When was a boy played all the out
door plays that other boys played. You
remember some wanted to play thia, and
some that, and there were generally some
dyspeptic fellows who had as good time
their livera would allow when We all sgrped
TO play their sames and let them take the
lead. When things didn'tgo that way they
wouldn't play st all. l look out Of my garrett
window on this bread land ind see some
older and bigger fellows at the nane tricks
in matters Of much more importance. The
childish instinct in them is not dead. And
they have live,s. Who wa1 it that re-.
marked with burning elcquence that it is
geGt misfortunet to have liver?

1t is generally supposed that
vines make houses damp, for which
reason there are not nearly as
many cottages and houses beauti-
fed with vines as there should be.
1t is only when the climbers are
allowed to cover the caves of and
obstrlct the cutters, or find their
way under the shingles, that they
become Objectionable, and these
conditions should, of course, be
carefully guarded against. The
Gardeners Monthly remarks in
this respects are well taken !:
"Vincs should always be kept
down below the roof. 1t is little
trouble to do this once year, but
we cannot get even our shoes
blackened without some trouble.
Those who know how beautiful
and how cozy looks a vine-covered
cottage will not object to the few
hours labor it requires to keep
the vines from stopping in the
gutter. Vines really make wall
dry. The millions of rootlets by
which they adhere to the wall alb
sorb water, and an examination
will prove a uncovered wall to
be as dry as a bone One great
of a vine-covered cot
tage, not often thought Of, is, that
it is cooler in the summer and
warmer in the winter than where
there is but mere, naked wall"

THE WEEKLY BANNER,
Curing Meat.

The Germantown Telegraph
gives the following as its favorite
recipe for curing beef, pork, NUT
ton, hams. etc
To one gallon Of water take Is
pounds salt, I-2 pound of sugar
IA ounce saltpetre, I-2 ounce
potash. In this ratio the pickle can
be increased to any quantity de-
sired. Let these be boiled to
gether until all the dirt from the
sugar rises to the top and is SKIM
med off. Then throw it into a
tub to cool, and when cold, pour
it over your beef or pork. The
meat must be we'll covered with
pickle, and should not be put
down for at least two days after
killing, during which time it should
be sprlnkled with powered saltpe-
tire, which removes all the surface
blood, ETC., leaving the meat fresh
and clean. Some omit boiling the
pickle, and find it to answer well,
though the operation OF boiling
puriies the pickle by throwing off
the dirt always to be found in salt
and sugar. If this recipe is strict
ly followed, it will require only
single trial to prove its superiority
oyer the common way, or most
ways, OF putting down meat, and
it will not soon be abandoned for
any other. The meat is unsur-
passed for sweetness, delicacy and
freshness of color.

How Drainage Helps.


Experiment has shown that for
the best welfare of crops a sol
should not be more than from one
tenth to one-third full of water.
that is to say, most of the larger
spaces between the solid particle:
are empty of anything but air
This healthy condition sometime:
comes about of itself, when an
open subsoil lets the surplus water
run away freely from the surface
but usually artificial drainage is
necessary to secure it. One o.
the most marked good effects Of
this underdrainage, whether natu-
raj or artificial, is the improvement
in the temperature OF the soil. II
this surplus water cannot pass of
below in due time, it must be evap-
grated into the air, at the ineyita-
BILE cost of great quantity ofheat
which would otherwise have sery-
ed to warm the soil; a wet soil,
like wet person coming out of a
bath, is cold. ......, .rf
The less heat soil must lose in
this way, the greater will be its
reverse stock. useful not only for
the production of crops, but also
for their protection against cold.
The suns rays do not warm the
air as they pass through it; they
warm the soil and the rocks; these
then throw out or radiate this alb
sorbed heat into the air and warm
it. The lateness of a frost in any
locality depends therefore not
little on the reserved supply of
heat in the soil; and this again
depends largely on the freedom CT
the soil from surplus water during
the heated season; a welI-drained
and properly dry soil will not only
give a larger and better crop than
an undrained and wet soil, but its
crops will not suffer the harm from
early frosts that may ruin the har-
vest Of nndrained felds.-N. Y.

During the recent raid on the

some startling grounds for the is,

Men who had lost leg in con.

found in receipt OF good fat sums

most remarkable claim of the lot
was that of one gentleman, who,
on being investigated, asserted
that he drew pension for what
he had actually lost in the war.
"But what did you lose ?" de-
manded the examiner. "You

Horses Feet.

The feet OF the horse are the
principal source of disorder and
trouble. A horse is practically
useless unless his feet is sound,
and in order to have them perfect
he must be taken in hand when
young, the feet kept carefully in
order and the shape and other re
quisites be made the most impor-
tant objects of attention. One OF
the many difficulties encountered
IS the ignorance OF blacksmiths.
Theyslearn the trade of shooting
horses. go through a regular rou-
tine performance when attaching
shoe to the loot, and methodi-
callY pursu> a course best suited
to their own incllnations, without
at all studying the conformation
of the foot, the weight of the
horse, the manner in which he
treads, or the kind OF ground to
be travelled. The horse sheer
should be not only a practical
man, but a theoretical one, man
Of study and thought, who must
not only perform the mechanical
part of shoeing. but should, if pos
sible, be scientific.
As to the practicability Of
horses being worked unshod,
everything depends upon the
characters OF the pastures and
the roads. A shoeless horse would
soon become worthless on some
roads, but on soft, sandy roads,
that are free from stones, 1t may
not be injurious to allow them to
go unshod, but such horses
should be free from blemish in
the feet. Quarter cracks and split
hoofs are signs that is too late to
try the method, but as the colts
usually have sound feet, the trial
may be made in. that direction.
Our horses should be free from
shoes if the thing is possible.
