All considerate individuals are aware
OF the Importance Of pure sweet air IN the
economy of health to the human family.
OF equal importance is it to the well
doing of our dumb animals, horses, cows.
ETC.; but how many farmers seem to dis
regard this requirement. Many, other

faulty in this particular of ventilation.
How to so arrange for perfect vetilation
of our stables for cattle and horses, so
that they may at the same time be pro-
tected from cold drafts of air, chills, etc.
l confess myself not qualified to advise;
but that with our present knowledge bet
ter ventilation may be had than is pro-
vided by large proportion of farmers,
there is unquestionably no denying.
That individuals and cattle may endure
and live in the stable atmosphere of
farmers barns is true; but can they live
In health. In the majority OF stables one
cannot pass through without carrying the
ammoniacal gases in his clothes for some
time, even in the open air. This ought
not to be. What an atmosphere to milk

wonder that SO much poor butter and
milk find their way to market, when we

No stable should be quilt without some
duct through which foul air may be CON
veyed away; one, two, or more, according
to the size OF stable, should ascend from
the top of the stables and pass out
through the roof. Foul and heated air
ascends, and the draft encouraged by the
duct, will tend to clear the air of the
stable; sufficient fresh air will find its
way in through cracks, and over the
head of the animals from in front, to
keep ventilation tolerably good, much
better than where no ducts are provided.
Milk producers become SO habituated to
this stable atmosphere that they are not
aware OF the amount Of ammonia which
they constantly carry about in their
clothes, but Notwithstanding this, it is
none the less sufficient oftentimes to faint
good-sized room of pure air. With
free ventilation this would be very much
less frequent.

You Had a SMOOTH Path.

One morning, when went to school,
In the long-vanished yesterday,
found the creek had burst its banks,
And spilled its waters DER my way.
The little path was filled with mud;
tried to cross it on log;
Ny foot slipped, and / helpless, fell
Into mass of miry bog.
Ny clothes were pitiful to see;
Ny hands and face were covered quite
The children laughed right heartily,
And jcered me when came in sight.
Sweet Jessie Brown, in snow-white dress,
Stood, smiling, by the teachers desk,
The while he, gravely as he might,
inquired the secret of my plight.
Then Jessie shook her snow-white dress,
And said, What will you give to me
For coming here SO nice and cleans
My very shoes from dirt are free"
The tutor frowned, and answered her,
YOU merit no reward to-day;
Your clothes and hands are clean because
You had smooth path all the way
And SO, think, when children grown
Are White in grace, or black with SIN,
We should not judge until we know
The path fate had them travel in;
For some are led on sunny heights,
Beyond the power of Sin to sway;
While others grope in darksome paths,
And face temptation all the way.

Manic Curtains.

Iknow Of some curtains, all lined with pink
silk,
And borded with fringes of gold,
That, fashioned of satin, the hue OF rich milk,
Are to fold and unfold.
When darkness comes on, and the world
sinks to sleep,
These beautiful curtains slip down:
And, all through the night-hours caressingly
sweep
The cheeks of all sleepers in town.
And when the day dawns, andthe people wake
up,
These curtains they fold up SO tight
Their creamy white fullness SO closely take
up,
That only the fringe is in sight!
Do you know what these wonderful curtains
are yet?
Or, will YOU be filled with surprise,
When tell you that two are most cunningly
set
Right over your wondering eyes?

Il Russian Story.

The Russian princes in Paris are all
men of large incomes, but generally spend
thrifts. One OF them borrowed the sum
of ten til ousand francs from money lend
or, giving his note FOR the same. On the
day it fell due the holder presented it
for payment, and was told by the prince
that he had no money to waste in paying
debts. At that moment gentleman en-
tered, and the prince handed him twenty
thousand francs to meet the losses of the
night before at the club The lender tore
up his note of-hand, and said, when 90
ing out:
CHOW, prince, there is nothing between
us but debt of honor."
The prince bowed, and handed over
the money without a word. The second
begins in the same way, but when the
lender presented his note the prince flew
into q passion, called him hard names
and, drawing a revolver, made him eat

A few days later the lender received
his money, with a thousand-franc bill
thrown in as interest. Shortly afterward
the lender received a letter from the
prince, informing him that he was again
in want of money, and telling him to
present himself with ten thousand francs
and stamped paper upon which to write
his note-of-hand. The lender came
with the money.
"Where is your paper for the note?" he
said, taking the money.
"Here it is, prince" said the lender
drawing a large cake Of gingerbread
from his coat pocket.
The prince laughed at the joke, anc
shortly afterwards paid the debt with in

Washing Blankets.

