FEED THE Cows Now.@Dairymen
who have cows which have become
thin from being pinched by reason of
the drought,or from any other cause,
cannot do better than commence at
once to put them in thriving condi
ton. 1t is common for dairymen to
suppose that because their cows are
soon to cease giving milk, it is of no
use to feed, SO as to keep them thriv-
ing in the fall. But such supposi-
ton is very erroneous one. 1t will
not only cost more to keep them
through the winter, but they will not
be in condition to produce the
yield they are capable Of doing, if
their bones are projecting, and they
are lacking in strength and vigor in
the spring. When they come in dur
ing the spring, the food which might
otherwise go to make milk, will be
employed to restore the lack of flesh,
and the quality of what milk they do
give will be much inferior, both in
richness and in flavor, to what it
would be, if they were in full flesh
and strength at the start.-National
Liue-Stock Journal, Chicago.

HOUSE, FARM AND FIRESIDE.

BAD BREAD AND udT-
ing from the vast amount of litcra-
ture now extant on matters pertain
ing to housekeeping, and particular
ly on cooking, it would seem that
bad cooks were the exception, and
we'll prepared victuals the rule. Up
on close inspection, we find this not
to be the case. There are innumera-
bic wives who have yet to learn to
bake good loaf of bread Among
large class of women, household
duties are to certain extent repul-
sive, and the cooking and baking is
often left entirely in the hands Of in
competent servants. To be sure, bak-
ing bread, and standing over kitch-
en- stove is very unromantic work,
and so is standing over a servant to
see that it is done properly; but be
it borne in mind that the duties of
selling sugar, standing over a count
er ten hours day, or working in a
shop at bench, or standing over a
set of books, looking over a page of
monotonous figures, is fully as repug-
nant to the taste and INCLINATION of
her husband, as is to her, cooking
and baking. A man who marries
merely for a housekeeper and cook
undoubtedly deserves to be fed on
poor, heavy bread; but surely ''the
most affectionate and unselfish hus-
band in the world has right to ex-
pect his wife to attend to her duties
in the family partnership as thor
oughly alike in humdrum affairs, as
in great ones, as his own.
Wisely wrote DR.. Johnson, "a
man who has no regard for his stom-
ach will have no regard for anything
else" and so wife who does not pay
enough attention to the preparation
Of her cooking and baking is not en-
titled to any affection from her hus-
band. A lady writer in one of the
reviews, who has been giving cook
ing lessons in the West says that fire.
quently bad bread is the occasion of
divorce. Any man who has found
heavy bread before him when expect
ing something to eat will support the
lady's statement. Every prudent
wife well knows that the way to a
mans heart lies through his stomach,
and the best time to ask favor is
just after dinner. When writing to
his lady-love, even intellectual Haz-
lit could say: II never love you so
well as when | think of sitting down
with you to dinner, on boiled scrag
end of mutton and hot potatoes.
It cannot be denied that the ami
NAL in man has been too much neg
lected in many homes, by wives
whose ambition is to be accomplished
in other branches, than as practical
housekeepers and cooks. Good, well
prepared food has much more to do
with mans amiability than is gen
orally supposed.
Every prudent wife knows from
experience the truth of the saying
that bad dinners go hand in hand
with total depravity, while a proper
ly fed man is already half-saved,"
and all experienced wives should be
very careful to gain the accomplish
ment, and do their utmost to avoid a
divorce by learning how to bake
good loaf of bread.

Never iron q calico dress on the
right side: if ironed smoothly on the
wrong side there will be no danger of
white spots and gloss, which gives a
new dress "done up for the first
time the appearance of timeworn
garment.
Do not iron a red tablecloth at all p;
wash it carefully in warm suds mot
hot, rinse well, and, when ready to
hang on the line, take great pains to
pull it so that it will keep the proper
shape. 1t will retain its color much
longer than if ironed.
There is nothing better for cut
than powdered rosin. Pound it I'M
til fine, and put it in an empty, clean
pepperbox with perforated top; then
you can easily sift it out on the cut,
put soft cloth around the injured
member, and wet it with cold water
once in while. 1t will prevent in
famation and soreness.
When striped stockings are washed
and are ready to hang up to dry, turn
them wrong side out; this will pre-
vent the color from running on the
right side and spelling the stockings.
If washed in water that has a little
OK gall in it the colors will not fade
or run. 1t is a cheap liquid to have
in the house, and can be bought rea-
sonably AT any slaughter-house, or of
the butcher, if you ask him to save
them for you.
One use to make of a colored table
cloth which is too much faded to
look well on the table, is to turn it
into crumb cloth. Starch it as
stiff as possible, iron it nicely, keep
ing the edges straight. Instead of
lacking it to the carpet, pin it in
place; then it will be little trouble to
take it up when it needs washing; it
will keep clean for long time. 1t
is a good thing to know this, even if
you have q handsome crumb cloth,as
this can be put down when that has
to be taken up and cleaned.

LONDON, Feb. I'm the House of
Commons last night, VIM. Henry
Smith, conservative, and formerly
first lord of the admiralty, rose to
question of order, and said Mr. Par
nell was one of the eleven members
who had spoken thirty-three times
on motions for adjournment. Mr.
Smith summoned DR.. Playfair to
name Mr.. Parnell as guilty, wfllful
obstruction.
Mr.. Playfair ruled thu a sufficient
case was not made out f~1 such pro-
ceedings.
Mr.. Milbank, conservative mems
ber for Yorkshire, rose to a point Of
order. He said Mr.. Biggar had just
applied to him the epethet of ''fooI'
with a foul prefix.
DR.. Playfair ruled that the express
sion was disorderly.
Another motion for adjournment
having been negatived, Mr.. Big
gar rose on matter of privil-
ege. He said Mr.. Milbank had
crossed the foore of the House and
called him an impudent scoundrel.
Mr.. Biggar denied that he had
called Mr.. Milbank q fool.
Mr.. Milbank said he distinctly
heard Mr.. Biggar use the expression.
DIR. Playfair said it was the duty
of Mr.. Milbank to apologize to the
House for calling NJ. Biggar a
scoundrel, but not to Mr.. Biggar.
Mr.. Milbank then made an apology
in accordance with the decision of
the deputy speaker, the incident
terminated and the House resumed

Minis was greatly trying the patience
of the House he was in order. The

O. m.
10 A. M.-The debate continued
until 8 o'clock this morning, when
the Speaker, who had resumed the

result that the government obtained

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The select
committee of the House on the inter-
oceanic ship canal held a short
session this morning and consumed
the time till the hour Of adjourn
ment in discussion, without arriving
at any conclusion. It was developed
that a majority of the committee
favor the ship railroad scheme of
Capt. Eads, though a wide divergence
of opinion seems to exist as to the
precise manner in which the govern
ment shall be asked to lend it's
countenance and Endorsement. The
committee adjourned till Saturday.
when it is believed that a vote will
be reached upon a definite propo
sition touching the Eads scheme as
opposed to either of the proposed
canals.
