IIOuaeh Id Hints.

A bit of soap rubbed on the hinges of
doors will prevent them from creaking.
If your pet canary has fits, put drop
Of spirits of nitre into the water the bird
drinks.
Pieces of cheese cloth make the very
best kind of busters. Cut them and
hem them.
The wings of turkeys, geese and
chickens are good to wash and clean
windows, as they leave no dust or lint,
as cloth.
To brighten the inside of a coffee or
tcapot, fill with water, add small piece
of soap, and let it boil about forty five
minutes.
Stovepipes may be cleaned by putting
piece of zinc on the Goals of a hot fire,
The vapor produced carries off the SCOT
by chemical decomposition.
Hash, to be good-and it can be good
must not stew and simmer and simmer
and stew, but be heated through as
quickly as possible and sent to the table
at once.
When velvet gets pushed from pres
sure, hold the parts over a basin of hot
water, with the lining of the dress next
the water. The pile will soon rise and
resume its former beauty.
Coffee made with distilled water is
said to have a greatly improved aroma.
II seems that the mineral carbonates in
common water render the tannin of the
coffee berry soluble, but the drug will
not dissolve in distilled water
Matches should never be left where
ra,s or mice can get hold of them. There
is nothing better to the taste of rat
than PHOSPHORUS. Those animals will
cat it if they can get it. A box of
matches is aim )st certain to be set on
fire il rat gets at it.
The rubber rings used to assist in
keeping the air from frut-can some
times becomes so dry and brittle as to
be almost useless. They can be restored
to normal condition, usually, by letting
them lie in water in which you have put
little ammonia. Mix in this proper
ton: One part ammonia and two parts
water. Sometimes they do not need to
lie in this more than five minutes, but
frequently half hour is needed to re-
store their elasticity.

Queer JeweIry.

San Francisco paper says that a
modeler of statuary has set of cuff and
shirt studs made Of Chinese finger nails
set in gold. He points with pride at his
exclusive possessions, which are made of
Chnaman's fnger-nai which was four
inches long when cut. The nail in the
studs presents a shiny appearance, and
is susceptible to changes in the weather.
Their owner claims that they were sue
cessfully used by him as weather ba-
rometer when he first got them, but their
usefulness in this direction had been lost
through age. The question of whether
Chinese fnger-nails will come into gen
eral use as articles of jewelry is one
which interests shell and precious stone
dealers. The Chinese judge their gentle
men as Americans do their idlers-by
their long finger nails. A reporter has
seen among the heirlooms CT a heavy
weight merchant in Chinatown nail
which attained the great length of thir-
teen inches and the Chinaman's grand
father was reported by the merchant to
have raised one eighteen inches long on
the index finger of his left hand. The
merchant at that time said there was
nothing wonderful about that, as he
knew a Chinese priest who had nail on
the little finger of his left hand which
was sixteen feet and some inches in
length, and the priest was then but six
ty-eight years of age.

the potatoes or turnips, and mix these
for the early days feed.
A frequent cause of the small size Of
fowl is in breeding, says a correspondent.
For this reason he strongly advises the
buying a cockerel of the breed kept
every other year.
Give soft feed to poultry in the morn
ing, and the whole grains at night, ex-
cepting little wheat or whole grains of
corn placed in the Scratching place" in
the forenoon, to furnish employment
during the day.
The Grand River Valley Horticultural
society of Michigan recently decided
that in starting blackberry plantation
1t was cheapest to buy root cuttings
rather than use suckers, although more
expensive at the outset.
Bone meal and crushed oyster shells
may be used generously in feeding fowls.
Placed by themselves fowls will devour
more of this mixture than they naturally
require to assist in digestion and to help
in forming the shells of eggs.
Oats and rye are very similar to each
other in composition. TO make a good
feed for horses, corn should be mixed
with them. A bushel of rye, two bushels
of oats and five of corn, ground to.
gcther, will make excellent food.
Most amateur florists use too large pots
for their plants. Gcraniums, heliotropes
ana many other kinds bloom better
when somewhat pot bound. When large
pots are given Them they make great
growth Of branches and give fewer flow
crs.
A good tonic FOR fowls during the
moulting season, according to the Poultry
WORTH, is made by dissolving half a
pound of sulphatc of iron and one ounce
of sulphurc acid in two gallons of water
Put one teaspoonful of this into each
pint of drinking water.
Feed the table scraps to the chickens
instead of throwing them to the pigs.
They are worth more to the poultry, and
everything that ia Is from the table, dry
crusts, vegetable leavings, cooked meat
bits and the like are eagerly devourcd by
old and young fowls.
Give pigs a dry, cosy place to sleep
and you Will be haunted with a dozen or
50 less of those complaints that are SO
handily dubbed "cholera." In state
of nature the pig builds nest of dry
material, and when storm threatens,
builds it higher to keep dry.
The farmers comprising the Elmira
Farmers club are nearly unanimous in
the opinion that sweet food for swine is
preferable to that which has fermented
and soured. Mr. Banteld had expert.
mented many times, and had no doubt
swine fattened sooner on sweet food than
the soured.

