1t may be that cutting and shaving
may for the time increase the action OF
the growth, but it has no permanent
effect either upon the hair-bulb or the
hair-sac, and will not in any way add
to the life of the hair. On the contrary,
cutting and shaving will cause the hair
to grow longer for the time being, but
in the end will inevitably shorten its
term of life by exhausting the nutritive
action of the hair-forming apparatus.
When the hairs are frequently cut they
will usually become coarser, often los
ing the beautiful gloss of the fine and
delicate hairs. The pigment will like
wise change-brown, for instance, be-
coming chestnut, and black changing
to dark brown. In addition, the ends
of very many will be split and ragged.
presenting brush-like appearance. II
the hairs appear stunted in their growth
upon portions of the scalp OF beard, or
gray hairs crop up here and there, the
method of clipping off the ends of the
short hairs, of plucking out the ragged,
withered and gray hairs, will allow them
to grow stronger, longer and thicker.
Mothers, in rearing their children,
should not cut their hair at GER
tain periods of the year During
the superstitious period of full
noon, in order to increase the
length and luxuriance as they bloom into
womanhood and manhood. This habit
of cutting the hair of children brings
evil in place of good, and is also CON
demned by the distinguished wo ker in
this department. Professor Kaposi, Of
Vienna, who states that it is well known
that the hair of women who possess
luxuriant locks from the time of girl.
hood never again attains its original
length after having once been cut.
Pincus has made the same observation
by frequent experiment, and he adds
that there is general opinion that fire..
quent cutting of the hair increases its
length; but the effect is different from
that generally supposed. Thus, upor
one occasion he states that he cut of
circles of hair an inch in diameter on the
/ heads of healthy men, and from week tc
week compared the intensity of growth
of the shorn place with the rest of the
hair. The result was surprising to this
close and careful observer, as he found
in some cases the numbers were equal
but generally the growth became slower
after cutting, and he has never observed
an increase in rapidity.
[ might also add that 1 believe many
beardless faces and bald heads il
middle and advancing age are often due
to constant cutting and shaving in early
life. The young girls and boys seer
daily upon our streets with their closely
cropped heads and the young men will
their clean-shaven faces are year by
year by this fashion having their hair

Transcript.
The old practice of feeding COWS
every three hours, giving the last feed
just before retiring at night, has been
very generally abandoned. Now the
most successful farmers feed only
morning and night. The whole morn
ing or evening feed is not put before
them at one time, because experience
has taught that it is best to put before a
COW small quantity at one time, add
ing more as soon as it is eaten up, so
that the morning and evening meals
are made up Of several small feeds,
perhaps of different materials. Y

Points in Butter Making.

A correspondent of an English agri-
cultural journal remarks that there are
three things which affect the taste of
butter and its capacity to keep-the
food of the COW, the method of setting
the milk and the system of making.
In England butter is made from lop-
pered or soured cream, and this system
is still taught, but is radically wrong.
1t is never so sweet as when made from
separated cream or purely sweet new
cream. Bad heritage or food of other
kinds must affect the taste. A damp
dairy exposed to drains or smells also
affects its quality in vital manner.
But the method of making has also much
to do with the quality and quantity.
In various countries in Europe where
the district is famed for sweet butter,
everywhere the makers treat their sub
ject as an art, and reap results accord
ingly. When everything is ready, and
the cream well stirred, it should be
poured into the churn, its temperature
being about fifty EIGHT degrees, or from
this to siXty-one degrees, and to test it a
thermometer should always be used. If
the dairy is degree or two below these
figures the cream will be all right; if it
is too low the cream may be removed to
warmer apartment until it has reached
the required temperature. Some people
add warm water, but it is dangerous to
raise the temperature suddenly or too
many degrees at once. Small churns
are sometimes placed in pans of hot
and cold water, according to the sea-
son, but in summer very early mornings
will always be found the best for churn-
ing. Very cold water or ice should
never be added, for the temperature
excited is not then regular. The cream
being, regular, churning should COM
mence, and whether. it be hand, horse,
or steam power, the action should be
regular, say forty-fve revolutions q
minute. At first the churn should be
ventilated few times, or it will take
longer in coming, that is, unless the
churn is self-ventilating 1t is best to
use those which, like the barrel or the
swing, act upon the whole of the cream
at once, instead of only a part. Hence
small beaters or dashers are objection
able. A churn should never be filled
too full; it may be used for o small
quantity, but never for an extra large
quantity of cream, and if half filed,
and no more, will do very well. What
ever the churn, the butter takes longer
to come at some seasons of the year
than at others, while sweet cream
churns quicker than sour cream, and
clothed cream much quicker than either

A VETERAN SOLDIER.

Mr.. G. F. BowLEs, of No. "a Common Street, Lynn,
Mass, says:
while in the army at the battle Of spottsylvania,
Ifel while getting rail-fence and badly In
1ured and left for dead, but after time was picked
up by comrades; and upon examination it was found
that my back badly hurt and my kidneys seriously
injured and have suffered the most excrucating pain
since, and could obtain relief although treated by
several physicians and had given up all hope Of get
ting help when 1 recommended to use Hunts
Remedy. Ipurchased several bottles at one Of our
drug stores in Lynn, and began to it as directed
and attend to business and am free from the
pains formerly had and wish to say to my friends
and comrades that Hunts Remedy will do all that is
claimed for It, andis worthy of all praise You
