The Girl who Wins.

The time has passed when woman
must be pale and delicate to be inter-
esting-when she must be totally ignor-
ant of all practical knowledge to be
hich-bred-when she must know moth
ing of the current politics Of the day, or
be called masculine and strong minded.
1t is not sign of high birth or refine
ment to be sickly or ignorant. Those
who affect anything of the kind are be-
hind the times, and must shake up and
air themselves mentally aud physically,
or drop under the firm strides OF COM
mon sense ideas, and be crushed into ut
ter insignifcance. In these days an
active, rosy-faced girl, with brain quick
and clear, warm, light heart, a temper
quickly heated at intended insults OF
injury, aud just As quick to forgive
whose feet can run IS fast rs her tongue
and not put her out of breath who i.
not afraid of freckles or to breathe the
pure air of heaven, unrestrained by
the drawn curtains of . close carriage
and above all, who can speak her MIND
and give her opinion on important top
les which interest intelligent people, j
the true girl who will make good wo
man. This is the girl who wins in thes
days. Even tops and dandies, VIII
strongly oppose woman's rights, like
woman who can talk we'll, even if she
not handsome.

How to Cure Bets.

A correspondent of the Department OF
Agriculture. 1t appears from remarks
by different writers that none know OF
any certain remedy for bots. know OF
a remedy that is safe and certain, discov-
cred in the following way: About thir-
ty years ago friend lost by bots fine
horse. He took from the stomach of the
dead horse about a gill of bots and
brought them to my Office to experiment
upon. He made preparations of every
remedy he had heard of, and put some OF
them into each. Most had no effect, a
few affected them slightly, but sage tea
more than anything else; that killed
them in fifteen hours. He concluded
that he would kill them by using nitric
acid; but it had no more effect on them
than water; the third day they were as
lively as when put in. A bunch OF
tansy was growing by my Office. DC
took handful of that, bruised it, added
a little water. squeezed out the juice, and
nut some in; they we're dead in one
minute. Since then l have had it giver
to every horse have seen affected with
bots, and l have never known it to fai
of giving entire relief. My friend hae
another horse affected with bots severa
years later. He gave him the tansy il
the morning and dose of salts in thu
evening; the next morning he took W
from the excretions three half pints o
hofa

PICKED RED CABBAGE.-The purple
red cabbage is the finest. Slice them
into a seive and salt each layer, remem-
bering that too much salt will spoil the
color. Drain for three days; dry it,
add some sliced beet root and put it in a
lar. Pour boiling vinegar overit. Mace,
bruised ginger, whole pepper. horserad'
ish and cloves, boiled with vinegar, will
make a great improvement. Tie blad.
ders over the jars. In a few days open
and see if the vinegar has shrunk away;
if so. fill up with cold vinegar. Some
recommend that the vinegar be boiled
but allowed to cool before pouring over
the cabbage. A little bruised cochineal
makes this pickle a beautiful color and
is harmless. If kept very long, picked
cabbage gets soft, but is very nice espec
tally if eaten soon after it is made.

Seeds Of Fruit Trees.

As early as practical in the fall l have
my ground plowed as deep as it can be
done, and thea narrowed as fine as posi-.
BILE. 1 lay out the ground in rows fifteen
inches apart, making the rows sir inches
wide and almost two inches deep. l
then drop the seeds evenly over four
inches of the space, dropping SO that
they will almost be an inch apart.
gather a. many coal ashes as Twill need,
and use mason's screen to pass the fine
ashes through. When the men have nm
ished dropping the apple seed, l take the
fine coal ashes and then cover the ashes
with about half an inch Of sOil. Besides
the ashes acting as q fertilizer and pre-
venting the woolly aphis from doing
harm, they keep the ground in condition,
20 as not TO be affected by frost in the
spring, and thereby lifting the soil. l
have never found any trouble in this di-
rection or from the aphis by covering
with ashes. 1 plant all my seeds in the
fall-plum, apple, cherry, peach, maple,
ash, &c. do not use coal ashes on any
other than apple or cherry seeds An
application of sifted coal ashes in the
spring, after the plants are well up and
have made several sets of leaves, will
materially benefit apple seedlings.
Passing over the rows with the back Of a
rake will knock off any ashes that may
have lodged on the plants. l find fifteen
inches good width for aspace between
the rows, and also find that gaia ground
and have less space for weeds to grow.
l also find the use of digging fork bet
ter than the pillow for working the seed
lines, as less harm is done to them and
the work is more efiectusl. The advan
tages of fall planting will be obvious to
all. Nature does her planting then, and
the freezing is done in order and regular
ity. As soon as the spring opens they
begin to grow. There is no hurry to gel
the seeds in when pressed with spring
work; no detention because of late sea
son and freezing, as by the old process
Nature takes charge of them In the

the satisfaction of having him tell M

SHEEP ON A FARM.-Sheep are I'M
deryalued by the mass of laudholders, as
a means of keeping up the fertility of
soil and putting money into the pockets
of the farmers. The moment one begins
to talk of sheep husbandry, the listener
or reader begins to look for wool quota
lions, as il the wool is all that yields
profit from sheep. One might as well
look for wheat quotations alone when
there is talk about the profits Of farming.
Sheep on farm yield both wool and
mutton. They multiply with great "a
pidity. They are the best of farm scav-
engers, cleaning 3 field" Is no other
class of animals will. They give back
to the farm more in proportion to what
they take from it than any other animal
and distribute it better with view to
future fertility Of the soil. Prove this
There is no need of proof to those who
have kept sheep, and know their habits
and profits they yield. To prove it to
those who have not had the experiences
it is necessary they should try the ex
pertinent or accept the testimony Of N
experienced shepherd.-N Y Herald
