Raise Good Horses.

Henry Wallace, in the Western Farm
Journal, says: ut is time for our farm
ers to understand that the days Of the
small horses are over, except to drive
to town and for light livery work. They
can not afford either to raise them or to
own them. If they will observe careful
ly they will discover that it costs no
more to keep colt two years than a
calf. and that during these years on
stock keep, the colt will increase in value
great deal faster han the calf.
1--WE do not advise farmers to 80 alto
gether into horse farming or into any
other specially. But along with the
calves and pigs, raise a few good, large
colts, It is unsafe to devote 4 farm to
any one kind of stock. The true wisdom
is to raise some of each, but whatever
you do, raise the best. We have learned
from experience that corn is never so
cheap or grass so plenty that it will pay
to put either into scrub cattle, scrub hogs
or ecrub horses. And the man who
does It when he can help it will soon be
rated az a scrub farmer.".

Don't 9cald the Baby.

A physician says: For the wind in

for their tiresome crying, and for their
restlessness and worrying at night with
which they are afflicted, if the warm
bath were resorted to oftener instead Of
using syrups and worse nostrums, it
would be far better for the children. In
preparing a warm bath for infants, great
care shonId be taken not to have the
water hot. A lady remarks on this sub
ject: "When my child was sick one
night the doctor ordered the hot water
ready. and said it was all right. Just as
she was going to put the child in l said !,
Put your elbow in the water first

Cheese MAKING.

In making small cheese for home use,
the press, though desirable, is not alb.
solutely necessary. Ifa curd is proper.
ly made, it will form itself into cheese
OF good texture, by its own weight. In
molding cheese without pressing, the
hoop should be made of perforated tin,
60 the whey can readily escape, and
should have cover of the same ma
terial, for its top and bottom, shutting
over and outside OF the tin, like the
cover of pill box, and should be only
Just about large enough to hold the curd
to be nodded. A cover is placed upon
the lower end and set on any level
foundation. After standing few min
utes, the hoop js turned quickly upon
the other end, the curd slides down and
makes a smooth surface on what was at
first the upper end. By turning the
hoop a few times while warm. both
ends get an even surface, and then, by
standing still, the curd will permanently
adhere and remain firm when taken
from the hoop. To succeed we'll in
molding cheese without pressing, the
cnrd should be taken from the whey a
little sooner than otherwise, and be
quickly drained and sailed and put into
the hoop quite warm. Cold curd will
not adhere without pressing.-Alnold's

Rnainese Poultry.

In riding about the country one sell
dom sees pure blooded poultry. The
fancy fowls are in nearly every instance
owned by business men. Why is this?
Is it because farmers are lacking in en-
terprise and intelligence? I think the
bottom facts are that q mixed lot of poul-
try proves most profitable, being most
hardy and laying best. Where one
breeds for the one idea of looks" the
tendency evidently is to lessen the egg
production. These are my conclusions
after twenty years experience, in which
time have tested most of the new
breeds as they came along. 1t 10 en-
tirely legitimate for any one to keep
fancy fowls il they have taste in that
direction, and can afford it, as others
keep . fast horse or poodle dog
but the real business hen is not often
the most noted for beauty. Many new
breeds have been introduced; we have
plenty of new poul try magazines press

About the Roses.

ROSE INsEcrs.-Vick's monthly states
that good remedy for the insects which
infest the rose is to syringe both sur
faces with solution of whale-oil soap,
using one pound of the soap to one gal
lon of water. Another remedy is kero-
sene mixed with an equal quantity of
milk, a spoonful of the mixture being
thus stirred in gallon of water for syr-
inging. In q few hours wash off either
of these applications by Swinging with
clear water. Caution is recommended
in the use of carbolic acid on plants, as
it will destroy them if used too freely.
1t is advised to mix few drops in soap
suds made from soft soap, and try its
strength on weeds.
MlLDEw ON RosEs.-A French Journal
gives the simple remedy of Swinging
both the upper and lower sides of the
leaves with a solution of fourth of an
ounce Of salt in two gallons of water
which strikes us rather weak applica-
ton. A stronger wash is made with a
pound of -four sulphur and a pound of
fresh lime in five quarts of water, re-
peatedly shaking the mixture, and then
after settling putting it into well-corked
bottles. For using, gill OF this mixture
is put in three gallons of water and the
plants syringed with it.

