let them remain ABOUT twelve hours.
Take them from the salt, rinse in cold

The best time to water horse, nc.
cording TO the Rurn New Yorker, are
when starting out to work after feeding
in the morning, when only u very little
should be given; on coming in at noon
and in the evening, before unharncss-

Founder. Tho first thing to do is
20 place the horses feet in tubs OF
warm water, then blanket heavily and
get the animal thoroughly warm all
,tagnation OF blood in the feet, caused
by being cooled too rapidly after ex.
hausting labor. The warm water
thins the blood, extends and softens
the blood vessels, and favors increased
circulation. In very bad cases bleeding
in the foot may bc necessary, though
ordinarily it may be dispensed with.
Squash Cakes. Boil the squash
thoroughly in salted water, and, with
masher, after the squash is strained,
make as smooth as possible; half pint
of sifted flour, pint of milk and two
eggs, four tablespoonfuls of white
sugar and a teaspoonful of salt; mix
these all together, having first beaten
up the eggs; add to this last two cup
fuls of the squash; if not thich enough
add little more squash, and beat it all
up until it is smooth; half q teaspoon
full of cream of tartar makes it lighter,
but if the mixture is well fried in small
thin cakes it is light enough as it is.
Eat with powdered sugar.
"A simple and nourishing pudding
may be made in this way: Take half n
cup of sago and quart of water; boil
until the sago is soft, sweeten it to your
taste; beat the yelks of three eggs and

beat the whites of three eggs to still
frost. beating in q tablespoonful of pull
verized sugar; put on the top of the
pudding and set it in the oven to

-Spiced grapes are an excellent sub
stitute for jelly. The Catawba grapes
are especially nice in this way: take
fifteen pounds of grapes, three-fourths
of q cup of vinegar. two ounces of gin
ger root, three teaspoonfuls each of
cloves, cinnamon and allspice; take
the pulp out of the skins and put by
themselves, then let the pulp boil un-
til the seeds separate easily, strain
through colander, rubbing the grapes,
if necessary, to free them from the
seeds; when this is accomplished add
the skins and boil an hour and half
when nearly done add five pounds ol
sugar; seal in glass cans or bottles
There is general impression that
a farmers life is one of the healthicst
of all. And so it is if it be guided by
judgment. But there are hundreds
of farmers and double the number OF
farmers wives and daughters whose
health has been completely broken ur
by too much work. Women on farms
are often oppressed with work. Be
