Mr.. BLOSSOMS Experience with IL
Dog.

Last night Dobson, writes Yer
ginia City reporter, ran across a lit
tie friendless purp on B-street, and
not wishing to see the animal left out
in the cold, took him home. Mrs.
Dobson hated dogs, but after an az
gument Of an hour or so consented
to allow this one to sleep in the
house. The animal acted with prop
er decorum until about one o'clock in
the morning, when it began to slam
around the house and bark vocifer-
ously. Mrs. D. limited that old d.
had better get up and put that dog
out. He got up, stumbled over the
baby, aud upset some stands and
things before he struck a light. He
was just twenty minutes catching the
dog and upsetting more furniture
than he supposed he ever owned.
There was narrow alley between
Dobson's house and the next, and

Warts. Lunar caustic, carefully
applied so as not to touch the skin,
will destroy warts.
Cleaning Hair-Spirits Of ammo
MIA diluted little, will cleanse the
hair very thoroughly.
..Perspirution.-To obviate offensive
perspiration, wash your feet with
soap and diluted spirits Of ammonia
White Cake.-One cup sugar, half
cup butter, half cup milk, one and a
half cups flour, white of three eggs,
two teaspoonfuls baking powder;

Judgment; bake as other buildings,
and serve with sauce to suit the taste.
BroiLeG BOne.-When these have
fair proportion of meat on they
should be rubbed over with salt and
pepper and little butter, broiled
some distance above or before the
fire, that they may get gradually
| warm, and should be served very hot
| and rather brown.
lemonade for Scarlet Fsver.-An
eminent physician Of a Western city
says he has cured ninety-nine out Of
| every hundred cases of scarlet fever
by giving the patient warm lemonade
| with gum arabic dissolved in it. A
cloth wrung out in hot water and laid
upon the stomach should be removed
as rapidly as it becomes cool.
Cure for Dipltheria.-Acorrespo
dent Of the Boston Journal writes
that he has used the following rem
edy for diphtheria in a great many
hard cases, and in not one has it failed
to effect a cure. 1t is as follows -
Procure some pitch tar-not gas tar
put a little on a hot iron, invert
tunnel over the smoke, and let the
patient inhale as much as he can
without strangling, for few minutes,
five or six times day. During the
intervals let the patient have small
pieces of ice to keep as near the roots
Of the tongue as possible,
Pepper Soqtce.-Four dozen green
peppers, five onions, one handful lady
garlic, three tablespoonful of grated
horseradish, two quarts best cider
vinegar; one quart OF water. Put
the whole into kettle ON the fire
and boil until soft enough to mash
in q sieve with a spoon; then add
two tablespoonfuls Of black pepper,
one tablespoonful each of allspice,
powdered, mace pulverized, one-half
tablespoonful of cloves, pulyerized
and one tablespoonful Of salt. Place
the mixture on the fire and let boil
ten minutes. Pass all the spices
through a sieve before adding to the
peppers.
Tomato ETgs.-Take pear shaped
or small single tomatoes, scald and
skin them, then to half peck or
eight pounds, take three pounds OF
brown sugar. Cook them with sugar
over a fire without water until the
sugar penetrates and they are clari-
fed. Take them out and spread on
dishes, fatten them and dry in the
sun. Sprinkle on them a little syrup
whilst drying. When dry pack down
in boxes, treating each layer with
| powdered sugar; the syrup that is
left over may be boiled down and
bottled for use. They viii keep from
year to year, and retain their flavor,
which is very much like that Of the
figs.

KICKING COWS.

1t not unfrequently happens that the
very best mixer in the dairy herd is
sent to the butcher on account of her
vicious kicking, or uneasy stepping
about while being MIXED. Owners
find such animals too troublesome. and
in despair of curing the animals, prefer
to get rid of them. Some heifers are
said to inherit the habit but it is often
er acquired through the bad treatment
received at the hands of their care takers.
Prevention in this case is much better
than cure, and heifer should be accus-
toned to being handled long before hav-
ing her first calf and especially just before
that event. Pet animals have no such
fault, and the law of kindness is never
more productive of good results than in
the case of milk cows. A rough, brutal
man should never be employed in the
care of dairy stock. But supposing the
habit be formed, how can it be cured :?
A Vermont correspondent of the New
York Tribune recommends buckling a
surcingle tight about the body just for
ward of the udder. The principle, prob
ably, is that the muscles used in kick
ing are so hampered that the animal
! finds it easier to stand still. The cor
respondent says it never failed with
him. We saw the same thing recon-
mended few years age, and put it in
practice with three year-old heifer We
had just bought. With us it was not
a success far from it. The beast was
terrified beyond measure at the unwont-
ed pressure. and in her efforts to free
herself got cast, and COW, man, milk
pail and principle brought up in the
same general ruin. A much better wa J
and the one adopted with success in this
instance, is to sit down as close to the
cow as possible, with the knee snug
against her leg. In this position it il
almost impossible for her to kick, anc
if she does she cannot hurt you. Have
little or nothing to say to her, and above
all things do not yell out 80. boss J
every time she makes step. Pay clos
attention to your business and mill
as rapidly as possible. Pat her ant
speak kindly in going into the stall
and never at any time let her get tn
idea that you have any fear of hel
Another correspondent of the same pa
per recommends building the cow int
her stall in such way that she can
not move in any direction, and pinior
ing her right foot. The probability

