring, and look
ing for the coming crops.-4merican -igricRitu-

for the farmer.



Every one in the East by this time knows that
q sugar is obtained from the sugar maple. This
tree abounds in the Eastern States. As soon as
the sap begins to move, in the spring, holes are
bored into the trees, wooden spgots inserted,
and the sap flows ont into the little buckets pro-
vided for the purpose. This sRp is then snbjee-
ted to evaporation, and the sediment becomes
maple sngsr.
In the West, the common silver maple of our
Eastern cities has been experimental with and
found to yield tolerably good article. Another
maple, the oox elder, or negundo, as 1t IS called
also yields considerable. As these two naples
grow very rapidly, they are often planted rs much
for sugs making purposes as for the timber they
yield or the shelter from the keen prairie winds
which they afford.
1t has been found, however, that sugar-produ-
cling trees are not confined to the naples. The
poplars yield article little inferior to the tre
sugar maple of the East; and the annual product
made by the settlers in the cottOn-waod districts
OF the West is by no means incOnsiderable.
The cottonwood poplar is one Of the best
friends to the far Western settler. In many dis
trcts there is no timber except along the river
banks and water courses, and it is then often
confined solely to the cottonwood. 1t forms his
frewood, his fencs-posts, and his cattle-corrals;
and now il appears, as well as boiling his coffee,
il furnishes the sweetening to make it palatable.
Although found naturally in damp places, it
seems to grow as naturally on dry land; and it is
used for shelter belts on farms and street trees
for the towns. 1t grows with immense rapidity.
The writer has seen branches which have made
ten feet in length in a single seasnn; while some
stumps of trees cnt down have indicated by their
annual rings q diameter of two feet in tweRty
years. The timber Is soft and not very enduring;
but, take it all in all, the cottonwood. to the
Western. man, is by no means despiscd blessing.

How many people are there who really know
how to make mustard plasterf Not one in a
hundred, at the most, perhaps and yet mustard
plaSters are used iu every family, and physicians
prescribe their application, never telling any
body how to make them for the simple reason
that the doctors themselves do not know, as a
rule. The ordinary way is to mix the mustard
with water, tempering it with little -four but
such plaster as that makes it simply abomina-
BILE. Before it has half done its work it begins
TO blister the patient, and leaves him finally with
a painful, tayed spot, after having produced far
less effect in beneficial way than was intended.
Now mustard plaster should nerer make blister
at all If. blister is wanted, there are other
plasters far better than mustard for the purpose
When you make a mustard plaster, then,
water whatever, but mix the mustard with the
white of an egg, and the result will be plaster
which will "draw" perfectly, but will not pro-
duce blister even upon the skin of all infant,
no matter how long it is allowed to remain upon
the part. For this we have the word of an old
and eminent physician, well as our own e1-
pcrience.-Hedrth and Home.

HINTS FOR COLD WgATHER.-In feeding farm
animals, remember that when you place food be-
fore animal, it is eaten for three purposes: to
give muscular strength, to supply heat, to make
fat or butter. The more cow consumes to sup
ply muscular waste, the less goes TO milk. The
more she needs to keep herself warm, the less
she can yield of milk or of flesh. Coarse, rough
food, as swamp hay, butts of corn-stalks, and
straw, yield some starch or carbon. This is the
reason why an animal in an open shed will eat
trash which it would reject in warm stable.
Yet there is nothing gained by starving them to
rough fodder Good shelter would be cheaper.
The richer the food in albumen, the more vigor
and muscle it will make. The farmer gains more
by few high-fed animals than frsm much half
starved i'll l-boused stock

An Old yoke in . New Dress.

An old Lawyer of the city of New York tells q
good joke about one of his clients: "A fellow had
been arraigned before the police for stealing Q
set OF silver spoons. The stolen articles were
found upon the culprit, and there was no use in
attempting to deny the charge. Lawyer c.
was APPLIED to by the prisoner as counsel and
seeing no escape for bis client, except on the
plea of insanity or idiOcy, be instructed the fel.
low to put on silly look as possible, and
" hen any question was put to him, to utter in 4
drawing manDer, with idiotic expression, the
word spoons Ii successful, the fee was to be
twenty dollars. The court proceeded to business;
the charge was read, and the question put to the
prisoner: Guilty, or not guiltyr"
"SpOonsT calculated the culprit.
"The court put several questions to him, but
spoons spoonsr WAS all the answer it could
elicit.
The fellows a fool" said the Judge; stlet him

The prisoner left the room, and the lawyer fol-
lowed close in his wake, and when they had got
into the hall the counsellor tapt his client on the
shoulder saying:
"Now, my good fellow, that twenty dollarsn

Nearly all sick animals become so by impro-
per eating in the first place. Nine cases ont of
ten, the digestion is wrong. Charcoal is the
most rapid and efficient corrective. 1t will cure
in a majority of cases if administered. An ex-
ample of its use:
The hired man came in with the intelligence
that one of the finest cows was sick, and kind
neighbor proposed the usual drugs and poisons.
The owner being i'll and not able to examine the
COW, concluded the trouble came from overeat-
ting, and ordered teacup of pulverized charcoal
to be given in water.
It was mixed, placed in junk bottle, the head
held upwaId and water poured downward. In
Ave minutes the improvement was visible and
in few hours the animal was in the pasture
quietly eating grass. Another instance of eqnai
snecsss occurred with n ynnnG hrifrr which lc-
came badly blonted by eating green apples after
q hard wind. The bloat was so severe that the
sides were almost as hard as barrel. The re-
medy, saleratus, was tried for the purpose of
correcting the acidity. But the attempt to put
it down always caused coughing, and il did lit
tie good. Half a tablespoonful of powdered
charcoal was next given. In six hours all ap-
pearance of bloat had gone and the heifer was

To CLEAN LOOKING GLAssEs.-Wash thorough
ly piece of soft sponge, and remove all gritty
particles from it; dip it lightly into water,
squeeze it out again, and then dip it into some
spirits of wine; rub it over the glass, dust it
with some powdered blue or whiting sifted
through muslin; remove it lightly and quickly
with clean cloth, and finish with a silk hand
kerchief. If the glass be large one, clean one
dry before it can be removed. If the frames are
gilt, the greatest care must be taken to prevent
the spirits of wine from touching them. To
clean such frames rub them well with little dry
cotton wool; this will remove all dust aud dirt
without injury to the gliding. If the frames are
vanished, they may be rubbed with the spirits
of wine. which will take out all the spots and
give the vRrnish a superior polish.
