HOUSE AND FARM.
A Few Farm Notes.

The Mark Lane Cypress Iondon> re-
marks upon the fact that there is not ain
gle GARNER in the United States House of
Representatives.
Ex- Commissioner LIE Duo lays il down
as rule that persistent cultivation of a
staple crop will bring the sheriff into any
county that relies on it. General farming
and rotation of crops is what he recon-
mends.
One Of the best and safest remedies for
worms in pigs or horses is turpentine. The
dose is two ounces for q horse and from
one dram to half an ounce for plg. ac-
cording to its size. The medicine il hest
given in linseed- oil, using about eight times
the quantity Of the turpentine. For worms
in the lower intestines the oil and turpen-
tine may be given as an injection. It
should be repeated for three days, at inter-
walls of one week, for three or four weeks.
Professor Law, of Cornell University.
says the London Mark Lane Express find
ing the cream on his milk ropy, ex-
amined it with a microscope, and found
it infested with living organisms. On in.
vestigation, he found that the herd from
which his supply came drank the water of
stagnant pool located in muddy swale.
The same was detected by microscope ex-
animation of the blood of the COWS.
In hulling corn the outer husk only is
removed, and this contains the least nutri-
tious part of the grain. The process of
hulling is as rollows; A lye is made of
caustic potash or lime-either will do
strong enough to float the corn; the corn is
stepped in this for twelve hours, when the
husk is found to be swollen and loosened;
the lye is then poured off and clear water
is poured in; the corn is then stirred with
stick violently, and the husks are loosened
from the grain and foated off. I've of
common wood ashes it sometimes used, but
only very small quantity of this will be re-
CURED. otherwise, if made too strong, the
grain itself will be softened.
When the eyes become very painful in
the disease known as "pink eye" it would
be we'll to apply cold water in which few
drops of wine or opium are mixed. This
may be injected into the eye and cloth
kept wetted with the liquid may be hung
over the eye. The horse should be kept in
the dark, as the light is very painful to the
very te:der and infamed nerves and men,
branes. Four drains of bromide of potas-
sum may be given to the horse with bene-
fit when the eyes are very painful, and the
| dose may be repeated in few hours, if

New York Tribune: There is lamenta-
ton in England over the fact that, de-
pressed by foreign competition, the native
Saeesemakers have allowed the quality of
their products to deteriorate. Fancy con-
| inental cheese of delicate quality and
favor are now found in every English ho-
tel and on thousands of private tables
NH only, oh fhoy
known. Meanwhile Americans are paying
| round prices for imported cheeses which
were made in this country, sent abroad and
returned with the English stamp. Verify

The Id!epess Of Girls.
The great mistake that many of our girls
are making and their mothers are either
| encouraging or allowing them to make, is
| that OF spending their time out Of school
| in idleness or in frivolous amusement, do
| ing no work to speak of, and learning moth.
| ing of the practical duties and serious cares
of life. It is not only in the Weather
families that girls are growing up incident
and unpraeti ed in household work; in
deed, think more attention is paid to the
industrial training of girls in the Weather
families than in the families of mechanics
and people Of moderate circumstances
where the mothers are compelled to work
hard all the while "Wihia the list week.
says one Of my correspondents, Il have
heard two mothers, worthy women in most
respects, say, the first, that her daughter
never did any sweeping" Why, if she
wants to say to her companions, I never
.wept a room in my life, and takes com.
fort in it, let her say it: and yet the mother
ia sorrowing over the shortcomings Of tina
very daughter. The other sale
she would not let her daughter de
anything in the kitchen. Poor, deludei
woman! She did it herself instead. The
habits of Incidence and of helplessness
that are thus formed are not the creates
evils resulting from this bad practice; thu
sslfshness that it fosters is the worst thing
| about it. How devoid of conscience, how
| lacking in true sense Of tenderness, Of
even Of Justice, girl must be who will thu:
consent to devote all her time out O.
school to pleasuring, while her mother ii
bearing all the heavy burdens Of tn
household! And the foolish way in which
mothers themselves sometimes talk abou
this, even in the presence of their chill
dren, is mischievous in the extreme. ooh
Hattie is so absorbed with her books, or he
crayons, or her embroidery that she take
no interest in the household matters and
do not like to call upon her." AS if tn
daughter belonged to superior order O.
beings and must not soil her hands or 1ufh
her temper with necessary housework
The mother is the drudge; the daughter is
fine lady for whom she tolls. No mother
who suffers such state of things can pre-
serve the respect Of her daughter-ant
the respect of her daughter no mothe
can afford to lose. The result of this is tt
form i'll the minds Of many gifted girls no
only a distaste for labor, but con
tempt for it and a purpose to avoid i
as long as they can live by some mean
or other.
