THERE is one matter concerning the
feeding OF cows which is rarely if
ever thought OF by dairymen, and that
is over feeding the animals. Over
feeding preducts indigestion. No other
animal has so sweet breath as a COW
when her stomach is in a perfectly
healthy condition; but if she is over
fed, so that, in place of digestion, de-
composition takes place, then her
breath is charged with offensive gases
and the milk decreases in quantity ,ac-
quiring a flavor neither desirable in
Lutter nor in cheese. It not unfre-
quently happens that some weed or
other in :he hay is charged with the
evil, Wien the zeal cause is over feed
ing.

FoR preserving fresh meats IN warm
weather: To SIX pounds OF salt add
one pound of brown sugar, two ounces
of saltpeter, three ounces of saleratus,
and half pound of finely powdered
charcoal. Dissolve in sufficient water
to cover the meat two inches with
brine, pack close and weight down.
Sufficient for fifty pounds of meat. By
soaking the meat in cold water few
hours before using it will add to its
freshness.

TEA CosIEs.-The newest of these
are in four pieces, and made of black
or colorsd satin, with design on each
of the pieces. Myrtle leaves and
flowers are much liked on black.
Frequently the design is hand painted
the flowers only being embroidered.
Cesies of the T. sual shape have the top
and upper part of the sides lett open.
filed in with puff of satin. The puff
may be of a contrasting color, as red
with black a dark blue with gold. When
a puff Of satin is inserted it should stand
uptwo or three inches, and the sides are
little drawn together by an invisible
thread to keep them in place. Among
effective and popular decorations are
lilies of the valley tied with bow, a
cherub perched across the brown stalk
of a cluster OF cherries, beetles with
real wings sewed on, or large butter
flies. These may all be done in diff
ferept colored silk, or hand painting
may be used in combination.

DOMESTIC.

MANY people have an idea that nne-
ly favored oish must cost great deal.
That is a mistake. If you have un-
tainted meat, or sound vegetables, or
even Indian meal. to begin with, you
can make 1t delicious with proper sea-
soning. One reason why French
cooking is much nicer than any other
variety Is that it is seasoned with a
greater variety of herbs and spices.
These cost very little. II you would
buy a Few cents worth at time you
would soon nave a good assortment.
The best kinds are sage, thyme, tar
rsgOn, sweet majOram, mint, sweet
basil, parsley, bay leaves, cloves, mace,
celery seed and onions. If yod Will
plant the seed of any of these first
mentioned in little boxes on your win
dow sill, or In sunny spot in the
yard, you can generally raise all you
need. Gather and dry them as toi-
lows: Parsley and tarragon should be
dried In June and July, just before
towering; mint in June and July,
thyme, marjoram and savory in July
and August; basil a I'd sage in Aug gust
and September. ALL herbs should be
gathered In the sunshine and dried by
artificial heat; their flavor is best pre-
served by keeping them in air-tight
tin cars or in tightly corked glass
bottles.

AGRICULTURs.

DoS-T SCARE THE COLTS. In utter
ing this injunction we mean far more
than merely ID syoid frightening the
colts lest they run against the fence
and hurt themselves. We mean far
more, also, than merely TO avoid max
ing them wild and tirnid. although
both these dangers are imminent, and
Justify careful avoidance, In all anil
NAL life the inherited habits OF action
may be greatly neutralized or grea ly
strengthened by cultivation. Tbls
cultivation begins when the foal stands
up and sucks, and when it is six weeks
old the education may be somewhat
regular and methodical. Ii you are
breeding running horses, encourage
the colt 10 extend himself al gallop,
for that is what you want him TO DO In
future; but il you are breeding trot-
tiers, encourage the colt 10 extend him
self al a tot, for that Is what you
want him to do in future-rear him, If
you can without knowing that there is
such a gait as the gallop.
Ii you have a young hound dog
that you intend specially tor the pur-
suit of the fox, you Will not allow him
10 strike out on every rabbit trail he
may come across. II you indulge him
once he is so much harder TO restrain
the next time, and If you let him have
his own sweet Will in chasing all the
little ground game in the DeIghbor-
hood, he will be of no use as fox dog.
The dog had the inheritence and he
would have been all right IL he had
not been ruined in his education. SO
il is with the trotting bred colts in the
field. Every time you scare up one
and make him gallOp, it is the dog Oh
on a rabbit trail. You iDjure the colt
in driving him out OF the gait for
which he was bred, and to which his
instincts led him TO adhere. In the
end We will reach the colt that will
not know bow TO gallop; but as a
means 10 that end We must stop max
ing the colts do the very thing we don't
want them TO do.
