An experienced blacksmith says
,hat more horses feet are ruined by
rasping the hoof than by any other
o,use. This outside coating is impre-
ions to water and does not evaporate.
When broken into by rasping the

Driving fast against a strong cur

A gentleman who has had consider
able experience in putting up fences on
the prairies states that it is better to
shorten and dress posts than to dig
holes and set the posts by beating earth

Cinnamon rolls are made by taking

let them rise until light, then bake
quickly. These are especially NICE for
tea.-M Y. Post.
There is nothing that takes the life
out of cream like old age. Twelve
hours will ripen it, and, like fully ma
tured fruit, after this point is reached
every additional minute is a waste Of
quality. Ii it is not sour then churn it
sweet, but churn it any way, and if you
want it acid then put some sour milkin
at first. By long standing sweet milk
gets Ifunky, and, in time, bitter. The
man who keeps his cream too long is
the victim OF a lost opportunity.-E1-
