FASHIONS IN THE KIToHEN.-Faith
Rochester, in the american Agrieultatr-
aSt, speaks strongly on the foelishness
of people wearing this sort of thing in
the kitchen. 1t is almost too absurd to
believe, and yet it is true that hundreds,
and perhaps thousands, of good, decent
American women wear about their daily
work skirts that touch the floor. They
make their calico dresses according to
the prevailing mode: with under and
overskirt, caught up" and "tied back"
when Fashion says so. When these
come to be old dresses, to be worn on
washing days, low ridiculous they are
And when they are out of style what
silly shapes they have ! Whatever def
erence to custom may be suitable on
dress occasions, all thoughtful women
must agree that for home wear no cos
tune is reasonable which interferes with
a woman's work.

REGULARITY IN FEEDING.-It is very
comfortable in cold weather to sit by a
warm fire. Many who have the care of
the stock dislike to leave warm quarters,
and cling to the fireplace, letting half
hour after half hour pass by, while the
stock are shivering and hungring for
food and water. In thus waiting for
food and water an animal loses flesh
rapidly. Brutes are the best time-keep-
ers is the world. They know the very
minute their food should be supplied,
and are disappointed if it does not come.
The stock breeder, therefore, should see
that regularity and promptness prevail
in the care and management of stock.
Their various wants should have atten-
ton at the very minute daily. If hired
men will not be prompt in taking care
of stock, if they don't sympathize with
brutes, in winter, they ought to be dis
charged and more humane men employed
in their place.

TRAINING COLTS.

One of the meanest habits of young
horses is that of lying down in the har-
ness. Some colts will lie down almost
as sooE as they have them harnessed
Sometimes blow from the whip, deliv-
cred low down along the side. quick and
sharp, will bring them up with spring.
If one or two blows do not answer, the
whip is Of no use; you will only torture
and scare your colt needlessly. The
better way is to "beat him at his own
trade" as the saying is. When he lies
down get upon his head and neck, and
make him stay there. After five or ten
minutes, he will begin to grow uneasy.
Now, there is no position which gives
man such absolute command and mas
terry over a colt as when he has his knee
on his neck and his hands griped into
the bridle-piece. Thus situated, man is
absolutely master of the situation :"
and we have often thought that it is a
very good idea to have a colt of rather
vicious temper to lie down once, in or
der that he might learn how powerless
he is in the hands of man. When a
colt gives up, the man at his head will
easily preceive it. The hot blaze and
mad glitter will leave the eye the mus
cles will relax their tension; the neck
will become limp; and the whole body,
losing its rigidity, will lie along the
earth as if it had no thought of rising,
and would never rise This is the stage
of exhaustion and submission. The
colts rampant spirit is cowed and his
pride humbled. His conceit is taken
out of him. He has been beaten by his
own weapon and knows it. He will
never trouble you again in that way

RAISE YOUR OWN COWS.

A writer in the Colonial Farmer
says: Many dairymen sell their calves,
and buy cows when wanted, but this is
not good practice, as claim that cows
can be raised cheaper than they can be
bought-that is, really good cows, which
have large flow of milk, and are
breed, or grade, valuable for beef. Dali
rymen should breed from stock that is
extra valuable for milk. Such cows are
obtained by degrees they may be grades
or pure bloods; but when obtained, it is
very unwise to sell the calves of such
COWS to the butchers, because in few
years one runs out of such good stock,
if he sells his calves, and then he is
compelled TO take cows of an inferior
grade, as frst-class COWS are seldom Of
fered for SALE 1t does not follow that
when good COWS are obtained their calves
will always make equally good mixers
but like generally produces like. and
farmers can keep up the good qualities
of their dairy stock better by raising
then by purchasing their COWS. For
milk, and also for beef, Short Horn
and Ayrshire grade, or Short Horn
grade crossed on Ayrshire COWS make
very valuable dairy stock. An old and
feeble cow should never be bred, if her
calves are to be raised. as disease is
hereditary. In regard to the points Of
a good COW, in order to perpetuate a
healthy constitution in her offspring, L

IL HATE PREACHERS. u overheard
this remark in a crowd some weeks ago.
! looked at the speaker. He was we'll

yer, the appearance of q gentleman.

saw a something about him that made
you feel that you would hesitate to trust
him. / asked q friend in an undertone,

those who labor to make men wiser and
better. He lives and fattens on the

Of such man is the best evidence that
preachers are not, as some assert, either
hypocrites or drones, that their moral
power is felt in all the haunts of sin.

TWO SORTS OF CHRISTIANS.

There are many who are very jealous,
very regular, very orthodox, amazingly
diligent in upholding the church, shock
cd at false doctrine or irregular prac-
tice; but they are bitter, intolerant, un-
loving, and even malignant. In vain
you listen for the soft answer that turn
eth away wrath in vain you look for
the sympathetic spirit that considers
the case Of others, on the charity that
suffers long and is kind. Hard to their
servants, exacting to all their dependents,
nursing hatred, and cherishing the men,
DRY of wrongs, they are as bad as the
disciples who would have called down
fire from heaven to consume the Samari-
tan village. Well for them if they hear
the Masters rebuke in this life; they
run such risk Ofhearing in awful tones
on future day-"I never knew you !;
depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
On the other hand, we sometimes find
both men and women deficient in many
ways, but rich in spirit of ministering.
We find them, perhaps, in churches of
which we do not think we'll, or in con-
nection with creed we abhor. Let us
not for such reasons think little of their
spirit, but rather magnify the grace of
Him who makes the flower to bloom in
the desert and the birch and pine tree
to spring from cleft of the naked rock.
And for ourselves, surely, the rich les
son must be-if the desert on the rock
can show such fruitful plants, how much
richer fruit should be found on those in
reference to whom God asks" What
could have been done to my vineyard,
that | have not done in it."-.SermonS

Be careful of lights in the barns and
stables. Safe lanterns only should be
used. Only perfectly safe oil should be
used. With these oils if lamp should
fall, there can be no fire if it is picked
up again Immediately. Ventilate the
cellars whenever the weather is sufficient
ly mild. A tub of water placed in the
cellar on very cold nights, will protect
fruit or vegetables from freezing. Clean
up all machines and tools and oil them,
coat the bright part with tallOw. and
cover them to keep out dust and dirt.
Keep the shoes of horses and oxen sharp
ened or roughened, and do not attempt
