COmmOn-Sense in Flowing.

TEAMS drawing loads on the roads get
a breathing spell on the descending
ground, while in blowing the draft is the
same from morning till night There is a
certain number of pounds that team can
draw day after day and not worry them,
but if more he added, even as little as fif-
teen or twenty pounds, they walk INSTEAD
feeding will keep them in condition. have
many plows in use on which it has been
an easy matter to decrease the draft TWEEN
ty-tive pounds, and if men had been draw
ing them instead of horses it would have
been done. 1t must be plain to the farmer
that every pound taken off from the draft
OFT his pillow is so much gained for his
horses. 1t may be done in this way:
For any soil except sand or gravel, use a
steel pillow. Their cost is but little more,
and the draft enough less topay the differ
ence in blowing twenty acres. In blowing
sod the Golfer does good deal of the
work and should be kept sharp by forging
at the blacksmith's and grinding every
day if necessary. Of course it will wear
out sooner, but new Golfers are cheaper
than new teams. Set the Golfer in line
with the pillow, the edge square in front,
with an angle of forty five degrees from
the point to where it is attached to the
beam. When the share gets worn out it
is poor economy to use it any longer, but
! replace 1t with a new one. Let the traces
be as short as will allow the horses to
walk without hitting their heels AGAINST
the whitf1euees, and have just pressure
enough of the wheels on the ground to
make the pillow run steady. If the handles
crowd continually one way, the draft is
not right and, if the pillow is good one,
it can be easily remedied at the clevis. To
prevent the horses stepping over the traces
IN turning, fasten weight of about three
1ourths OF a pound on the outside of each
Nslngletree-that is, on the right end when
you turn to the left, and rice gersa Every
observing farmer knows that horses are
susceptible to kindness and EQUALLY so tC
unkindness. | have seen horses shat were
working steadily made reckless with
sweat, in short time, by sharp word OF
a jerk on the bit. Let your horses do

THE Journal Of CHEMISTRY points out g
grave error in measuring the feet of women
for boots. 1t says: kid gloves, though
worn continually, never cause bunions,
since the kid stretches to the hands; but
in the manufacture Of boots, especially
ladies' boots, unyiclding canvas is used to
line them, SO that the leather is prevented
from stretching and showing the srue shape
and size of the foot The foot enlarges
when bearing the weight of the body, and
also toward evening; hence a boot thus
made from measure taken when the foot
is suspended in the air, and in the morn
ing, is too small for the foot in the even
ing Women's feet are generally meas
ured in the air, but mems when they are
standing on them. The high heels in
ladies' boots, too, cause them to be always
walking down hill, however level the path
may be, thus driving the foot more and
mere to the front"

Eggs as a Diet.

WOULD it not be wise to substitute more
eggs for meat in our daily diet? About
third of the weight of an egg is solid
nutriment. This is more than can be
said of meat. There are no bones or
tough pieces that have to be laid aside. A
good egg is made up of 10 parts shell, so
parts white and 30 parts yelk. The white
of an egg contains Sc per cent. water, the
yelk of an egg 80 per cent. The average
of an egg is about two ounces. Practical
ly the egg is animal food, and yet there is
none of the disagreeable work Of the
butcher necessary to obtain 1t. The vege-
tarians of England use eggs freely, and
MANY Of these men are eighty and ninety
years old, and have been remarkably free
from illness. Eggs are best when cooked
four minutes This takes away the ami
NAL taste that is offensive to some, but
does not so harden the white or yelk as to
make them hard to digest. An egg if
cooked very hard is difficult of digestion,
except by those with stout stomachs; such
eggs should be eaten with bread and mas
ticated very finely. An egg spread on
toast is food fit for king, if kings de-
serve any better food than anybody else,
which is doubtful. Fried eggs are less
wholesome than boiled ones. An egg
dropped into hot water is not only clean
and handsome but delicious morsel.
Most people spoil the taste of their eggs
by adding pepper and salt. A little sweet
butter is the best dressing. Eggs contain
much phosphorus, which is supposed to
be useful to those who use their brains
much.-POultTy Re0iea0.

A MALE convict at Cayenne obtained
permission to marry a female convict; but
as the man was a widower the Governor
declared it was necessary first to obtain
the certificate of the death of his first wife
A communication was addressed to the
authorities but without any reply. The
convict insisting that the ceremony should
no longer be delayed, the Governor said
But what is there to prove that your first
wife is deads" The reply of the convict
was tolerably satisfactory on this point:
"Why," he said, I'm here for having
assassinated her"

How to Know the Age of a Horse.

THE colt is born with twelve grinders.
When four front teeth have made their ap-
pearance the colt is twelve days old and
when the next four come forth it is four
weeks old. When the corner teeth appear
the colt is eight months Old and when
the latter have attained the height of the
front teeth it is one year old.
The two-years colt has the kernel-the
dark substance in the middle of the tooth's
crown-ground out of all the front teeth.
In the third year the middle front teeth
are being shifted, and when three years
old these are substituted for the horse
teeth. The next four teeth are shifted in
the fourth year and the corner teeth in the
fifth.
At six years the kernel is worn out of
the middle front teeth, and the bride
teeth have attained their full growth.
At seven years hook has been formed
on the corner teeth of the upper jaw; the
kernel of the teeth next to the middle
fronts is worn out, and the bridle-teeth
begin to wear off.
At eight years of age the kernel is worn
out of all the lower front teeth, and be-
gins to decrease in the middle upper
front.
In the ninth year the kernel has wholly
disappeared from the upper middle front
teeth The hook on the corner teeth has
increased in size as the bridle-teeth lose
their points.
In the tenth year the kernel has worn
out of the teeth next to the middle fronts
of the upper jaw; and in the eleventh
year the kernel has entirely vanished from
the corner teeth of the same jaw.
At twelve years old the crowns of all
the front teeth in the lower jaw have be-
come triangular, and the bridle-teeth are
much worn down As the horse advances
in age the gums shrink away from the
teeth, which consequently receive long,
narrow appearance, and their kernels have
metamorphosed into darkish point, gray
hairs increased in the forehead, over the
chin assumes the shape OF an eagle

Destroying Weeds.

july and August are probably the best
months in the year for destroying weeds.
The summer heats are at their fiercest and
all annual weeds cut down at the root
speedily wither and die. The tougher
perennials have made their growth for the
season and have nearly perfected their
seed. The root then has least vitality,
and if the top be cut off feebler effort is
made TO produce it, especially if the weeds
grow in a tough sod of grass We have
known frequent mowings of thistles in sod
to reduce the vitality of the patch so much
that it would produce only here and there
a stalk until the field was again plowed.
In the growing corn August is, of all
months, the time to destroy Canada this
ties and quack. Keep the plant down as
much as possible early in the season, then,
as the corn begins to tassel out, go through
with a light hoe and cut out every spear
of thistle and pull up every blade of quack
with all the root that can be got attached.
The quack should be put in heaps and
burned, but the thistle roots will seldom if

season Of the year, or even cutting off, is
final and certain destruction. The cost of
doing this is not large, varying with price
Of labor and abundance of weeds; but we
are satisfied that it is always profitable

We have repeatedly had the cost more
than repaid not only in the corn crop but
in the succeeding oats and barley, besides
leaving the land cleaner for years there
after.-RurdE Neao Yorker
