One ounce of salycilic acid is suf-

The habit of chewing gum, COM
mon among children, is Objectionable
because it tends to separate the gums
from the base of the teeth and exposes
the sensible portions of the teeth to the
air, makes the teeth prone to decay
and, furthermore, induces an unnatural

The question of narrow vs.. broad
tires for wagons is again being dis
cussed in various parts of the country.
There seems to be many good reasons
why the broad tire is preferable for Or
binary farm work. A team will haul
heavier load on soft ground, and can be
driven where a narrow tire cannot be
used The subject is very interesting
one.
Corn and oats ground up together
afford an excellent feed for horses, if
the mixture be fed with hay, or wheat
straw, the latter furnishing the requi-
site bulk. Ten pounds of this mixed
grain with twenty pounds of cut straw
will make three fair rations or one days
feed for an average horse having mod
crate exercise.

is said cut 100 tons to the acre. The
| French have. mode peculiar to them
selves. They dig deep trenches in the
ground and bury the green corn after

Copper Utensils: These should
be used for culinary purposes unless
they are thoroughly protected by coat
! ing of tin, and when this begins to wear
off they should be at once recoated.
This the copper or tinsmith can do at
any time. Kettles of brass, which is an
| alloy of zinc and copper, may, when
scrupulOusly clean and polished, be
used in preparing sauces and sweet
meats, but hot mixtures should not be
| allowed to cool or remain in them.
Porcelain-lined or graniteware utensils
have all the advantages of brass and
copper vessels, with none of their dis
I advantages. u. Tribune. .s-Ja i1@4
