Take Care of YOur Horses.

1. Never allow allow any one to tease
or tickle your horse in the stable. The
animal only feels the torment and does
not understand the joke. Vicious hab-
its are thus easily brought on.
2. Never beat the horse when in the
stable. Nothing SO soon makes him per-
manently vicious.
8. Let the horses litter be dry and
clean underneath, as well as on top.
Standing on hot fermenting manure
makes the hoofs soft, and brings on
lameness.
4. Change the litter partially in some
parts, and entirely in others, every morn
ing; and brush out and clean the stall
thoroughly.
5. To procure a good coat on your
horse naturally, use plenty of rubbing
and brushing. Plenty of ''elbow grease
opens the pores, softens the skin. and
promotes the animals general health.
6. Never clean horse in his stable
The dust fouls the crib, and makes him
loathe his food.
z. Use the curry-comb lightly. When
used roughly it is a source of great pain.
s. Let the heels be well brushed out
every night Dirt, if allowed to cake in,
causes grease and sore heels.
8. Whenever a horse is washed, never
leave him till he is rubbed quite dry.
He will probably get chill if neglected.
10. When a horse comes off a Jour.
ney, the first thing is to walk him about
till he is cool, if he is brought in hot.
This prevents his taking cold.
II. The next thing is to groom him
quite dry; first with wisp of straw. and
then with a brush. This removes dust.
dirt and sweat, and allows time for the
stomach to recover itself, and the appe-
tite to return.
u. Also let his legs be well rubbed
by the hand. Nothing so soon removes
a strain. 1t also detects thorns or spin
tiers. soothes the animal, and enables
him to feed comfortably.
IS. Let the horse have some exercise
every day. Otherwise, he will be liable
to fever or bad feet.
IA. Let your horse stand loose, il
possible, without being tied up to tho
manager Pain and WEAKNESS from {
confined position induce bad habits, anC
| cause swollen feet and other disorders
Is. If the horse remains in stable, hi:
feet must be . stopped" Heat and dry
ness cause cracked hoofs and Iameness
16. The feet should not be - stopped
| 0ftener than twice week. twill make
the hOofs soft, and bring on corns.
II. Do not urge the animal to drink
water which he refuses. 1t is probably
| hard and unwhOlesOme.
IS. Never allow drugs to be admins

| edge. They are not needed to keep the
animal in health, and may do the great
est and most sudden mischief. ValeR

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

"A good Weld of cranberries at Cape
Cod is a hundred barrels per acre. Sin
yle rods have yielded over a barrel, at
the rate of nearly two hundred barrels
per acre.
Cup cakes can be varied by cutting
them in two or three thin slices and fill

California papers report the very
best of prospects for agricultural work
during the present year. There has
been a very large increase in acreage,
and revival of interest in every branch
Of the livestock business.
The statement that Texas has 4, 6O0,-
900 sheep is claimed to be reliably made.
Then " this will probably be increased
twenty per cent. during the coming
up to $500, 900. Valuing these at 81. so

sheep in Texas $13, ,O00
An excellent way to warm a roast
of beef is to put it in kettle, and cover
the meat with very thin slices of onions.
Scatter pepper and salt over them, put
in lump of butter, and just enough
water to keep the meat from burning;
let it warm slowly on the back part of
the stove, and then move it forward
and let the onions cook.
Most of the pretty plaques of wood
so much used to paint on have no rings
on the back, and consequently cannot
be hung on the wall. To remedy this
get a curtain ring; through this put a
loop of ribbon or thin cloth and paste
or glue this loop 80 the back of the
plaque. Be sure to have il exactly in
the center, and do not try to hang it up
until it is perfectly dry.
"A delicious fish sauce is made of
half a cup of butter, one tablespoonful
of parsley chopped very fine, a little
salt and pepper, and the juice of two
small lemons, or of one large one.
Warm the butter little so that you can
easily beat it to cream, then mix with
the other ingredients, putting the pars-
ley in last, just before sending it to the
table.
An excellent plan to save old nap-
| kins and table-cioths is to cut out the
| good parts and put them away in bag,
| appropriately labeled, and have them
| ready for use in case of sickness. A
| housewife whose system is so complete
| that it is hard to believe that she has
| lived on earth only about forty wears
! gives this advice, and she says also that
we should keep another bag with pieces
of flannel, and another with old cotton
cloth, for the same purpose.
"A correspondent of the Ohio Farm
err has discovered a remedy for the
worms that play so great havoc among
currant bushes. The ordinary black
ant is an inveterate enemy of the cur
rant worm. He encourages ant colonies
near the'bushes, and the result has been
that while his neighbors had few or nc
currants, his crop was abundant. AT
one time he took pains to destroy the
ants. This is another instance of the
necessity of a knowledge of the habits Of
insects to the fruit-grower and to agri-
culturists in general.

Ice Tor Teetning Children.

The pain CT teething may be almost
done away, and the health of the child
benefited, by giving it fine splinters OF
ice, picked off with a pin, to melt in its
mouth. Tie fragment is so small that
it is but drop of warm water before it
can be swallowed, and the child has all
the GOODNESS for its feverish gums with
out the slightest injury. The avidity
with which the little things taste the
cooling morsel; the instant quiet which
succeeds hours of fretfulness, and the
sleep which follows the relief, are the
best witnesses to this magic remedy.
Ice may be fed to three months child

than common pin, for five or ten min.

No matter how useful anything may be in

of the largest enterprises in our midst Among
others whose testimony was freely given was
W. II. Stearns, Esq, Master Mechanic Of the
Conn. River Railroad, residing at No. % BoYls-

had remarkable effect among the men en-
ployed here. One Of them jammed his arm
very badly and by the use of St. Jacobs Oil
was greatly benefited, and the arm was healed.
Another used it for severe rheumatic pains in

close of long article says: In fact st. Jacobs
Oil is pushing all other remedies out of the
field, and, excellent though some of the. lini-
ments formerly offered are, the efficacy Of ST.
Jacobs Oil is magical in cases Of sciatica, rheu-
matism, pleurisy, neuralgia, nervous head
ache, Iumbago and scores of other disorders
while in the case of sprains, burns or injuries
it is an absolute panacea, and for general use
is better than the advice of many physicians.

There is no difference among the
people of this land as to what they want
done with lygamy-stamped out, at
all costs. And there is a straight and
simple way of doing ito deal with it
in Utah exactly as everywhere else, by
statute and criminal procedure, treating
each individual without the slightest
reference to his associations or appeals
to religious beliefs; and to execute the
laws, if need be, by the entire force Of
the United States. If there be difficulty
in obtaining evidence of a marriage GER
emory, proceed on the principle adopt
ed in this State, that the act of living
together as man and wife establishes
the relation in the eye of the law. And,
If this does not avail, declare the Nor
mon community a nuisance, and in a
state of outlawry, to be broken up like
a nest of serpents or malaria. The spec
tacle is pitiable and scandalous, that this
thing should go on in defiance of law,
government and public sentiment
