A FACT worth remembering in con-
nection with sealskin is that after it has
been exposed to rain or snow it should
be first well shaken and then hung up
to dry In room where there is no arti-
fetal heat. If dried by fire or furnace
heat the fur becomes matted together
and defaced.--Mss Corson. f
In handling sheep, do not catch and
hold them by the wool. Seize the beast
by both hands, then pass one hand
around the body, grab the brisket, and
ut the sheep clear from the ground.
Pp)ing on the wool sometimes sepa-
rates the skin from the body and causes
inflammation.-Laasi,aq Republican.

hours; sprinkle salt over it and drain In
colandcr; this should be done with

Serve with brown gravy and currant
jelly sauce.
Bazaar TONGUE TOAST.-MiDcc very
fine cold boiled tongue, mix with
cream, and to every half pint Of the
mixture allow the well-bcaten yclks Of
two eggs. Place on the stove and let
simmer minute or two. Have ready
some nicely buttcred toast, flour over
the mixture. and serve hot. .
IT has been many years since we have
had as propitious a time for reducing
or extinguishing mortgages. Farmers
should indulge in no unnecessary lux
uries till the farm is relieved of a blis-
ter upon it called a mortgage. 1t
draws like blister, causes pain like o
blister, and creates many hcart-pang
besides. Get the farm free, then keep
out of debt and all will be serene

Or all men, IN Ill occupations, the
thrifty one is he who never is idle; vet
what a vast difference there is in the
distribution and application of this in.
dustry! Not every industrious person
is thrifty one, for the labor may not
be rightly applied. The thrifty farmer
has adopted his profession as business,
and spares no means or energy to be-
come proficient and successful, clinging
to it with tenacity Of purpose ncccs-
sary to success in any undertaking.
Whatever he does bears the marks of
his labor and direction. He selects all
his implements. animals. fruits. etc.,
with view to their particular adapted
ness to his wants and circumstances

PROBABLY the majority of the people
never thought anything at all about the
matter, but it is very difficult matter
to administer medicine to pig. At a
recent meeting of an English farmers
club, Prof. Mcbride said: "To dose a
pig, which you are sure to choke if you
attempt to make him drink while squeal-
ing, halter him as you would for cxecu-
ton. AID tie the rope end to stake.
He will pull back until the rope is
tightly strained. When he has ceased
his uproar and begins to reflect, APP
proach him, and between the back part
Of his jaws insert an old shoe, from
which you have cut the toe leather.
This he will at once begin to suck and
chew. Through it pour medicine and
ne will swallow any quantity OF it you
please"
BoRAx water will instantly remove
all soils and stains from the hands and
heal all scratches and chafes. TO make
it, put some crude borax in large bot
tie, and fill with water. When the
borax is dissolved, add more to the
water, until at last the water can alb
sorb no more and o rGslduum remains
at the bottom of the bottle. To the
water in which the hands are to be
washed after gardening, pour from this
bottle enough to make It very Soft. 1t
IS very cleansing and very healthy. BY
its use the hands will be kept in excel
lent condition, smooth and soft and

DAIRY animals are worthy of the best
caro-. A good COW returns her value
every yeaf in milk and butter, and in
some localities the manure almost, if
not quite, pays for her feed. The
richer tho feed, the better the manure.
At any rate, COW Is one of the most
productive of our farm animals, and
tho better she is, the more profitable.
ONLY good cows should be kent. as q
barren tree would be rooted out Of an
orchard, so should a poor COW be dis
carded from the dairy. Every dairy
man or farmer may improve his herd

At New Philadelphia, Ohio, a huge
dog, in attempting to scale high fence
into a yard, missed his calculations and
landed at the bottom of the well, sixty
feet deep. The family thought the
water rather riley next morning,
but could not account for It.