Cattle Health.

The western RUrdl has some positive
ideas on the treatment of animal dis
eases. Most of these diseases can be
cured in the feeding box before they
break out. a great deal of the work
that veterinarians are called upon to
perform is really needless. A diseased
condition of animal life is produced by
some violation Of natures laws. The
great study of the people should be not
how to cure diseases so much as how to
prevent them. In the old times cattle
and horses seemed to require much less
doctoring than at present. The single
COW of to-day that is treated almost like
one of the family is hardly ever sick.
Animal health is easy to maintain, If
those who handle stock will use judg-
ment and care. The farmers children
are generally models of health, yet they
get little doctors care beside what their
mother gives them. Her remedies are
simple, yet they succeed because they
are given in time. and because constant
attention is given to the children's con-
dition. If farmers would doctor their
animals on this same principle there
would be much less disease. There are
too many herds of cattle in this country
that are pampered into disease. They
get too much care. Their owners mean
to give them the best possible treatment,
but the matters of feeling and shelter
are badly oyerdone. These with the vic
tins of exposure and rough treatment,
and those weakened by in -brcedng,
make up II grand army Of invahds that
yearly increases. Buck FanShaw stopped
riot before it had a chance to break
out. His example is worthy of imita-
ton in the stock business. 1t is we'll to
cure diseases before they break out, and
this can only be done by careful treat
mem. -LUrdi Neao Yorker.

See that all farm buildings are made
comfortable for the winter by battening
up cracks, banking up the underpinning
and replacing all broken glass. 1t will
usually pay 10 board up stables inside
the frame, leaving dead air space be-
tween the outside and inside boarding
This will materially increase the temper.
allure in excessively cold weather. We
must remember that stables are warmed
in winter by the animals kept in them,
and that unless the heat of their bodies
is retained by tight enclosing walls it
will be wasted on the outside winter air
Stoves would not keep our dwelling
houses warm if the walls were as open as
many barns we have seen.
Make the stables reasonably tight, and
the cattle will keep them warm without
artificial heat, especially if they are well
fed. A stable ought to be warm enough
so that horse will keep comfortable
without 4 blanket. If not, and a
blanket is used he will be all the more
sensitive to cold when it is removed and
he is taken out. Horses that are required
to stand much in harness should never
be blanketed when in the stable, ex-
cept, perhaps, when they come in wet.
At such times dry blanket will keep
them from getting chilled while drying
off, but it should be removed as soon as
the hair becomes dry.
The dwelling house, too, should be
looked after, to see that it will keep
out the winds and storms, for the com.
fort of the household is of quite as much
Importance as that of the dumb beasts.
Outside windows on the colder sides
will keep out much winter weather when
the mercury gets down among the small
/ figures. Coal fires are luxury in one
room at least in the severest weather,
but with plenty of coarse, hard wood
such as many farmers have in abundance,
and suitable stove for burning it, fire
can be kept alive nearly or quite through
the nights. and thus secure comfort t
the household. Those who depend upor
wood for fuel on farm should have al
least one stove that will open wide
enough to take in any large, knott,
chunks that are hard to split. 1t is the
easiest way of disposng of them, and
they make the best of night fuel.

CuItiyating Lettuce,

never sow lettuce seed in drills, but
always broadcast, writes a correspondent
of Vic%S Wagazine, and give the plants
plenty Of room by thinning for use as
the plants grow. The beds being mar
row the thinning is easily DONE | never
try to have the distance between the
plants exactly equal but simply keep
them from crowding. In this way
have grown very large heads without
hoeing, and, as the plants keep the
ground Shaded no wedding is required.
Heads can be kept from going to seed
for quite while by cutting about half
way through the stem at ITS base, lcav-
ing the plant just enough nourishment
from the roots to keep it from willing
When the heat Of summer arrives lettuce
must have a cool, partly shaded situa-
ton, and an abundance of water. This
is the secret of raising fine heads Of let.
tuce in hot weather Try the north side
of a building or tight fence, or a frame
artificially shaded, and you will be sur
prised at what can be done at raising
lettuce even in midsummer. Early Egg
and Tennis Ball are good for forcing,
Drumhead is large and solid. All the
Year Round and Satisfaction are slow to
run to seed, Hanson grows to cXtraordi-
nary size, Paris Cos stands summer heat
well, but must be tied up few days to
blanch the inner leaves The finely
curled varieties, so much used for gar
nishing, will bear shearing several times
if the heart is not injured. There are
many other varieties equally good, each
possessing some merits of its own.
