stumbling while walking or moving in q
slow trot. A we'll versed veterinarian
states that there are two.causes that
would tend to produce this faulty action;

lar system, such as would be noticed in

the exterior muscles of the leg. brought

the toe. To effect cure, he adds,
tighten the weight of each front shoe
about four ounces; have TIE toe of the
shoe made of steel instead of iron, il
will wear longer; have it rounded Of
about the same as it would be when one
third worn out, in order to prevent
tripping; allow one weeks rest; have
the legs showered for few minutes at 3
time with cold water through hose, in
order to create spray; then rub dry,
briskly, from the chest down to the foot
Give walking exercise daily during this
week for about an hour twice day,
When you commence driving again omit
the slow jog, either walk or send him
along at a sharp trot for mile or two
then walk away, but do not speed for al

FARM AND HOUSE.
Agricultural Items.

Mr.. George f. Lord, Elgin, ILL.,. tone
of the States most successful dairymen, y
keeps 100 cows ON lis 3Q0-acre farm,
which is not go remarkable as the fact
that he "has not raised pound Of hay
for years." His dependence is corn fod-
der, drilled 1-2 feet apart; cut when in
blossom, one row at a time, with self
racing reaper, the machine throwing it
off in gavels, which, when sufficiently
wilteu, are bound, ''set UP IN large
stacks and left thus 10 cure tn winter,
when it is stored in the barn. He Sc
cures in this way about SEVEN tons OF
the dry forage per acre, which he claims
is worth as much as the best hay.
4 Western lady states as her sxperi-
ence as poultry raiser, that OIL. bushel
of corn, or its equivalent in cora nike
with other foods, will producefourteen
pounds of poultry in the form of grow
ing cockerels At the same tine it must
be borne in mind that something in adj
dition to corn must be used as food.
Conflne fowl in yard with no other
food than corn, and, as all vans of the
fowl system would not be supplied, 1t
would soon die of starvation In the

DIR. Jacob Brandmier. whoEhas had
years of experience IN raising chickens.
says that the "cholera" has aways APP
peared among them in the fall of the
year when they are very fit, and has
never occurred in the spring, for the
reason that the chickens are poor at the
time. He says when they become very
fat in the fall yellow, oily lquid oozes
from their mouths, which indicates the
appearance of chicken chohra," and
the only remedy for 1t is to keep plenty
of oak bark in the water they rink, and
also mix their food with water of the
bark.

CaTlyle's First Love,

This was the time 18l6 49, of Carlyies
fiustra' ed love for Margaret Gordon, the
''Blumine Of his Sdrtor Resortus, then
an orphan girl, residing in K'rkcaldy with
her widowed Aberdeenshire aunt. l en-
not refrain from the episode Of Margaret
Gordon. This girl, interesting long ago to
all inquirefs into Carlyle's biography as the
nameless original of bis Bluniine, has be-
come even more interesting since the rev.
citation of her name and the description of
her by Carlyle himself IN his Remtnis-
ceaces Even this description however,
falls far short the impression made by
that fragment of her own farewell letter to
CARLISLE which Mr.. Froude has published
in his Nineteenth Century article on Car
lyIe's early life. Nothing finer or nobler
than that letter has come to light,
or ever can come 10 light III eli
Carlyles correspondence:-"A And now, my
dear friend, long, long adieu! One ad-
vice, and as q parting one, consider. value
it. Subdue the more eXtrayagant visions OF
the brain. In time your abilities must be
known. Among vour aequaintances they
are already beheld with wonder and de-
light. By those whose opinion may be val
liable they hereafter will be appreciated
Genius Will render you great. May virtue
render you beloved Remove the awful
y
kind and gentle manners. Deal gently
with their infeTiority, and be convinced
they will respect you as much and bike you
more. Why conceal the real goodness that
flows in your heart? :. :. Again adleul Par
don the freedom have used, and when you
think of me, be it as of O kind sister, to
whom your happiness will always yield de-
light, and your griefs sorrow. -. give
you not my address, because l dare
not promise to see you" Valuable
as an additional attesation OF
the enormous impression made by Carlyle
upon all who came near him even at this
early date, and Of the prodigious expecta-
lions entertained of his futGre career,
these words reveal also such q character in
the writer himself as almost to compel the
dream of what might have happened If she
had become his wife, That 1t was real
on both sides is evids nt The obstacle was
partly in circumstance. In the opinion OF
Ter aunt and guardian. and OF others,
MARGARET G 3rdon, who, though the
daughter OF o poor colonial. and left with
little or nothing, was one of the aristocratlc
family of the Aberdeenshire Gordons,
could net marry Kirkcaldy schoolmaster.
PERHAPS some dread on her part, arising
from those perceptions of the harder side
Of his character, which she communicated
to himself so tenderly and fri nkiy, may
have aided the separation. Her suq Sc
daent history is known, and could be told
With abundant detail by persons still living.
She became the wife of Alexander Ban
lehman of Aberdeen. man of note IN the
commerce of that city, and of family OF
old standing and Of landed estates in the
shire.

