"A balky driver makes balky
horse. In breaking in colts, the trainer
should never lose his temper. A firm
hand and gentle manner will bring any
colt, however spirited it may be, into
subservienoe to the driver. The ami
NAL must be made to rely entirely upon
Its master. 1t cannot be made to do so
by brute force. The same means should
be used as with child.
Cutting a Hedge. "A young hedge
of Usage orange or honey locust should
not be cut until II is two or three years
old, not, indeed, until the shoots are
one or two inches thick, when they
should be cut even with the earth in the
winter time, and the following year
they will throw up luxurious mass of
sprouts, which may be trimmed into
shape the next June, and before fall we
have a complete, impenetrable fence.
-Cranberries. Wash and pick over
quart of cranberries. Put them in a
porcelain lined saucepan or an earth

them on the back of the range and let
them stew very slowly for two hours
without stirring. When turned out to
cool every cranberry will be found
plump and whole, and imbedded in
firm, ruby colored Jelly.

hew. Through it pour medicine and he
yill swallow any quantity you please.'
