'CRAzr-oUILT making has both q
practical and sentimental value, as /
heard one of the devotees remark.
1t fills the Golfers of the habsrdasher
and enables a young lady to keep the
history of her romances in q lasting
and suggestive shape. What dreams
would people the brain Of woman
who has reached old-maidenhcod as
she slept under a coverlet whose ev-
cry piece brought up the memory Of
q youthful love and lover or, il for
tune favors her, what . store Of en-
tertainment for herself and her hus-
band the bits of parti-colored silk
would furnish. Especially for the
husband who could calculate from
the number of pieces how many
times her arms had been around how
many necks IN making the quilt. A
crazy quilt is undoubtedly q rare
treasure to have in a household.

The Southern Live Stock Journal
says German millet for forage
should be cut as soon as it blooms.
1t Is then worthless for seed Of course
but just at the stage most valuable
for forage and cxhausts the land less

the seeds to mature they are very
abundant. and ere very rich feed,
but the stems are then too hard and
worthless for forage, and the soil
much more damaged. The mature
stems are very hard, indigestible and
injurious. The ripe seeds founder
much more promptly than corn, and
if mouldy and too freely used. some
times cause diabetes. If cut Mt the
right stage, the whole plant is safe,
very valuable and wholesome. Many

SEE what a Massachusetts, man says
in reference to the product of COM
mon cow in one year. This is not
intended to discharge finer grades of
cattle, but goes to show what profits
may be derived from native stock
where proper care Is bestowed upon
them: "I made 478 pounds of but
ter from the milk of one common
cow between April 10th, 1883. and
April IL, 1884. More or less milk
and cream was also used in the house.
The cow is due to calve the last of
August, and would not make poor
beef to-day. 1 give her two large
quarts of corn meal per day, wet,
with about the same quantity Of bran
in two nesses at milking time. She
has early cut hay, cured wIth'a pc.
culiar method of hand turning, by
which it is dried as quickly and thor
oughly as possible. 1t is cut early
in the day and is not allowed to lie
in the swath after the wet is of.
Neither is it allowed to get warm or
sweat in the cock or NOW, when it
can be prevented. My experience
teaches me that there is great error
and loss in the present fashion Of

1t is not to sweep the house, and
make the bed, and darn the socks,
and cook the meals, chiefly, that .
man wants wife. If this is all he
wants, hired servants can do it cheap.
er than wife. If it is all, when q
young man calls to see lady, send
him into the pantry to taste the
bread and cakes she has made; send
him to inspect the needle work and
bread making; or put a broom into
her hands and send him to witness
its use. Such things are important
and the wise young man will quietly
look after them.
But what the true man most wants
of wife is her companionship, SYM
pathy and love. The way of life
has many dreary places in it, and
man needs companion to go with
him. A man is sometimes overtaken
by misfortunes, he meets with failure
and defeat; trials and temptstions
beset him; and he needs one to
stand by and sympathize. He has
stern battles to fight with poverty,
with enemies and with sin, and he
heeds q woman that, while he puts
his arms around her and feels that
he has something tolive for, will help
fight; that will put her lips to his
ear and whisper words of counsel,
and her hand to his heart and int
part new inspirations.
All through life-through storm
and through sunshine, conflict and
victory, through adverse and favor
ing winds-man needs a woman's
love. The heart yearns for it. A
sisters or a mothers love will hard
ly supply the need. Yet many seek
for nothing further than success in
housework. Justly enough, half of
these get nothing more. The other
half, surprised above measure, have
obtained more than they sought.
Their wives surprise them by bring
ing nobler idea of marriage, and
a treasury of courage,
sympathy and love.-Er.

Where Should the Colt Be Raised.

A great impetus has been given to
the rearing of horses in Iowa. Quite
number of wealthy men are devoting
almost their entire farms to breeding
horses /; keeping from fifty to one
hundred mares for the sole purpose
of raising colts. We very much
doubt the wisdom of such = move,
even though it be inaugurated by
some OF our shrewdest and most sue
cessfai men.
At present prices there is some
money in it, but sooner or later the
prices Of colts will be determined
solely by the cost Of raising them.
The small farmer who has from two
to four brood mares, can raise colts
until weaving time, so much cheaper
than the exclusively horse farmer,
that he will bring down prices in a
very few years to point that will
make bonanza horse farming unprof
liable in the State.
For the farmer who keeps no more
brood mares than he has work to do,
can by careraise three colts annually
from four mares and these colts will
cost him little except cost of service.
Whilst the horse farmer has interest
on the investment, cost of keeping,
cost of service and labor, which to-
gether with insurance against fire,
disease. and accident and deprecia-
ton of their dams from age, will
make his colts at weaving cost him
more than the market price of colts
among the farmers. We know this
is not the general opinion, but we
are in a position 10 figure pretty &C.
curately on both sides Of the ques-
ton and we have not. a shadow Of 8
doubt that sound political economy
requires that the colts be bred by the
men who can make the dam pay for
her keep in work on the farm. And
sound political economy will have its
own way whether we like it or net.
II you don't take kindly to this
view sit down and make careful es-
innate of the expense Of raising q
colt when you have no use for its
dam.-IOtUa Homeste0d

