nisoliShiurn the Skin,

Fashionable women and girls in New
York always have their arms and necks
polished" before going to bali or 9th
err entertainment where they appear
with very decollete dress. The polishing
greatly beauties the skin. First the
arms and neck are rubbed very thor
oughly with rose water. After this has
been rubbed off the arms and the
shoulders are covered with cola cream,
which is allowed to remain on fifteen
minutes. This is then rubbed off with
a piece Of fine soft flannel. and the arms
and shoulders are covered with, 'baby"
powder and rubbed very thoroughly.
This finishes the Operations. When this
is completed they look like polished
marble, and the skin seems to take on
wonderful fine and beautiful TEXTURE

c. Burt. butter and cheese mer-
chant, in the New York Tribune says: :
The butter business is much improved,
with good prospects Of still further in
crease. Prices compare favorably with
those of previous years. Oleomarga-
rine is seldom called fer at the houses
where it is sold. About one tubs now
sold to a dozen last Fall. Retailers are
afraid to handle it since the investiga-
tions were made which implicated some
of them.
Butter is q very difficult article to
keep unless very low, uniform tenn
perature can be secured. Where but
ter is needed for long keeping, the best
way is to make in small and somewhat
oblong rolls; wrap closely in we'll brine
washed muslin cloths, and immerss
them in brine made from boiled water.
These should be kept beneath the sur
face so that the air will not get to them.
A small quantity can thus be had at any
time.
Carelessness about the feet of horses
produces much trouble. Loose nails or
fragments of them are left in the hoof
and work their way into the interior, and
produce inflammation which spreads up
to the coronet or elsewhere and forms
a fstula. This is very difficult to cure
because the horses foot is encased in q
tight box from which TIE pus and diseas-
ed matter cannot escape. Care to pre-
vent it should be constant. The best
treatment is to open the diseased places
and syringe out the matter daily with
warm water and few drops of carbolic
acid, and keep plug of tow in the open
ing to prevent healing until this is effect
ed at the bottom
, D. Arthur Piper Of Northwood Mar
rows writes: Cattle need garget once
Or twice every year. I have. recently
found new way to give it to them, in
which they will hardly ever taste it.
Take a medium sized potato and cut
quite large piece out of it and then
take a piece Of garget root about an
inch ana a. half long and put it in the
hole, and then put in the piece Of po-
tato after cutting little off from it.
In this way the cattle will eat the potato
without noticing the garget. This is a
very simple operation but it may be Of a
little value to anyone just beginning to
farm. =
Worms in horses, and the same is
true of cattle, not only irritato the in
testines but rob the animals OF por-
ton of the nutriment OF the food. The
poor beasts show by their rough and
woe-begone appearance how much they
suffer. These pests increase in animals
that are not robust and that have in
digestion and various other disorders,
for they feed upon the products of such
diseases. The first thing, then, is to
get the digestive organs into health
full condition and so nourish them well,
when the absence Of impure matter in
the intestines at once starts the para
sites and they disappear. A dose of a
pint of raw linseed with one ounce Of
turpentine given two or three times acts
as a. safe purgative and a tonic, and
consequently as vermifuge. -Ippos.

HOW they cure Hams in Virginia.

. 83V" SAA0y WV AAW>~>s -" V~e3 AAAAsss
Country Gentleman. -
Virginia hams, and notably the. Smith
field and East Virginia hams, are cured
In the. following way: The hogs are
left on the scafold till the animal heat
is we'll out of The carcass and it has be-
come q little stiff from cold, in order
that it may cut smoother and better
than it does when limp. Usually the
pork. is not cut till the next morning
after il, skilled, but if the weather is
very cold, and it is feared that it will
freeze before morning, it is cut and
sailed the same day. On being cut the
meat is immediately salted and packed
down in bulk, flesh side up, on the floor
Of platform made for TIE purpose.
On packing it down each piece is so
laid that all the blood that oozes out Of
the meat will flow away from it, and
not remain in contact with the flesh
to faint it. This is one of the nice
points in our method of curing bacon,
namely, to have the animal bleed free.
II when it is killed, and not allow the
pork TO stand long in the bloody water
that always comes away from pork for.
q short time after it is slaughtered.
Hence we never use the brine, but al
ways salt the meat dry, and break bulk
and resalt again in short time. Care
is taken to touch I'LL the joints and
bones with plenty Of salt, and TO sprinkle
more salt On the thick part Of the pieces
rs they are packed down. We use from
Is bnshel to q bushel and 4 half of3dry
salt to !, 600 pounds Of pork, applying
the most on meat Of large SIZE. Some
times, to give 8 fine red color to the
flesh Of hams, ! little saltpeter is rubbed
on them but very often nothing but
the dry salt IS applied till the meat is
ready tobe smoked. AZ Interpolation OF

How Severe Training Pro1 ongs the Life
Of the Thoroughbred.

From the Live Stock Journal
While the aptitude for living to
great age is undoubtedly inherited, still
this tendency to long living many times
shows up in the character of a squirt,
as single son or daughter from given
pair may attain to great age, all other
sclons from the same stock being only
moderately long livers. AS to longevi~
ty, as we ordinarily meet with it, there
are physical signs that, fully inspect
ed and estimated at their worth, will
always be found to tally with the
results. The tlloroug hbred has
firm structure throughout, clearly the
result of transmission through an
agency rendered firm of tissue by
continuous and somewhat severe trainss
ing, ignoring accumulation Of fat:
The latter substance in excess, or even
approaching this, places the horse or
the person with this peculiarly as
though with a sword suspended over
him by a very. weak thread. Life is
prolonged by such repeated efforts as
give vlgor, short of sapplng the vitality,
and one Of the agencies through which
this is done is cyrtailment of tendency
to fairness. We have i'll trees corrobo-
ratiye evidence that firm texture leads
to long life. The hard wood trees are
considered by naturalists to be long
lived in proportion as they grow thick
and stout rather than tall. Slim plants
are, as /. rule, delicate and short Lived.
We can safely apply this similitude to
the horse, and calculate that the
spindling, leggy horse will not prove
hardy or long-lived. The firm texture
of the flesh and bones Of the mule may
be taken as evidence that this concen-
tration Of structure may be considered
to be associated, as a rule, with ten
dency to long life, and it is worth con-
sidering how far we can safely depart
from the popularity referred to.

From the Prairie Farmer.

From the Prairie Farmer.
From February l to March, SOW 8
lbs. of the mammoth variety per acre.
Put in thus early, the seed readily finds
it's way into the ground, and has the
whole season for growth. When the
wheat is harvested, the clover will oc-
cupy the ground, to the exclusion of
weeds, producing heavy growth.
Pillow this under in autumn, and again
plant to corn in the spring, thus rota-
ting with wheat and corn, blowing the
ground once in two years, each time
turning down q crop of clover. This
not only Keeps up the fertility Of the
land, but is continually improving it,
as my own experience amply proves. I
have rotated wheat and corn for the last
seven years. but have followed the
clovering process during four years
only, and can see it has made a percepti-
bic difference in the amount of both
wheat and corn, the latter showing the
effects to the very row between clover
sod and oat stubble. Never in the
same years have had failure of the
wheat crop, though some crops have
been light. from the various causes at
fecting the growth Of wheat. Often
when my crops was light, that sown on
open ground, in the usual way, was
an entire failure l do not claim that
we will thus get as large a yield as may
sometimes be had by other methods,
but the crop is surer, and by computing
the different results for series Of years,
we find we get the most grain in the
way have described. have known
wheat sown among corn to yield as high
as thirty seven bushels per acre, aud in
other seasons only nine bushels.
