A Word TO Girls.

:
We have always considered
it an unerring, sign of innate
vulgarity when we hear ladies
take particular pains to impress
US with anidea oftfleir Ignorance
of all domestic matters, save
that of sewing lace, or weaving
a net to encase their delicate
hands. Ladies, by some:curious
kind of hocus-pocus, have got it
into their heads that the best
way to catch a husband is to
show him how profoundly inca
pable they are of doing any
thing for his comfort. Fright
ening a piano into fits, murder
ing the Kings French, may be
a good bait for a ceatain kind
of fish, but they must be of that
small kind usually found in very
shallow waters, She surest way
to get a good husband is to
cultivate those accomplish
ments which make a good wife

HOME AND FARM.
smoked Corn for Seed.

An intelligent farmer who is a
very close observer and a sue
cessful corn farmer, says that he
always smokes his seed corn.
After selecting the seed he
hangs it in his smoke-house and
smokes it well. Sometimes the
corn is quite black. The result
ofthis treatment is that the corn
is not liable to rot before it
sprouts, and insects do not dis
turb it. Where he used smoked
corn there is no necessity for
replanting. He has tested this
experiment, for a number OF
years and has always been SUE
cessful. Last year he ran out
OF smoked corn while planting
one field aud used a small guam
tity ofcorn that was not smoked.
On the portion where the I'M
smoked corn was, he was COM
PEELED to replant the greater
part. e.

Destroying Corn Smut.

Every year thousands Of cat
tie die in the west from the west
from the effects of eating corn
smut. During last fall andwin-
ter, whole herds were destroyed
by this cause In Kansas-and
Nebraska. They were turned
into large fields and received no
attention for some days, at the
end or which time they were
found dying or dead. The pres
ent is perhaps the most favor
able time for destroying the
ears Of corn that will prove dam
gerors when cattle are turned
in the field the coming fail and
winter. The smut commences
to develop as soon as the germs
are formed and before they BE-
come hard. The ears, even
when covered with husks, may
be distinguished by their unnat-
ural size. They should be
searched for on every hill; when
foundthey should be..broken of,
put in baskets or bags, carried
out of the fields, and buried or
burned. A, little, timely atten-
ton to the matter may be the
means of saving several valua-
BILE animals. By destroying the
smutty ears now the spread of
the fungus may be prevented. =

Bran and Meal Faed

The cream from the milk
when the COWS were fed on a
peck of buckwheat bran each
was light colored and thin; but
when they are fed four quarts
OF corn meal, the cream is thick
er and more yellow. This
means more butter. Bran of all
sorts is better for young animals,
as it makes muscle; but mealis
best for cows as it makes fat !;
and milk is fat; that milk which
will make good butter contains
a large per cent. of fat. The
bran will make the best manure,
because there is more of it that
goes into the manure pile, and
this furnishes the supply of nj
trogen. The farmer who feeds
plenty of bran will have a rich
manure heap, aud soft is cheap
er to buy bran and feed it liber-
ally than to stint ones animals
and buy commercial fertilizers.
Commercial manures do not
furnish much nitrogen. This
must come largely from grain,
and the bran issthe nitrogenous
part, and without nitrogen there
will net beperfect plant growth.
The lesson we should teach is
to save all the bran for the
growing animals and the meal
for the fattening ones and the
COWS. To make them all
healthy and to assimilate both
bran and meal perfectly, roots
should always be fed. This is
an important part of the system,
and helps to make perfect di-
gestion. ~ I0""

POETRY.

What is poetry? 1t is not
merely the melody of verse, or
the spirltof passion and emotion
embodied in verse. 1t is a rev.
elation from heaven of its own
beauty and glory,an atmosphere
Of heaven breathed down and
diffused through our grosser one
by which we become sensible
of the strength of joy in the
heart, of the moral greatness of
our better nature; of the treas
ures of past intellects, and the
full grandeur and rainbow
splendor ofhumanhopes. 1t is
this spirit that is continually lift
ing us out of the clay of the
! earth-out of the grossness of
our animal condition, to per-
ception of wider views, intenser
being, more generous, glowing
and ethereal aspirations. 1t is
like the suffusion Of purple and
violet light cast down from the
evening sun over the mountains
which however beautiful in
themselves, derive a tenfold
and heavenly beauty from it.
1t is not SO much a part of our
selves, as the spirit of an eter-
nal and divine, world which
moulds and incorporates US into,
itself, and changesrs from what
we are, to what we are to be.
Let no man fall into the griev-
Gus mistake that poetry only
lives in verse-nor that tits con-
fined to language at all. It's a
far and widely diffused spirit,
and lives in all greater hearts
more or less, and often in human
affluence than we imagine. 1t
can not always throw itself in
language.

