best crop is tame grasses, and the
best animal to utilize it is the COW.

AIRING PILLOWS AND FEATHER BEDS.
Do not put your pillows or feather
beds, II you are so unfortunate as
to have feather beds, into the sun to
air but in shady place, with a clear,
dry, wind blowing over them. II it
is cloudy. but yet not damp. and the
wind Is strong, all the better. This
will keep well-cured feathers always
sweet. Badly-cured feathers cannot
be made sweet. A hot sun on the
best feathers will turn them rancid

BLEEDING AT THE NOSE.
The best remedy for bleeding at the
nose, as given by DR.. Gleason, in one
OF his lectures, is the vigorous mo-
ton OF the jaws. as IL in the act Of
mastication. In the case Of a child,
a wad Of paper should be placed in
its mouth, and the child should be
instructed to chew it hard. 1t Is the
motion Of the jaws that stops the
flow OF blood. This remedy Is so
very simple that many will feel in
clined to laugh at 1t, but 1t has never
been known to fail in a single in
stance, even in very severe cases.
Scientific american.
The annual yield Of potatoes in the
United States, according to the re-
turns OF the last census, was nearly
10000, 900 bushels. In view of the
increasing attention lately given to
this crop 1t will doubtless show at
the close OF the present decade a
large increase In the amount OF the
yield, as well as in the number and
Improvement OF varieties. In fact,
it may safely be assumed that, In
spite Of the fears OF many in regard
to the rayages Of the beetle, this crop
will still show a yield at the next
census Of over 2OO, 900, 900 bushels.
The strawberry can be more easily
grown than many suppose. Sandy
loans, good gravelly soils, or rich
clay loans are suitable, and il the
ground is well enriched and thor
oughly spaded at the commence
ment, then in all parts OF our land
people may rejoice over the same
rich feasts that we here so fully en-
Joy. Plant out in April or early in
May, moistening the roots first, II the
plants are obtained through the
mails from distant points. A few
short months will cause them to re-
veal their treasures.
Winter squash, especially Hubbard
have become such a staple In the
market that a large demand IL al
ways certain, and the grower of a
large crop rarely fails to realize well.
Failures are often due to insufficient
fertility, but more frequently, by
neglect, the bugs are allowed to de-
stroy them.
Asparagus Is one Of the most i'm
portant Of all the vegetables grown
In German gardens. In the vicinity
of Brauneschweig $4,000 acres are
devoted tothis crop, most Of which is
canned for homo consumption, and
for the Russian markets.
TRAIN THE COLTS.
The horse submits to mans au-
thority for the reason that be is
made to believe man is the stronger.
He is kind and tractable from being
treated kindly and handled lovingly.
What a horse is once taught, no
matter how young. it never forgets.
When the colt Is running by its
mothers side, it can be taught valua-
BILE lessons. Mans strength can then
easier overcome it. The more you
talk to and handle colt the more 1t
will know and the kinder it will be.
No one should ever permit a colt to
have the mastery in strength. con-
sequently small boys should not ham
die them until the colt is entirely
subdued in this respect Nor should
a colt be ever hitched or led by q
halter which he can break. II he
