FARM AND PRESIDE.

Examine your bushes for insects,
and endeavor to destroy as many of
them as possible.
Ventilation, and plenty of it at this
season is very essential. not only in the
stables, but also In the barn.
Continue to improve your stock,
make it better every year, and ten to
one your soil viii follow suit. Il Chicago
Journal.
Color taken out of dark colored
goods with acid may be restored by the

Bad cookery in short is working
as much mischief as bad whisky, and
is doing more to perpetuate the use of
the latter than is generally supposed. =

Giving salt to animals Is often neg
lected, and yet it is as important as
watering or feeding. for upon it de-

The Rural World says that it is one
of the few facts that are patent to all
who know anything of the business that
by the creamery system the hogs that
may be raised from the SKINNED milk,
after the cream has paid higher price
than the butter made thereof, will pay
all the expenses of a dairy farm save
only the feed.
Half dollar in the value of each
ton OF hay made can be easily made or
lost by the difference in the time of cut
ting and the manner of curing. This
may seem a small amount to the indi
vidual farmer, but in the aggregate it
makes difference of 5000, 900 for or
against the farmers. the value of the
hay crop being exceeded only by that
of corn and wheat. Prairie Farmer.
Horns are weapons of oilense: their
absence denotes domestieity and docili-
ty; consequently thrift, productiveness
and fertility. Their absence insures
comfort and convenience in handling,
yarding, stabling, feeding and ship
ping. Their absence insures against a
large proportion of the casualties on a
stock farm. This is the experience of
nearly all who have handled polled cat
tie. and there are facts, to deny which
lis to call white black. Massachusetts

delicious fritters may have stale
bread for the foundation; if care is
taken in removing any or all of the
crust that is dark brown fritters will be
light colored and very inviting in APP
pearance. Eggs are good addition in
the proportion of four eggs to one quart
of sweet milk; saltspoonful of salt,
and four or flve slices of bread are also
required The bread should be soaking
in the milk for two hours. 1t can be
broken into small bits, and then it will
not be lumpy.-M Y. Post.
Nothing is more distressing to a
sick person, who is not quite i'll enough
to fill up all worldly thoughts, than to
have the doctor at his morning call find
the room disarranged and the patient
in a night dress, not fresh and neat in
appearance. 1t should be the first care
of the one in charge of the house to
see that this state of things shall not
exist. As long as the room must be
attended to at some time during the
day, why not do it when the greatest
amount of comfort would result from
it?-Detr0H Post.
