A WORD TO THE CORPULENT.

Instead of regarding obesity as an alb.
normal condition, many people have er-
roneously considered it as an evidence
of health, and any agent that reduc-
es fat is therefore at once suspected of
being injurious. Starting to reason from
the false position that fat is an evidence
of health, it is not surprising that they
should, very naturally, fall into the er-
ror of supposing that an agent possessing
properties capable Of reducing corpulen-
cy would prove injurious to the health.
Reasoning. however, from the rational
basis. that an undue deposition of fat.
constituting obesity. is not healthy but
morbid condition, it is quite as natural
for US to arrive at the opposite conclu-
sion, which is sustained by experience
and observation, a. e., that the reduction
of fat in cases of corpulency is in vari-
ably followed by an improvement of
strength. spirits, and physical comforts.
Adams Anti Fat will reduce fat per-
son from 2 to 5 pounds a week. Sold
by all druggists.

CONTROLLING Vicious HoRsEs.-A
new and very simple method of training
vicious horses was exhibited in West
Philadelphia recently, and the manner
in which some of the widest horses we're
subdued was astonishing. The first trial
was that of kicking or "bucking" mare,
which her owner said had allowed no
rider on her back for period of at least
FIVE years. She became tame and gentle
in about as many minUtes, and allowed
herself to be ridden about without a
sign of her former wildness. The means
by which the result was accomplished
consisted of piece of light rope, which
was passed around the front jaw of the
mare, just above the upper teeth, crossed
in her mouth and thence secured, back
of her neck. 1t was claimed that no
horse will kick or jump when thus Sc
cured, and that "bucking' horse, after
receiving the treatment a few times,
will abandon his vicious way forever.
A very simple method was also shown
by which kicking horse could be shod.
1t consisted in connecting the animals
head and tail by means of a rope fasten-
ed to the tail and then to the bit, and
drawn tightly enough to incline the
horses head to one side.-This, it is
claimed, makes it absolutely impossible
for the horse to kick on the side of the
rope. At the same exhibition, a horse
which for many years had to be bound
on the ground to be shod, suffered the
blacksmith to operate on him without
attempting to kick while secured in the
manner described.

How TO FAsTEN UP IvIEs.-I have
discovered very neat and convenient
method of fastening up ivies to the wall.
I use the little hooks with screw on one
end, which are kept at every hardware
store. They may be screwed into win
dow castings or even into the rplastered
wall, one or one and a half feet apart,
and the ivy will rest in them firmly and
securely, and yet may be easily removed
to wash the leaves and as easily replaced
again.-Be careful not to get the hooks
too large.-Hoaasekeeper.

There are glorious possibilities in dry
bones. Valleys which were full of
bones may come to be gatherings of a
living host. God knows whether those
bones can live. At his command, call
on them to hear his word. Where there
shaking among them, take fresh
heart. But never rest satisfied at seeing
flesh on the bones, and skin covering
the flesh call on the Hory Spirit to
breathe on the dead that they may live.
And according as you are faithful and
faith-flled, look to see the dead revived
and the valley full of an exceeding great
army. Then, and not before, you can
rejoice at your work accomplished there.

AN OBSERVATORY BEEHIVE.

An observatory hive appears to be in
dispensible to bee-keepers who are in
terested in watching the internal opera
ton of hive of bees. To make such
a hive, lift frame containing honey and
brood and form pint to quart of bees
from full size hive. If there is no
queen with them, all the better, as the
process of rearing young queens can be
seen if there are any eggs or larvae in
the combs. Have narrow frame made
to receive this frame set sash contain
ing glass at each side of the comb, so
that both sides of the comb will be in
full view. The glass should be three
Fights of an inch from the comb. Un-
less the bees should be removed a mile
or more to prevent them from going back
to the old hive. it is best to shut them in
two or three days, giving them air then
let them out little before shutdown, SO
that they will not 60 far from home, but
fly around the hive and mark the place.
Such a hive can be set in the parlor,
with tube run under the window sash,
to allow the bees to pass in and out.
Tumblers set over the holes in the top
may be filled with honey by the bees.
1t is best to cover the hive with cloth to
keep it dark for few days, until the
bees become accustomed to the place
In such hive the keeper can at all
times show visitors the queen bee; see
her lay her eggs; witness the process Of
building combs. storing honey and pol.
len, feeding the young, and many other
things that are interesting to practical
bee-keepers.-Practtcol Farmer.

THE REVOLUTION In DAIRYING.

1t is scarcely more than a year since
the western people were complaining
that the brand Western upon their dairy
packages conveyed an inference of infe-
riority of quality, and was accompanied
by decided inferiority in market value.
Eastern men said patronizingly, raise
the quality of your goods and the market
will respond at once; make western
butter equal to ours and the prices will
regulate themselves.
At the same time they rested conf
IDENTIFY in the opinion that such state
of affairs could never occurr. They slept
on that idea just as the hare in the fable
slept on the idea that the crawling tor
toise could never overtake her in the
race. But eastern dairymen have been
awakened in most startling manner.
Western creamery butter stands at the
head of the market, and western dairy
men carry premiums at the exhibitions.
AS usual, the west has gone ahead. 1t
is a western habit to do that. With all
their pertinacity and vim born of their
eastern origin. together with the sur
passing advantages of their locality,
western men have left their eastern COM
petitors in the rear, simply because they
discovered what was wanted by con-
sumers of their produce. and then went
to work and produced it.
They found that sweet, fresh butter
was wanted in place of stale frkins and
tubs packed in June. and they went to
winter dairying; had their COWS fresh in
the fall fed them on early cut hay and
and their rich and cheap corn; used all
their natural advantages and acquired
the necessary skill turned out an ex.
cellent product and swept the market
And now the eastern men are coagitating
how they may recover their lost ground
They are in the rear just now, and 9
stern chase is always long race; bu
whichever wins in the end, the public
who consume the butter and cheese, will
be the gainers.-Ryal Neao Yorker.

The following is a good recipe for
worms in horses: Powdered poplar bark.
two ounces; powdered sulphur, four
ounces; salt, three ounces; mixed we'll.
Divide this mass into twelve parts, and
mix one with the food every night. This
will not only remove worms, but also
tone up the digestive organs, so that the
parasite cannot find foothold. Three
parts wood ashes and two of salt, a
tablespoonful fed daily with the feed, is
simple and effectual remedy.

SWEET PEAs.-sweet peas are general
favorites. They are beautiful, and so
fragrant that no garden is complete
without them. They can be planted in
April, and do not mind frosty weather
in the least. Plant three or four inches
deep. When they begin to climb, give
them treAis of brush. They will COW
er it very soon. and show off their beau
tiful colors to much better advantage on
it than when trained to any other
support. For bouquets they are unex-
celled.
