In self.examinatlon, take no account of
yourself by your thoughts and resolutions
in the days of religion and solemnity, but
examine how it is with you in the days of
ordinary conversation and in the circum-

OYSTER SHELLS FOR LIME.--Oyster
she'll lime is the best for fertilizing purpo-
ses, as 1t is pure and, of course, more val
liable than lime which contains magnesla
and other impurities. The question if it
will pay to haul the shells 10 miles de-
ponds upon circumstances. If the horses
and man would otherwise be idle, it will
then really cost but little to haul them.
and as load of 40 bushels will make so
bushels of lime, which will need no trou
bic to Stake, but can be spread on the land
as they are burned, it will then pay better
to haul load day than to go without.
or buy lime at 8 cents bushel, which is
the usual price. The shells may be burned
very easily in the following manner: First
make bed foot deep of brush wood, cut
and packed as closely as possible; then put
on layer of shells about eight inches
deep; upon this put more wood, and
80 on until large heap is make. Then
cover it with brush and set on fire, and
keep it burning two days by plling on
more brush.

BLoAT IN Cows.-The best rem edy for
bloat is to prevent it by feeding cautious
iy. Some COWS whose digestive power is
weak, suffer from bloating, which is one of
the results of indigestion. To prevent
this, regular course of treatment eelsssuld
be followed. Begin by giving a pint of
linseed oil, and repeat this three times at
intervals of three days. Then mix one
pound of carbonate of soda and one of
salt, four ounces of ground ginger, two
ounces of powdered sulphate of iron, and
give tablespoonful of the mixture night
and morning in little scalded bran. cut
feed, or linseed meal. Care is to be taken
that the COW is not overfed, and only mod
erately watered some time after feeding or
soon before it.

fARM AND PRESIDE.

The "WHY" IN VEGETABLE COOKERY.
Why should beans never be put into cold
water to soak, as is often recommended
Because all the nutritious portion of the
bean is extracted by the process. They
| should be washed in warm water. then in
cold, be tied loosely in clotn, be put into
boiling water, with spoonful of dripping
| and little salt in it, and be kept boiling
four hours. They are then excellent if
served with gravy, and not with melted
butter. They serve as garnish around
roast mutton or beef, and are excellent
eating served whole or as a PURGE. To
make the latter, when the beans are done
throw them instantly into cold water
when the skins will slip off. Rub the beans
through collander, and mix lump of
butter with them. A little stock, or milk,
or crea "a is excellent, mixed in.
Why should plenty Of fast boiling water
be used in boiling vegetables, potatoes ex-
cepted Because the greater the body of
water the greater the heat. If onlya little
water is used the whole affair soon cools,
and the vegetables become tough, so much
so that no length of time will render them
otherwise. Broccoli sprouts in April. ii
properly cooked by boiling them for eight
minutes In boiling water, will be tender as
marrow; but, if not properly done, hours
will not cook them.
Why should onions he always cut in
round and very thin rings? Because the
fiber is thus cut across, and in so cutting
them, whether for frying or for making
sauce, they are rendered very tender when
cooked. With turnips and carrots it is
just the same. neither of these should be
sliced or cut in any other way.
Why should parsley never be boiled with
soda, only boiling water and salt Be-
cause parsley having no oil in it. would be
spoiled with soda and all flavor would be
extracted. All parsley should be picked
free from the stem, BIZ put into plenty of
boiling water with salt, and In summer be
boiled only one minute, and in winter two
minutes, and be strained and chopped on
the back of plate. II only little water
is used in boiling it., the water becomes
brown and the parsley tough and ilI-f1avor-
ed.
Why should vinegar for picking with,
never be boiled? Because boiling takes all
the strength from it. Whatever vegetables
are to be picked should first be made soft
with salt. and vinegar poured over.
Why should two ounces of salt and bit
of washing soda always be put in the water
to boil greens in? Because the salt crisps
the greens and flavor them, and the soda
extracts the oil, which is greatly Injurious
to the digestion.