be utterly ruined by her struggles

FEEDING ROOTS TO STOCK.

The constant and long continued feed
ing of dry fodder to stock often pro-
duces constipation and general debili-
ty of the digestive organs, followed by
diseases common to domestic animals
and the prevalence of such diseases
during winter months among cattle fed
wholly upon dry food is one of the
strongest arguments that could be offer
ed favor of mixed diet of roots and
dry fodder. Sudden changes from soft
succulent food to dry, or the reverse,
are also injurious to the digestive or
gans; and cattle taken in from the pas
ture should receive rations of roots for
a few weeks if no longer, or until they
become accustomed by gradual dimimu-
ton of the green food to live upon the
dry alone. The same course should
be pursued in the spring, by supplying
some kind of soft or green food for sew
eral weeks before turning out to pas
ture. The better system is to have
roots enough to give rations to them
daily through the entire winter, feed
ing more freely to COWS giving milk
than to those that are dry. Sheep may
be wintered almost entirely on roots
and straw, and come out in the spring
healthy and fat: but a little care is
sometimes necessary in feeding turnips
for if given too freely to ewes with
lamb, the large amount of water, in this
root will sometimer produce scours, and
even cause abortion.
The quantity of roots to be fed daily
to stock must vary in accordance with
their nutritive properties. For instance
the amount of nutritive matter in 1000
pounds of the common white turnips is
only about forty-two pounds, or little
over four per cent. In the Swedish
turnip it is about sixty -four, while in
the mangel wurzal beet it is $50. accord
ing to an analysis By Sir Hunphry Davy
The sugar beet contains considerably
more nutritive matter than the mangel
but the yield per acre is somewhat less
consequently what is gained in quality
is lost in quantity. Carrots and pars
nips are still more abundant in nutri
tive properties, but more expensive, a
they require richer soil and greater car
in cultivation but being worth NOR
for feeding than the larger kinds. the,
may be considered equally profitable t
the farmer. Turnlps are the easiest t
raise, and the least in value of all th
ordinary roots generally cultivated upol
the farm; but as they are far bette
than no roots, we cannot urge too strong
ly their cultivation to farmers who thin
they have little time to devote to th
production of such crops.-N Z. San.

Never Travel without Your Bottle

Of Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry.
Travellers know that they are constantly
exposed to sudden draughts of air. There
is sure to be some "Miss Nancy" who
must have the window open to let in the
fresh air, for she claims to be oppressed
in her breathing. All in her ghbor-
hood shiver from the chill air, but, bless
you, she is delicate and must be eccen-
trio! You may call the conductor and
insist upon that window being closed,
but it is more conducive to peace and
comfort to take swallow of Wistar' s
Balsam of Wild Cherry than contend
with the raw boned invalid. This Balsam
is agreeable to the taste and effective in
its work, and it is indispensable in pass
ing through all kinds of climates SO
cents and s. bottle. Sold by dealers
generally.

According to the Boerea Coawant, a
saving may be effected in the consump-
ton of oats for horses by simply soak
ing them in tepid water. Practical ex-
periments which have been made show
that by this method the ration for each
animal may be reduced by third.
Horses whose teeth have seen their best
days masticate the grain in its ordinary
condition insuficiently. and younger
animals often eat so greedily that the
greater proportion of it is swallowed
whole.

1t is getting SO that great many
young men feel that no occasion of pleas
ure is perfect without liquor. They
need little beer or something stronger
to make the dance sufficiently fascinat-

out imbibing in order to make the home
ward journey pleasant. and on all great
occasion Ere their spirits with something
stronger than water. They make a
great mistake in these practices.