a Agricultural Creed,

According to the Canada Farmer the
agriculturists of Canada met In conven-
ton and adopted for themselves the fol-
lowing creed: eve believe in small
farms and thorough cultivation; we be-
lieve that the soil lives to eat, as well as
the owner, and ought, therefore, to be
well MANFRED; we believe in going 10
the bottom of things, and, therefore,
deep blowing, and enough of it--all the
better if it be q subsoil pillow; we believe
in large crops which leave the land bet
ter than they found it, making both the
farm and farmer richer at once: we be-
lieve that every farm should own good
farmer; we believe that the fertilizer OF
any soil is a spirit of industry, enter
prise and Intelligence-without these,
lime, gypsum and guano would be OF
little use; we believe in good fences.
good farm houses, good orchards, and
good children enough to gather the
fruit; we believe in clean kitchen, q
neat wife in it. clean conscience; we
believe to ask mans advice is not
STOPPING, but of much benefit; we be-
lieve that to keep place for everything
and everything in its place saves many q
step, and is pretty sure to lead to good
tools and to keeping them in order; we
believe that kindness to stock, like good
shelter, is saying of fodder; we believe
that it is good thing to keep an eye on
experiments, and note all, good and bad
we believe that it is good rule to sell
grain when it is ready; we believ in pro-
ducing the best butter and cheese, and
marketing it when it is ready"

The Real Vienna Bread.
From Notes aad Queries

From Notes aad Queries.
Vienna bread is celebrated. 1t may
interest you to know something about
it. The excellence cf the bread is at
tributed to three reasons-the oven, the
men and the yeast. Another may be
added, and that is the dry climate. An
ounce of yeast three decagrammes) and
as much salt is taken for every gallon
lone litre) of milk used for the dough.
The yeast is a Viennese speciality
known as the "St Mariner Pressheffe,
and it's composition is a secret. 1t keeps
two days in summer and little longer
in winter.
The ovens are heated by wood fires lit
inside them during four hours; the ash
es are then raked out and the oven is
carefully wiped with wisps of damp
straw. On the vapor thus generated as
well as that produced by the baking. OF
the dough, lies the whole art of the
browning and the success of the sem

rake Care of Your Eyesieht.

The Medical Herald gives some prac-
teal hints about glasses, which rifemen
win do well to heed. 1t says:
| Persons finding their eyes becoming
dry and itching on reading, as well as
those who find it necessary to pace an
object nearer than fourteen inches from
their face to read, need spectacles.
Persons under forty years of age
should not wear glasses until the accom-
modating power of the eyes has been
suspended and the exact state of re-
fraction determined by a competent
opthalmic surgeon.
The spectacle glasses sold by peddlers
and jewelers. generally are hurtful to the
eyes of those who read much, as the
lenses are made Of inferior sheet glass,
and are not symmetrlcally ground.
No matter how perfectly the lenses
may be made, unless they are mounted
in a suitable frame and properly placed
before the eye. discomfort will rise from
their prolonged use.
There are three systems of grading
spectacle, Ienses-the English, the metric
and the Prussian. Those made to sup.
ply the demands of the trade in this
country are carelessly made. and are
poor imitation of either the Engish or
the metrical system. The metrieal scale
has no English equivalent, is not graded
by any uniform rule of dividing the in
ner focal spaces, and is, therefore, I'M
suited to the oxacting demand ofscience.
Persons holding objects too near the
face endanger the safety of their eyes,
and incur the risk of becoming near
sighted.
The near-sighted eye IS an unsound
eye. and should be fully corrected with
glass, Notwithstanding the fact it may
need 10 aid for reading.
The proper time to begin wearing
glasses is Just as soon as the eyes tire on
being subjected to prolonged use.

coating of white lead paint over the en-
tire forearm, back and front, enveloped
the limb in cotton wool, and ordered
one dram of tincture of perchloride of
iron in divided doses throughout the
day. Next morning he found the child
sitting up; the temperature was 81,
pulse, 81, the tongue clean; about half
an hour after painting, the pain lett him,
he slept well, and on waking called for
food. Another interesting case is that
reported by Ringk, of Berlin,-that of
the treatment of whooping cough with
turpentine, with astonishing results. The
patient was little girl three and half
years old, and fatal issue seemed i'm
minent DR.. Ringk prescribed oil. tere-

a teaspoonful every three hours. The
next day, when lie saw the child, he
could hardly believe his eyes-she was
sitting up in bed, with q great slice of
bread and butter in her hand, which
she was eating and evidently enjoying.
The cough had totally disappeared, and
no evil results followed.
