SADDLE GALLs.-To prevent saddle
gals, the saddle should be lined with
some smooth hard substance. Flannel
or wOOlen cloth is bad. \ hard finished.
smooth rawhide lining, similar to those
Of the military saddles, is preferable.
Then, if the saddle is properly fitted to
the horses back, there will be no gals
unless the horse is very hardly used.
Gall should be washed with soap and
water, and then with a solution of six
grains of copperas, or blue vitriol, to
one tablespoonful of water, which will
harden the surface and help to restore
the growth of the skin. White hairs
growing upon healed gall spots cannot
be eprevented.

SUNDRY MATTERs.-A safe lantern
should be procured for the stable and
barn. If kerosene oil is used, only those
kinds that are known to be safe should
be purchased. The small extra cost is
nothing as compared with safety from
accident. No farmer can afford to 90
uninsured. Choose well known, safe
company in which to insure. Painting
can be done better and cheaper now
than at any other time; there are no
dust or flies TO spoil the paint. Leaves
should be gathered for bedding; there
is nothing safer in the brood-sow's pen.
stones and stumps may be cleared Off,
cellars banked up, cleaned, and white
washed, and every implement cleaned

Sermon By BOri.-A city boy by the
name of Ferdinand, whose parents
were very rich, took long walk into
the country. Becoming little weary,
he stopped at farmhouse and bought
large bowl of bread and milk, lie
took it under a shady tree and sat
down to enjoy the luxury, 1t was so
good. But a little way Off stood poor
boy who also wandered out of the city.
He was thin and pale, and he looked
hungry but he had no money, Ferdi-
nand knew right well. At one mo-
ment he thought of dividing his bread
and milk with the poor boy. as the
thought came that it would taste even
better than to him. But he smothered
his generous impulse, and ate the
whole. On its being emptied he saw
at the bottom of the bowl a picture in
blue which he began studying a little.
just around the picture were some
printed words. He read. he blushed,
and then, as if suddenly struck with a
thought, he fastened again to the
house, ordered the bowl filed, and
went back to the poor boy, to whom he
gave it, and told him to eat it while
resting by the roadside.
Now for the sermon that proved so
effective in its work:
''He deserves to suffer hunger who
refuses to share with the poor"

To CURE PIMPLEs.-Take a teaspoon

To CLEAN FINE GLAss.-This mode of
cleaning fine glass gives 1t great bril-

dip into it moistened linen rag, smear
over the glass with it, and then wipe it
of with a perfectly dry cloth. As a
substitute for this, fine sifted ashes, ap-
piled by a rag dipped in spirits, will
answer just as well. Spanish white

MICE AND RABBITS. = After snow
storms tramp the snow firmly around
the trunks, 10 keep away mice. A strip
of tarred paper, foot or more wide,
tied around the base, will prevent both
rabbits and mice from gnawing. Blood
sprinkled upon the trunks is the best to
keep of rabbits on a large scale. Trap
or shoot'all rabbits found in the orchards
or garden, as they destroy shrubs as
well as trees.

An ErGuimaur House. or Hut.-One
would think that, cold and dreadful as
the Arctic regions are known to be, the
inhabitants would need every comfort
that could be imagined in the way of a
house. But no. The first thing the
Esduimaux does in his home building
is to clear away the snow and ice from
a spot of the right size of his house.
This he makes as smooth as he can,
leaving one end little higher than the
other. The higher end is to serve as
parlor and bedroom, the lower as
Workshop and kitchen Around this
cleared spot of earth blocks of hard
frozen snow are laid in such a fashion
that they form low round roof, re-
sembling in shape the form of hollow
ball. By way OF a window, a small
square of rather thin and clear ice is
set into the wall.
On the side of the house least ex-
posed to the wiRd Is "a long and very
low pasSage-way leading to the open
air. This passage is so low that the
inmates of the house have to crawl
through it on their hands and knees.
The door is only loose block of snow.
These huts do not appear To be very
charming residences, but there are two
good things about them. One is, that
the high winds of that desolate region
cannot possibly blow a hut over, though
they can bury it in the snow; the other
good thing is that no one can be lived
in longer than a season. The poor Es-
quimaux are, unfortunately, a very
dirty people, and if they lived ever so
long in a house they would not clean
it. But the snow-hOuse finally cleans
itself in the most thorough manner,
for as soon as the warm days of sum
mer comes it melts away, and its in
mates must set about building seal
skin tent that will shelter them till
winter comes against Nicholas.

DIVISION OF FLABoR.-The glory of the
farmer is that, in the division of labOrs,
it is his part to create. All trade rests
at lasts on his primitive activity. He
stands close TO nature; he obtains from
the earth the bread and the meat. The
food which was not he causes to be. The
first farmer was the first man, and all
historic nobility rests on possession and
use of land. Men do not like hard
work, but every man has an excep-
tional respect for tillage and a feeling
that this is the original calling of his
race; that he himself is only excused
from it by some circumstances which
made him delegate it for a time to other
hands. If he have not some skill which
recommends him IN the farmer, some
product for which the farmer will give
him corn, he must himself return into
his due place among the planters. And
the procession has in all eyes its ancient
charm, as standing nearest to God, the
first cause

SCIENTIFIC.

.SiliciOus Implications. i 1t is found
that the application ot silicious paint
ing upon wood presents some peculiar
difficulties not at first apprehended !;
that is, woods naturally imDregnated
with resin do not receive the color un-
iformly, and wetting with the water OF
the solution tends 20 cause the wood 10
crack.
Upon glass it is thought silicious
painting is destined TO find advantage
Gus employment, especially in the
eonstrucriOa of decorative windows.
Artificial sulphate OF baryta, applied TO
glass by means of silicate of potash,
imparts to 1t a milk-white color of
great beauty; in few days the silica
is found intimately combined with II,
and the color resists washing with
warm water. BY the action of a strong
heat this siliciOus varnish Is transform
ed into fine white enamel of very at
tractive appearance. Blue ultramarine
oxide of chromium aud pulverized en-
mels may also be applied with a fine
effect.
Ii is also found that, by grinding the
finely divided charcoal which Is en-
plOyed in the manufacture of India
Ink with the silicate, a writing ink is
obtained which is almost unassallable
by any chemical agent. In calico prin-
ting, too, silicate of potash replaces
albumen, so long employed in the fix
ing of colors; the siiiciOus solution is
mixed with the color at the moment of
printing, and in few days the design
acquires such consistency that the
colors resist washing and soap, provi
ded they are not alterabie by alkaIies.
But it would seem that, notwithstand-
ing the efforts which have been made
by chemists to render this process COM
pletely available in this direction, the
value of the article for some purposes
has not, as yet, enabled it to supersede
albumen.