Parson Pyne, who used to be settled

of Was hington. lad chronically indis-
posed lady of greatD intelligence and
sweetness of character in his flock. He
used to dread to visit her, so long WAS
the catalogue of ills that she was wont to
unfold before him. OF course he was
expected to sympathize and he dill his
best. But it was WEAKNESS to bis impa-
tient spirit, and at times he found him
self advising numerous doses to the lady
when she had detailed her symptoms
and asked his advice. 1t happened at
last that the parson fell sick and had
long siege oftyphoid fever. When he
had slowly recovered he was in haste to
resume his pastoral work, and deter
mined to visit the sick first. He made
inquiry of a lady parishioner "a to the
inva'ids, and was told that Mrs. Squire,
the lady spoken of above-had been
very sick. Was it her chronic use of
patent medicines? NO." the lady re-
piled, slightly stammering and blnshing.
She believes that Mrs. Squire had a run
of low fever and some other complica-
tions. This was enough. If she had
really been sick she must have the con-
ISOLATION of religion as ION as possible.
Arrived at the lady's house, Parson
Pyne sent in his card, and Mrs: Squire

OLD Time imprisonment for
Debt.

In Thurlow Weeds biography, just is
sued, the old law of imprisonment for
deb: is exemplified by an instance that
came painfully near home to Mr.. Weed:
The present generation, in looking
back to the struggle of our forefathers
for independence, will wonder why
they did not then emancipate the coun-
try from imprisonment for debt.
And yet, up to the year 1882, hard
working men, with families dependent
upon their labor, when by reverses Of
fortune they were unable to pay their
debts, were thrown in company with
felons into prison. Dickens might have
found in any of our county jails materi~
ais as touching as those upon which the
story of Little Dorrit was founded re-
member with a shudder, \ sad and sleep
less night Occasioncd by the incarcera-
ton of my own father, who though
poor man was known to be an honest
one, and for that / eason was enabled to
give bonds that he would remain on
the "gaol liberties" until the debt of
something less than $50 was paid. The
'tlimits'' although combining debtors to
circumscribed bounds in the city or vii
LACE, nevertheless enabled poor men To
obtain work enough to keep the family
from starvation.
Creditors generally kept vigilant
eye upon debtors who were out on bail.
and not infrequently beguiled them
| across the line long enough to enable
the sheriff 10 serve process upon the
bondsman, and thus would secure pay
| ment OF the debt.
Twenty years after imprisonment for
debt was abolished exhumed a remon-
STRANGE against the passage of that law,
signed by the merchants of Albany, and
! representing. among other evils, the de.
struction of confidence, and urging that
it would be impossible for poor men &c
obtain credit.
Time, however, had shown the fallacy
of all these reasonings. Nobody haG
been hurt by the abolition of imDrison
ment for debt, and the Townsends, the
Kings, the Russells, the Cornings, thu
Staffords, etc., etc., to whom l showed
this remonstrance, required the evidence
of their own autographs to convinc.
them that they had ever entertained
views 80 preposterous.

Vines on HOusee.

Vines should always be kept cut down
below the roof. 1t is a little trouble to
do this once year, but we cannot get
even our shoes blackened without some
trouble. Those who know how beauti-
full and how cozy looks a vine covered
cottage will not object to the few hours
labor it requires to keep vines from
stopping up the gutter. Vines really
make a wall dry. The millions of root
let's by which they adhere to the wall
absorb water, and an examination will
prove q vine covered wall to be as "dry
as an old hone" One great advantage Of
vine covered cottage, not often thought
of. is that it is cooler in summer and
warmer in winter then when there ia

Gathering Ferns.

Pressed ferns used for winter decora-
tons are reminder on the cold bleak
days of the pleasant summer time.
There is 80 little of the living season
which we can have in the dead one that
every thing of this kind that brings to
mind shaded hooks, singing birds, run.
ming water, beautiful folisge, and bright
sunshine is greatly priced. Few can af-
ford the luxury of hot-house bouquets,
and empty vases look bare and cherries
through the long winter months.
Now is the time to gather ferns and
grasses. Ferns change as the season ad-
vances, and if they are gathered from
tire to timo there will be variety in COL
or and shade Which will add to their
beauty when arranged. To pr eserve
them perfectly they ought to be pressed
as soon as picked, otherwise they curl
and lose their freshness. If they are
laid between the leaves of an old book
as they are gathered one by one each
will be perfect. If it is not con-
venient to carry book tin box with
cover which will close tightly, will be
found very convenient. The moisture
does not evaporate in this, and ferns or

Alter the ferns have been in book or
between papers under weight for a
day or two, they should be changed and
placed between dry papers. This pre-
vents their turning brown and keeps
them perfect in color.
There are many ways of using ferns,
and of late there has been quite a little
demand for them. The Hartford trail
ing ferns are sold each year and sent all
over the country, and the persons who
quite an income from their business.
There is not, perhaps, the same 1emard
for other ferns, but ferns and dried
grasses are used by florists, and if choice
and preserved carefully, might be sold
to them and 80 furnish pm money for
some who would be glad to earn little
for themselves.
