TELL the truth and shame the devil"
I know lots OF people who can shame
the devil easy enuff, but t'other thing
bothers 'em. &.

SOUP A LA L OIGNAN- ONION Soup.
Take six onions; let them brown
slightly in a casserole, with table,
spoonful of butter; add three potatoes
sliced, pepper and salt, not too much,
and let it all cook in two pints of water
for an hour and half; must cook
slowly.
A WRITER in the Country Gentle
man says that of everything he has
tried for cure of roup in fowls, the
best is to take pulverized copperas
and put a teaspoonful in three quarts
of water and give it to them to drink.
Should they not drink much in day
or two, mix it into corn-meal and feed
to them.
IT has been calculated that a single
grain Of wheat produces fifty grains in
one years growth, and if these and sue
ceeding crops be planted and yield pro-
portionately, the product of the twelfth
| year would suffice to supply all the in
habitants of the earth for lifetime; in
twelve years the single grain will have
multiplied itself 244,140, 625, 100000
times-fgures beyond the comprehen-
sion of the average mathematician.
WHEN once you have determined to
fatten an animal for beef let the process
be as quick as possible. Any stint in
feeding at such times will tend to make
the meat tough and dry. Stall-fed AMI
mails will fatten more readily than 9th
ers. and younger animals require richer
food than older ones. In winter fatten-
ing do not forget that much depends
upon the warmth of the stable. The
warmer the cattle are kept the less food
will be needed.
THERE are localities where it may
pay to grow small crops cheaply-where
one may skin the land for few years
and leave it, just as in some places cat
tie have been killed for their hides,
leaving their carcasses to decay-but
farmers cannot afford to adopt this
style of farming. The aim with them
should be to grow larger crops by the
expenditure of more labor upon the
land, and upon doing this depends their
future prosperity.
MANY farmers who keep horses do not
think it profitable to feed much grain,
and frequently feed poor hay. Asa
consequence of such management the &
animals are not worth much for labor.
WheAthe occasion arises for putting
horses thus led at hard work, they are
found out of condition and unable to
perform reasonable task; while in the
spring they require extra feeding for q
few weeks, or else the work must 20 on
with horses unfit for the business. tt
is far better to give the horses little
grain during the winter, when, shouldA
an emergency arise, they are equal y
the occasion; 3st2A
A COUNTRY woman says: "The Wa
man, in enumerating the time and sea-
son. made no mention of the time to
skim milk; yet, nevertheless, there is
time-a right time, too-and that is Just
as the milk begins to sour in the bot
tom of the pans. Then the cream is al
at the surface, and should at once be re-
movcd-with as little of the milk q.
possible. If allowed to remain unit
the acid reaches the cream, it impair;
it in quality. The housewife or dairy
maid who thinks to obtain great
quantity by allowing the milk to stan
beyond that time labors under a mos
egregious mistake"
HERE is an excellent recipe for stain
ing wood dark mahogany, cherry
rosewood color: 1. Boil half poun
of logwood in three pints of water, an
add half an ounce of salt of tartar. -
Boil half pound of madden and
quarter pound of fustic in one gallont
water. 3. Boil one pound of Braz
wood and one ounce of washing soc
in one gallon of water; apply, and THE
brush over it before dry solution
two ounces of alum in one quart
water. With these, wood, if dry, "a;
be stained in the cold, but the dyei1
1 will be accomplished far more quick
and satisfactorily if the liquids are a
piled hot.
MANY persons complain of alwa
getting up tired in the morning. I'll
is very often due to defective venti
ton in the bed clothes and beddn
Feather beds are too soft and yieldir-
and partially envelop the sleeper, th
producing profuse perspiration. Aga
it is common error to suppose that
simply opening window at the toy
room can be ventilated. People for
that for proper ventilation there m
be an inlet as well as an outlet, and
there is a fireplace, it is generf
tightly closed. Again, it is mist
to suppose that foul air goes to the Il
the chief impurity, the carbonic a.

SO effcacious in removing the 10
strata of air as the ordinary firepL =

No WATER that has stood in open
sells during the night should be usec
drinking or cooking. By exposure
