Brittle HoOf.

An English paper states that brittle
ness of the hoof is usually produced by
inflammation, but it is too often caused
by the injudicious practice of greasing
the hoofs and neglect in washing them.
Living horn contains large proper
ton in water, which is necessary to
preserve its softness and elasticity.
When the water is driven out by the
heat of Inflammation, or by the use of
grease, tar or oil, the horn is dry, brittle
and tender, and the hoofs break. The
horn is also subject to a change by rea-
son of diseased secretion, and becomes
soft and then powders. In all these
cases the cure is slow, because the char
acter of the horn cannot be changed
excepting the new growth. Horn is
precisely of the same composition as
hair, and practically is nothing more
than hair fiber in solid mass, and, like
hair, is produced and proceeds from
secreting glands which exist in the
skin. To change the character of the
horn, therefore, it is necessary to wait
for the new growth, and to avoid in
luring this by improper treatment.
Brittle hoofs should be treated by fire.
quent washing in warm water. and rub
bling them with glycerine mixed with
an equal part of water, but no grease
or oil, or tar should be used.

Household Hints.

A NICE loaf cake is made of one-hai
cup of butter, one and half of sugar
one of sweet milk, two of flour, one tea
spoonful of soda, the whites of foul
eggs. Flavor with rose or almond
A DELICIOUS dish for dessert is mad,
of six sweet oranges, peeled and sliced
one can of pineappfes and one grated
cocoannt. Arrange in slices in glas,
dish, with plenty of powdered sugar be
tween.
VERY nice batter for a baked pudding
is made by melting one large table
spoonful of butter, beat three eggs very
light, warm two cupfuls of milk, put tht
butter with it, remove from the fire
add the eggs, pinch of salt and on,
cupful of flower. Pour this over frui
laid in the pudding dish. Bake in
quick oven.
IT will interest good housekeepers tt
know that oil marks on papered WALL
against which thoughtless persons
have laid their heads may be removed
by making paste of cold water ant
pipe clay, or fuller's earth, and laying
it on the surface without rubbing it on
else the pattern of the paper may be in
lured. Leave the paste on all night
In the morning it may be brushed of
and the spot may have disappeared
though renewal of the operation MAJ
be needed if the oil spot is old.
A DAINTY way to make chocolate is t.
set an earthen pot into kettle of boil
ing water, in the pot quart of milk
and cream mixed. Stir into this whe1
it is hot, paste made by mixing three
heaping tablespoonfuls of grated choc
olate with little cold milk. Let THU
boil for two or three minutes and serve
hot. If the chocolate is sweetened, i
is better not to add sugar, but let eacl
one add it at the table if it is not swee
enough; but if the unsweetened choco
late is used, two desert spoonfuls may
be put in while it is cooking. Cream
is the greatest possible addition.
ALMOST every woman that has KEEP
house for several years has stair carpe
that is badly worn; in many cases it i.
worn out with the exception of the Dor
der. This may be used with good eff
feet. After it is carefully cleaned, cu
the border off, leaving the margin cen
ter part for seam, then use this fol
the border of mats made of pieces o.
carpet. A large mat which will dc
good service and will look well, too
can be made by sewing two bread tbs
together and then cutting the border
on. Dampen the seam and press it or
the wrong side with hot iron.

Country Girls-The Girls for Us.
Up in the morning early,
just at the peep of day,
Straining the milk in the dairy,
Turning the cows away;
Sweeping the floor In the kitchen,
Making the beds up stairs;
Washing the break fast dishes,
busting the parlor chair.
Brushing crumbs from the pantry,
Hunting for eggs at the barn;
Cleaning turnips for dinner,
Spinning stocking yarn;
Spreading the whitened linen
Down on the bushes below;
Ransacking every meadow
Where the red Strawberries grow.
Starching the fixtures for Sunday
Churning the snowy cream,
Rinsing the pail and strainer,
Down in the limpid stream.
Feeding the geese and turkeys,
Making the pumpkin pies,
Jogging the young ones cradle,
Driving away the flies.
Grace in every motion,
Music in every tone,
Beauty in form aud feature,
Thousands may covet to own.
Cheeks hat rival spring roses,
Teeth the whitest of pearls,
One of these country maids Is worth
score Of your citS-bred girls.

"Fighting Weeds"

At this season of the year
this Is supposed by writer's to
be good recommendation, and
by many farmers to be a
good occupation. But really weeds
should never be allowd to get big
enough to fight. If allowed to get
ahead of the corn or potatoes, the con-
test may truly be termed Fighting
and frequently the victory is with the
weeds. But if the farmer does as we
recommended last week, commences
with harrow before the corn or pota-
toes are up, and keeps things stirring
lively, wet or dry. the weeds never get
large enough to fight. But if neglect
ed or the crowd of other business, or
there are too many visits to town, and
the weeds and grass gets start, there
will be necessity for fighting, and one
will feel like fighting When the fox
tails are as long as the corn and as
plenty as candidates for all fat offices.
the fight may progress the entire sea-
son, and the chances is the victory will
always be on the side of the grass.
But If the ground be put in nice
mellow condition by fine harrow just
before the corn is planted, and the
harrow is kept running Immediately
after planting, and until the corr is
eight inches high, and then followed
quickly with cultivator by shallow

The feeling In The stock market uptown last
evening was not nearly 80 bearish as IL was in

N any evidences that a good many of the
