Thrift on the Farm.

Thrifty ways seem to come naturally
70 some people, aud only BY watchful-
ness and training and care To others In
the hands of some people you never see
any but good stock, well made fences,
hourishing crops, clean fields, and other
evidences of thrift. On q farm along
side of suck man you NAV find every
thing just the other way. To one, farm
ing is profitable and life is easy; to the
other, farming is a poor business; be
lives hard, and cannot see why any one
ever wants to farm for living. The
difference between the men is that the
former has by nature or training thrifty
ways; what he does he does well and
with dispatch. The latter has NOT thrifty
ways either by inheritance or training;
what he does, he does in a shiftless
fashion, and he fails. The difference
between these two methods is Just what,
in numberless cases, constitutes the diff.
ference between success and failure,
Every parent should strive to cultivate
in their children. from the earliest in
fancy, habits of thoroughness and quick
ness. Nothing can compensate for the
lack Of these things. The possession OF
lack Of them means success or failure
in any line of business.

American Cookery.

That America is fast becoming a land
of dyspeptics is well known fact.
Physicians and men Of scientific turn
of mind have for years been railing at
the American mode of cooking and also
the manner of eating in America. They
object with good reason to the frying and
boiling methods doing service for the
more savory and nutritious broil. That
the frying pan is the source of all evil
worked to the American stomach, is a
conclusion not unjustly arrived at by
these inquisitiye and philanthropic per-
SONS. But at any rate would it not be
better to have fewer broils as well as
fries of beef and mutton, to say nothing
of greasy ham and. instead. more fire.
quent appearance ON the table of the
health-giVing oatmeal and cracked
wheat? 1t is claimed that Americans
bolt" their food too rapidly This is,
perhaps, too sweeping an assertion, but
take the large class of business men
who are compelled to dine hastily,
would it not be far better for them to
partake of grain foods. ripe fruit and
milk, than to ruin their already inn
paired digestive organs by the hasty
consumption of meats that are boiled or
fried?
To the average American lunch or
dinner without pie, fruit pie generally.

their lives miserable, such thing as

Of Fruit certainly should appear more
frequently on the table than it does 1t
is claimed that were ripe fruit partaken
of more freely there would be fewer
cases of sore throat and similar dis
eases. But there is more than one
housewife who derives more satisfac-
ton in the display of wax fruit on the
parlor table than in an abundance of
ripe fruit in her dining-room.
1t is to the American wives and
mothers the appeal for reform in diet
should be made. as the superintendence
of the cuisine is their natural office.
Volumes of science brought to bear on
the subject win be of no avail as long
as the common sense of the housewife
is unconvinced. Let the women of the
country, therefore, give this subject
their earliest and best attention. Dunn,

For Telling Horses Ages.

The full grown horse possesses twenty
four back teeth-that is, six in each
side side Of each jaw; these are called
molars or grinders. He has twelve
front teeth: that is, six in each Jaw.
Mares have no tushes. The foal has
either at his birth or shortly afterward
eight milk teeth; that is, four in each
jaw; at about twelve months two more
milk teeth come in each jaw. These re
main unchanged till he is three years
old. The mouth of the yearling and
two year-old cannot be confonnded. The
yearling mouth shows no signs of use,
and the corner teeth are shelly only: at
two years old these teeth are strong and
well grown, ana the corner teeth filled
up. A little before three years the two
center teeth of each jaw fall out and are
replaced by permanent ones. A little
before live the two remaining teeth are
shed, and in their place come perma-
nent ones. The upper milk teeth usu-
ally fall out first.
Thus the mouth is completed as to its
front teeth. The corner tooth, however,
is but imperfectly developed, being at
present shell only; this shell at six
years old has filled up and is complete
tooth. This il the difference between a
five and a six year old. The tushes APP
pear between three and half and four
years old, and they take nearly two wears
TO arrive at their full growth. These
teeth, as the horse grows older, get
blunterand shorter, and so to an expe
rienced judge are sure indication of
age. Up to six years old the mouth is
in distinct and periodical state of struc
tural change. There is no difficulty in
determining the age up to that date.
After that the age must be judged by
the shape of the mouth and the appear
anee OF the teeth called the mark. At
six years of age the cuts leave the
two center teeth above, at seven the
next two above, at eight the outer or
corner teeth above.
At nine the two center teeth below
lose the cuts, at ten the next two below,
and at eleven the outer or corner teeth
below. After little practice the close
observer can scarcely make mistake
The changes that occur are the same in
all horses, or nearly so.

What to Teach the Girls.

Give your girls thorough education
Teach them to cook and prep re the
food of the household.
Teach them to wash, to iron and darr
stockings, TO sew on buttons and to make
their own dresses.
Teach them to make bread, and that a
good kitchen lessons the doctors ac
count.
Teach them that he only lays up
money whose expenses are less than his
income, and that all grow poor who
have to spend more money than they re-
ceive.
Teach them that a calico dress paid
for fits better than silken one unpaid
for.
Teach them that full, healthy face
displays greater luster than fifty cos
metic beauties.
Teach them to purchase and see that
the account corresponds with the pur-
chase.
Teach them good common sense, self
help and industry.
Teach them that an honest mechanic
in his working clothes is better object
OF esteem than dozen naughty, finely
dressed idlers.
Teach them gardening aud the beauty
Of nature.
Teach them, if you can afford it, music,
painting, ETC., but to consider them as
secondary objects only.
Teach them that the happiness of mat
rimony depends neither on external an
pearance nor on wealth, but on mans
character.
Try and sympathize with girlish fights
of fancy, even if they seem absurd to
you; by 80 doing You will retain your
influence over your daughters and not
teach them to seek Sympathy elsewhere.
Remember that although they are all
your children, each one has an individ.
uai character, and that tastes and quail
titles differ.
Cultivate them separately, and not
as # you were turning them out by ma
chineFy.
Encourage them to good walking ex-
ercise. Young ladies in this country
are rarely good walkers. They can dance
all night, but are tired out If they walk
mile. Girls ought to be able to walk
AS easily ~ boys. Halt the nervous dis
eases which affiict young ladies' would
disappear If the habit Of regular exer-
ciso were encouraged.

ABOUT THE FARM.

It's pleasure rare these dreamy DAYS.
To walk again the old time ways,
Here in our native town
Ger rocky pasture, pine clad hill,
Beside the pond, serene and still,
To wander up and down.
joy in spripging wayside things,
And all the beauty spring time brings,
With passionate delight;
While over earth's bright emerald gown
The sunshine gold is sitting down,
In shining waves of light
The field, the wood, the hillside green
Bring back the years that lie between
Lilies fresh young morn, and now;
The dear old farm is hallowed ground.
What memories sweet e'er cluster round
Each scented orchard bough.
There's something fades from every heart
Yes, something Of each life a part
When youth--the dream-is DER;
Oh, friendly wood Oh, orchard tree
J would that You could bring to me
My lost, lost youth once more.
