--Pimples on the face denote an i'm
proper diet, too much grease, particu-
larry pork and lard, or too much sugar
and salt, or too much pastry, and the
like; and perhaps too little outdoor OK
ercise.

Here is a recipe fora good and sim

Mr.. Hollister says three times a
year Is often enough to go to the mill.
The flour, if packed in paper sacks, will
grow better every day, and better flour
is made from large grists Old flour is
the best because the water has evap-
grated and the flour has become dryer
and stronger. - Cincinnati Commercial.
Mustard owes its pungcncy to a
volatile acid oil which it contains. This
oil is bitter, and the bitterness of fresh
ly mixed mustard is very apparent un-
less certain quantity of salt is added
to it. This removes the bitter flavor.
To every ounce or tablespoonful of dry
mustard add teaspoonful of salt, and
mix with cold water, adding vinegar in
which taragon. dill, or other desirable
flavoring herbs have been stepped. The
French and German mustards are thus
prepared.
-Pickled Onions Peel the onions
and let them lie in strong salt and wa
ter nine days, changing the water each
day; then put them into jars and pour
fresh salt and water on them, this time
boiling hot; when it is cold take them
out and put them on hair sieve to
drain, after which put them in wide
mouthed bottles and pour over them
vinegar prepared in the following man
ner: Take white wine vinegar and boil
| it with blade of mace. some salt and
ginger in it; when cool pour over the
onions.
--Dust-Bath for Fowls. Make box
three or four feet square, one foot high,
and fill two thirds full OF dry road dust
with q half pound of sulphur m Xed in.
Keep barrel or so of the dry dust on
hand to repensh the box with. Pour
| a pan of sifted coal ashes, or wood ash
es without Sitting, into the box occa-
| sionally. When the roads are dry. and
| other work is not pressing, procure n
supply of dust and store it under cover
| for use next winter. Where fowls have
| access to one of these dust boxes they
| are seldom troubled with Lice c. if
| you keep the fowl house reasonably
| clean.
Contracted hoof is the result of a
disease of the inner part of the foot and
absorption or wasting of the internal
tissues. 1t can not be cured bv outward
applications to the horn, and only by
removal of the inward trouble. The
usual treatment is to remove the shoes,
pare the edges of the crust OF the hoof,
and to cause the feet to stand in wet
clay puddle, or turn the horse into q
wet pasture for three or four weeks.
Use hoot dressing of glycerine and
water freely, and finally put on a flat,
thin shoe without any bevel and with
an even bearing over sole of SOLE
leather which presses upon the frog.

Years ago some one asserted that
| oil of pennyroyal rubbed on the hair of
| horses or other animals would repel the
attacks of all kinds of flies, but upon
trial we found it had no such effect; in
fact, the flies seemed to be attracted by
the fragrance of the humble herb. Re-
Gently we noticed that a certain DR..
Ridge, of London, Eng, recommended
carbolic acid and oil for the same pur-
pose, but upon trial during the past
week we could not discover that the
flies were in the least disturbed by this
mixture. Carbolic acid and water as
strong as it was safe to apply to the
kin of horse was tried, the hair
being well soaked with it; but the flies
returned in less than half minute, and,
if anything. in increased numbers. A
safe wash for keeping llies from ami
mails is still wanted. Whowill discover
