The Use Of Blinds on Horses.

The custom Of putting blinds on horses
Unfortunately, Is a great error. Car
rage horses look well in snowy head-gear,
and handsome blinds are a great improve
ment TO the style and general appearance
of real, well set-up carriage horses. But
for buggy car, cart, stage, wagon, truck,
aud general travel, they are wholly unnec-
cssary, and as regards safety, they are a
detriment rather than an advantage.
Horses, like ourselves, want to sec where
they are going, and the horse that SHES,
proves that he wants to keep out of dan
ger, by the very fact of his shying. We
must consider that a horse leading an
artificial life, like ourselves, walking IN
the dark in a strange place, doesn't see
what is around him if he has blinds on,
and is therefore naturally tim'dand care
full. II a horse is too careful, and takes
too wide a circuit in sh ing, it is with the
best intention from his instincts. But
because he does it a little too much and
more than his driver sees necessary he
shonld not be abused, but spokcn.to softly
and kindly, and thus encouraged, for he
means no wrong. The stupid lunkhead
will go 80 close to a hole that n wheel
will fall into it, while the horse ofintelli
gence, will keep well away from il, but
not having studied geometry, he does moi
know the exact length of The axles, and
the distance necessary to keep from the
danger. Man himself doesn't keep away
from danger at all times, though he has
the advantage of sense and reason sup
piled him.

FARM HOUSEHOLD.
TOPICS OF INTEREST TO THE
FARMER AND HOUSEWIFE
Shocking Grain,

3AoNAAhb -
Very few farm hands know how to shock
graia properly; and yet others shock
poorly because OF Incidence. II is poor
policy TO have the shocking done by boys.
The use of the self binder must remove
all Reuse for the work being done by
them. Surely. enough men can now be
got to do this work. The self-binder is
usually set to make rather large bundles.
and they are always compact. Hence not
more than twelve of these bundles should
be put in a shock. If more are used, the
grain will not cure properly, and more
are not required to give the shock the
needed stability. Two persons should al
ways work together. Let each take two
bundles and set the two pairs together.
Then. let each man set one bundle at the
end nearest to him, alternating with the
two already SET. Two bundles at each
side, alternating with those previously
set, and the two cap sheaves, complete
this model shock. Each bundle should
be driven down into the stub5le. All
should lean slightly towards q common
center. Do not place the shock in a de.
preston but this is the only excuse for
not placing them in a straight line-mak-
ing the loading less announcement. For
cap sheaves select long, slender bundles.
Break them thoroughly, and be careful
to place the tops in your arms and draw
them together. When the cap sheaf is
placed, do not pat it down with n stroke
in the middle. but by bringing an arm
down across each end. Spread the cap
sheaves to cover the entire shock. Any
wbisp Of grain standing out can be tuck
ed IN.

1t has been estimated that one.half the
adult men Of American birth living in our
cities are ald-headed. The estimate is
not exaggerated, if it is applied to persons
above the age Of thirty, and it may be
rather under the mark. If, now, il be
conceded that one-half of our American
business and professional men are bald at
the present time, 1t would he interesting

heads of their descendants some hun.

pagated In the male line, and to appear a
little earlier in each generation. The
American nation is threatened with the

out, because it gets plenty of sunlight

scalp needs also. Women are less bald
than men, because, for one reason. their
scalps are better ventilated. In fine, civ.

The best crops for soiling are rye, Glow
er, or lucerne (also called alfalfa }, oats
and peas sown together, and corn; the
succession will be in about the order here
named. Rye, sown the preceding fall,
will surely be ready 10 cut by the latter
part Of May, and If corn be own early In
the same month it will follow on after
oats and grass. and If sown thereafter at
intervals Of q fortnight or so, there will
be a supply until frost. Each subsequent
sowing will require a slight increase of
seed. The quantity Of rye sown per acre
should be about two bushels, and the soil
should be rich. 1t is well to pillow land,
on which corn is to be sown, in the fall,
then harrow it about the middle Of April
and prepare at ono for sowing. II nc
manure is ready for the corn and com.
mercial fertilizers are used, SOW about SOC
pounds to the acre, in the burrows. Fur
rows should be marked out two and O
half or three feet apart, or If the double
row system IS followed, SON two rows
about six inches apart and then leave
space Of two and a half feet or more, fol
cultivation, between the double rows. In
n respect, at least. corn is more valuable
than any other crop for soiling, as 1t can
be fed in q green state from midsummer
until frost comes.s

Time to Market.

Whether the farmer should thresh his
grain as soon as possible and market II
as once, depends upon circumstances of
which the most important is the character
OF his granaries. Our experience and
observation, extending over many years,
convince us that the better plan is to
market at once, unless provided with
good g%ranaries. The market quotations
show that usually there is considerable
advance in the price of oats and wheat
from TALL to the succeeding summer. but
to Offset this there is the non-use of the
money, the s~hrinksge Of the grain and
its waste and damage by vcrmin, to which
should be added the expense of insurance
Yet, II the farmer has good granaries, he
will find II profitable to hold his small
grain year after year. II such q granary
Is lacking. the better plan is to market
the grain as soon as threshed, or Us soon
after as II can be conveniently disposed of.

" The Cup that Cheers"

The society columns of the papers notify
US that the season for o'clock teas has be-
gun. Certainly there is no more simple or
gracious way of entertaining a friend who
drops in for moment than by giving
him cup of tea and sweet biscuit, both
served daintily and estheticallv. To do this
acceptably. however, the first requisite is
good cup of tea. No hostess could offer a
guest tea that has been stewing an hour or
two. According to an old tea merchant of
New York, very few hostesses know how,
to make a good cup of tea more than that,
they do not know the taste, he says. He
gave his directions for making a cup of tea
as follows First, the kettle used for boiling
the water should be lined with porcelain,
and washed and wiped, after using. as care
fully as any vessel used in cooking, but it
should never he use1 for any purpose but
this special one. The water should be per-
fectly fresh, and only allowed to boil one
minute, never any longer; even less time
is desirable. One teaspoonful of tea al
lowed for each cup, and one for the teapot
which should be rinsed out with hot water
in order that The temperature of the boiling
water, when poured on the tea leaves,
should be reduced as little as possible: use
only enough water to serve the number of
cups of tea desired. Do not put the tea
pot near the fire, but cover with tea-cosy,
to keep warm. He claims that if these di-
rections are followed, 1.-THE cup that cheers"
will be found to please both eye and taste,
and the hostess will find that in following
these directions she has found the road to
popularity and fame.-[Christian Union.
