sponge rub the surface over with the am

the skin. Then wash the hair and hide
thoroughly, scraping the water out of the
hair with wooden cloth or other scraper
having thin, smooth edge. Rub dry
with wooden cloth and cover with dry
blanket, keeping the horse out of cur
rent of air, if this be cold. Be careful if
the hore is exhausted by having had a
hard drive.
Merely cleaning the dried sweat from
the hair of horse is a small item in the
process of thorough grooming and clean
ing. 1t should be remembered that 1t Is
the skin, and not the hair, that carries on
the process of eliminating such secretions
as the body requires relief from; that is,
such as escape through the pores of the
skin. The intestinal tract and the kid
neys and bladder present but a limited
surface for the eliminating of refuse
from the body, as compared with the
skin, yet, when horse gets sick how
ready men are to say, give him ply
sic''-salts or aloes, or Give him diure-
tic"-niter or pumpkin seed tea. An
ounce of prevention is, as often stated,
worth pound of cure, and if, in con junc-
ton with care in feeding feeding enough
and not too much, and of the right kind

Making Garden in the Fall.

1t seems to be hard matter for the
average amateur to set himself about
garden making at any other time than in
the spring. As a result many flowers, and
some vegetables and fruits, that succeed
best for autumn planting are either not
raised at all or else it is done to poor ad-
vantage.
The hardy Dutch bulbs, Hyacinths, Tu-
lips, etc, arc one class that are much
sighted in this respect. To us it is clear
that fine collections of these flowers would
be much more common, could they be
! planted in the spring along with most
| everything else, instead of in the fall.
From September until cold weather is the
time to plant these.
Certain kinds of ANNALS are better for
fall than spring sowing. In nature we
may observe that summer and autumn
sowing is the invariable rule; seeds drop
to earth as they ripen, and spring forth in
the same fall or early the next spring. All
florists, we believe, now SOW Candytuft
and some other kinds in the fall for their
| first crop of outdoor spring bloom from
| these.
For a list of ANIMALS suitable for fall
sowing we would here name the follow
ing:
Alyssum moritimum, Bartonla aurea,
Calandrinas, Candytufts, Clarkias, Collin
das, Erisymum, For get me nots, Gilias,
Godetias, Nemophilas, Saponarias,
Silenes, Virginia Stocks, Pansies and
Sweet Peas.
OF these, all bnt the Sweet Peas, should
be sown between the middle of August
and the middle of September. The Peas
| ought not to 60 in before November, the
idea being not to have them terminate
until early next spring. Still we cannot
recommend the sowing of ANNALS in
every kind of soil in the fall; the soil for
them must be light and well drained.
The chief advantage of fall sowing Is that
the plants grow stronger, root deeper and
flower earlier and longer than those from
spring sown seed.
In the line of vegetables spinach and
borecole or kale for an early spring crop
are the better for being sown early in this
month. To SOW ghese now in good soil is
to secure fine early spring greens that
should prove most acceptable to any
table.
Cabbage, Cauliiower and Lettuce may
also be sown for plants to be kept through
the winter in cold frames for an early
crop next year.
Take one season with another and there
is no better time for starting a Straw
berry bed than now. By setting out good
young plants this month strong bearing
stools will already be present for next
seasons fruitage, thing impossible to be
secured if the planting be deferred until
spring.

Clean the Horses skin.
Rural New Yorker,

1t is not enough that the groom should
merely clean off the dry deposits that re-
main from the sweating process through
which the horse may have gone. This, it
is true, removes the apparent foulness,
but it is far from meeting the work that
comes under the head of grooming.
There is no way IN which one can do the
horse more real service in the way of
keeping him healthy than by washing his
skin with water as hot as the hand can
bear. Whether this is done Immediately
after drive, when the horse is perspir-
ing freely, or when at rest and the skin is
perfectly dry, large blanket should be
provided to cover the animal and keep it
covered during the process of washing,
keeping it on the shoulders while
washing the hind quarters, and vice
versa.
Provide yourself with a large sponge
and piece of good soap, or instead of
this, an ounce of aqu ammonia. Put this
into a quart of water if it be of the high
est strength, and into a pint if it be of
low grade, and after moistening the hair
and skin with the hot water, with small

Streaky Butter.
AgI iculture.