Seeing an inquiry for the best way to
wash blankets, some time since, I waited
to see if some one would not give way
which l read long time ago, I have
tried it and know it is good:
Put boiler of soft water to heat: dis
solve and add to it half bar of Kinks
soap-either the white or blue. Put your
blankets in a washtub, laying them in
somewhat like coil of rope, so they can
be easily handled. Heat the suds scald-
ing hot; pour it over the blankets; punch
them down, and cover with quilt or
some heavy material to keep the steam
from escaping. Let them remain till
morning then squeeze and rub lightlywith
the hands; on no account use washboards
for blankets Then have soft clean
rinse water, but not more than blood
warm; put the blankets into this, but not
wiring them, either with your hands or a
clothes-wringer; but run them from asuds
into basket, and let them drain, so as
to carry as little of the dirty suds as pos
sible into the rinse water. Get them as
Tree from the suds as you can, and then
drain them as before, and put them
through second tub of clean soft water.
Put them into your basket, without
wringing them; let them drain, aud they
are then ready for the line. Hang them
lengthwise by the extreme outer edge,
not through the middle, and put the
clothes-pins near together, not more than
a fingers length apart. When the blank
cts are about half dry reverse the edges,
and let the edge hang down that was
pinned to the line.

Selecting Meats.

In selecting beef to roast, if it be a
small family, the rib is by far the best
and most tender cut; have some of the
bone removed, then make your butcher
skewer the beef. The best beefsteak for
broilng is porter-bouse. The best beef
for a la mode is the round; have the bones
removed and trim off all the gristle. For
corned beef the round is also the best.
For mutton roast choose the shoulder.
the saddle, or the loin and haunch. The
leg should be boiled. Small rib chops
are best for broiling; those cut from the
leg are generally tough. Mutton outlets
to bake arc taken from the neck. For
roast veal, the loin, breast or shoulder is
good. Veal chops are best for frying;
outlets are more apt to be tough.
In selecting beef take that which has a
loose grain, easily yielding to pressure of
if the lean is purplish and the fat yellow,
it is poor beef. Grass fed is the lightest,
OK the best, and next the heifer
Perhaps the incest mutton roast is a
small leg, the bone taken out, and the
cavity stuffed with forced meat. The
best beef roast is (for three) about two
and half or three pounds of porter
house. Sirloin ranks next. A rump
roast is very nice. Two to three pounds
is very great plenty for three. In
chops, we think, that from the hind leg
of mutton best, unless you can get a
"meaty" sirloin. The same in pork, about
one and quarter to one and half
pounds is sufficient; beefsteak about the
same quantity. Portar-house steak is
cheaper than sirloin, having less bone.

Because the manufacturer labors in

A Model Confession,

Several years ago, in Western town, a
young lawyer, member of large
church, got drunk. The brethren said he
must confess. He demurred. He knew
the members to be good people, but
that they had their little faults, such as
driving sharp bargains, screwing the Ia
borers down to low wages, loaning money
at illegal rates, misrepresenting articles
they had for sale, etc. But they were
good people, and pressed the lawyer to
come before the church meeting and own
up his sin of taking a glass too much; for
they were temperance people, and alb
horred intemperance.
The sinner finally went to the confess
sion, found large gathering of brethren
and sisters, whose bowed heads rose and
whose eyes. glistened with pure delight
as the lawyer began his confession.

fession down went brothers head with

Still and hushed as the polar re gions.

And the Tyre at his bare feet laying
Starts into life, like the trill of bird
Whose melody knows no staying.
Tis an old, old theme, but it fires the blood

And they fight as the valiant always should
For the love of their faith and freedom!
When the sun goes down in radiant glow.

HOXS-A Look Abe nd.

From the National Live Stock Journal
Last month the Journal cautioned its
readers against hasty abandonment of
the business of raising corn and m aking
pork, on the ground that, taking one year
with another, no business was certainly
more remunernative. We now desire to
call attention to new aspect OF the ques-
lion. It is certain that nothing has ex
erted so powerful an influence in sustain
ing the prices and stimulating the pro-
duction of beef in this country, for the
past year or two, as the foreign demand,
brought about by the improved methods
of transportation, that have enabled US to
place our fresh meats in the English
markets in good condition. Hitherto
this trade has been confined mainly to
beef, but lately it has extended largely to
pork; and, by paragraph which we
publish elsewhere, it will be noticed that
in single week, early in June, 1890 live
hogs were received in Liverpool from
America.
We believe that there can be no POSI-
bic difficulty in the way of transportation
Of live hogs to England from this country
in large quantities. They bear TRANSPORT
tation much better, and with less shrink
age than any other kind of live stock, and
there is scarcely limit to the extent to
which. the trade may be extended.
We. do not know how extensive the de-
mand for fresh pork may be in England,
but we understand that in some sections
It's enormous; and if this be true, we
hould not be surprised to see the ship.
ment of live hogs from this country car
ried on to such an extent as to have s
material effect upon such prices at home.
At all events we shall watch the further
development of the trade with interest.