AT a meeting of the Southwest As
sociation of fruit and vegetable evap-
orators held at Springfinid, No., on
the 9th of May last, the subject of
varieties Of apples best adapted for
evaporatlng purposes was fully dis
cussed and led to the selection OF the
following list as the most appropriate
Rhode Island, Greening, Baldwin,
Smiths Cider, Missouri, Pippin.
Maiden's Blush, Huntsmans Favor
ite, Roxbury Russett and Jonathan.
They were unanimous in declaring
that the extensive planting Of the
Ben DAVIS to the exclusion Of other
varieties better adapted fer evapor-
ating purposes was against the pres
ent and futuae interests of growers
and evaporators.

A. j. CHILD, the Wool and gener-
al Commission Merchant of this city,
gives US fact which has, We believe,
but few precedents. He has this
season received one hundred and
seventy (17O) consignments Of woOl
amounting to 100000 lbs, against
which not one dollar has been drawn
on bill of lading. II this evidences
anything, it is coufide1ce in the man
and IN the market and the condition
Of those who made the shipments.

good financial condition, so good
that we venture the statement that
but few wool commission merchants
in this or any other section OF the
country can offer similar expert

A Very simple method and an in

A VERY simple method and an i'm
provement upon the Rarey system of
training vicious horses was, says the
the Rural Canadian, exhibited at
West Philadelphia recently, and the
manner In which some Of the widest
horses were subdued was astonishing.
The first trial was made on q kicking
or "balking" mare, which her owner
said had allowed no rider on her
back for at least five years. She
became tame in about as many min
utes, and allowed herself to be rid
den about without sign Of her for
mer wildness. The means by which
the result was accomplished was
piece Of light rope, which was pass
ed around the front jaw Of the mare
just above the front teeth, crossed
In her mouth, thence secured back
of her neck. 1t was claimed that no
horse will kick or jump when thus
secured, and that horse after re-
ceIving that treatment few times
will abandon his vicious ways fol-
ever. A simple method was also
shown by which a kicking horse
could be shod. 1t consisted in con-
Meeting the animals head and tail by
means of rope fastened to the tail
and then to the bit, and then
drawn tigntly enough to incline the
animals head to one side. This, it
is claimed, makes it absolutely inn
possible for horse to kick on the
side Of the roper At the same ex-
hibition horse, which for years had
to be bound on the groundto be shod
suffered the blacksmith to operate
on him without attempting 20 kick
while secured in the manner descrlb-
ed,

A WoNDERFUL DREAM.-A daugh-
ter of the late Harvey Jewell, Of Bos-
ton, lad recently very queer and
unusual experience and one calcu-
lated to make deep impression up-
on the strongest mind. Some weeks
ago she had dream in which she
distinctly saw an undertaken drive
up to her residence with q hearse.
He was a peculiar looking man. His
queerly shaped nose, which looked
as If it had been broken and was
twisted to one side, gave his coun-
tenance an expression. which would
have made identification easy and
certain. He came directly toward
her, as he said care you all ready 2"
she suddenly awoke. The dream
seemed 3 peculiar one, but did not
attract very much attention in the
household until few days or a week
later it was repeated with exactly
the same characteristics; down to
the care you all ready?" and the
awakening. And now comes the
strangest part Of the story. Some
little time afterward the young lady
was visiting in Cincinnati, and went
to an apartment hotel to call upon q
friend. She stepped into the eleva-
tor with others, and was startled to
hear "Are you all ready?" from the
man in charge. She was still more
startled on looking around and be-
holding the exact picture Of the man
Of the dream, even to the misshapen
nose. 1t made such an impression
upon her mind that she requested to
be let out of the elevator at the first
landing. She stepped out, and the
other occupants went out at the next
landing, and the man remained. The
elevator machinery gave out, sud-
denly the car went up, and then
down, and the man was instantly
killed.