EARTHING UP POTATOEs.-J, L.. len.
son, Danish agricultural scientist and
experimentalist, has issued a book in
which he claims that earthing up pota-
toes is preventive of disease. He says
those varieties which root deepest are most
free from disease. and that the spores Of
the fungus which causes rot are conveyed
through the atmosphere to the plants. and
can only reach the tubers by being carried
by rains through the earth or by dews
down the main stem of the plant. He re-
commends earthing up potatoes as pro-
lection, saying that, though the yield is
not increased, remarkable freedom from
disease is noticed where the plants are
earthed up as much as they will bear.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

It will be apparent to any one, who will OK anime SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside rom the necessary thickness for engraving and polishing, large proportion of the preciou. metal used, is needed not only to stiffen and hold the engraved portions in place, and sup ply the necessary sNitd,ty and strength. The surplus gold is actually needless so far as uTIL- rrr aud beauty arc concerned. In JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this waSrS of precious metal is overcome, and the SAMg soLtnrry AND STRENGTH produced at nnm one-third to one half of the usual cost of saltd cases. The process is of tho most simple nature, as follows: a plate of nckle compost ton metal, especially adapted to the purpose, has two plates of SOLID GOLD soldered one on eark side. The thrce are then passed between polished steel rollers, and the result is a strip of heavy plated composition, from which the cases, backs, centres bezels, &c., are cut and shaped by suitable dies and formers. The gold in these cases is sufficient to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and enameling the engraved cases have been carried until worn perfectly smooth by time and use without removing the gold.
 THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE WITH TWO PLATES SOLID GOLD AND WARRANT ED BY SPECIAL CERTIFICATE.

Marvellous Cure of Stone in the Bladder Large Stone. Removed by "Ken-

 old Itn nFos EnoJ


 From the Pttsfeld tMass) EagLe.
 Stone in the Bladderis very dangerous aiI, nent; but many most remarkable cures have oi late been wrought by "Kennedys Favorite Reme- dy"-the invention Dr. Kennedy of Ron- dout, \. '. Another striking case is now added to the list. Mir. Peter Lawer, of Dalton, Mass, states in a letter to Dr. Kennedy that he had been troubled with bladder complaint for IA years and had consulted at different times seven physi- eians; but nothing beyond temporary alignment of the pain had been worked. Towards the end of last January MT. Lawler called on Dr. Ken nedy. Sounding him, the doctor "struck stone." He decided that MT. Lawler should first try the "Favorite Remedy" as, if possible, to avoid an operation. And here is the remarkable result: "Dear Doctor Kennedy-The day after came home passed two gravel stones, and am dong nicely now. IT you would like to see the stones I will send them to you" This letter bears date "Dalton, Mass, Feb. 6th," and is signed "Peter Lawler." The stones, which are large as to rant for " "Kennedys Favorite Remedy the claim that it is the most successful specific for Stone yet discovered, are now in Dr. Kennedy's possession. Incidentally Mir. Lawler also states that the " Fav orite Remedy" at the same time cured him of stubborn case of Rheumatism and it is fact that in all affections arising of disorder of the iveror urinary organs it is a searching remedy and works marvellous benefits. It is in itself almost medicine chest. Order it of your druggist. Price sl.00 bottle

A PANTHER SToRY.-Paul du Chaillu could hardly rake up better panther story than the following from the Palatka (Fla.) Herald :-"On Sunday last three colored men were out deer hunting near Whites log camp, back of Rollstown. One of them was at his stand The dogs were heard coming in that direction. Soon there was 8 terrible commotion ill the bushes, the sound coming toward him. The darkey, thinking it was deer, stepped so as to get fair shot, when suddenly tremendous panther con fronted him. Hearing a noise behind he looked round and, to his surprise and horror, saw another ill a tree, which he fired at and killed just as it was ill the act of springing upon him. The other 1m- mediately escat ed, much, as the darkey, says, to his delight. The one they killed measured seven feet, and the negro estl- mates the male to have been twice as large