About Women of Twenty-Five.

The man who meets and loves
the women of twenty-five is
truly'fortunate, and she isequal-
ly as fortunate in meeting and
loving him, says a writer in a
feminine journal. AT that age
she seldom deceives. She may
not have, she is not likely to
have then, her first sentimental
experience; but such experience
an such an age is more than
Sentimental and rarely ever
fleeing. She looks back at the
youths she imagined she was
enamored of between sixteen
or eighteen or often twenty-five,
and they are,.more than indiffer-
emf or repellant to her-they
are ridiculous, and in some
sort she. as she then was, is re-
diculous to- herself She can
not but be grateful to her des-
tiny that her sympathies and af--
fections have been reserved for
a worthy object and a higher
end. At twenty-five, if ever, a

mental mistakes; she is far surer
of her fortune, because she feels
that her fate is, to a certain ex-
tent, within, her own hands.
Not only is she lovelier and
more lovable, broader and
stronger than she has been, but
her welded happiness and pow
ers of endurance are in man
ner guaranteed.

Sheep husbandry possesse.
more interest fer the average
citizen not impediately engaged
in it than does any other branch
OF live stock culture. This for
the same reason that the ques-
ton of both food and raiment
enter into its consideration.
Men eat mutton from choice
while they wear wooden clothes
from necessity. The double de-
mand thus made upon the pro-
ducts of the flock bring its eco
nomical culture and thrift home
to the freside of every house
hold. These demand wool and
mutton of good quality. at low
prices, and need not be expect
ed to remain long passive under
a condition of the market not in
accordance with their desire,
The successful flock masters of
the future are to be those who
appreciate these facts, and ad-
just their business accordingly.
The maximum amount of meat
and fibre will be secure for the
outlay of labor and provender,
by bestowing these only upon
animals best adapted to bling
the highest returns therefore.
Money will be made by furnish
ing the purchaser a superior,
rather than by efforts at forcing
! up prices for articles of an or.
binary or low grade. The little
economies will be looked after
with a vigilant eye, and unnec-
.essary expenses Topped off with
an unsparing hand. In the
more rigorous localities, stock
will be warmed externally by
comfortable shelters, rather than
internally by food which should
go to the building up of meat
and fibre. Constant improve
ment, through the employment
of animals of better blood, will
be looked after-in short, all
the accessories to profit will be
made to contribute to the in
come of the flock master who
hereafter successfully completes
for the highest profits in the
future as now seen before him.

pounds offlesh the past winter,
to say that "they are Just in

cattle or horses are running
down in flesh, they are, just the

well fed now at any rate. and
thoroughly groomed. Give a
pair OF cattle peck of corn
meal daily, upon hay or corn
stalks, cut up and soaked eight
to twelve hours, with all the
good hay they will eat. Allow
them a long incoming, water
regularly three times day; see
that the yokes do not pinch or

their necks are tender, first
wash and then lay or bind fold
ed clothes, wet with cold water,
upon the spots for an hour or

In selecting a cutting, a great
deal depends upon a judicious
choice; if the slip is too young
and full of fresh sap, it will fade
away from too much evapora-
ton; fit is too old-hard and
woody-it will take "a great
while to strike root.
You must take a cutting that
is perfectly ripened and is from
a vigorous shoot, ysta little
hardened at the base.
1t is also essential to have a
bud or joint at or near the end
of the cutting; as all roots strike
from it, and the nearer it is to
the base, the greater your
chance ofsuccess. er'.
Plant your cuttings in COM
mon red pots, filed half full of
rich loan and two inches of
sand on top Securing sand will
do, but not sea sandy; wet this
thoroughly, and put the cutting
close around the edge of the
pot, for if the bud or joint come
in contract with the of the pot,
it seems to strike root more
quickly. When the cuttings are
firmly planted, cover them with
a glass shade if possible, as it
will greatly promote the growth
of the plant. TOR yl- r4
Moisture, light and, heat are
the three essentials to plant life
without them no cuttings will

Shade for two or three days
from the sunlight, but don't let
the sand become dry; then give
all the sun you can obtain, keep
up a good supply Of moisture,
and you can hardly fail to root
most of your cuttings.
