Strange Custom.

A strange Japanese custom has, ac-
cording to he Japan Mail, been
brought to light oy the working Of the
CONSUMPTION law. The head Of GER
tain family was instructed that the time
had come for his son. whose name was
on the census list, to undergo medical
examination prior 10 actual enlistment.
The father lost no time in informing
the authorities that the individual re-
ferrcd to, though bearing male name,
was his daughter. He explained that
having lost two daughters, both about
one year old, he had been driven to
this expedient to keep the third alive.
1t appears, further, that in many dis
tricts Of Japan people still resort, in
their anxiety to prolong the lives Of
their children, to the custom Of bestow-
ing upon their offspring names ordi-
narily given to infants Of the opposite
aex. whenever death has made frequent
visits to their households.

Kitchen and Market G.raen.

Cabbage and other plants that have
been wintercd under glass in cold
frames, need close attention; they
should be exposed, to harden them,
whenever the weather will allow.
Hot-beds are to be started six weeks be-
fore the plants can be safely set in the
open ground. These need close atten-
ton in airing. The suns heat in a
closed bed, will destroy the crop in a
few hours. For family garden, enough
plants can be raised in boxes in the
kitchen windows as already explained,
with less trouble than in hOt-beds.
Vegetables are of two kinds, hardy and
tender. The hardEku as peas, pars-
nips, beets, onions. cabbages, ETC.,
may be sown whenever the frost is we'll
out Of the ground. Sweet corn is a
tender vegetable, and whenever the
ground is warm enough for compliant
ing, then beans, tomatoes, cucumbers,
squashes. and all others Of that family
may be risked. To have early pota-
toes. keep the seed-potatoes in warm
room to start the eyes. Peas of the
round kinds, may be planted very early;
the wrinkled are more tender. Rake
off the coarse litter from the asparagus
bed, and carefully fork in the fine
manure. Secure pea-brush and beam
poles, before the leaves appear. Pro-
vide all needed implements. Have a
seed-drill and hand-cultivator, unless
the garden is very small. Turn the ma
nure heap, and add water if too hot and
dry.

A Little More Cider.

The Springfield Republican says
that the big apple crop and consequent
overflow of cider enabled the Willing
ton farmers to pass an unusually glee-
full winter, and correspondent relates
these recent cider anecdotes: Uncle
Enos after a round of calls on rela-
tive, and ashc in an unsteady voice
for a glass of cider to help him up the
hill. NO, Uncle Enos." said the
woman of the house, .'you have had
cider enough to-day, but anything that
have that you would like to eat you
are welcome to- .Well, Eliza" said
the old man. Il know you won't go

and exercise all the tools Of his trade
upon. So he makes q shoe and fits the
hOof to it; he removes the natural
polished exterior, which by its tough
elasticity defends the tender parts
from injury, is nearly imprevious to
water, and permits little evaporation
Of internal moisture, by which it is kept
normally pliable and vitalized to the
very surface. He rounds and smoc tbs
off the new surface; leaves it in a con-
dition to allow the moisture of the hoof
to pass off rapidly, and the hoof to dry

render an old boot pliable and present

The Lard and Butter Contest.

That is serious fight which is now
going on between lard and butter.
Each has its origin on the farm, and
the tendency of this war is to divide
the farmers household. The son that
makes speciality of butter has no
liking for his brother who breeds hogs
as speciality. Each goes on produc-
ing his kind after its kind, and sends
his produce to market; there it is
handled by the merchants, and the
lard dealer tries TO force his product
into the market that has heretofore
belonged to the butter merchant. The
attempt to substitute one healthy food
product for another in the market
may be reasonable and commendable;
but when a plain imitation is made to
resemble superior article. with the
intent to deceive the consumer, and
rob the better article of its market, it
should be prevented. Besides lard,
there is quite list of these articles,
and it would seem that one common
law could be drawn that should cover
them all, lard butter, shoddy-cloth,
glucose syrup, table oils, ETC., and
compel each one to be sold under its
proper name, and plain legal
brand.

LOVELY BUT WELCOME.


When have said my quiet say.
When have sung my little song,
How sweetly. sweetly dies the day.
The valley and the hill along:
How sweet the summons, sCome away
That calls me from the busy throng.
I thought beside the waters flow
A while to lie beneath the leaves,
thought in autumn's harvest glow
70 rest my head upon the sheaves:
But 10, methinks the day was brief
And cloudy; flower, nor fruit, nor leaf
/ bring, and yet accepted, free
And blest, my Lord come to thee.
What matter now for promise lost,
Through blast Of spring or summer rains
What matter now for purpose crost,
For broken hopes, and wasted pains.
What II the olive little yields,
What II the grape be blightedl Thine
The corn upon thousand fields,
Upon . thousand hills the vine.
Thou lowest still the poor: oh, blest
In proverty beloved to be.
Less lowly ID my choice confessed,
love the rich In loving thee.
Ny spirit bare before thee stands,
bring no gift, / ask no sign,
come to thee with empty hands,
The surer to be filed from thine.

