quarter more for use than if allowed to

a Maine teamster says: at can start
the most Obstinate horse by taking him
out of the shafts and leading him
around until he is glddy."
1t is said that scarcity of water is one
chief cause of tough beef. Animals
fattened IN summer on succulent food
are more tender that those of the same
age and character fattened in winter,
Peel eight tomatoes and cook them in
butter. seasoning well. Have eight
pieces of fried bread larger than the
tomatoes and put the fried tomatoes on
them; then place a hard boiled egg on
each tomato and serve very hot. An
excellent dish for breakfast.
No kind of stock should be allowed to
eat young cherry shoots, however
worthless the latter NAV be. The leaves
and bark of the cherry contain con
| siderable amount of prussic acid, and
this is occasionally fatal to sheep and
COWS left to Craze where they can get at
| it.
A small piece of rye sown late adjoin-
ing the hen yard will be run over DUR
| ing open weather in winter, and will
furnish some green food for fowls at
season when it is one of the things
needed for egg production. The rye
will not cost much, and will be worth
more than the expense for seed TO pillow
under as manure IN spring.
If farmer wants to apply lasting
manure let him use coarsely-crushed
bone. 1t will not, however, be SO effec-
tive on the first crop, and as the finer
division by dissolving in oil OF Yitriol
helps the land for two or three years, it
will be generally preferred. The nimble
sixpence is as much better that the slow
shilling in manures as in anything

One cup of raw oatmeal soaked over
night in two CUPS of sour milk. In the
morning add two eggs, sufficient soda,
little salt, and enough graham -four
to make a pretty stiff batter. Have
gem pans on the stove, and when filed
bake in very hot oven about fifteen
minutes. Try them, and you will say
they are better than any recipe that
cooks the oatmeal first; the latter are
apt to be clammy.
1t is possible, according to French
authority, to foretell the weather some
times ten or twenty hours in advance,
emitted by a telephone connected by
leads with two iron bars stuck into the
ground few yards apart. In case of a
thunderstorm, especially, noise like
that of shriveling leaves increases, until
a fash OF lightning occurs, when the
sound resembles that of ram or hail
falling on grass.
Should a cow always be MIXED by
the same person? a writer in the
Gazette, England, says no
or to give his own words: ION no ac-
count, if it can possibly be helped, |
ought one man constantly to milk The |
same COW. If he does it often happens |
that the COW becomes attached to him,
and if anything occurs that he is away !
there is frequently quite scene in con-
sequence. If COW shows partiality !
for any one, he should milk her as little
as possible f" Ae
Children, from babyhood up TO the
time when they are able to follow the
habits of adults. should be given their
meals regularly. Nothing destroys a
good appetite and damages the diges-
zion more thoroughly than promiscuous
feeding at all hours of the day. The
youngster who is given free access to the
arder Will rarely do justice to his regu-
lar meals, and if he grows up 10 man
hood without a weak and fractions
stomach his good fortune will not be
1ue to his home training.
We have reproduced several items
advocating the benefits of ensilage feed
cured in silos. Here is one deprecating
7, being the opinion of firm in the
State of New York who milk over ore
nunored COWS, and have it is said, "the
ar gest silo in the United States" They
are reported by the Orange Countv
Farmer as declaring they Twill never

Ventilation is one of the most diff
,ult of all sanitary problems. This
nay be appreciated when it is remem-
'ered that the object of ventilation is
lot only to remove the foul emanations
,ut to Keep up the circulation of a con-
tant supply of fresh pure atmosphere.
\ very simple contrivance is in use in
many families, which we commend as
Iseful and easy to obtain. a narrow r
'iece of wood is placed under the lower
art of the frame of the window, leav- {
ng a narrow opening between the sash,
through which the air is admitted in an I
pward direction. There are several
UGH appliances in the market. In pur- i.
hasing these the householder should
emember that the air must be admitts d
t such an angle as thatit will not strike S
pom the inmates of the room. ANY
arrangement which fails in this respect,
not only deficient, but very harm!
