POrlS.-The price of pork in this place
is only from So to $3.50, which is very
good for those who have to buy but bad
for those who sell. Many farmers say
they will not sell ut such a low price, but
of course the market here will be ruled by
city prices. Last year pork sold here fer
IS per hundred, but this year u great
quantity was raised for the market, and
the price is low.

SELL ALL TIE OLD SHEEP.-There is no
profit in keeping an old sheep, and just
now is an excellent timeto setrid of them.
Sheep arc shorter lived than most other
firm animals, and almost before one knows
ii some of the best members of the flock
will begin to get Old. Gull them ont and
keep the flock young and fresh. Under
ordinary circumstances six or seven years
Is probably the limit of 4 sleeps life. If
separated from the flock now and given q
run Of good pasture with a very little
grain, they will soon be in condition for
market and can be disposed of TO better
advantage than later in the season.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

How TO MILK.-A mixer should learn
to milk quickly. Slow milking will ruin
any cow, and there is little doubt that
many COWS are made improbable by bad
milking. As soon as the flow of milk be-
gins 1t should be drawn rs rapidly rs pos
sble. Stripping with the finger Snd
thumb is bad practice, and should he
unlearned ut once, and the whole hand
used to milk with. BY pcrseverimg one
will soon be able to milk every short teat
if the hand is moderately small. The best
mixers have small hands; strength Of
wrist will come in time.
CREAM CANDY.-Placc large cupful Of
white sugar, granulated is the best, in
porcelain kettle, with three tablespoons
full of water, AMI let it dissolve ut the
back of the stove, then set it forward,
and let boil until it will crisp in water.
Stir in a teaSpoonful of rose or vanilla
extract and half 4 teaspoonful Of cream
of tartar, pour it into 4 buttercd pan or
platter, and when cool work it until it is
perfectly white, cut it into little squares
and set it away to dry.

Health OF Farmers.

A formidable antagonist to tue

ner of living. Far too many sell
the best food aud keep the poorest
for their own tables.
While the mechanic may use
more pastry than the farmer, it ia
probable that the fare Of the farmer,
on the whole, is more unwhOlesome
than that Of the average. consisting
more of the heavier and grosser
kinds, as pork, cabbage, sausages,
hams and the like. Compared with
beef, pork is very Objectionable, not
only on account OF it's indigestibili'

This fact-vouched for by the swine

with some dramatic points: Among
the criminal cases reported from the

merchant of Toulouse, who in 1765,
being heavily in debt, bought the
corpse of a man resembling himself,
dressed it in his own clothes, locked
it up in his vacant chateau and