From Bad To worse.

Uncharitable remarks and careless,
uncalled for criticisms often have
most embarrassing reflex action on the
person making them. II such things
need be said, as they sometimes seem
to be, it is at least wiser to keep them
for the ear Of an intimate friend. Hav-
ing Numbered, person often blunders
more deeply in his struggle to extricate
himself and repair his mistake. as the
following examples will illustrate:
At an art exhibition, q gentleman
remarked to q stranger standing be-
side him, THAT picture of KS is a
fearful daub, don't you think sop
The gentleman addressed, Il beg
your pardon, but am the artist"
''Oh beg ten thousand pardons! The
fact Is, l don't know any thing about
art just repeat what ! hear every
one saying!'
A critic dropped into a studio in
Paris one day, stopped before the por-
trait Of lady on the easel. and re-
Marked
But why did you take such an ugly
model?"
1T is my mother" calmly replied
the artist.
''Oh, pardon a thousand times!'
said the critic in great confusion. you
are right. ! ought to have perceived
it. It resembles you completely"
At an English reception gentleman
said to Lord North, who is that
frightful looking woman?" indicating
lady across the room. His Lordship
answered, coolly, THAT is my wife,
The other, to repair his blunder,
said, II did not mean her but that
monster next to her,
''Oh,' said Lord North, THAT mon
ster is my daughter"
With this story Frederick Robinson,
in his usual absent, enthusiastic way,
was one day entertaining a lady whom
he sat next to at dinner, and 10! the
lady was-the monster in question.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Care Of sitting Hens.

March is the month to set the hens,
for the earlier after this they arc set,
the better the chicks will prove. OF
course every hen has been set that
would stick to her nest during the past
month, but as hens must lay out their
clutches before the sitting fever takes
possession of them, the larger number
will not be ready for the nest before
this month. DO not sell any eggs now.
but crowd the hens by setting all that
can be relied upon. When it comes to
finding them all nests, much discretion
is needed, that confusion does not
cause trouble and loss. Ofcourse, the
simplest way to set them is in rows in
the hen-house, but the hens will not
all remember their own nests, and will
crowd two or three on one nest, leaving
their own eggs to become cold and
perish. 1t is advisable to set the hens
in different rooms and apart from one
another. but If the nest rows must be
used, then there must be careful watch
fulness. A good rule is to keep the
windows well darkened, SO that the
hens will not be tempted to leave their
nests until noon. When you give the
other chickens their MONDAY meal,
and while they are feeding, GO in the
hen-house. take all the sitting hens of
the nests, and make them 90 out to
feed. While they are out, clear the
nests of broken eggs, dirt and feathers,
loosen up the straw little, and dust
Persian insect powder over the eggs.
Now comes the critical time. Do not
forget what you have done, and do no.
trust the hens, but within half an hour
be sure to return, and see that each is
on her own proper nest, or you will
have trouble every time they come of.
Hens are creatures of habit, and a
little training goes a great way with
them. II they can be made to keep
the same nest three or four days, there
will be little danger that they will
make any mistakes about it for the re-
mainder of the time. That will save
you the trouble of moving them, but
not the responsibility Of seeing that
they return promptly to their nests
after feeding. When all is right,
larken the sitting-room again and
leave them until the next day at feed
ing time.

The neglect of stock in the spring,
entails heavy loss all through the sum-
mer; especially is this true with
horses that have to carry the burden Of
spring work. Without making super
fluous flesh, they should be gradually
fed up and kept at work sufficient to
harden them, so that when the plow-
ing has to be dore. they will be in good
working order. You must not stint
the supply Of food to the cows that are
fresh, or they will lose SO much flesh
that the milk yield will be materially
cut down all through the summer, for
the COW will look after her own flesh,
before she will devote herself to the
milk pail. Give the calves and young
things generally, that generous care
that surely starts them on successful
career. Neglect of the young is the
first step toward shiftless farming.
The cold rains and north winds of this
month, are much more trying on all
kinds Of live stock, than colder and
drier weather. For this reason keep
all stock housed that can be. DO not
allow warm days to deceive you into
keeping the animals out at night, when
they are likely to become painfully
chilled.
The Iowa plain dealer. [volume] (New Oregon, Howard County, Iowa) 1867-1895, 1886-03-11

The horse is one Of the most superbly
perfect Of Natures works, viewed
physically; and he occupies besides an
exalted position among animals as to
his intelligent and moral qualities. 1t
is therefore most painful to see how,
under the handling Of intelligent CD
man, he Is maltreated aud even abused.
He submits his neck to the yoke un-
complainingly: he accepts the IRON
plating Of his feet; aud he allows the
CALLING check upon the movements of
his head, and yet gives man his best
service even to the death. The ignorant
smith has his views as to what should
be the shape of his feet; SO he cuts and
rasps, and forms them to suit himself.
He has an idea, that the hoof is made
