A GENTLEMAN who stammered from
childhood almost up to manhood gives the
following very simple remedy for the
misfortune: "Go into room where you
will be quiet and alone, get book that
will interest but not excite you, and sit
down and read two hours aloud to your
self, keeping your teeth together. Do the
same thing every two or three days, or
once week if very tireseme, always TAX
ing care to read slowly and distinctly,
moving the lips but not the teeth. Then,
when conversing with others, try to speak
as slowly and distinctly as possible, and
make up your mind that you will not
stammer. Well, tried this remedy, not
having much faith in it. l must confess,
but willing to do anything to cure myself
for two hours aloud with my teeth to-
gether. The first result was to make my
tongue and jaws ache, that is while was
reading, and the next to make me feel as
though something had loosened my talk
ing apparatus, for could speak with less
difficulty Immediately. The change was
so great that everyone who knew me re-
marked it. l repeated the remedy every
five or six days for month, and then at
longer intervals until cured"
IFcows kick. tic their legs together.
find it much better for myself and for the
discipline of the cows, to let the rope hold
them than it is to try to hold them myself.
They soon learn that the rope can hold
them; they also soon learn that man can
not hold them without rope. The rope
l use is six or seven feet long, and has a
loop on one end. 1 put it around the
right leg above the gambrel, through the
loop, and draw it ight enough to Keep it
from dropping down, then behind the
left leg and take q turn once around it,
then around the front part Of both legs to
the hind part Of the right leg, then be-
tween tine legs and around the parts that
cross in front and back of the legs, in
such \ way as TO draw them as near to-
gether as desirable, then make fast. 1t
is not necessary to draw the rope tight
enough to hurt the COW if she stands
still. 1t matters not how hard or how
long she tries to get away from the rope;
it will stay there and it will hold her legs
very near to each other, and however
hard she may have pulled on the rope,
che part that is on the inside of one leg
being on with slip moose, that on the
other with round turn, as soon as she
stops struggling and the rope is slack,
the parts on the inside slack so that they
do not stop the circulation of the blood
