herb tarraEon can be obtained in the
market, and TO make tarragun vinegar
for home uss is exceedingly easy. Take

real profit arising from farming consists
i'm the attention to details. He who
looks closely after small things is the
one who finds farming pays. for neg
lect in small things leads 20 careless
ness in large ones. Ii is the last item
which is added to any given product
that Yields the profit" Yet it is not
always advisable to strike for the largest
crop which q piece of land can be
made to produce. for the exhaustion Of
the soil may be so great rs to more
than counterbalance the value secured.

BoRAx.-Lady readers who have not
tested the magic properties of borax
have been losing a great help and COM
fort. If once used, you will v be

move stains and dirt from the hands
better than soap, and at the same time
softens and smoothes the skin. 1t is
splendid for washing the hair. and will.
without injury, cleanse brushes and
combs in a few moments. For wash
ing purposes it saves both soap and
labor. 1t will extract the dirt from
articles of delicate texture without rub
bling, it being only necessary to put the
articles to soak with a solution OF boraX
over night, and need only to be rinsed
in the morning. Two tablespoonfuls
of ~pulverized borax dissolved in a quart
OF water, 10 which water enough is
added to cover a pair of blankets, will
cleanse them beautifully. 1t also saves
great labor in washing paint. 1t is
said to drive away ants and reaches, if
