What is called blind staggers in
mules is caused principally by indigest-
ible food and hard driving in hot wealth.
or. Hard whole corn, then pail OF
water or more on top, after which the
animal is sent quickly to work, cause a
rush of blood to the head and staggers.
Keeping . wet sponge on the top of the
head between the ears will help to ward
off an attack in hot weather. But SOFT
er and more easily digested food, with
a little salt daily, will remove the cause,
which is FAY. better than applying reme-
dies after lu attack MI
The kinds of grass suited for per.
manent pasture depend upon the kind
of soil. Indeed, it is hardly worth while
to try to seed down permanently any

kinds Of grls are best suited; Red1top,
five pounds per acre; creepipgi bent,
five pounds, meadow spear-grass, tour
pounds; fowl meadow-grass, four
pounds; red fescue, five pounds;
meadow fescue, six pounds; tall fescue,
five pounds; meadow oat- grass, four
pounds; crested dogs tail, six pounds;
timothy, six pounds.
Rice Black cap Pudding. -Butter q
pudding basin and stick raisins or prunes
all over the bottom, and pour into the
center > teacupful of dry rice, this guam
tity being sufficient for basin that will

over the basin and plunge it into boiling
water. Boil for an hopr, when it will
turn out nice shape, with the raisins
or prunes covering the top Of the rice,
which form the black cap. 1t can be
eaten with sugar and butter or sirup or
plain pudding sauce, and is'an excellent

There are many ways of preserv.
ing bouquets, some being pretty success;
full in keeping the flowers long time ID
all their beauty. Here is q new method
we have recently met with; perhaps
those of an experimental turn Of mind
will give it q trial. Sprinkle the bou-
quet lightly with fresh water, and put il
in q vase containing soapsuds. Each
morning take the bouquet out of the
suds and lay it sideways in clean water
keep it there a minute or two, then take
it out and sprinkle the flowers lightly
by the hand with water. Replace it in
the suds, and it will remain as fresh as
when first gathered. Change the suds
every three or four days. This method,
it is said, will keep : bouquet bright
and beautiful for at least a month.