Many butter makers are sOrely troubled
with notified or streaky butter. Many
writers attempt to throw a mystery
around the subject by attsibuting the
trouble to sour milk, age of the cream,
food the cows eat and many other causes
that may possibly have done it, just as it
may possibly have been caused by any
other foreign substance getting into the
milk, cream or butter. Why bring about
this confusion while the fact is that in
ninety-nine in every one hundred cases
where notifies appear in butter it Is
caused directly by the salt put in? To
prove this, take a point of a toothpick
and taste some from the different colored
parts of the butter and the fresh taste of
some and the salt taste of others will sat
isfy the most skeptical. The remedy lies
in two directions. First, use very fine
grained salt and spread it thoroughly
over the butter while it is worked out in
to thin sheet. Put the salt in little at
a time, and after it is pretty well incor-
por4ted with the butter, set the mass
away for at least two hours, and then re-
work it sufficiently to destroy all streaks
or notifies. The other way is to stop the
churn and draw off the buttermilk when
the butter is the size of wheat grains or
little smaller and then thoroughly wash
the butter in strong brine. The only
trouble with this method is that it hardly
gives a salt enough taste to the butter to
suit the open market, though it is suffi-
cient for the better or higher priced Gus
toners. The butter maker must be gov
erned by the tastes of those who buy his
butter.

Only few vegetables can be wintered
out doors in this north without protection.
Parsnips are among the exceptional veg
etables which the winter does not destroy,
and except for use while the ground is
frozen, may be left in the soil. Satisfy
or vegetable oyster is of similar nature,
but beets, turnips, and carrots will not
stand excessive cold; to retain the fresh
crisp flavor, they should be taken up as
late as possible, and placed in the cool
cellar or in pits with earth and straw
enough over them to prevent freezing.
The latter is the method most in vogue
with market gardeners, who usually know
how best to present their vegetables in
the finest condition. Artificial heat in
any form spoils the flavor of vegetables
generally. The sweet potato is an e1cep-
ton, and will rot in temperature below
SOC, while dryness does not iniure it.
CaSbages may be pulled up roots and all,
turned upside down, the heads packed to-
gether in beds six feet in width, aud the
ground between the rows thrown over the
heads. In extremely frosty weather,
they cannot be reached, and enough must
be left in the cold root cellar for winter
use. Onions require dry barn or stable
loft, and should not be packed more than
eight to ten inches deep, with foot of
straw over them to keep out frost. In
the extreme North some fire protection
may be necessary. For families use a
stringing can be kept hung up in any
part of the cellar. Onions will stand 2O9
of frost without injury if dry. Celery is
best when taken from the open ground,
but should be taken up and placed close
together in beds with earth and little over
all to keep from freezing. Winter
squashes require dry place free from
frost.

Mary Elizabeth Edgar, only child of

years absence, returned to this place on
Monday to claim the estate left by her
father, who died in January, 1882. Over

scene with her father she left homo, and

Greenville saw her in Dayton, Ohio, and
thlther her fathar sought her but she had
disappeared. When she left she was a
beautiful woman of %. Now she returns
a gray-haired woman of fifty. Ten years
she has lived in CarrOltown, Mo. She was
married to man named HOyt, and has a
son. Her father was a Spiritualist. and
left instructions in his will to his execut-
ors that he would appear to them to direct
his affairs within two years after death
Naturally they awaited his coming with
fear and trembling, but he came not.
Then the property, including hall left
TOR the purpose of spiritualistic meetings,
etc, was sold, and the money put at inter
est. Advertisements were spread far and
wide In all the states and territories offer
ing $500 reward for any information of
the missing daughter. Even in Califor-
MA papers they published the notices of
reward.
Claimants appeared in that state, Colo
RADIO and others. An Ohio claimant came
personally, but was soon proved an i'm
poster. Mrs. Hoyt saw the notice in a
Missouri paper and came on at once.
Old citizens recognized her Immediately,
and she has answered all questions salts
factorlly so far. She will take steps to
formally claim the property, which
amounts to between $4,000 and $4,000
The whole affair would form the basis of
most interesting novel. Citizens who
know all the facts in the case and her
fathers unavailing search all supposed
her dead years ago. The distant heirs
had just taken steps to have the property

Affection ola Lion and LioneSS.
Galveston News,

Eaton Stone, the famous Old-time cir
Gus rider, relates the following incident
Il remember the first time a man ever
went into a lions den. 1t was back in rs
before Van Amburgh's time. 1t was in
New Orleans. His name was Lane, and
he had charge of lion and Iioness nam
ed Ajax and Nance. One day A lax took
sick and Lane determined to go into the
cage and physic and nurse him, satisfied
that the lion was too sick to do him much
injury should he seek to attack him. A lax
showed such an appreciation of his kind
ness that he insisted on licking Lanes
hand with his tongue and rubbing his
head against his knees. l forgot to say
that before going into the cage Lane had
Nance partitioned off in one end of the
cage. While she seemed to understand
what Lane was doing to her mate and
appreciated the kindness as highly as he
did, Nance would try to get Lane to lick
his hand and paw him, and one day he
decided TO go into the cage without shut
ting her of to herself. As be expected,
she was as afectionate as she could be,
and joined Ajax in his demonstrations
of kindness and affection"
