"WHAT SHALL We DO Wrru Our
DAUGHTERs?"-Mrs. Livermore has made
this query the text of her fine lectures.
IL is certainly an important problem, but
the Davenport Democrat thus sums up
some sensible lessons which should early
be impressed upon them:
Teach them selfreliance.
Teach them to make bread.
Teach them to make shirts.
Teach them to foot up store bills.
Teach them TO not wear false hair
Teach them to wear thick, warm shoes
Bring them up the way they should 90.
Teach them how 10 make their own
dresses.
Teach them how to wash and non
clothes
Teach them how to cook n good meal of
vctuals.
Teach them that Il dollar is only II hun
dred cents.
Teach them how to darn stockings and
sew on buttons.
Teach them every day, dry, hard practi.
cal common sense.
Teach them to say No, and mean it; or
Yes and stick to it,

KINDNESS IN HANDLING DAIRY STOCK
1t is important that dairy stock, from the
Young calf to the old cow that is being fed
for beef, should be handled and treated
kindly. If calf is handled roughly and
becomes wild and vicious thereby, when it
becomes COW you may expect the same,
but if handled carefully and treated with
kindness when grown up she will be mild
and gentle. 1t may not always be so, but
in general it is. There have been many
cows spoiled by the person having the care
of and milking them, by whipping or
frightening them whenever they come in
his way, or if when milking, n COW hoists
her foot or kicks (Which is generally
caused by pain) such a fellow stops milk
ing and commences whipping, or. worse,
kicking the COW, and she becomes enraged,
holds up her milk, kicks back, and is final
ly ruined. Never whip COW for kicking,
if she does kick the milk pail out of your
hand and sometimes upset and knock you,
but. be kind and gentle with her. and milk
her with as little excitement rs possible,
and if she gets over her kicking propensi-
ty it will be by mild and not by harsh
treatment Never whip cow because
she kicks, for it will do no good, but will
do great deal of harm" So speaks Mr.
PARCEL in the report of the n j. A. S.

UTILIZING SEwERAGE.-The chemist
says that 200 ounces of ammonia exist in
the average annual discharges of people.
This is now nearly all lost from want of
proper earth or water closets and applying
their contents to the soil. Could this be
done, millions of bushels of grain, and
thousands of tons of grass would be added
to the worlds products; many diseases
which now afflict humanity would be
stamped out, and the water we drink would
be purified from much that is deeterious.
We little know now how often rain water,
teaching through focal matter, finds its
way into springs and wells. and yet when
drawn out, it looks so clear and tastes SO
well, that the poison within is not suspect.

YELLOW LEAVES ON HOUSE PLANTS
Yellow and falling leaves on any plant
are sign of il.health. The most fire.
quent cause of it is excessive watering
One good watering weekly is sufficient for
most potted plants, and it is better to give
thorough soaking at once and repeat after
that period, than to give little water
every day or two. More plants are in.
jured by excess of water than by too little.
If this is not the cause there is something
wrong in the pot. Take out the ball OF
earth and shake off most of the soil,
prune the roots and repot with fresh soil
made of good garden loan, leaf mold
from the woods. and rotten COW manure in
equal parts. Put two inches in depth of
broken stone or pieces of old mortar in the
bottom for drainage.

MARBLED BEEF.-Americans have sue.
ceeded in producing beef sufficiently fat
to meet the demands of any market. I'm
fortunately, however, for the quality of the
beef, the fat and lean are not well distrib.
uted The fat is in huge masses, and is
useless rs human food. Specimens OF
finely marblcd beef are rarely found in
this country. Undoubtedly our method
of feeding beef cattle causes the absence Of
"the streak of fat and streak of lean
that are so desirable. Our animals are
for the most part ftttened on corn, which
produces "a large amount of hard tallow
that is deposited in masses outside the
flesh. The best marble beef is produced
by cattle that feed on rich, tender grasses
The best beef known in Lordon market
comes from the mountain regions of Ire
land and Scotland, where the cattle have
little or no grain. 1t was at one time
thought that the breed of the cattle raised
in these localities was the cause of the
marblcd appearance and Of the prime fla
vor of the meat. 1t now seems to be set
tied that the superiority Of this beef is due
to the peculiar feed of the animals. Corn
produces an abundance Of tat, but it is not
fat of the right kind, and it is not deposited
in the right places. 1t is likely that we
have made too much use of corn in the
production not only of beef, but of pork
and mutton. Chicago Times.

filled with fresh loan. This should be
done in the spring, or during the month
Of June, and repeated the following
spring. This plan has been tried with
complete success.
Another insect closely resembling the
one last described has attacked the currant
bushes, both in this country and in Europe.
The eggs from which the caterpillars are
Matched are laid singly near the buds.
These worms penetrate the stem to the
pith, which they devour. OF course all
the bushes attacked are greatly injured. or
entirely destroyed. They continue their
ravages until the middle of June, when
they complete their transformation and
cover the bushes in the moth state.

PREVENTIVE WASH FOR THE BoRER.-
NJ. b. Bateham, an excellent authority,
gives the following as his preventive wash
for the apple borer, TO be applied early
in June: " For an orchard of say five
hundred bearing trees, we buy pint of
crude carbolic acid, costing notover TWEEN
ty-live cents Tor half rs much of the re-
fined), then take Il gallon of good soft
soap, and thin it with gallon of hot
water, stirring in the acid and letting it
stand over night or longer; then add eight
gallons of cold soft water, and stir. We
then have ten gallons of the liquid ready
for use. Some use little more and others
less of the acid. The proportion stated is
strong enough, and, if much stronger,
would he likely to injure the trees. The
wash should be thoroughly applied with Il
swab or brush around the base of eacl
tree, taking pains to have it enter III
