CHARCOAL powder is good for pol
blades. 1t is also good tooth powder
when finely pulverized.
EXTRACTED honey is much more
healthful for children to eat than comb
honey. The wax eaten with the honey
is very indigestinle. It'clogs the stom-
ach and constipates the bowels.

WHEN A HORSE SHOULD DRINK.-It
is best TO give horse water before
giving oats. The water stays in the
stomach very short time. but is very
quickly absorbed or passed into the
bowels, where it is absorbed and goes
into the blood. The horse secretes a
very large guautity-more than four
quarts-of saliva while eating a meal.
which is sufficient to reduce the food to
a pulp suitable for its digestion. So
that to give water soon after eating, eN-
cept in very email quantity, would be
apt to cause Indigestion and waste of
the food by excessive dilution.-M. y.

IT is a small matter to take the horses
across the field for their water; it seems
to cost nothing, yet if farmer time,
or that of his hired man, is worth any,
thing, it costs great deal in the course
OF a year. 1t is a small matter to chop
each days wood upon the day it is
used, and thus have it all fresh; but
fifteen minutes in harvest time is worth
more than in January; besides, there
are vastly more economical methods of
making fire wood than with an Ak. 1t
is very little matter to tighten loose
nut, but it sometimes costs lie and
limb not TO do it. A pear tree here
and peach tree there cost SO little
that one is inclined to think they are of
no account, but when the fruit is ripe
they are appreciated. A single step
from one room to another is ''only one
STEP" but the thought of stairway
made out of these steps during lie
time is enough to almost make wo-
mans back ache. Look well to the de-
tails, that the little things are right. for
